3 x 720p webcams and audio interface multi capture through usb??

software is not the problem for me. i am using evocam at the moment. but my problem is i want to run 3 x 720p webcams and an audio interface at once. i can do this if the quality is low but when i increase the quality 1 webcam drops out...
i am using a belkin usb hub which runs 2 webcams and an audio interface. the other usb port has the 3rd webcam.
will a powered usb hub help me here?
does anyone know any other suggestions on how to run these 3 usb webcams (@max quality) and an audio interface on a MBP(mid 2010)?? (running 10.7.5)
can i do any mods to the MBP at all. i have max the ram @ 8gb....
your help would be great appreciated...

can i plug a USB webcam into an ethernet port? is there some kind of convertor????

  • Logic and audio interface issues. help!

    Hey guys
    I recently bought a small budget recording studio, My first one so bare with the newbie questions and I'm having diffucties with the setup I believe.
    I connected my midi keyboard to my computer that had Midi in/out from the keyboard via USB Midi interface to the computer. That was all cool. The computer was seeing it and in Logic was telling me signals were coming into logic.
    I then connected my Edirol audio interface ( FA-66 ) 6in/6out. to the computer via Firewire. Midi setup in utlilities sees the device. And that's good right?
    I then used stereo jacks to connect the audio interface to my studio monitors. I played a song in itunes music is coming through the speakers, great!
    Now off to the problem, finally. The reason I got the audio capture device is so that I can record Vocals and guitars, but the thing is when I connect my Mic and guitar to the device no sound in coming into logic, eventhough I can play the guitar clean through my monitor speakers. Very strange. I see 6 input/output channels in logic so it sees the edirol. So if i set Input 2 in logic and put the guitar in inputjack 2 the signal doesn't get through.
    Am I supposed to intertwine the Midi keyboard and audio interface together? If so how is that done? Can anybody help?
    Thanks for baring with the newbie!

    Don't go beating yourself up... you'll rob the trolls of their only pleasure.
    It's like you said: you're new. We were all new once.
    Glad you're up and running... let's hear some music.

  • IPad2 - Midi and Audio interfaces / Camera Kit

    iPad2 question I have Midi and Audio interfaces, specifically Edirol UM-880 for Midi and Edirol UA-5 for Audio. If I get an Apple Camera Connection Kit, will they work with my iPad2

    Check out the iRig:

  • Interface with hardware through USB,not NI hardware

    Hi All,
    I wish to interface my hardware through USB using LabView. However,my hardware is not from National Instruments and I wish to know whether LabView can still interface with it. I need it urgently for my project. Hope someone can help. Thanks a lot in advance.
    Cheers =)

    Hi,I think I only have the nxnusb.ini & nxnusb.dll file. I'm not very sure what is the usage for it. I've asked the vendor about the interfacing. He said its possible but its only for experienced programmer. Haha,well,i'm not so sure what he means but thats all he suggested. So I hope someone can help me with this device interface. Thanks a lot.

  • Wanted: Multi-Channel Audio Interface for iMac & GB (USB)

    I am looking for an affordable multi-channel audio interface for my iMac for use with Garageband. My goal is to playback old songs from my old computer (Atari ST) through my Yamaha gear and record the audio into GB so I can mix it. (READ: Not interested in transferring MIDI.)
    My goal is to get at least 4 and ideally 6 channel/track recording in GB. I’m not sure if the multi-channel units I see, such as the Alesis MultiMix 4 or the Behringer Xenyx Q802USB send all channels to the Mac or if they mix it down to two channels first.
    I’d prefer to mix all the channels in GB rather than pre-mix it. Also, I’d prefer to have 1/4” jacks; XLR would be a nice bonus. USB; since Firewire is going away and Thunderbolt is too new.
    Any suggestions? I’m trying to keep this under $100. (Also, I know I can use multiple low-budget devices and aggregate them in Audio/Midi, but I do NOT want to go that route.)
    Thanks.

    As you imply, keeping it below $100 makes it tough.
    Generally only the two channel interfaces are close to $100.

