Recording VO in PP CS6
Ok, so I thought that I would do something in PP that I used to do in FCP all the time. Record a piece of temp VO. Plugged in the mic set up the prefs for audio HW and proceeded. Failure, lots of problems, audio was distorted and played back at twice the speed, Hmmm I looked at the audio clip it was 41000hz and the timeline was 48000hz Ah ok thats why its playing back fast, si looked for a preference to change the audio recording settings to 48000hz, could not find any way of doing that. Ok so I then made a timeline seq that had 41000hz audio I thought that would work, but no. This time as soon as I went into record I got a horrendous noise that just kept getting louder and louder and I had to switch off.
At this point I abandoned PP and went over to the old faithful FCP 7 open it it up turned on the VO recording pressed record and hey voila a perfect recording which I had to export as AIFF and then import into PP. WHY COULD I NOT DO THIS IN PREMIERE? WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM?
Are there any knowledgeable persons out there that can help me.

Here’s a good setup guide for VO recordings in Premiere.

What mic are you recording with?

The mic I am using is the electroVoice RE20 connected to a Mackie Mixer the levels controlled there and output to the MacPro Audio Line in. The info that you sent me to was very helpful and I was able to record, however it is still recording at 44100hz and our timelines are 48000hz so the sound runs at double speed. I cannot find anywhere a pref to change the recording resolution. Can you please help with that.

Try going into the Audio MIDI setup. From there make sure your Source Line In is set to 48000.0 Hz.
That should hopefully resolve the issue. If it doesn’t let me know and we can try some other possible solutions.

Thank you so much for answering these questions, the midi panel was the way to go to change the Hz to 48000, so that fixed the speed issue. Now to sort out the terrible audio quality noisy and crackly. Using exactly the same setup in FCP without changing settings on the Mackie or the mic recording in FCP is perfect. So there is something in PP that is messing up the sound.

I would try increasing your buffer size under Audio Hardware. If its at 512, take it to 1024 and up until the noisy and crackly goes away.
Hope that helps!

Ok so its all working now, whew that took a lot of effort to sort out. there is not a lot of documentation around to get all this information, even googling the problem only reveals others that have the same issue but no resolutions. Thank you so much for the assistance that you have given me, this is what the Cow was made for.
