Why can't I activate an audio track for recording? (It won't let me)

I want to record VO but PP will not let me...

On Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite in system preferences:

• Audio input is set to C - Media USB Headphone Set (a mic... Alesis usb works fine for VO in Final Cut Pro 7)

• Output is set to the headphone output port

In Premiere Pro CC Audio hardware preferences:

• ASIO hardware is set to 'default input/output system'

• I also tried "C - Media USB Headphone Set but, also, it does not work.

• With the 'system by default i/o' selected, matching output is set to "Adobe Desktop Audio" (only option) and shows:

• "Output integrated: headset 1.

• "Output integrated: helmet 2.

• "C - Media USB Headphone Set: left front.

• "C - Media USB Headphone Set: right front.

all four of them have a few icons square to the right.

In order to record the original Version, I first need to "enable track for recording" in the mixer Audio Track. There is no inside or outside points in my calendar and tracks are not locked or solo wouldn't or anything. So why can't just select the audio track I want to use to record the VO? I click on it but there is no answer. I just want to know why this software is not what it was designed to do.

The track you want to record on must be of the same type as your microphone source - a mono microphone needs a mono track, a stereo microphone needs a stereo track. The track will not enable recording if the source is not appropriate.

  • Unable to activate the track for recording?

    The other day, I went from a PC to an iMac. When I try to record a voiceover in Premiere Pro, it only allows me to activate my track for recording. In fact, I can't even click the button. I use a Blue Snowball USB microphone. Here are the screenshots of my settings for inputs and outputs. I read so many posts on the forum and articles related to it, have changed a few things, but have had no success. I've never had this problem on my PC, so it's mind-boggling. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I'm sure that there is something that I completely forget, but I'm stumped. Thank you so much in advance!

    Just to clarify - your only way out is to not be able to activate the recording of tracks?

    Can you check they type of audio track, you try to save on matches of the microphone (mono mic - mono track)

    If not, go in the menu sequence > add tracks and add a single track:

    and see if the voice on the recording.

  • Impossible to activate the track for recording

    Hello world

    I am trying to record a simple voice-over in first Pro CS6.0.0, build 319 for Mac. First recognizes my USB headset, but I can not select the "Enable track for recording" button (icon: a modish capital letter R) in the Audio Mixer Panel. It is not disabled/grayed, but when I click it, nothing happens. I tried this with and without the Red "Record" button (bottom of the audio mixer Panel) selected. There is nothing on the track I want to record. I tried with two different microphones.

    I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.2, standard (not administrator) account. Everything else works fine. What gives?

    Thank you!

    Found a solution! In my case, at least, setting the default entry system to my key USB headset and audio first of System Default Input/Output setting allows me to voice recording.

  • Why can I not hear the audio in my first items 11 projects

    I can't hear the audio in one of my projects, even the old projects that had no problem in the past. I can hear audio for the media before that I have to add to a project but then once imported I can't hear them. I don't see the audio track in the timeline panel.

    I even added a few finished projects created with elements in the past and once in the project I hear no audio

    I tried a number of types of files, MP4, Mpeg, WMV and can not hear one of them

    I did a quick change in a media file then published it and I can hear the audio once it is published. So this is a problem within the project

    Any idea?

    Have you, by chance, recently recorded narration with a USB microphone?

    In Premiere Elements, go to the preferences (under the Edit menu on a computer) and open the page of Audio material. Click on the settings button. What is your output on?

  • How can I set up stereo audio tracks as default in first using the ProRes 422 codec?

    Forgive me if this has been asked several times before. I searched but can't find anything that explained in a language that does not require a degree in computer engineering.

    I'm a new convert to our beloved FCP 7. I'm learning to love dear first - but the audio part of this is driving me crazy.

    I exported from FCP files as ProRes 422 movies with stereo audio tracks. I want to put first in the same way. But when I do it all crashed in a single audio file.

    It plays havoc with the Pan - especially in mixtures which have a mix of stereo music. Apart from this it just confuses me.

    Also. When I create a new project from scratch in the first and I select the custom ProRes 422, this setting doesn't allow to ProRes 422 audio mono. I don't see a codec for something else (ie. stereo).

    Am I missing something?

    I looked in all areas of preferences and can not find anywhere to change this. I just want to import audio data from simple, basic two-lane (and let appear the same) that I would be in FCP, ProTools and the myriad of other editing programs that I use.

    I also want to be able to set up a base of two-way stereo timeline/sequence without having to reinvent the wheel.

    Thanks a lot for all the help and patience. I'm slowly pulling my hair and spend long periods sitting in the corner, hugging my knees and crying.

    My characteristics. Preferred codec installation: ProRes 422 codec

    First pro version CS6 (6.05)

    Thanks again.

    In the project Panel, select all the clips and rightclick/change/audio channels.

    Set it to 2 tack and mono.

    When you drop the clip on the timeline the stereo turns on two tracks.

    You can also set by default in the preferences under Audio (before you import the clips) (stereo to mono).

  • How can I do a synchronized audio track matches the length of the clips selected in a seq multicam?

    I have a continuous multicam sequence about 13 minutes containing a master audio track synchronized, registered separate microphones. I want to rearrange the scenes of her in my final sequence, but when I select a range of clips to nest the length of audio is pasted in the new sequence. I want to cut off the audio signal to match just the clips I have chosen but not synchronous. Is it possible to do or is nesting not how to cut out a sequence and reorganize the scenes in there?

    Thank you.

  • First Pro CC and the lack of audio tracks for .mts files

    Hello guys,.

    I used to edit my files .mts with first Pro CC with no problems until yesterday.

    Now I import my file .mts (made with a Sony VG900), but the first does not recognize the audio tracks (which I hear fine with VLC).

    I tried changing the extension in .m2ts, but he did not, I also tried to reinstall the first but, even once, it didn't work and I tried (I was desperate) to install the CS6 first just to check if the problem is maybe about the CC version. Guess what? It did not work...

    I tried also to convert the file with the encoder in .mp4, but after the conversion, I can't hear the sound with VLC and, of course, this does not work on the first.

    Don't you think it's a first question or a problem of file?

    I used these same files for other videos (as a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1X5vsZ-5yI) and I had no problem. Then I updated the first, I moved the files in the other folder, and the problem came to life.

    Any idea?

    (I'm waiting for my colleague to send me a new mts file just to check if I accidentally damaged the 'old').

    IF SO, HOW WOULD I GO ABOUT THIS. (BIT OF A NOVICE WITH THE COMPUTER).

    Hi gordonknott,

    Yes you can. You have two choices... you can tell us the brand and model of your computer so that we can help you get the correct driver or you can visit the website of the manufacturer of your computer to find and download the latest drivers from device to your system.

    I noticed that you don't have to update your system with the latest service pack. I would say that while you're there, you must download and install Windows XP SP3 for better security for your system from the link provided below.

    Windows XP SP3.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=24

    Ignore the warning about network facilities and professionals of computer and when its been install, visit windows update to get the latest updates and security patches.

    Good luck and let us know if this helped.
