Any way to boost audio input when recording?

Hi; I have been recording speech interviews with Audio-Technica mics on a ProTools set-up and they've sounded great.
I've recently tried recording using the mics in Garageband using a M-Audio Mobile Pre USB, but the audio levels are always too low unless the subject is an inch or two from the mic, which isn't the best way to get quality audio.
Is there any way to boost the audio input when recording in GB or any other tricks people know of?
thx, Charlie

I'm actually having the same problem, except I'm recording straight into the computer (no interface).
I tried using an MBox, but the computer won't even recognize it...(if anyone's got suggestions for why that is, I'll gladly take them...).
My main question is the same as Charles's, however - how come the input level is so soft when recording using the "Built-In Input" (where I can use a mic, and have mobility) as opposed to the "Built-In Microphone"?

Same problem - happened after recent logic update.

Audio sync when recording downloaded

Hi, when I download a recording from the connect server as a flash file, the audio tends to get out of sync. Typically our recordings are around 1 - 2 hours long, so it can be quite annoying
Any hints on ways to avoid this, or software we can use to resync the audio?
Thanks heaps

I'd like to tag along on this thread, if I may. Our organization has just signed up on a monthly program with Connect 8 and I am also having A/V sync issues on downloaded programs. As with the issue described in the post from HavillandHornet, we are having problems holding sync in our downloaced .fv's of programs , which range in 15-30 minutes in length.
I understand that .flvs were, originally at least, not created to hold sync for long periods, although we get pretty good results when just playing back the recording off the Adobe server. It's just the playback of the downloaded file that gives us trouble I'm wondering if there is any way to set the download to record in a more sync-friendly format? I'm certainly not having much luck in converting the .flv to an editable format, like .mov to make sync adjustments and cleaner trims.
We began using Connect 8 around the first week of May, and the upgrades your indicated may not yet be operable. What is the status on that? Will those fixes affect the sync integrity on the recorded download or just the online playback.
Any enlightenment, work arounds or general bright ideas would be very helpful.

Any way to force audio to stay on HDMI?

Any way to force audio to stay on HDMI and not go back to Internal Speakers once the a/v receiver is off?
To explain what is happening in more detail I have a mac mini hooked up to my TV and my computer monitor using an HDMI Distribution Amplifier. This way I can use the mac on my tv or at my desk. For some reason when the TV is shut off or if I switch the source of my desktop monitor to something else. The mac will go back to internal speakers. Is there any way to prevent this? I am assuming this is happening becuase the mac is losing the handshake with the monitor when I switch my source. If that is the case is there anything I can get to put before my DA that will make my mac think that something is always there?
It would be more ideal if I can just permanently set the audio output to hdmi from within the mac itself though.

The only really effective solution requires buying a Gefen HDMI Detective Plus this 'spoofs' the HDMI signal so the Mac thinks it is still there even if the AV receiver is turned off, or disconnected, or switched away from the Mac.

Is there any way to differentiate between R12 gl records and 11I?

Hello all,
is there any way we can tell if a record is r12 or 11I aside from basing this on when we upgraded? We run reports that use reference_XX data from the g_je_lines table. The references have changed for R12 so we need to get the required data 2 different ways.
Thanks.

You can use je_header_id.
Since it is sequential, you can say je_header_id >= x is R12.

Any way to boost signal?

I just got my new mac pro set up with wireless keyboard and mouse. My excitement was diminished soon when my mouse dragging was very hindered. I searched the forums, and found out that the problem was caused by my steel desk- the computer is under it. (the only place for it). Is there any way of boosting or re-routing the signal. Again, I have no where else to put the computer, and would like to be able to use the wireless mouse.
Thanks

If you're using the external D-link adapter, all that's necessary is to obtain a USB extension cable and put the adapter closer to the mouse.
If you have the internal BT, you might wish to investigate to see if the D-link will work for you. The adapter isn't very expensive (roughly $50) but it's in the type of bubble-pack that requires blasting caps to open. Make certain that the retailer will allow you to return an opened package in case it doesn't work.

If you are one of the unlucky ones, your wires inside may not be connected correctly to the right terminal. There are many threads about whether one uses the wire labeled BT or #1 to connect to the Bluetooth module. You may want to test by using your mouse at the same level as your Mac Pro, some distance away from your steel desk. My BT Mighty Mouse is over 10 feet away, and it is discovered immediately by the MP. If you don't have that kind of range using direct line-of-sight, your wires may be mislabeled inside the MP.

Any way to control money input?

Is there any way to control money input, I mean for example
If someone inputs 12.52356 dollars I have to control it until the user inputs 2 digits after the decimal dot.

BTW using floating point numbers to represent money is not very accurate. You would be better to use whole numbers and then only convert to floating point when you want to display it. So for 12.87 you would actually use 1287 instead. Check out the following.
double dollars = 12.87;
double change = dollars - 4 * .45;
System.out.println(change);
int money = 1287;
int remainder = money - 4 * 45;
System.out.println(remainder / 100.00);Output:
11.0699999 - inaccurate
11.07 - accurate

Is there any way to emulate "nounix" option when mounting Samba fileshares?

