How do I input signal from turntable to convert LPs to CD?

Hello:
Like many of you, probably, I have a collection of LPs I want to digitize and store on my MacBook/iPhone/iPod and/or transfer to CD. Does Apple have a simple method for doing this?
Many thanks!
Medren

Quite a lot of info is on the net about this topic. In short:
Your LP player - if you normally need to play it through your stereo, you are probably using Phono inputs on your stereo. This is needed to amplify the stylus/cartridge and provide the RIAA phono equalization. Then I would take a line level signal out of the stereo, such as TAPE OUT, or Preamp Out, and connect that directly to the Mac input.
It is possible you have a turntable with built-in preamplification and RIAA eq, in which case, it would have Line Outputs and could be directly connected to the Mac. It is also possible to have a turntable with a USB digital connection, which is another matter.
On the Mac, you must select the line input with the System Preferences/Sound/input window.
Audacity is fine for recording and editing the LPs into digital files. Use 16 bit, 44.1 kHz digitization. iTunes can be used to make CDs from these files, but options and caveats abound. You do not need to buy Toast to record and make CDs, but many people like it.

How do I input songs from my external hard drive (taken from a PC) and transfer them to my Mac?

How do I input songs from my external hard drive, taken from a PC, to a Mac?

Just a few song tracks, or your whole library? If just a few tracks, drag them from the drive to the open iTunes library window or playlist window. If your whole library drag the whole iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while starting and guide it to the library.itl file in that folder. If you need to merge libraries post back because that's a much longer post.

I would like to tare (rezero) the input signal from a forceplate (glorified

I would like to tare (rezero) the input signal from a forceplate (glorified scale) so that the base signal is set to zero, e.g.: a button on the front panel that resets the signal to zero prior to getting a measurement from a subject.
We calibrate the force plate through labview and input our new equation into our scaling and mapping box which sets the signal to zero (or near zero) and the change in newtons (force reading) is accurate but when the application is closed and reopened the signal does not always start at zero (-400 to +1200 N), while the change in newtons is still accurate. I am NO engineer, I have Forest Gumped my way into getting some nice working VIs but I can't seem to find this function.
Thank you very much for your time.

Maybe that is the limitation of Acquire Input Data.vi.The vi can't identify the Unformal key.
You can try to use Event structure and set to listen "key down" event.
There are two terminals VKey, ScanCode will sent out the information when you press key.
There are two pictures in attached file, 2.jpg will show you the detail.
Good luck.

How to trap (interrupt) signal from JVM

How to capture (interrupt) signal from JVM in case of JVM termination due to Error/RuntimeException in shell script (Unix/Linux OS). Is it possible?
I am executing an java class from shell script. In cetain condition it throws RuntinmeException.
I want to capture the signal from terminating JVM in case of the RuntimeException.
How to acheive this ? Can any one solve this problem ?

Hi
Using the POSIX signal java program , We can trap the JVM signals.

How do I get signal from my Roland Fantom G8 to Logic Studio or GarageBand?

My computer recently crashed, and since then I have not been able to record any music into either Logic Studio or GarageBand. I need to get back up and running ASAP, as I'm in the middle of recording music for 5 different projects. Here's all the gear that I have:
-1 Roland Fantom G8
-1 iMac with Logic Studio and GarageBand
-1 M-Audio Fast Track Ultra
-2 Rokit KRK Monitors
-1 USB cable
-1 midi cable
-2 1/4-inch cables
-2 1/4-in to XLR cables
The 2 1/4-inch cables run from Balanced Outputs 1 and 2 on the back on the Fantom G8 into Inputs 1 and 2 on the back of the Fast Track Ultra. The 2 1/4-inch to XLR cables run from the back of the 2 KRK monitors into Outputs 1 and 2 on the back of the Fast Track Ultra. The Fast Track Ultra is powered via USB cable that runs into a USB port on the back of my iMac. The midi cable runs from the "Computer" port on the back of the Fantom G8 into a USB port on the back of my iMac. This is the exact set-up I had before my computer crashed, and I was able to record just fine. When I open up the audio preferences on either Logic Studio or GarageBand now, it recognizes the Fast Track Ultra; however, it does not recognize the Fantom G8. What I'm trying to do is get signal from my Fantom G8 into both Logic Studio and GarageBand. I also want that sound to then project through my KRK monitors. I also want to be able to record audio and midi. Please help me!!!

I used the Fantom for several years and did exactly what you want to do. I simply plugged my Fantom into a channel on my mixer, in your case the 003. I ran a firewire out of my mixer (Presonus Studio Live) into my computer using Logic Pro X. Then I just assigned that incoming channel to a channel strip in Logic. As an example I used stero channel 9/10 on my mixer, (plugged in the Fantom here). Then the signal went via my mixer firewire to computer running Logic. I assigned my channel strip input to channel 9/10.
Does this make sense?
I just sold my Fantom last week and purchased a new Yamaha Motif XF8. Now I am trying to figure out the same thing on it.

How would i acquire signals from a philips viridia patient monitor?

i'm looking for a simple way to acquire patient vital sign trend data
(BP, pulse, etc) from our Philips Viridia patient monitors in the ER.
How can I capture these signals using biobench?

