2 questions about recording

Can I edit a track that I have recorded in Logic Pro? I need to take a bar out of a song is that possible without re-recording it?
Then I would like to record myself singing with the track and put it on a cd-r. How do I record myself with the track? I am not sure if I use logic pro or soundtrack pro?
Thanks in advance,
Tonia

Just delete the bar you don't want. You need a audio interface to record your voice plug in a mic to the audio interface hit record in Logic and start singing. for more details check the Logic Pro Manual.

Planning for Macbook (pro?) Questions about recording audio + multitasking

Hi Everyone
I am seriously contemplating switching to a Mac book (Pro?) in the next few months, and I want to clarify issues about recording audio.
I record music and other stuff at our local church using a mixer and feed stereo straight into a pc which records using the excellent Adobe Audition (... well it works for me :-)
To start with I expect I'll be using GarageBand and later look at other solutions such as ProTools I used to use on the PC.
QUESTION
I would welcome experienced users to comment on how well GrageBand or similar can multi task while recording is taking place. In other words what can I do - Not do, while recording.
Be honest please.
I worry I might get an exagerated reply from an Apple evangelist and I'm not seeking perfection, just knowledge of practical experiences.
I'd like an idea of what limits present users have found running recording apps like Garageband or similar.
As an example : what experiences running large wordprocessing application or Internet (e.g. FTP or Safari) while recording?
Replies appreciated
Pete

If it's an important recording or a once-only opportunity to record something then I would seriously advise against multi-tasking on any computer, PC or Mac, whilst recording. Dedicate all processing power to capturing the recording, and if you want to browse the web/update your resumé whilst recording then use another computer!

Really quick question about recording.

My mate has just bought the same capture card as me, I use a new recording in Quicktime to grab footage on OSX. He want's to do the same but on Windows XP.
Will he be able to to record with Quicktime Pro - Windows version?
Cheers

Hi, I am the person this thread is about. I went onto Apple's website and this is what it says-
"*QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows*
Now, you can easily create movies for iPod, *capture movies in a single click*, share movies via email or .Mac, create stunning H.264 video and much more. Purchase now to receive your QuickTime 7 Pro registration code instantly via email."
Are you sure you can't capture video? If not, I hope Apple will give me a refund due to false advertising.

Question about recording video tapes to IDVD?

I have a Mac OS X version 10.3.9. I’m pretty stupid so please be patient with me. I have some old VCR tapes with important family memories on them that I want to save digitally and than burn to DVD. Can I do this with my IDVD 5? I’d have to hook my VCR up to the Mac, right? But, obviously, the VCR, an old 4-Head JVC, doesn’t have a FireWire port only a RCA audio & video out. So is there a way to do this?? Thanks for any info.

You will need either a miniDV camera or an AV/DV converter box to connect your VCR to your Mac.
With a miniDV camera you could record your VHS tapes to miniDV tapes and then capture the miniDV tapes into iMovie; this also has the benefit of giving you a digital copy of your VHS movies on miniDV tape.
Second, most miniDV cameras are able to do what is called analog/digital passthrough which means you could connect your VCR to your miniDV camera AND connect your miniDV camera to your Mac at the same time and then just play your VCR tapes right into iMovie (you would still use iMovie's capture feature to do this). You might have to select/change some of the settings in your miniDV camera to turn on this feature, one of which is the audio setting which should be set to 16-bit audio.
Third alternative is to use an AV/DV converter box (the Canopus ADVC110 is very popular and great quality, runs about $250). Like the case above using a miniDV camera, you would connect your VCR to the converter box AND connect the converter box to your Mac via FW. You would play your VHS tape and use iMovie capture to get it into your Mac.

Question about recording from VCR to Qosmio

I want to record my old personal Videos from VCR tapes to DVD using my Qosmio F10. I plug the VCR analogue output via a coax cable into the Qosmio TV aerial input and set up the Qosmio to recognize the VCR input as just another TV channel. It records onto the hard drive using MCE but the quality is poor compared to the original video tape. The colors and sound are ok but the pictures are lacking in detail and clarity.
Is there a setting on the Qosmio that I can use to improve the quality or is it the type of input I am using. My old VCR only has a coax and scart output and I can't get the scart output to input to the Qosmio.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Nicky,
Thanks for the response. By Composite do you mean RGB output from the VCR?
The Qosmio has 3 inputs:-
1. conventional TV coax
2. S Video
3. iLink - firewire
There is no straight RGB input tho'
Can I use the iLink with a scart output from a VCR? The iLink works fine with my Camcorder.

The question about Recording Radio

Is there any way to Recording Radio in IPOD 30G?
or is there any of acc? that I have to buy?

Not with the Apple radio/remote, no.

Quick Question about recording

I want to record for a long time, i want to spy on my dogs and see what they do during the day, but how do i record for a long time is that possible? What programs do i use? Photobooth or something else. If you could please let me know that would be great. Thanks!