  • Hard-drive and audio interface set-up - Advice please

    Hello,
    Please offer me some advice if you can. I have the new 13" macbook pro 2.26Ghz with Logic Studio. I am going to get a hard-drive that has both usb and firewire 800 interfaces and need to decide whether to get a usb or firewire audio interface. The crux of my problem is in what configuration to use the devices, which will determine which audio interface I choose. E.g.
    1. Firewire 800 hard-drive to record tracks onto and back-up + usb audio interface; or
    2. Firewire 800 hard-drive as above + firewire 400 audio interface daisy-chained; or
    3. Record onto the internal hard-drive and use a usb audio interface; or
    4. Record onto the internal hard-drive and use a firewire 400 interface.
    FYI, the audio interfaces I'm looking at are the E-Mu 0404 USB or Focusrite Saffire LE, both of which have had excellent reviews.
    Questions to consider, please, are: Which configuration will offer the best performance and least latency? Is it worth recording onto external hard-drive (7,200) or will the internal drive (5,200) be faster/as fast? Will daisy-chaining cause a significant drop in performance? Do you have any alternative configuration suggestions? Plus any other comments you can think of.
    Thank you in advance
    Jamie

    The good thing about #2, if the drive enclosure also has a USB 2.0 interface you have the option of using/trying that configuration as well. I know a few that get away with using USB drives for recording.
    Make sure the audio drive is formatted Mac OS Extended, with Journaling OFF.
    Don't trust the drive formatting as it's delivered.

  • Logic Pro X - How do I record my voice over existing tracks (via a mike and audio interface) without hearing those tracks on the speaker. I have headphones plugged into the interface but it doesn't stop in coming out of the speakers?

    Hi Kevin, what kind of audio interface do you have?

  • Using a camcorder to record video and an interface to capture the audio

    Here is what I am trying to do:
    Use my camcorder to record the video and use a mic connected to an audio interface to record the audio portion of the video.
    Here is how my set up looks like:
    I have an M-Audio firewire audio interface connected to my MacBook Pro. I have a mic connected to the interface, and I have a firewire cable connecting the camcorder to the interface.
    I am able to make this work using iSight but not with the camcorder.
    Recording with the camcorder works fine but the mic connected to the interface will not work. I can only hear the mic connected to the camcorder itself.
    Any suggestions?

    I've heard about an "internal software router", which claims to route different sound inputs to diff. apps...

  • Mics and audio interfaces that work with Camera Connector

    FYI: After playing with the Camera Connector I have been able to connect USB recording gear for use with MultiTrack DAW app on the iPad. The Blue Yeti, Samson's GTrack and Roland's Cakewalk Audio Interface all work for inputting audio. All three have internal headphone jacks which work for monitoring both the input and multitrack recordings.
    One caveat with the Yeti: it appears to be almost at the limit of the power that the iPad's USB Camera Connnector can supply. Some headphones and earbuds shut down the mic. Sennheiser HD280 phones work fine, but some of the Sennheiser buds don't.

    It has been reported before that a lot of USB audio devices (e.g., headsets, microphones). As an example see:

  • Firewire and audio interface problem, please help

    Hi all
    I'm not being lazy, i've spent hours trawling through forums and google trying to find a fix but cant so hope someone here can help.
    Basically, I've been using my Macbook for Logic Studio with an audio interface (Motu 8pre). This was connected via firewire 400 to firewire 400 and worked absolutely fine no problems.
    I've recently got a Mac Pro. I've installed Logic onto it, my Motu 8pre driver etc etc and noticed that the firewire socket on the Mac Pro is different. I've been on the Motu website and quite clearly they say that a firewire 400 to firewire 800 cable will work fine with modern macs (this can be seen in more detail at bottom right of this web page http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/8pre
    I've bought one of these cables and plugged them into my interface and Mac Pro respectively, switched on the device as i have been doing for the past year with my Macbook, but the MacPro just wont seem to recognise it.
    How can I get this interface to work with my Mac Pro?
    I've tried connecting to different ports on back and front, restarting machine but it just wont work.
    Am I missing something simple here?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance

    Ok its official I AM a muppet.
    Went onto motu site again and noticed they released an update driver for snow leopard. Downloaded it and it works fine.
    Fixed.
    Thanks

  • Recommendations for intel compatible midi and audio interfaces?

