Audio recording capability

So, why can't I find more about the vpod's audio recording ability? Seems this capability will make it a must have tool for podcasting, news reporting, musicians, etc. Apple seems to barely mention it. Is it for real? How can I plug in my mic? How about battery life while recording? Is it time to give up my minidisc recorder?

From the manual, hope it helps:
Recording Voice Memos
You can record voice memos using an optional iPod-compatible microphone (available for purchase at www.apple.com/ipodstore). You can store voice memos on your iPod and load them on your computer. You can set iPod to record at Mono quality (22 kHz, mono) to save space, or Stereo quality (44.1 kHz, stereo) for a better sound.
To record a voice memo:
1 Connect a microphone to the Dock connector port on your iPod.
2 Set Quality to Mono or Stereo.
3 To begin recording, choose Record.
4 Hold the microphone a few inches from your mouth and speak. To pause recording, select Pause.
5 When you finish, select Stop and Save. Your saved recording is listed by date and time.

Stereo audio recorder AAC 128+ Kbps for N8?

Is there a high quality stereo audio recorder available for N8?
The in-built app can only record at highest of 64kbps.
I'm looking for one with at least stereo 128kbps capability.
Thanks a lot!

Im also very surpriced that high quality stereo recording isnt availible in the default recorder, as a musician i would have very good use of it recording rehearsals. The sound is pretty good in video recording.
As it is now it is actually fairly good for being mono (but ooh so 60`s ) and not so 2011 ) and stereo recording adds alot to the separation as well as the enjoyment of a recording.
I havent yet been able to find an app for this.
Please Nokia or someone else that have the skill, help us out with this !

IMac Optimization for Audio Recording

Good Afternoon iMac Community,
I recently made the switch to the new intel based iMac and tried my best to load it up in preparation for doing some intensive audio processing. Specs of my Imac are 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo, 4GB RAM, and 320 HD. Was wondering if anyone had any links or sugestions that could help with optimizing my iMac for audio recording? Maybe things like disabling the internet capability and or losing all the internal sounds and etc.
When I am running Logic and Reason together I hear a skip when the loop comes back around and it is all off beat. My DAW audio interface is a Tascam FW1884 and is fairly decent when it comes to latency. I may need to adjust the latency parameters a bit though. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Disabling the internet capability and concerning yourself with the built in sounds will make no noticeable difference. I have been running audio on Macs since the very first version of Cubase VST on a PowerMac 7100, and those things haven't got in the way.
Optimizing your system for audio would for me include an external drive with a Firewire800 connection (assuming you have one if it's newish!) for the majority of your recording. Seriously reduces system disk fragmentation. I would (and did) get a de-fragmentation program. I use iDefrag. It is very thorough, although not super fast.
http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php
As for your problem with Logic and Reason, I would try the Logic forum with details of which version of Logic and Reason etc. Your fine Tascam interface will not be responsible for the loop problems. It is the 'communication' between Logic and Reason. I don't and haven't used Reason (not my bag) so can't help you as much as maybe others.

Lumia 925 Audio recording stopped

My Lumia 925 audio recording has stopped working. Not working for Video surround sound recording and even WhatsApp sound recorded messages cannot go. Just hissss sound gets recorded. Can any help how to restore this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

well, since people can hear you on a call, it's not a hardware problem with the microphone.
It appears to be something wrong with your recording apps -- the camera (in the case of video) and whatsapp.
First attempt would be to:
a) install another camera app with video capability and see if IT will record audio. and
b) uninstall and reinstall whatsapp to see if that fixes the problem.
If that doesn't work, to a backup, then try a hard reset and re-install the apps one by one, confirming that recording works after each install.

No Direct Audio Recording With Quicktime

Could someone please help me to troubleshoot this Quicktime audio problem? Running 10.8.2. When I try to do screen recording it doesn't record the audio section. I do not want to use the mic but record what is going throught the speakers. I read somewhere that Quicktime can't do this but that is silly for a company like Apple not to include audio recording, when many other screen capture programs easily do. Am I missing a patch or update of some kind? Would adding Soundflower fix this issue?

Is there a link to do this?
Here is the general link to the Apple Product Feedback page listing products: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Here is the link to the QT Product Feedback Form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/quicktime.html
The way Quicktime is now, it is worthless (screen capture wise) unless you want to capture a Charlie Chaplin movie...
Than mab be the point. (I.e., they may not want you to be capable of copying movies playing on you screen.)