Your best bet is an external security camera package. I have seen a few out there that are Mac compatible. Google it.

Question about recording video

ok, say I am watching something on my mac (like a T.V. show), can i record what I am watching using the isight camera built into the macbook?

No, you would need a program such as Snapz Pro.

Basic question about recording onto a mp3 player

Hey there,
I have never even owned a mp3 player, but I'm finally catching up with the times, so I'm interested in buying one that meets some very specific criteria. I wouldn't think that these features are so difficult to find, but I'm having a bit of difficulty. Perhaps someone could give me a bit of direction.
I'd like a device that holds a nice amount of information. 5 gigs or so is probably fine, but more is always better.
Of course I'd like to listen to music on this player, but really I'm more interested in using it to record. Simple voice recording (ie, an audio journal, memos, etc.) would be good, but I'd like to be able to do slightly more sophisticated recording as well. I'm concerned that if I get some people to gether to make some music, recording the session with a simple built-in voice recorder will be yield undesirable results. So it seems that something that accepts an external microphone or even a line-in that comes through a mixer would be perfect.
I've only been looking at the various big-name consumer products, and I haven't found what I'm looking for. I don't have any brand loyalty. Any suggestions or direction written in plain English will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Illia-James

Illia-James,
I'm closing this since you have another similar post in the MP3 Player board.

Quick question about recorded waveforms

I have been recording a lot of guitar lately and seem to be doing everything right in terms of levels and gain-staging. However, the recorded waveform seem to be very "thin"--or, it dosn't seem to take up much space in the arrange window. Is this normal, or should the recorded waveform be "fatter" and take up more space vertically? Does anyone have a picure of a normal recorded file in Logic? Thanks for the help.

They can look very different, depending on the source.
Here are examples:
http://www.apple.com/logicpro/
All depending on the part/performance you could have any of these results.
What you want to be aware of is the input level in LP. Experiment with your equipments output levels, until you are hitting the input at a desired level. There are many threads and opinions here on what that level should be.

Question about inserting Sysdate (SQL)

Hi all,
I got a question about records insert when one of the fields is sysdate.
I have to store several records representing a log, generated by the execution of a database package.
Inside my package I wrote an internal procedure devoted to insert a record in my log table for each processing step I wanted to trace (I call this proc each time I want to record a certain step of my package).
My log table structure is: PREC_LOGS(log_date DATE, log_message VARCHAR2(1000)), no constraints at all.
Database ver. 8.1.7.1.0 - Production for VMS O.S.
The 'problem' occurs when several records have the same sysdate (DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS). In this case, if I select log_date,log_message ... order by log_date, the list of records I get respects the sort condition, but when several records have the same sysdate (DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS), it doesn't respect the order of the steps theoretically inserted by the internal proc.

Hi
Add a field to the table that is that uses a sequence
PREC_LOGS(log_id NUMBER(30),log_date DATE, log_message VARCHAR2(1000))
Create a database sequence
The insert statement now becomes something like
INSERT INTO PREC_LOCS(log_id, log_date, log_message)
VALUES (sequence_name.NEXTVAL, SYSDATE, 'Some message');
Then order by the log_id when you do your select.

Questions about VK34 (create condition record with reference)

Hi experts,
When clicking the botton "copy condition" via VK34, an error message pops up. It says the error is due to no definition of select rule. I use the standard condition record PR00.
Q1: How to define "select rule"?
Q2: Any chances to download condition record when using VK13 or VK33?

Hello Colleague.
This Unicode problem occurs mainly with pricing reports (recognized by report names that start with /1SDBF12L/RV14AK).
To regenerate these, call transaction V/LE or use transaction SE38 to execute the report RV14ALLE.
Leave the selection screen empty and execute (F8).
See SAP note 497850.
If you have further questions about the generation in the condition maintenance, I recommend to read Note 886771.
I hope it can help you.

Questions about the content of download meeting recording .zip file

I tried posting this on the resurrected Connect forum, but my Adobe ID wasn't recognized there....
Concerning the files that are included in the .zip file of the meeting recording that can be downloaded:
1) Is there any documentation describing the files and their contents (i.e. what each file represents, what each XML element and attribute in those files represent)
2) Are there any files that capture mouse movement on a shared desktop?
Thank you!

