Record video and audio from seperate sources

[Brian Louis]

You are not going to get much help unless you tell people what kind of system you are using and its specs

[Elijah Lucian]

windows vista ultimate 32bit

3 gb ram
quad core @ 2.4ghz ea
hp motherboard
Video – geforce 8800GT
audio – motu 896mk3
camcorder – sony dcr-hc26 handycam

is that enough?

How many audio tracks are you trying to record? Are you trying to record the video and sound live? Have you checked the audio setups in Preferences? particularly the ASIO settings

[Elijah Lucian]

im trying to record 2 tracks (analog 7/8) and yes i have checked the asio, but there are no options to select the default input with MOTU ASIO

when i use the default asio driver, it disregards anything i put in, leaving it recording on the default speaker (camcorder speaker) has anybody tried recording from a different mic with a firewire camera?

[elijah lucian] “the default input with MOTU ASIO”

I’m talking about the ASIO selections in Ppro

I have the same issue. I’m surprised that Premiere doesn’t allow you to select separate input sources like Vegas does. The only work around I can find is to manually enable/disable my audio recording devices on the PC.

Still searching for a good solution to record video from one source (DV; firewire) and audio from another (m-audio; USB).

[Elijah Lucian]

yeah i think the reason nobody else understands is because they’re not familiar with what ‘motu’ or ‘m-audio’ is…

brian louis: i know the settings you’re talking about. what im telling you is that when you select a firewire video input the audio is greyed out. it will not let you select a seperate source. my question is regarding a workaround. so far the best ive found is reducing my video to USB and using sony vegas. it seems to be a superior program anyways.
