Audio recording length

i have a maximum audio record length of 15 minutes...how do i increase and or change this???

You'll find that even with "Maximum Record Time" set to off, the recording will still stop around 70 minutes ish. If you slow the tempo of the session down you will obtain longer record time.
This is essential when recording a long live performance like a gig or something where you don't KNOW exactly how long it's gonna be.

Maximum Multitrack Audio Recording Length

Hi there..
I'ld like to know about the Maximum Multitrack Audio recording length of LE.
For Cubase software,the Multitrack Audio Recording Length is depends on the capacity of our H.Disk...but for GarageBand the Recording Length is limited by adjusting the Measure and Tempoh to the lower tempoh....
May i know how about LE?is it posible to set the Recording Length up to 5 Hours even 8 Hours??
thanks...
Ray

This is correct, but it doesn't actually give you an ENDLESS amount of recording time.
The time is still dictated by logic, it seems to be linked to a certain number of bars. So therefore by setting the tempo really low, as the original poster said you can get a very long time out of it. I'm not sure how long this would equate to.
Once before I transferred a minidisk to cd for a friend I remember it stopped recording at about 70 mins ish, and that was set to the default of 120 BPM. So I would expect somewhere in the region of 4 times this length if setting the tempo to 30 BPM. The minimum tempo you can set logic to work at is 5 BPM, this would equal roughly 1680 minutes or 28 Hours. But whether or not it would actually happen or not is a different matter, and bare in mind these are rough maths done from a distant memory of a rough figure.
But hope that helps.

Set audio record path

setting audio record path?

Let me guess - your tempo's set to 120 and 4/4 time, right?
The limit is on the number of quarter notes Logic can handle (8550).
Set your song length to max (2158), reduce your tempo, and/or adjust your time signature. Example, temp 60, 4/8 time will give you 2hrs 22minutes of recording.
good luck

CP5 Audio Record to...

The documentation is not clear, but it seems that regardless which of the three recording options I choose (slide/slides/background) it is not possible to 'change slides' while recording.
What I'm trying to do is add audio (narration) for a presentation which has a number of slides. I'd like to start recording while I am looking at a given slide, continue recording and advance to the next slide. The audio editing function allows you to move 'slide markers' around if you have a large audio file and you are trying to match slides up to it (which, I guess is fine if you are creating the source audio) but it's not very helpful if I'm creating the audio.
As an example, from PowerPoint I can Slideshow > Record Narration and start the slideshow and record and advance through the slides and record my whole presentation, without interruption. At then end (if I chose 'linked' at the onset) when I save it it will create separate audio files for each slide.
I'd rather not have to do this from PPT first, then do more importing into CP5 and dragging and dropping audio files from the library onto the relevant slides (that's another gripe: there seems to be no easy way to drag 30 audio files onto 30 slides without doing each one individually)
Anyone got an idea of how I do this?
Thanks in advance.

I'm kinda replying to my own message as well (I'm also DoubleDawgg. Somehow my personal and work accounts got crossed/meshed?)
I will have to take back what I said earlier about the new functionality of recording over several slides at once. Turns out it's even better than before, or at least from v3.
Joseph is correct about the documentation being non-existent (I couldn't find anything either) or unclear for this subject. I clicked all the buttons and check boxes eventually and found the "trick".
On the main menu click Audio > Record to > Slides.
Select the slide numbers to record from and to. Click OK.
You should now be on the Add/Replace tab for this screen.
I usually check the SWF Preview box (I wish there was a default for this) so I can see the slides I'm recording to. This in the middle right of the screen.
Here's the gotcha: Check the Continuous Play box. This is in the middle left of this screen.
Checking the Continuous Play box should leave your slide timing intact and record your narration over the slides you selected.
If you don't check this box, the narration only gets recorded to the first slide and pushes the timing of that one slide to accommodate the length of the narration.
So, that makes it like it was in v3. Here's how it's even better:
At the top of the screen, click on the Edit tab.
This should show your narration AND the slide timings for just the slides you selected.
From here, you can adjust the slide timing to better match your narration if needed.
You can also do any other audio editing needed here without leaving this screen.
You could adjust slide timing with your audio in v3 but you had to load all the slides for the whole project by going to Audio > Edit Timing > Project.
Nice improvement if you do a lot of voice-overs. Documentation just needs to be better.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

16 bit 48Khz audio recording on iPhone?

