I always deliver to video systems at 48000, 16-bit, Stereo, no matter what the work. Most video editors are expecting that or something very close to it, and it helps keep the phone calls down. I do that even if I'm producing a single voice track. If something goes wrong in editing, you do not want ...

It ain't purdy, but it does the job. Nobody listening to the music is going to see that unless you show them. Having a very "busy" room behind the microphone helps, too. Hell is an empty room with no carpets. You will never get a good recording in that room. I wouldn't have thought planks...

You can use the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows) to push either the click track or the music sooner or later to help with the alignment. They both don't have to start on one single beat.

I think it's still true we don't have a Beats Per Minute counter. It's a requested feature. You can fake it with your stopwatch app and headphones. Count the beats for a minute -- or from the medical community, check the pulse (beats) for fifteen seconds and multiply by four. BPM counters can get fa...

Which video card do you have? If you have a slow video card and a killer monitor requiring frame conversion, the framerates and refresh intervals in all the systems may not line up fast enough to do split beat accuracy. I have a system like that and I have award-winning lip sync problems. Audio has ...

You can get bit for bit accuracy in your files if you turn dither off and only cut up and export the work to a matching standard. The instant you change the work like volume control or filters or effects, you're dead. You now have a regular sound job and you should turn dither back on according to S...

Did you upgrade for a non-audio reason? If your new device is a lot more powerful or versatile than your older one, you may have run out of computer horsepower. Odd delays like that may mean the computer can't keep up with all the tasks. Did the new device come with software drivers and did you look...

It's about time I've installed the latest update

If you're happy with the version you have, I'd probably stay there. 2.0.4 introduced quite a few Mac problems and 2.0.5 will be out shortly.

Other programs don't have any problem Other Mac programs. At work we have a policy of no punctuation marks or spaces in filenames because our files have to travel to any of three computer types of any age all over earth. If this is a Mac-centric problem, then the Mac programming will have to be ins...

44100 is the sample rate of Music CD and 48000 is the sample rate for digital television. Television carries slightly better fidelity way up there where only dogs can hear. The bit depth is the difference between dead silence and so loud it overloads. Music CD is 16-bit. That's the Readers' Digest v...