Captivate 4/Windows 7 no Audio recording

We have used Macromedia Captivate for many years and have recently been considering moving to Captivate 4. Most of what we do is pretty simple but we do plan to start using some features such as adding audio to our tutorials. Unfortunately, what we have discovered is that Cap4 and Win7 don't play well together, so we may need to consider some other product for our 300 plus users.
Any suggestions as to how to resolve the problem would be appreciated. We have tried the basic things of running in Windows XP/SP2, and logging in with administrator rights. We'd rather not have to change horses at this stage, and Captivate is pretty widely acknowledged as the best product in this field, but if it doesn't work there isn't much point in investing that much money to upgrade.
FYI - I have loaded the demo version of eLearning Suite so I tested the recording capability of Soundbooth and that worked just fine. That tells me the problem is not with the hardware and probably not permissions.

I got it working with Win7 Home Edition, however you may need some patience to know the details since I'm abroad on a business trip and I can only check my settings by next Sunday earliest.
I don't remember having done something special for the audio, IIRC Windows Update got it right from the beginning, but it was a while ago... my memory is not what is used to be...

How can I copy an audio recording in Skype?

I have an audio recording of one of my contacts on Skype.
Can you tell me if there is a way to copy this recording to my hard drive and if so how?
Can I do it with MP3 Skype Recorder 4.11 and if so how? Where would it be recorded to if I can do it this way?
Any help with this will be really appreciated
HB

I already have a Skype recorder for any incoming or outgoing Skype or telephone calls. I use MP3 Skype Recorder for that. What I'm trying to achieve is different.
I have an existing voicemail message in Skype itself from one of my Skype contacts. It is this voicemail message that I want to save to my hard drive somewhere so there is no chance of me losing it in Skype itself.
I right clicked on the recording and there is an option in the context menu to 'Copy Message.' I clicked on this but I don't know where to save it to on my hard drive so I can play it whenever I want from there as a file.
I would also like to know if there is any way to change this voicemail message to another file format to play on my hard drive.
Can anybody help me with this scenario please?
Thanks

How do I fix bad Quality audio recording in Captivate 4

I am having trouble recording decent quality audio in Captivate 4.
What is happening is after I do the screen and audio recording when I play it back the audio is choppy.
It also kind of sounds like the audio is quickly echoed and then clipped.
Finally this clipping and choppiness seems random when it happens.
I tested this by recording 5 minutes of the demonstration (which recorded with only 1 glitch in the beginning).
When I just recorded the second half when I played it back in Captivate it was very choppy again throughout the audio making the complete session unusable.
I am doing full motion recording of an application at 1024x768. I have tried all audio recording bitrates and have even gone up to 128kbps 16bit mp3.
I am using a high quality Audio-Technica AT2020 USB microphone.
I am running Windows Vista Service pack 2 fully updated with 4GB of memory on an Intel xeon W3503 2.4Ghz in 64 bit mode.
I have installed the latest patch update http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/downloads.html 4.4.0.1 hoping that it waould solve the audio bugs to no avail.
Please let me know what else I may need to do to get Captivate 4 working like it should.
Are there any other settings or tests I should perform to get audio recording working.
Why would I even want to pay for Captivate 5 if Captivate 4 has worked so randomly for me.
Using 3rd party software like Audacity and even Adobe Soundbooth seems absurd when Captivate has audio recording built in.
For the time being I have gone back to Camtasia on another system because it actually seems to work but need to get Captivate working on my own system.

Try "Rapid Recorder" from store....it works well.

Why doesn't Apple supply a simple audio recording app with the iPad? (Garage Band is not simple app)

I am going to be teaching an integrated media production course in the spring semester (creating an online college newspaper) and I want the students to use mini iPads to create images, videos and sound clips. Images and video, no problem. Easy to move to our iMacs in the lab for editing and inclusion in a college newspaper web site. On the other hand, audio is a mess. Sure, I can have them shoot video, import the video into Final Cut on the iMacs and then use Final Cut like an audio editor, but that is pretty lame. They could download Garage Band but that would require all the students to have iTunes accounts, which is a real pain. And moving audio recording made with Garage Band to the iMac is a real drag and way too much work. Why the **** can't Apple include a simple audio memo program in the basic iPad app setup? This is really old school stuff that was on computers way back when. Using Garage Band for that simple function is like swatting flies with a sledge hammer.

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?     Elements 13 on Windows 7
What is the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded these videos?        ony PMW 320
When you import them into your Premiere Elements project, what does Premiere Elements Properties for that import give for
the audio description in the way of number of channels? If you open the Audio Meter (Window Menu/Audio Meters) and you play back
the video in the Premiere Elements Editor, how many channels does the Audio Meter display?
I just drag and drop video and when playing back only channel 1 will appear
What is your intended export for this video in terms of audio as well as video compression and formats?    MP4
I think you can only use audio if it's recorded on channel 1 or it does not recognize it.
Thanks for the help if possible,Kevin416 873 8374

Audio recording no longer works in Cap5 -- Ideas?

