I want to record a vinyl record directly to my iPad from my USB turntable

I just bought a new turntable and I have many old vinyl records. Can I record these records directly to my iPad Air? The turntable has a USB output. I could the audio files into my computer but I prefer to do it directly to the iPad if possible.

If you want to try it, go for it. However videos are imported via the photos app and that only works for photos and videos that follow a very strict naming convention. The reason you get sound on a video is that it's all packaged as the .mp4, .m4v etc of the video file. The connection itself only sees photo and video files. It doesn't see documents and doesn't see audio files. Maybe there's an app out there that does.
one thing to bear in mind, in 2011 Apple changed the amount of power allocated to the port, and available to the camera connection kit (that's what you're seeing that has the USB in) so stuff that worked prior to that sometimes didn't work after.

I want to record 25 or 30fps video from the webcam of my macbookpro. Quick time or iMovie create 14 to 20fps (variable fps) videos only.

Hi,
I wanted to record high frame rate videos (25 or 30) using my MBP. I tried photo booth, Quick time and iMovie, but they record movies in variable frame rates (14 to 20 fps) even if i save them in different formats. I cannot find any setting to change frame rate in these softwares.
Before going to buy a new webcam or software I wanted to make sure if frame rate is limited by the capacity of the HD webcam or the softwares itself in MBPs.
If it's the limitation of software, is there any 3rd party software/app that would help recored high frame rate movies with the MBP webcam itself?

I want to put photos on my ipad from a usb stick (with a connector)

When I put the 8GB usb stick into the ipad (through a connector) I get the message
Cannot use device.
The connected USB device requires too much power.
I am trying to load some photos on the ipad.
Thanks

I have 3 USB thumb drives. One, the oldest, causes the too much power msg. Buy a new one.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

HT1202 I want to put the songs onto an Ipad from my Itunes??? HELP

I want to put the songs onto my niece's Ipad from my Itunes... but when i plug the ipad into the computer it says I need to select one of the following 'set up as new ipad' or 'resore from this back up :rachels iphone' .. but i dont want to erase anything, i just want to transfer some songs over????

You can't sync with more than one iTunes library. You will have to enable Manually Manage Music and videos in the iTunes settings and then you can drag and drop the songs onto her iPad. This also requires that you turn of auto syncing in iTunes.
Without connecting the iPad launch iTunes and from the menu go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Check that box. Click OK.
Now connect the iPad to the computer and you will have to launch iTunes on your own. Click on the iPad name under the devices heading. If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu and you should see her iPad under the devices heading. Go to the Summary Window on the righ and click on Manually Manage Music and Videos. Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
Now you should be able to drag and drop songs onto her iPad.
You can read more details here.

Want to record voiceover directly to MacPro

I want to record a voiceover for a broadcast (TV) commercial directly into the computer (MacPro) without going first to tape. I have been unable to make this happen, and had to record to tape then input audio via log and capture.

i have a regular Radio Shack mic with a plug that fits into the front headphone jack.
You are plugging into a spot that only sends audio out, it doesn't take audio in. Headphone jack...just like on an ipod...audio out only. IT will not take IN audio from a microphone.
The mac guy at Best Buy said that this would work, but it doesn't.
Clueless wonder. OR did he mean to plug it into the AUDIO INPUT jack in the back? The one further from the edge, as the one next to the edge is another headphone/speaker jack. I dunno if that will work, I use either the capture card or the USB options.

Want to record ext. synth/voice as tracks in GarageBand 3/Controller Q's?