I am looking for an audio recording App that records audio in 16bit 48Khz quality. Does anyone know if it is possible, if so, what App does it?
All the Apps I have seen to record Audio only go up to 44.1Khz.
I thought I saw one somewhere that did it, but I can't find it now.
Cheers,

You need to change the length of the song sections and turn on "automatic" for your recording, see this Help page: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chs3c3ef5dc
Change the length of a section
Open the song section controls and tap the section you want to change.
Tap the up or down arrow next to Manual to lengthen or shorten the section incrementally by bars. You can swipe vertically to change it in larger values.
If you want the section to match the length of your next recording (to the nearest bar), turn on Automatic before you record. This is especially useful when recording improvisations or longer parts. The Automatic option is available only for the last (rightmost) section in a song.
Tap anywhere in Tracks view to close the song section controls.
When you shorten a section, any regions extending past the end of the section are shortened. When you lengthen a section, all regions that extend from the beginning to the end of the section now loop to the new end of the section. A section can be any number of bars, and the overall song can be up to 320 bars long.

Audio, recorded separately, strays from sync

Hello,
I have three sources of media that I'm using in my project, which is a recording of a gig that my band played:
- Sony AVCHD video camera (front view), includes one video and a stereo pair
- Sony AVCHD video camera (side view), includes one video and a stereo pair
- three tracks of audio that were recorded using a separate multitrack audio recorder (Zoom R16).
I've figured out how to sync the sources together - I set an in point on a distinct piece of audio that exists in all three sources (actually it's someone coughing, I didn't think to have the drummer clap his sticks together before we started). Then I set an in point in the sequence, edited in the three sources, and adjusted the in points of the clips forward to the beginning of the set. At that point where the clips were matched up, the sources are perfectly in sync.
However, within 30 seconds before or after the sync point, some drift is evident in the audio that was captured on the R16. And a few minutes out, it's seconds off. I capture these gigs one set at a time, so we're talking about clips that are an hour long (we usually do two or three sets).
I didn't pay much attention to the detailed settings of the audio recorder before I captured the gig. Actually, I recall that the basic marketing/quickstart tutorials on the Apple website say you can pretty much use any video or audio in a single project in FCE and it would convert/transcode for you as necessary.
Had a look at the clip properties, and I see that the audio captured in the cameras is 48.0 KHz, while the R16 captured the audio at 44.1 KHz. If I'd noticed the difference beforehand I would have changed the R16's settings to match, just to be thorough - but I am a little disappointed - I'd thought that there would be compensation for differences like these... this is digital!
Could this difference in the sample rates be the problem? Regardless, can anyone suggest how I might be able to resample or convert the audio so that it doesn't drift like this?
Thanks much in advance, and cheers.

Hmmm ... honestly .... I am running out of ideas ...
Can I ask:
1. did you get both their starting point correct ?
2. Are the duration of both the video clips & audio clips you are trying to sync the same length ? That is, if the audio is 10 secs, then is the video also 10 secs ?
Thanks
Hey -
1. Yes, I'm certain that I matched up the in points correctly while making the edits. In the audio tracks, I zoomed in all the way so I could get sub-frame position - as described starting on pg 474 of the manual. At that point, they are in perfect sync. And as you get further away from that matched point in the sequence, the drift gets worse.
2. The length of the audio that was recorded on the cameras is exactly the same length as the video (of course). The audio clips recorded on the R16 are all exactly the same length as each other as well.
However the R16 clips are not the same length as the video clips, and the two videos are not the same length as each other. They are a few seconds different from each other, because of the way I start the recording - I step onto the stage and before we start playing, I use the infrared remote to start the recording on each of the cameras one at a time, and then I start the recording on the R16.
I don't actually know how exact clip lengths from separate recording sources could be achieved, and since I'm editing them in separately, I think it shouldn't make a different. The keyword being "shouldn't", of course. In any case, if you extend the clips all the way out to play all the available media in the track (using up all the handles), the extents of the clips in the tracks appear a few seconds different from each other, as they should.
Thanks for your suggestions, I'll keep trying to come up with something. Feel free to suggest other things you think of, I do appreciate your time and help.
I have run out of ideas ... Anyone here can help ?

Audio recording - prompts after every slide?

This question concerns the prompt box that appears after
recording audio for a slide. Basically, if the audio track is
longer than the slide length, you are prompted on how to handle
this after each slide. Is there a universal setting for this so
that we are not prompted after each slide? Or do you have to
increase the slide length before each audio recording to avoid this
issue? Either way, this is a time constraint. Thanks in advance for
any insight you may offer on these topics.