Hi Sean,
Regarding your first post:
Thanks Jorma! I don't have access to an FMS build at the moment but I'm quite certain it's there. As for contacting Jaydeep, I am 90% sure he authorized us to broadcast his email on here if folks had questions about the tool, but, in the case that I'm wrong and he didn't - I'm going to double-check first.
Regarding your most recent post..
"To be clear, the most critical goal I'm trying to accomplish is to create an automated process that will download the recording meeting at its highest quality in a consistent and reliable manner".
I personally believe this is possible; unfortunately, I haven't seen it done yet. If your recording contains:
- audio
- a camera feed
- screensharing
Then I think you might be able to get this going. If it contains shared content, like a shared PPT, this gets trickier.
"To do this, of course, I have to reproduce some of the functionality that Connect provides, starting and combining video and audio streams according to the instructions in the control files."
Exactly right. If your recording didn't contain shared content, then all you've got on your hands are a bunch of audio/video files that you could edit together as you wanted with your favourite video editing tool. If it contains shared content, here's (at a high level) what's happening.
For shared PPTs or FTContent files:
First (for version 9 recordings only), Connect reads the information on the Shared Content's location and SCO within mainstream and indexstream and validates it before loading it. I don't recall this happening to the same extent with version 8 or earlier, but maybe it was. Now, if the content is validated (ie. Connect can find it) the share pod will display as black, if it doesn't, you get an empty pod with an message like "No content is being shared" or something like that.
Connect then looks at the actual FTContent file, and loads the content that is to be shared using the file path and sco ID listed in here. It's important to note that the SCO ID and file path in here will likely not be the same as the original file you uploaded to your room, it's a new SCO id (I believe SCOs of this type are called referenced scos) and new path.
Now...if I was going to build some sort of player which would play all these files in one screen to make a recording...I might not want to use Connect's code here. If you know the file path to the shared content (from FTContent), you could easily view it with the content URL (conveniently also in FtContent). I'm not a coder, but I'm envisioning something like Presenter's GUI where you've got the presentation's content in the main area, and a video file (if there is one) playing back on the side.
Anyways, food for thought if you want to try to go about this. Connect recordings are incredibly complex and they come with a big learning curve, but if you can make sense of them the knowledge is quite valuable.

Questions about using the Voice Memos app

I'm currently an Android user, but will be getting an iPhone 6 soon. My most used app is the voice memos app on my Android phone. I have a couple questions about the iPhone's built-in voice memos app.
-Am I able to transfer my voice memos from my Android phone to my iPhone, so my recordings from my Android app will show up in the iPhone's voice memos app?
-When exporting voice memos from the iPhone to computer, are recordings in MP3 format? If not, what format are they in?
-In your opinion, how is the recording quality of the voice memos app?

You cannot import your Android voice memos to your iPhone's voice memo app. You might be able to play the Android memos and have the iPhone pick up the audio and record it.
Here is the writeup about sending voice memos from the iPhone to your computer (from the iPhone User Guide):
App quality is excellent.

Questions about editing with io HD or Kona 3 cards

My production company is switching from Avid to Final Cut Pro. I have a few editing system questions (not ingesting and outputting, just questions about systems for the actual editors - we will have mac pros with either kona 3 or io HD for ingest and outputs)
1) Our editors work from home so they most likely will be using MacBook Pros - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz 4GB computers with eSata drives to work on uncompressed HD, will they be able to work more quickly in FCP if they are using the new Mac Pro 8-Core (2 Quad-Core 2.8GHz Intel Xeon) or will the mac book pro's be able to hold their own with editing hour long documentaries, uncompressed HD
2) Will having an AJA Kona 3 (if we get the editors mac pros) or io HD (for the mac book pros) connected be a significant help to the editor's and their process, will it speed up their work, will it allow them to edit sequences without having to render clips of different formats? Or will they be just as well off without editing with the io HD?
I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the necessity of the AJA hardware in terms of working with the editors to help them do what they have to do with projects that have been shot on many formats- DVCPro tapes, Aiptek cameras that create QTs and P2 footage.
Thanks

1. with the IoHD, laptops become OK working with ProRes and simply eSata setups. Without the Io, they can't view externally on a video monitor (a must in my book). It will not speed up rendering a ton, nor will it save renders of mixed formats. The idea is to get all source footage to ProRes with the Io, and then the Io also lifts the CPU from having to convert ProRes to something you can monitor externally on a video monitor, and record back to any tape format you want... all in real time.
2. Kona 3's on Towers would run circles around render times on a Laptop... no matter what the codec, but the Kona does not really speed renders up. That's a function of the CPU and just how fast is it. (lots of CPU's at faster speeds will speed up render times).
I'd recommend you capture to ProRes with Io's or the Kona 3 and don't work in uncompressed HD. You gain nothing doing it quality wise at all. And you only use up a ton of disk space (6 times the size in fact) capturing and working in uncompressed HD, which from your post, you're not shooting anyway. The lovely thing about ProRes is that it's visually lossless, efficient, and speeds up the editing process. Mixing formats can be done, but it's better to go to ProRes for all source footage, and edit that way.
With either the Kona or the Io, you then can output to uncompressed HD tape... that's what they do for you no matter what codec you've edited in. ProRes is designed to be the codec of choice for all HD projects when you're shooting different formats especially... Get them all singing the same tune in your editing stations, and you'll be a much happier camper. Only reason to buy laptops is portability... otherwise you're much better off with towers and the Kona 3 speed wise.