I need to mount an SMB file share from a Linux server that I do not control. The server was recently upgraded to the new version of samba. With that change, the server now supports samba's new "unix extensions". The problem with this is when the file share is mounted on OS X, symbolic links show up broken because their paths are no longer valid (all details were previously posted in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8001291). Our environment makes heavy use of symbolic links, so they really need to work transparently.
I know the solution in the previous thread was to disable unix extensions on the server. That is not possible for me in this case. A little googling shows that some linux users (primarily Ubuntu it seems) have gotten around this by adding a "nounix" option to the mount command on the command line. Is there anything comparable in Leopard? Is there a key/value pair that is equivalent to "nounix" that I could use in nsmb.conf? Note that the share shows up just fine in windows because it is not capable of these wonderful new "unix extensions".
Thanks!

Is there any way to deauthorize 2 computers when I only have 3 authorized?
No.
I am worried there are other PC's I have used at friends houses which are authorized to play my content, which I dno't want.
Contrary to what it seems, Deauthorize all will not stop their iTunes from playing any of your purchases which may be on their computers.

Is there any way to boost a signal.

The television signal to each unit gets lost every hour for about 5 minutes, and the tech can't come back for 5 days according to the 800-Comcast. Is there any way to boost the signal in the mean time?

Yes, but if you select the wrong equipment, you could be adding to your issues or your neighbors.... it is best to let the onsite Tech make the determination of what equpment you need and he/she has available to install.

If you gave some information on what network equipment you are using (make, model, version) and where you are experiencing signal problems it would help in giving advice.

You can increase iTunes volume by choosing Show Equalizer, select the Preamp checkbox, and move the slider up.

Monitor audio input when NOT recording?

I've just bought my first mac along with Logic Studio in preperation for my Sound Technology university course in September. I'm used to using Logic 7 in college, so Logic 8's taking me some time to get used to. Basically, I'm trying to record a guitar part and can't figure out for the life of me how to monitor the audio input in realtime.
"Software Monitoring" is ticked in the core audio settings, and I can hear myself in realtime when I'm recording, but only when I'm recording. Also, the tuner is not picking up my guitar when not recording, however it does when I am recording.
Thanks for your help!

Is there any way of storing audio- / video-elements in the browser cache in Safari in iOS?

Hi there,
I'm desperatly trying to find a solution for a web application that has to run on an iOS-Safari (e.g. on iPad, iPad2 and iPhone 4):
It's a web-application I wrote some time ago which lets the user search for and listen to short music samples (MP3s, all from ~100 kB to ~1.5 MB). The audio player is Flash-based, so it doesn't work on iOS-devices at the moment and I'll have to implement an alternative either in HTML 5 or with a "direct" QuickTime-object.
Both my HTML 5- and QuickTime-alternatives for iOS-devices work fine so far, but there's one major problem I can't find a solution to:
Unlike Flash and most HTML 5-capable browsers on Windows Safari on my iPad 2 won't store the audiofiles in the browsercache after loading and playing them - neither with HTML 5 audio-tags nor with a QuickTime-Object. Every time I load an audio file for playback from the server (with JavaScript-Commands, so without changing or reloading the whole page) it's downloaded again completely.
If a user listens to sample A and then to sample B, Safari forgot about having played sample A and downloads the whole MP3 again if I like to listen to it again. On a mobile device with a potentially narrow bandwith this behaviour is out of the question.
Is there a way of storing downloaded audiofiles opened by HTML 5 or QuickTime in Safari's cache so it remembers already having downloaded them - like it caches usual "web-files" like HTML, CSS or JPEG-images, or like Flash stores such objects in its local cache?
The Application Cache with a manifest-file is not an option - this only seems to work if the browser is offline, for example if the iOS-device is in "Airplane"-Mode.

Yes, I watched it. It contains interesting stuff I have to admit I didn't know yet, but unfortunately I still can't find a solution to my problem:
My first attempt was trying to use the Application Cache with a manifest file - although this is not really the intended purpose for my application... I don't have a static set of files that I want to have cached or "available offline" - I just want to cache MP3s which the user has played yet.
It should be possible to use a "dynamic manifest": One that is parsed by the Apache PHP module and listing the files played so far from a PHP session - something like this:
<?php
session_start();
header("Content-Type: text/cache-manifest, charset=UTF-8");
echo "CACHE MANIFEST\n";
foreach($_SESSION['playedSongs'] as $song)
    echo $song."\n";
?>
So whenever a song is loaded / played, I could access the PHP session with AJAX, insert the filename of the played file and manually update the manifest by calling window.applicationCache.update().
There are two problems with this:
First of all: It doesn't work. And I didn't even get to the point of trying to use a dynamic manifest:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html manifest="cache.manifest">
    <head>
        <title>Test</title>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        function playStuff(id)
            if(id == 1)
                window.document.getElementById("audio").innerHTML = '<audio controls preload="automatic" autobuffer><source src="song01.mp3" type="audio/mp3" /></audio>';
            else if(id == 2)
                window.document.getElementById("audio").innerHTML = '<audio controls preload="automatic" autobuffer><source src="song02.mp3" type="audio/mp3" /></audio>';
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="audio"></div><br />
        <br />
        <input type="button" value="playStuff(1)" onclick="playStuff(1)" />
        <input type="button" value="playStuff(2)" onclick="playStuff(2)" />
    </body>
</html>
The cache.manifest looks like this:
CACHE MANIFEST
song01.mp3
song02.mp3
and is properly returned from Apache as "text/cache-manifest" by adding
AddType text/cache-manifest manifest
to the .htaccess of this directory.
The Apache-logs clearly show that the Safari (respectively "AppleCoreMedia") doesn't care about the application cache when it comes to audio-files:
Safari itself seems to acknowledge the manifest and indeed preload the files:

