In <1992Nov3.180338.8739@nmsu.edu>, mmartin@dante.nmsu.edu (Marilyn Martin) asks: >How do I get better sound in my Premiere movie on my Quadra? >I shot the video using a consumer grade camcorder and a remote >mike BUT there is a lot of ambient sound (Mac fans, light hum) >and voices and music are distorted and low volume. Is the problem with the footage on the camcorder, or is the problem with the transfer to the Mac? If the camcorder footage sounds OK played back through a regular TV (or through headphones), then the problem is the latter. If the problem is the latter, then you need a line hookup between the audio output on the camcorder and the audio input on the Mac. Never copy a sound track by playing it through a speaker and recording it through another mike! If you're using the built-in audio input on the Quadra, then you may need some kind of microphone mixer to get the level right.

I recall reading in macweek that the quadra 900 (but not the 700 i believe) had some differences with regard to sound input- not a problem, but something that you had to do differently- possibly input levels or impedance or something. The two 'ask the expert columns' in macweek (both columns are in fact much more solid technically than most computer journalism) can be reached from the internet- rick ford: 72511.44@compuserve.com, david ramsey 76702.335@compuserve.com

In order to use these, one must open the Sound controll panel, select "built-in" sound, click on "Options", and then select "External audio". This will provide a far superior sound to that obtained via the microphone port, and I have found the results when using the built-in audio to be much better then when using the audio capabilities of the Radius Video Vision Card.
