The mic needs to be pre-amped before going into the mixer, that’s why I run it through the Symetrix. I also use the Symetrix for voice proc.

I think it has more to do with the computers power supply.

The A&H ZED 24 is used because we have musicians which we interview and record live for a podcast as well as an internet radio operation going on for another client. The board gets used up pretty quickly depending on type of show and who all we have in studio,

The old G4 will work for an audio recorder for the time being. Just wish I had a better non Intel version of Soundtrack Pro to run on the G4.

I needed to split up the audio and video editing workstations up anyway.

Thanks!!

Jordan,

I’m taking USB output from the ZED 24 right into the iMac.

For monitoring playback (during video or audio editing) , I am running computer headphone output back to the A&H mixer and monitoring through one of the channels. However during recording, I turn that channel off and monitor through headphones which I believe are monitoring the USB.

As far as gain, there never seems to be enough. I have input set to max in the mac’s system preferences, levels on the board set to normal levels, (channel gain set midway). If I crank up the channel gain on the A&H too much it gets real noisy.

Thanks

Interesting discovery. I lugged out my old non Intel Mac G4and routed the USB cable right from the console and recorded on an ancient version of Soundtrack. Clean as can be. Noise floor extremely low – practically imperceptible through headphones.

This tells me that the USB input or audio circuitry on the back of the iMac is inferior. Any ideas?

This rules out the Heil, A&H mixer and pre amps – whew!

Thanks

Excellent – thanks!!

Problem solved. The sequence must be sent to the queue in the adobe media encoder first

Have no idea why but preview and program video is now visable. Shut everything down, then relaunched and installed updates.

thanks

Now Premier won’t even boot up. Everything else in Production Premium does load up but Premier.

Will I have to do a complete uninstall of all the Premium apps then install everything again again? Never had to do this before with any app.

Thanks

Todd,

Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Ain’t Adobe grand?

[Mark Welch]

That’s it. I selected clip in the Project panel then went to Breakout to Mono but first had to select mono under the modify audio channels. maybe Adobe can streamline this a bit.

Thanks!

[Mark Welch]

Interesting response. We’ll try that. Thanks!