Every file is downloaded again completely when playing it. So "AppleCoreMedia" (whatever this may be exactly, the QuickTime-plugin that is triggered by the HTML 5 audio-element I suppose?) either doesn't have access to the Application Cache or simply just doesn't realize the files in it. So if I switch my iPad to "Airplane Mode" now, the Safari is unable to access / load / play the files.
I also tried using a QuickTime-object instead of an HTML 5 audio-tag (as far as I know HTML 5 audio and video in Safari always use QuickTime?) and controlling it with something like:
document.movie1.SetURL('song02.mp3');
Nothing changes, it's just like using HTML 5 audio and everything gets downloaded again when loading/playing it.
And even if this would work there'd still be a problem:
To properly implement that I would have to load the MP3-file in the Application Cache before playing it. When doing this it seems impossible to show a "real" progress: The ProgressEvent that is fired from the Application Cache after updating it doesn't seem to provide any information about data loaded so far and the complete size of a file. It's just "File 1 from 2" and so on, and not a "real" progress where I could determine something like: "100 kB of 1.2 MB loaded" as I can with the audio-element.
All the other storage-approaches like Web SQL / Web Database or Local Storage are no help either:
I don't see any way of getting the MP3 data into Local Storage or Web Database or getting it out again to play it. The HTML 5 Canvas-element has a toDataURL()-function to produce a Base64-encoded representation and use it for storage - the Audio-element doesn't seem to have anything like this.
My last really "dirty" approach was trying to load "manually" Base64-encoded-MP3s with a combination of AJAX and PHP: A PHP-script outputs a Base64-representation of a MP3-file and is loaded by AJAX, so I could store the Base64-representation e.g. as Local Storage or in Web Database:
<?php
$infile = 'song01.mp3';
$contents = file_get_contents($infile);
$base64 = base64_encode($contents);
$audio = 'data:audio/mp3;base64,'.$base64.'';
echo $audio;
?>
I tried using the resulting AJAX responseText as the source-argument in an audio-source-tag. Suprise: It doesn't work in Safari on my iPad 2, the player just fails to load the "file", although this works fine in Chrome on Windows. Possibly a size limitation for Base64-URIs on Safari / iOS.
And again: Even if this was working in iOS/Safari I don't know of a way to determine a real progress from an AJAX-query...
The last thing I could think of is not replacing the audio- or source-tags when loading a song but leaving them in the DOM-structure, check if it's already there when a song is loaded and just add a new audio-tag if a song hasn't been loaded yet.
This solution would be my last resort: I'd have to rewrite nearly the whole application to completely operate on JavaScript / AJAX to stay on one site in the browser - else the "cached" audio data would be lost again when changing to another site in Safari.
Furthermore I think there'll be a small cache limit somewhere when doing this?
Any ideas?

How do I make my audio better when recording videos?

what is the best way to enhance audio on videos I make with my iPhone 4?

      Thanks, Bobby
     All good advice.
     I went and checked out the link you provided, and started salivating immediately. But $200 is too much for me right now. Looked at the lav (what does that mean?) mic adjacent to it-- lovely, very portable, and almost affordable. I registered, and created a wish list. I think my wedding anniversary or something must be coming up soon...
       I was thinking about my barely-there audio today, and just for the fun of it checked my volume button. I NEVER turn it down. Never. But it was, by about half. Does this have any effect on recording, or just ringing? (Can you tell I'm almost totally techno-ignorant?)
       Something else occurred to me too. When I was shooting, twice so far (and I am cringing writing this), I was talking really low the whole time. Last night, cuz my hubby was asleep in the next room; this morning, because I didn't want to scare the birds I was videoing away...   uh.....   Well, DUH.
       Actually, I have already bought one of those little capsule mics, found it on Amazon. IT WON'T FIT ON MY PHONE WHILE THE CASE IS ON. And I am scared to death to take the case off! The thing's made out of glass, for cripes sake, and I am a CLUTZ.
       Thanks again!! I'll be coming up with plenty more stupid questions for quite a while, I'm sure

Any way to boost audio input when recording?