    Right now I'm looking for recommendations on a small and cheap midi interface that already has Universal drivers.
    Also, what audio interfaces are people using with intel macs? Who has drivers ready besides MOTU?

    I've got an m-audio firewire 410, which is supposed to be a compatable interface, but the midi doesn't seem to work at all and the headphone cue only works when you monitor the aux sends.
    -Know that even if you get one of the compatible interfaces, you may have to wait for a driver update before it functions at 100%.

  • New-MIDI and Audio Interface

    I am new to garageband but not new to the mac. I used to use Cakewalk on the PC for my sequencing about 15 years ago. I have a 12 powerbook 1.5. For MIDI I was looking at the MOTU FastLan. What about Audio? Can I use the line in on my laptop or do I need some kind of USB or Firewire interface?
    As the interface is USB fast enough or do we need firewire?

    If you are cash-strapped, you can use the line in on the Powerbook; however, you may need a preamp to boost the signal into the PB. I can use my electric guitar straight in, but a mic wouldn't work. I agree that you should probably just get a MIDI/Audio interface from the start, especially if you don't have any preamps of mixers laying around that can boost a signal. The consensus around here seems to be that Firewire works better overall and stresses that CPU less than USB. Lot's of people swear by the Tascam US-122 (USB) though. I'm saving for the M-Audio Firewire Audiophile or the Firewire Solo.

  • Will this setup run okay and audio interface advice please!

    Okay, please forgive me any stupid comments. I am merely a humble musician been thrown into the deep end by some friends looking for a sound tech for their show.
    Will all this play nice with each other in this setup?

    I don't yet have an audio interface. Any reccomendations and suggestions welcome. USB preferred, nothing flashy just something that does the job.
    Thank you!

    Hi
    For this to work, you would need to set up an Aggregate device using Audio MIDI Setup, and then to set Mainstage audio preferences to use this aggregate as the audio input device.
    You might do better to get an audio interface with more than 2 inputs?

  • Yamaha MO8 and Korg Volcas with Logic Pro X- recommendations for mixer and audio interface

    I plan to use Logic Pro X to access and configure the patch list for my Yamaha MO8 workstation. The Steinberg software I downloaded previously didn't work and never allowed me to configure the sounds. From what I've heard, I was told to use a cheap mixer or a Audio/MIDI interface (like the Scarlett 2i2 or 4i4). The Yamaha MO8 will be used as a master and has MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU. I also have the Korg Volca synths to use as slaves (they only have the MIDI IN port), and plan to connect them to the MIDI THRU on the keyboard. I already have the Yamaha USB driver installed, and the Mac recognizes the device. I also have the Portmidi app and wonder if that will allow me to see the patch list (with the actual names, not numbers).
    What mixer and audio/MIDI interface do you recommend to use the Yamaha MO8 and the Korg Volcas? Just to be clear, I don't want to use software synths, but would like to use the external instruments to get the audio (which I know can be selected through the Environment Panel on Logic Pro X).

    Anything with 2 audio inputs and 2 MIDI outs.
    -Out HP jack of Volca-1/8 to 1/4 adapter into Audio interface 1 (For any that are stereo use both 1 and 2 and use a Y splitter in addition to 1/8 to 1/4 adapters.
    -Midi out from interface to Midi in of volca (Or buy a USB to MIDI interface for about $35)
    -When starting up the volcas hold down the "Memory button" the LED will tell you what MIDI channel it is set to, you can change it if you wish)
    -Create external MIDI track and set it to the same channel as the Volca (Only if you want to do sequencing in the DAW, if thee Volca sequencer is handling it then not necessary)
    -Patch together the Volcas via the "synch out/Synch in" jacks to insure they are synched
    -Record them all together or one at a time, depending on how many simultaneous tracks your interface can handle.