I want to record sound from my microKORG into GarageBand 3. I purchased a cable with the right connectors (which unfortunately I can't even find now, but when I do) to go from the output of the microKORG to the input on the mac Mini, but I was never able to hear any sound when recording it.
I AM able to use the microKORG synth as a controller for GB 3 using an M-Audio Uno USB cord, but have a MIDI keyboard with larger/more piano keys (though the first key is broken) I plan to use for playing instruments in GB instead if not playing sound into a track from the microKorg.
Also since I can't find the connection cables yet- or even if I do- should I use my Griffin iMic with cables coming out of the microKORG into the RCA cables in the Griffin iMic, hooked up via USB (does the iMic even have a preamp in it? Basically, will it sound better anyway to use the iMic until I purchase an input device/GB controller like Apogee's Duet? And, if I get a mic, can I use it for recording vocals?) Should I get an old iControl (I heard it had a MIDI input, which I can use for my microKORG since I only have 1 free USB input on my Mac Mini, as I have a USB ext, HD- by the way, can I save all my GB audio files- or even the whole GB application- onto my ext. HD, I've learned you can move your iTunes Library to one? Just how useful WAS the iControl, and will it work with the new GB 5 in iLife '09?) or just wait till I can get the Apogee Duet (I hear it's a superior Firewire controller with great sound and built-in presets for GB and Logic, though it's $500) but I'm a bit confused as to how the Apogee can supposedly control GB so well with just 1 knob that I guess is turnable and clickable?
Finally, as a choice for a new keyboard controller, I know you can't control many functions in GB via a MIDI controller, but since I could possibly also use it to control the microKORG's sounds and play normal-sized piano keys, as well as maybe using it with other software, would you recommend I get the M-Audio Oxygen 61-key controller with lots of MIDI assignable buttons (or move up to the even more MIDI programmable Axiom 61 key, which I can get for $230), or just go down to the Keystation 61 ES, with semi-weighted keys (I can get both the Oxygen and the Keystation at around $140 at jr.com). Or if I want to give up some MIDI control for a full keyboard (though I may NOT want to, since I plan to learn other programs like Live and Reason, which I suppose could benefit from the Oxygen's extensive MIDI control- can anyone confirm this?), if I AM willing to give up as many controller functions for the use of a full-sized keyboard, should I go with the Keystation 88 ES, which may be my best bet, as I found one used at $129, if I use the iControl and/or Apogee Duet eventually for a controller, I just don't know how well it can control my microKORG- would I still have to use it for programming/instrument changes and the keystattion 88 es just for playing the instruments? I know I have a ton of questions here, and would appreciate any help anyone can offer- what I need to do first is see if I can use the iMic to record my microKORG into GB 3, and continue using it even after I find my cables that go directly into the computer from it?

No, the iMic has Left and Right stereo RCA inputs, that's the whole point, ...
Then you must have a very special model - all the ones I know have 1/8" inputs:
But anyway - it doesn't make a lot of sense to pick your hardware equipment according to the cables you have. An adaptor from RCA to mini-jack or vice versa costs a single digit dollar amount. Why don't you just get your gear connected and then come back with precise questions? It's not a very good idea to poor out all the questions you ever had about recording in one post and expect concise answers.

I have a new (mid) 2011 imac and want to transfer my old records to itunes but i dont know what usb turntable would be best for a new mac that would have compatible software for ripping to itunes?

i have a mid 2011 i5 imac and i want to transfer my vinyl records to itunes but i dont know what usb turntable would be best for my imac that has compatible software for transfer to itunes

Hallo,
I use an Akai usb turntable with the Audacity sw delivered with it. To monitor during recording I also use the LineIn utility (all this on a Macbook Pro with Mavericks).
It works fine, only the input volume of the usb audio port cannot be adjusted (at least I did not yet discover how to do it) and the volume of the music is lower than other music imported into iTunes from CD or iTunes store, but still acceptable.
Success, Jean

How do I record a quicktime screen recording directly to an external hard drive?

I want to record a screen recording directly to an external hard drive (or flash drive/SD card) and I've heard that doing so will improve system performance by reducing the workload somehow. I'm not entirely sure.
Is that true, will it work, and how do I do it?
Help would be much appreciated!

