Voiceover trough XLR with EDIUS SP??

[The Dane]

I am not able to get any sound input from mine XLR jacks, on the SP board.
I have tried all the different settings, I can find, including capture and voiceover.
When I select voiceover the only input device to select is my soundboard.
When I select capture the ability to select sound capture is blanked out.
The project settings is SHX hardware D1 16:9 pal.
Is there a setting I have overlooked?

Hope someone can help….

I do this all the time but not with the voiceover feature, this feature is limited to hobby users

here is how to do it with the SP

1. add the audio capture button to the player preview window controls in customize section

2. be sure you select an input such as component or composite or s-video and be sure that a signal is present, the black from a camera or TBC is all you need

3. now audio capture won't be blanked out

It is a very useful function. Even broadcasters use it to time the VO.

Edius plays while you can record.

The only thing is that you need a top notch audio device Firewire or usb to get an xlr audio mike hooked up

[antonsvideo]

yes, that would do it

in my case, I have a top notch supermicro mobo and its onboard audio is basically useless

I just turn on DVCapture and feed an audio signal through the in of the NX or the Storm...also open up Audition (or any other application) enable Line In recording and I record. Sound is very clean since I run through a Mackie mixer.

You know I have never got any onboard audio device (on a motherboards) to produce any good audio from a professional MIC.
No matter what I put between them.

Onboard audio sucks :)

I agree with Dave the storm and NX produce prestine audio. Petty they all are not duplex

I use a M-audio FW410 for portability with a laptop, works good, there are also USB mixers that will work, one caveat with either is to avoid other devices on either bus at the same time, like a cam or harddrive, I have a expresscard 54 for external eSATA usage.

Yeah, wish the NX had balanced inputs...but oh well, I clean up the background noise with Audition 2 cleanup tools. Sounds really really good.

It has but it's called sp :)

Yes, but SP does not have HD-SDI...etc...ok this is a bit off topic :)

I use GINA3 from Echo Audio. It is VERY good ... Plug the PCI card into my Supermicro motherboard - and folks says the sound is coming from an audiophile CD player :-).