You can use a software application called MECIFView. It uses the MECIF protocol to acquire these signals from certain patient monitors (such as the Viridia). You can download a demo version at http://www.mecifview.com

How LabVIEW get interrupt signal from microcontroller

Hello,
I try to write a LabVIEW program to test PC Oscilloscope using microcontroller and parallel port.
The program will triger the microcontroller and wait for the interrupt signal from the microcontroller.
Then read the data and show the display.
I defined my ECP port as bi-directional and IRQ enable.
The problem I faced in here is how to get interrupt service in LabVIEW 5.1 without DAQ board.
My computer's IRQ is 07 and I would like to control interrupt service by using parallel port.
Thanks in advanced.
Best Regards,
HMU

Hi,
I was very interested looking for possible answers to your question - no feedback from other people - o.k.
I think, that I have some experience with LabVIEW and
the use of printerport on different operating systems (Win9x,WinNT,W2k). But I would solve your problem with
polling of that "filtered" bit on printerport. If some- body has a better idea - let me know. If you have questions about interfacing @ printerport - please write to: [email protected]

How to retrieve input data from a HTML form in the UTF-8 cha

I encountered the following problem with a JWeb Application:
I tried to write a JWeb-Application for OAS 4.0, that retrieves
input data from a HTML form and writes it into an Oracle
database.
All processing should be done in the UTF-8 character set.
The problem is, that the form data retrieved by getURLParameter
are always encoded in a non-unicode character set and I found no
way to change this.
Can anybody tell me what I should do to get the form data in the
UTF-8 character set?
null

Hi
Try set in the JWEB application's Java environment such
SYSTEM_PROPERTY: file.encoding=UTF8.

How do I add signals from different modules to the same waveform chart?

When using build array to connect signals from different FP modules to the same waveform chart, the array type is not the same as if all the signals come from one Read Array. Only one digital indicator on the chart displays with the build array method. Why

Hi gencell,
There are two ways to plot multiple plots on a Waveform Chart, a 2D array and a cluster of doubles or integers. I would suggest that you use a Bundle to create a cluster.
This information is in the Context Help of the Waveform Chart terminal (from the Block Diagram).

How do I get signal from Digital Optical input (Extigy) to the Creative PlayCent

How can I rip MP3's from the Digital Optical input on the Extigy? The PlayCenter does not seem to have any interest in the Extigy/USB as an input source. Thank you for your help!!?

Since you are talking about variables, I suppose that you are using CP4, right?
There is a fine tutorial in de CP4-help, chapter 'Variables and advanced actions', 'Tutorial on scripting' which explains more elaborately what I will try here:
Create a user variable, p.e. named 'vName' (Project, Actions, sheet Variables)
Ask the user to enter his name in a Text Entry Box; in the properties of this TEB, sheet Advanced you indicate that this name should be put in your variable 'vName'
Wherever you want to show this name, create a Text Caption and insert your variable by the button 'Insert variable'; this button is present in the properties window and also in the formatting toolbar if you are editing in place (look for X and and arrow); the variable in the text caption will show as '$$vName$$' and in the published SWF you will see the username.
Hope this could help you, but please check the tutorial.

How to get a signal from the serial port to start a labview program?

I need to synchronize the data obtained from a program (which is not in Labview)with the data collected with Labview on a different computer. I can send some data strings to the serial port of the computer running the Labview program when the other program starts. However, I need to be able to read the trigger in my Labview program. Do you know what I should do? Thanks.

If you don't have any other programs listening on the COM port, you need to let a LV program run BEFORE the signal comes, otherwise you won't be able to read it. You can have the program wait in a slow timed loop so that it doesn't use up too much CPU time, and when the required "trigger" comes, to move into the main part of the program.
You basically need a while loop waiting for a certain string in the serial buffer. Once the string is found the while loop is exited, and the data acqquisition or whatever else you require from the progam can be performed.
In the example attached the program wait for ANY text to be sent to the COM port. Please note that you need to configure the VISA resource before using it. Once there is something at the COM port, the loop will exit and the rest of the program will be executed.
Hope this helps

How can I input data from a Frontend site into a Backend SWF, pull data, then send back to Front?

So here's what I'm trying to figure out...
I have a site with an SWF that I can put some metrics into, such as ZIP Code, Weight, etc.. then, it takes that info and gives me shipping rates.
I need to build a front-end site that I can have a forms page that will push data to the backend SWF, and then return the data back from the SWF to the front end.
Any ideas how to do that?
Front-end -> SWF (Zip Code, Weight, Size) -> *Calculates* -> Front-End
That should be the flow.. So I need to send data to the backend, GET the data that it calculated, and return the results to my front-end.
Thanks Much.. any questions, please ask..

Depending on what the data looks like coming from the Flash movie, you can use the get or send method to output data from the Flash movie using URLRequest. You can look at the online help example for the URLVariables class. You will still need to use or create a server side script to read in the data, make the changes and send the modified data back. That will be a perl or PHP script and is outside the scope of this forum.
