Chapter 9, Using Matrox MXO2 with Supported Programs

Adding a voice-over to your sequence

Matrox MXO2 supports voice-over in Adobe Premiere Pro, which allows you to

record audio tracks as .wav files to add commentary to video clips, such as

newsreels and documentaries.

¦NoteMatrox voice-over supports recording to standard, mono, and adaptive

audio tracks only.

Connection and setup

1 Connect the microphone to the audio input on a source device, such as a

preamplifier, and then connect the audio output from the source device to the

corresponding audio input on your MXO2 hardware.

¦NoteThe Matrox hardware audio inputs are line level. Therefore, make sure

your audio equipment output matches.

2 If you’re using a Mac OS X Lion system, proceed to step 3. For Mac OS X

Mavericks or Mountain Lion users, a Matrox aggregate audio device is

required for your system. If you previously created a Matrox aggregate audio

device on your system for the purposes of voice-over, proceed to step 3. To

create a Matrox aggregate audio device, perform the following steps:

a In the Mac OS X Finder window, choose Applications > Utilities, and

then double-click

Audio MIDI Setup.

b In the Audio Devices window, click at the bottom left of the dialog,

and then

Create Aggregate Device.

c Double-click the newly created aggregate device that appears in the left

pane, and type a descriptive name for the device, such as

Matrox Audio.
