Voice Over Recording in Premiere Pro CC 2019 doesn't work

Does anyone else have this problem? I want to record a voice-over and it doesn't work. I checked the internal audio settings of my new MacBook Pro as well as the internal software settings of CC 2019. Both show the VO Mic. And while I see the sound get into the laptop I don't get any audio levels in Premiere. When I tried this with the older version CC 2018 it worked as it always has. Does anyone have a fix? Do I need to install a new plugin? That would be strange, because in the VO record settings it shows that it recognises the mic...

Thanks for your help!

Correct answer Meg The Dog

Just a quick check - if you go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy,  Click on Microphone in the left sidebar and verify Premiere Pro 2019 has access ( is checked).

Hi I'm having the same problem with voice over, its active and I can see the volume etc when recording but it doesn't put any sound waves in Audio 1. If I had a microphone showing in Privacy like Meg_The_Dog screenshot above I could solve it but on the left hand side of my privacy it looks like this screenshot but I have no microphone. Anybody know how can I solve this as I'm desperate to use voice over to complete a project for school. Many thanks

AWESOME!!!  Checking the security & privacy settings solved the problem on my end too.  Thank you so much!  Now I can get to recording correctly.  You saved the day!

Hello Stephan,

just a word to say I've the same problem than you.

My Premiere version is 12.1.2 and I have instal Mojave. Is it the same situation for you?

Hi,

I have version 13.0, but also updated to Mojave (but didn't test it before without the update). It's actually a good thought that Mojave might be the reason and that Adobe needs to do a software fix for this... I am going to write them (in case they don't follow this discussion)

I can't replicate your issue on my iMac. Do you have the microphone selected as the input in the Audio Hardware Preferences?

Yeah I have checked all of that. That's why it's so incredibly confusing. The default input is on my VO mic, even the VO function recognises the mic, but doesn't show or record any audio levels

Can you record with your setup? I have the Apogee Mic 96k.

Yes I can record without issue.

Is your timeline audio also set to 96kz?
