Capturing audio only

[tdtinker]

Is there a way with Edius 5 and NX card to capture audio only using the the NHX-BayS, or is there a way to get Adobe Audition to see the NHX inputs?
We are trying to capture a audio reel to reel tape. When we had the storm cards we used storm audio to capture audio.

Hi Tom

customize the player/deck window buttons and add the audiocapture icon, it is not there by default

then you can do audio only captures from any NX input

Or download a free capture application like "Audio grabber".....may not be the best, but I use if to capture audio for converting tapes and vinyl to make CDs....works like a charm.....auto tracks for CDs....and you can control the input levels....

But it doesn't see the NHX-BayS inputs for audio only.

yes it does, but only if a video signal is present at the same input, it can be a black signal from camera with lenscap on etc

Anton, you know what I did to be able to use any audio source?......I did not use the old method of looping the audio out from NX to the input of the sound card of my PC....what I did is pass it through a multi-channel audio mixer, and then into the PC sound card....in that way, I can capture audio from any source without having to worry about the NX card....anything that sends audio to my mixer, can be captured.....so in MY case, I never have a problem. I capture mainly through the fire wire input, and if I hace to capture analog, its through the audio mixer for my audio, and I have full control of my input levels, and can even do a little cleaning..not much, before it is captured........was working like this for quite some time now......

Good work around, but do keep in mind that using the onboard soundcard, any onboard sound, will have a drop in quality compared to the much better AD converters in the e.g. NX card.
You are however free to use various sample rates as with the NX it will be locked to 32 / 48 Khz ..............
