Problem solved - uninstalled the 0404 and then re-installed it - now have video from the webcam and quality audio from the 0404 mixed nicely audio/video. Next problem - I have created a killer effect in Ableton, but when I record with the webcam/0404, I am only recording the settings from my mixing desk, and the Ableton effect is missing. Any ideas?
You will have to record, put the effect in the audio, play back in Ableton. When satisfied, bounce everything back to a new file. The you will hear the effect. I have worked with video and audio files in Ableton, so I am not sure if it merges all back together or it just creates and file that you can port into a video editor, but I think it will merge it all back. Either way, you will still need to bounce the mix and the vid together. Ableton only works with Quick files to my understanding.
Thank you, most helpful. Can you explain "Bounce everything back to a new file" please?
Thank you again. I will experiment and report back.
May I ask another question?
I have started trying to sync audio drum loops in Ableton 8 using the Follow Action facility.
Problem - I have a "lead-in" sample triggering a main beat loop, but there is a time gap between the lead-in and the main loop starting. Probably obvious, but how do I get the main beat to start immediately after the lead-in loop finishes?
Thanks in advance
Ableton will export the to a stereo track (under file, export). You can see it has an option for video, but I have never used it. This is where you could test to see if it mixes withe the video. You can find a lot of Youtube Vids on Ableton if you need any assistance. One thing to note, make sure your play reference is back to 0 or else you will only get a partial rendering.
Try a little program called Handbrake. It's free and might be able to convert mov files to MP4's.... Which is what you want to upload to the Internet.
Or, you could download the demo of Camtasia. My son has used that to put vids on the web.
Once you have had your 30 days, grab Sony Vegas. Think you get two bites at that? Bog S and the "pro" version.