I created a presentation and recorded audio in multiple ways (Audio -- record to -- slide) (Audio icon in task bar).
Yesterday, I opened Captivate and these two options no longer worked. I don't mean that I cannot record. I mean that I cannot reach the screen in the software that allows you to record.
Recording in general works fine -- I can record to Audacity. So it's not a Windows (XP) problem or an input problem or a hardware problem.
Everything else works in Captivate.
Audio from previously recorded slides plays. I just cannot record. After using either option above, Captivate freezes and I need to click Esc to unlock.
I know, that's weird. If you don't believe me, look here. Let me know if you see me doing anything wrong while you're at it.
http://screencast.com/t/0fsLsR5Lh
So, I did what anyone faced with a weird isolated software problem would do. I reinstalled Captivate. Today, same problem.
HELP? Any ideas? I'm making final edits on my project, there is a deadline, etc. etc.

First thing to try is clearing the Cache using the button in Preferences.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, you can try closing down Captivate and deleting the Preferences folder itself.
On Xp it's located at: C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Captivate 5
Captivate will recreate this folder next time it starts up, but any Preference settings you've made will be lost.
Also, make sure you've installed all updates and patches.

External Hard Drive and Audio Recording Application

Hi, hope everyone is doing well today. I'm new to this forum but I have been occasionally browsing it from time to time and find it very useful. So I figured I would post a couple questions that I have.
First of all I would like to tell you all excatly what I want to do with my computer. Currently I am trying to optimize my computer for the Audio Recording Application I have *Cubase SX 3* I recently just upgraded my RAM from 512 KB to 1.5 GB. My next purchased is most definitaly going to be an external hard drive, which leads me to my first question.
1. If someone could recomend me an external hard drive that is abosolutly amazing for audio recording and such around $150. I would ONLY be using the drive to save my audio files. Definitaly needs to be firewire also.
2. Next question is. I've heard of people booting from their external hard drives which has nothing but there OS and there audio recording application. That way when they boot it up they don't have processes running "Behind the scenes" and taking up some processor power. Is this true? If so, how would you going about doing this and what would I need?
3. If anybody else that is reading this is like me and does alot of audio editing on their iMac G5 computer if you could give me some tips in optimizing the performance of the computer in order to get the most out of it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time everyone.

iMac G5 w/o iSight Mac OS X (10.4.4) 20" screen 2.0 Ghz, 1.5 RAM, 250GB Hard Drive

1. If someone could recomend me an external hard
drive that is abosolutly amazing for audio recording
and such around $150. I would ONLY be using the
drive to save my audio files. Definitaly needs to be
firewire also.
Hard drives are pretty much the same. 7200 rpm are obviously a bit faster than 5400rpm. Why Firewire? USB 2 is about the same speed as standard Firewire 400, but the drives are cheaper.
2. Next question is. I've heard of people booting
from their external hard drives which has nothing but
there OS and there audio recording application. That
way when they boot it up they don't have processes
running "Behind the scenes" and taking up some
processor power. Is this true? If so, how would you
going about doing this and what would I need?
OS processes are going to be running in the background regardless of which disk the OS is on, that's what an OS does! If you don't want more processes simply make sure you don't have any other apps open. I don't know Cubase, but a G5 will handle video editing along with background tasks no problem, and video editing generally involves far more data manipulation than just sound, even if you're doing multiple tracks.
You can easily install the OS on an external hard drive using your original system install disk. Simply connect the drive and choose that as the destination in the installer. To boot from that you would choose it in System preferences/Startup Disk. You could minimise that system by deleting other applications from that drive's Applications folder, turning off internet connections, disabling all widgets etc, but as long as you only have Cubase open it shouldn't make too much difference.
3. If anybody else that is reading this is like me
and does alot of audio editing on their iMac G5
computer if you could give me some tips in optimizing
the performance of the computer in order to get the
most out of it.
There's not really much else to optimise. Modern Macs are not like computers of old, and OS X is a very modern system, not requiring the type of disk optimisation etc that there used to be.

Hi,
I tried to log in to iCloud but a message appears telling me I "can't sign in because my account was disabled for security reasons....reset password at iforgot.apple.com". I don't know why this happened.
I reset both my Apple ID and password.
When I tap Settings iCloud is listed on the left side between General and Mail, Contacts etc.
Tapping iCloud brings up a log in screen for iCloud which shows my old Apple ID and requests the password. If I put the password in I get the message as above.
If I use the new Apple ID/Password I get the message "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated....
In settings there is no option to "Delete Account"
Any suggestions??
