How can I turn OFF audio monitoring during capture from tape?

Aug 13, 2012 3:22 AM

FCP has a very useful check box that allows you to turn off audio monitoring during capture, so you can listen to other things whilst the batch captures.  Is there any way to do this in PP?  If not, how can I make a feature request?

 

I'm using PP CS6.

 

Thanks for any help.

Dominic

    In your capture window you need to click "edit" over to the right side. Then you need to uncheck both preview audio boxes and you're ready to roll

    Thanks Computer Novice.  Unfortunately the only options available to me when I click 'edit' are to change capture settings to HDV, DV or my Matrox MXO2.  No other options at all.  I'm on a Mac with CS6.  Any ideas?

    Don't know if the Mac OS offers similar, but when capturing on a PC, I bring up the "Audio Mixer" tool in Windows and it shows a separate slider for PREMIERE and I just bring that down to silence so I can watch NetFlix or whatever without hearing the capture audio. Does not affect the volume of what I am capturing in Premiere, just mutes it out to my speakers.

    Thanks Safeharbour, I tried that earlier but the only mixer I can get is for the sequence and has no effect on what's capturing.  Still no joy.  There must be a way.  Any other ideas?

    I left out one part sorry.  After you click edit and you have it on the exact device you want to capture from, then you need to click the settings box to the right then the following box I show in the picture should appear.

    And that's exactly what I would expect to see, but I have no 'settings' option in that window.  It's nuts and I can't begin to understand.  It must be a Mac thing.  Any Mac users got any ideas?

    The only other solution I can offer is to go to "edit" "preferences" then select "playback". Under playback set the default audio device to your capturing device instead of the adobe desktop audio. This will allow you capture but not have to listen to whats being captured. However once it's done capturing you'll have to set it back to adobe desktop audio otherwise you can't hear what you're editing in your timeline.

     

     

    Other than that I'm out of ideas sorry.example 4.PNG

    Nor do I have these settings.

    Do you have a capture card of some sort installed?

     

    I have never been able to turn of the sound while capturing.

    I do not have any 3rd party card installed.

    I'm just using my computers built in firewire port to capture from a DVC-Pro deck and also my older HDV camera.  Although I rarely use them now that I have newer cameras that are totally file based.

    Then it must be the deck.

    That setting has been there for me in every version of PP since it became Premiere Pro (and possibly before), regardless of computer or camera used for capture.

     

    (Note that a device must be hooked up and active for the option to appear.)

    I think it must be related to the specific device set up.  It seems ridiculous that it's not available on every combination, as surely it's just a PP switch (as is the case in FCP7) and nothing to do with the source at all.  Anyway, I need to make a feature request pronto, anyone know the link?

     

    Thanks everyone for your input.  If anyone does come up with a definitive answer or explanation, that would be great!