I think USB is much slower than your internal HDD connection and you might start losing frames. The system itself will do the same job... the only where performance may increase are the actions where you need to read/write from/to the disk i.e. open an app or save file.

Recording direct to macbook pro

How do I record birdsong directly to my Mac using a microphone. I just want to record their song over a period of an hour or two. What software is inbuilt in 10.5.2 or do I need additional software?

You could use GarageBand, which comes with iLife and is installed by default on most if not all new machines.
If that's rather too heavy-duty, then the shareware Audio Hijack Pro would do the trick. It's $32, but well worth it, as it has lots of other functions. It is fully VoiceOver accessible.
Another solution, with fewer features at a lower price ($19.99), is Audiocorder. Don't know about accessibility.
A far more sophisticated recording and editing tool is SndSampler, which costs $39.99, but is an extremely powerful and flexible package. It is also pretty accessible via VoiceOver.
A very popular free package is Audacity. It's also VoiceOver accessible, and used by many blind podcasters, for both recording and editing.

Record directly into iMovie?

I was wondering if I could set up a camera, and record directly into iMovie. I have a long program I need record, and would love to record (import) directly into iMovie.

Yes you can. But there may be occasional short pauses while your Mac "takes a breath" and indexes what it's storing on your hard disc, etc.
Remember that DV video takes up about 13 gigabytes of space per hour, so you'll need that much free space on your disc per hour of recording, and keep about 10% of your total hard disc space free, so that your Mac can still do its internal housekeeping.
You'll need, of course a camcorder with a FireWire/DV/i.Link connection (..all the same thing; just different names for it!..) which generally means a tape-based miniDV camcorder.
(..Although hi-def HDV camcorders have the same FireWire connection, and record onto the same miniDV tape, there's quite an 'overhead' of processing power which your Mac requires in order to convert the incoming hi-def video into the 'Apple Intermediate Codec' format which lets iMovie edit hi-def, so I'd stick with standard-definition DV if I were you!..)*
Depending on the make and model of camera, you may need to put a tape in the camera - or not - and switch it to either Record or VCR mode. (..In a quick test here I've just turned on my Sony camera in 'Camera' mode with a FireWire cable connected, and iMovie is displaying the picture from the camera, and imports it when I click iMovie's "Import" button..)
"..I have a long program I need record.." ..erm, if you're pointing it at a TV screen to record that, you'd want the camera on some sort of support, and - if you have Manual Focus - you may want to de-focus slightly to avoid the moiré pattern which you might get from tightly focused dots (pixels) on the screen. You'd also want to adjust the camera's White Balance so that the screen looks the right colour!
*P.S: hi-def HDV takes up more than 13GB per hour, so if you were to use hi-def HDV you'd need to allow much more (..up to 4x more..) hard disc space per hour of recording!

Does anyone know how to record directly to a track using Logic's effects?

Hi there, does anyone know how to record directly to a track using Logic's effects? I know that it needs to run through a buss somehow but I am not quite sure how. Need to Di a bass and want to keep the levels down using a compressor (recording strait into a Mbox with Logic 8). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you route your Bass into a channel in Logic and put plugins/fx on the channel plus you have monitoring on (and monitoring off on your external mixer) - you can record while listening to the effected sound. However what is being recorded is the clean/raw audio - this is a good thing as you can later change your compression/fx settings - printing the effect at this early stage is normally avoided.

I dont believe you can do that directly. You would need to record the audio separately and then import

How can I record directly to my HD using my XL-1?

I have a Canon XL-1. I'd like to record directly to the hard drive on my laptop. Is there a way to set that up?
Thanks,
------------------S

I don't have the XL-1, but here is how it generally works:
Take the tape out (you may not need to do this, it prevents my old DV camera from going in to standby) and put the camera in camera mode.
Plug it into the computer.
Use 'capture now' in FCP or FCE to record the incomming picture straight to HD.
You may want to look in the preferences, and remove the time limit for capture now.
Hope this helps.

I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?
