You can use pro tools to record Vo to picture too (both ends) if you use a line (such as isdn) where you can separate the tc feed from the audio both ways.
Workd very well. Ive dont ISDN VO rock n roll sessions to picture files for Vo and ADR in UK and Europe and USA with 100% satis.peter

September 14, 2010 at 4:49 pm in reply to: Audio glitches or “Pops” in Sound Forge 9 recordingset it recording and then hit ctrl + alt + del to bring up the task manager. look at system performance and what processes are running, just to see if the machine is copeing easlil. Also, are you recording audio to the c drive. That is a big No no. Always run just the operating system and software on c: and audio rec and playback from another drive, internal or external.
Let us know what you find.

-40 db XLR pads will drop the mixer out to a mic level to send into a G2 transmitter.

September 14, 2010 at 4:13 pm in reply to: Audio glitches or “Pops” in Sound Forge 9 recordingOK
The glitch goes right through the spectral display of the audio, so its not acoutsically generated.Izotope RX does a pretty good job of eliminating it.(on the sample you posted. Not 100% but way way better than the original. Nothing that a low wash of some relaxed music wouldnt mask.
I dont know whats causing it, but id be checking the demmands on your RAM / CPU. It may well be a bussing issue where the pc is struggling to record and store the data.

I always doubt the worth and need of “copyright free” Surely what you really need is copyrighted music that you can afford?
We use https://www.audionetworkplc.com. Not copyright free, but you buy for the use you need. Very reasonable too.
If it must be copyright free look at AKM music, Notepad music, Yopo music, all just a google away.

August 10, 2010 at 8:41 am in reply to: MP3 and WAV transcription file timecode questionAs already said. if you listen to the audio tracks You WILL hear it.
(My ex boss could tell what the tc hour and minute was just be listening to it!!. He was always right, but this skill never gets a girl at a party!)
If you can hear it, you will need a TC reader to display it. This is a heardware thing i rekon.
If you cant hear it, dont bother as its not there.
MP3 doesnt support any tc option OTHER than recording it asa an ltc feed of audio (Longitudinal Time code track)
BWAV is an advanced wav file with Broadcast in its extension. This allows suitably equipped users to tc staamp the file. You will then have to have suitable software to import it and display it. Not even sure that Pro tools does this. A google for reading Bwav timecode should help.Cheers

The only problem im seeing here is the “dont drink coffee” line.
How can you be in the media and not drink loads of it. You must be a balanced, sober, considered, reliable type, not like us frantic, jumpy, red-eye crazed caffeine injectors.Metering comments all seem good, but i dont know of a freestanding app except PPMulator. It doesnt have a phase meter, but does have Middle and side so that should give you a good idea of how much mono compatible material there is. Not sure about bussing audio into it too without running an app like pro tools.

July 16, 2010 at 10:36 am in reply to: Zoom H4N problem – keeps splitting up a continuous recording on meIm curious why youre recording at 96k 24bit. That seems “ultra” for a “ceremony” which i presume is a wedding ceremony. Are you shooting it on a RED or something??? That setting wont be doing anything to lessen your mounting file sizes, which as Ty said, is likely the culprit

Hi Matt. I think you said it all with “I dont know much about audio equipment” Why shoot on a DSLR camera? Clearly this is because youre seeing filmic / picture / stylistic advantages. So why then address the audio without getting in professionals to deliver an equally professional product on the audio front AND then remember that the location recording is only the start. To do any good location recording justice, you need a high calibre Post mixer who can bring the soundtrack to life., just like you’ll no doubt be wanting from the edit and grade!
As Ty said, location recording and dialogue is not an entry level job. No one ever came out of a cinema saying what a great 2 shot, but they sure as hell do say what a great soundtrack!
Enjoy the film making experience, but Id encourage you to put the audio in ALL its disciplines much higher up the pecking order or you’ll be disappointed with the final film