Hi stunamistyle
There is no setting I'm aware of for this. What you see is
what you get.
Cheers... Rick

Audio recording (wav) isn't streamable?

Hi dear all,
With WTK22, I am doing audio recording to wav format at client and send it to server by stream. I found out that client will not send any data out until it finish recording by recordControl.commit.
Am I doing something wrong or that's the fact?
I read from Sun (See below) wav audio format is not streamable since some fields in the header can only be filled when finish recording.
If I want to have the realtime (nearly) audio, what should I do?
----------------Here is from Sun.com---
Non-streamable format
An example of a non-streamable format would be a WAVE audio format or a
Quicktime video format. These files have a header. Some of the fields in the header cannot be computed until the recording is complete. After recording is complete, a seek back into the recording is typically required before the header fields can be updated. This means that local storage is required for buffering the recorded data. This also means that the recorded data is available only after the recording is complete.
Here is the code.
try {
     // Create a DataSource that captures live audio.
     p = Manager.createPlayer("capture://audio");
     p.realize();
    // Get the RecordControl, set the record location, and
    // start the Player and record for 5 seconds.
    rc = (RecordControl)p.getControl("RecordControl");
     rc.setRecordStream(outputStream);
    debugInfo("Set record to out stream");
    rc.startRecord();
     p.start();
     try {
          Thread.currentThread().sleep(5000);
     } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
} catch (IOException ioe) {
     ioe.printStackTrace();
} catch (MediaException me) {
     me.printStackTrace();
//stopRecorder();Any suggestions, hint will be appreciated.

unfortunly
I decomplied the file RecordCtrl (the implementation of the RecordControl control ) to check this case too
i found that the class buffers all the data before it begins to send any single byte.
the only solution i find are :
1) to do a series of startRecord() / commit() calls on a small time base
2) to find some way to override the method
      public void record(byte buf[], int offset, int length)
to have only this line
{stream.write(buff, offset, length);}
instead of all the lines in it
beside making your own OutputStream class that accepts the coming data....
well
the problem is
how to override that method !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am in this problem nowadays
can any body help me regarding this ?!!!
thank you in advance

Zen Micro Audio Recording Opt

I'm shopping around for a digital music player. I noticed that the Zen Micro has an audio recording option, which will supposedly record up to 0 hours, is that correct? I was wondering if this recording would save as a file I could transfer to my computer or if I must listen to it on the device. Also, I think I read that the largest (data?) file size that can be held on the player is 2GB. Would this apply to a maximum-length recording? How big of a file would that be? Also, do audiobooks fit on the Micro? And the same questions apply to recordings taken from the radio.
Thank you!
Amber

I concur with college boy, additionally the voice recorder is surprisingly good quality, but the FM reciever gets, like all of the small portables I've owned, inconsistant to poor reception. This may be due to my location as I have seen posts on this forum claiming excellent reception. Either way, I doubt the recordings are anywhere near the quality you would get from downloading from your computer.
I have transfered several audio books from cd>computer>micro, and because the files from audio discs is usually encoded at a very low bit-rate 64kb or even less, they take up very little space on the micro.
One caution about audio books is that the tagging is usually very simple ie. "track 0, 02, etc so that with multi-disc books, which most are, you will either have to load one disc at a time and delete it when you are finished, or rename the tracks on discs subsequent to disc one or the new disc will replace the old one. When renaming tracks on second and third etc discs use two letters and three numbers.
For example: For John Grisham's--King of Torts, I named the tracks KT00, KT002 etc.
Audio discs are a nice complement to the music by the way. I get tired of tunes after a couple of hours and enjoy listening to a story for awhile. I listen to "Car Talk" and "A Prarrie Home Companion" on NPR on weekends.

How to load unicode data files with fixed records lengths?

Implementing these two alternatives in OWB, I encounter the following problems:
* How to specify LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR?
* How to suppress the POSITION definition?
* How to define a flat file with variable length and how to specify the number of bytes containing the length definition?
Or is there another way that can be implemented using OWB?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi Carsten
If you need to support the LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR clause in an external table then one option is to use the unbound external table and capture the access parameters manually. To create an unbound external table you can skip the selection of a base file in the external table wizard. Then when the external table is edited you will get an Access Parameters tab where you can define the parameters. In 11gR2 the File to Oracle external table can also add this clause via an option.

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.
