Audio Recording Software. Quicktime Pro?

Good day to you. I'm just curious about something.
I've been looking for an cost-effective way to record audio on my PC.
Does QuickTime Pro allow you to record audio using a microphone that's plugged into your computer?
Oh, I should also mention I do not have an Apple computer. I run a custom built Win7 PC.
Thank you very much for your time and reponse!

Very cool. Thank you very much.
While I'm at it, I'm not planning on like a podcast or anything but, is there a good mic you would reccomend? If any? Or would any run of the mill Logitech headset w/ mic would be sufficient?

Audio Recording on Quicktime Pro

I recently purchased a new I Mac.
I would like to convert a bunch of old audio tapes from both Cassette and DAT to make WAV files, so I can burn them on to CDs. My DAT machine has optical output, so I purchased the TOSLINK optical cable for the optical input on my Mac.
Before I go ahead and purchase QT Pro, I want to be certain that I can perform this task for sure. IS QT Pro capable of recording audio from a DAT machine?
Thank you. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Mike

Is Logic Pro the Best Audio Recording Software for Mac?

Couple questions. I do a lot of audio production and work currently. I use a gateway with Cubase, and its not bad, but I feel like I need something mroe high end.
I'm looking at the 17 inch Imac. Does anyone record using this computer? How's it sound? Is there any way to put in a new soundcard or something if i don't like the current one?
Secondly, is logic pro the most advanced and best audio recording software for the mac? Are there others as well?
I know about Pro Tools, but it seems like there isn't anything high end enough that is TOO high end.
Does the Pro version have superior mixing capabilties. I am primarily going to be micing a guitar amp and having a mixer run into a firewire port, and also using a preamp for my guitar direct into the computers USB.
Lastly, how are the mixing features on Logic Pro vs. Logic Express? I do a lot of post production mixing as well, and use VST plugins. Speaking of that, will it accomodate using a drum program like BFD through VST or Midi like Cubase will?
Thanks for your time guys.

Yes, you do indeed need sth more high end.

like the current one?
It's not an iMac, but a faithful PowerBook G4 that I am using. Apples Core Audio is awesome. Your sound, however, will depend on your interface.
Secondly, is logic pro the most advanced and best
audio recording software for the mac? Are there
others as well?
That's why we are here, and that's why you ended up in this forum as well
To me personally, Logic sounds warmer and bigger than any ProTools system I've ever heard. From what yopu described as the work you need to do, there is no comparable application. Logic also offers you many more features above and beyond what you currently need to do.
I know about Pro Tools, but it seems like there isn't
anything high end enough that is TOO high end.
Everybody is using PT, and you should maybe get a Light Edition version of it. However, as stated above, Logic offers by far more possibilities.

For your purpose, Logic does have superior mixing capabilities. In my humble opinion, only the popularity of PT made it become the choice of studios and engineers, but things are turning...
Lastly, how are the mixing features on Logic Pro vs.
Logic Express? I do a lot of post production mixing
as well, and use VST plugins. Speaking of that, will
it accomodate using a drum program like BFD through
VST or Midi like Cubase will?
If you do post production mixing, forget about Logic Express altogether and go for Logic Pro. LP will accomodate tons of plug-ins, and it comes with a bunch of great one's as well!
The format for the plug-ins is called A(udio) U(nit) and works flawlessly. Many VST plug-ins are also available in AU format and the development of those is moving fast forward.
In other words, yes, you will be able to use BFD in Logic by means of the AU format.
Thanks for your time guys.
You're welcome.

Samson C01U USB mic/audio recording software.

Cubase LE is good, but Garageband, part of the iLife 06 suite is nice. I recorded a vocal trio to backing tracks and mixed it down to CD using only the effects provided in the program.
Like any software recording system, the more effects you add the more processing power you're using up, but garageband works real well.
I used the Presonus Firepod as an interface, worked fine. Any interface box will work.
If you're only doing a single audio input for a podcast, then Quicktime pro is good. It's not free, but for 30+ bucks it's worth the investment.
I've used a piece of Shareware.... D-SoundPro
you can google search it. Nice stand alone piece of software, does some amazing things with audio for a shareware product.
Hope this helps.

Where is a Screen Recording in QuickTime Pro?

Where is a Screen Recording in QuickTime Pro?

Your signature says Mac OS X 10.5.8. I am not sure that QuickTime Player screen recording is available in 10.5.8. It may have started in 10.6.
If it works on your system, in QuickTime Player you will find these commands under the File menu:
New Movie Recording
New Audio Recording
New Screen Recording
Edit: Oh, you're asking about QuickTime Pro. Not sure, sorry.

Close the QT X player without saving the recording. If you have already saved the recording, then locate the saved file and trash it in the normal manner. If you are referring to a temporary or saved file entry that shows up in the "Open Recent" list, the system will automatically reclaim the space as part of the routine system clean up if/when the file is no longer available. If you simply wish to immediately remove it from your "Open Recent" list before the system removes it, then use the "Clear Menu" option to manually clear the "Open Recent" list.

How to convert a software instrument recording to an audio recording? Logic pro X

Hey I'm having serious trouble converting a software instrument recording to an audio recording. I'm trying to record this drum beat, then convert it to an audio file so i can chop it up and sample it on the EXS24. could anyone possibly provide any helpful insight to my dilema? Thank you very much!

im sorry i should've clarified a little further. it is on the drum machine feature in Logic pro X. i want to sample the 808 kick so i can change the pitch of it in the exs24 but whenever i go to "bounce in place" this message pops up:
""Bounce Regions" in Place can only process regions on audio tracks and/or software instrument tracks. Click “OK” to deselect all regions on other tracks and continue."
do you have any answers to this specifically?

Recording using Quicktime Pro

I am trying to record a video which streams across my internet connection; the video uses Quicktime player. I thought it was possible to do this using Quicktime Pro, so yesterday I spent $30 on the upgrade, but when I right clicked on the video screen and chose "Save as Quicktime Movie" and the destination folder, as that is there is 809 bytes of data, even though the info states the correct length of the movie. I can click on the movie, and it opens a new screen and will play, but it is streaming, and I really need this to be where I can watch and listen to it offline.
Can anyone help me with this issue, if possible? I hope I didn't waste $30.
Thanks!

I don't know about any YouTube "streaming media". All I've ever seen is "progressive downloads".
Progressive downloads allow playback while the file continues to download. Streaming media is served from special server software that sends "hint tracks" and you can step through playback at any point in the file. You could view the last minute of an hour long streaming file as soon as you got the initial file started.

Recording in Quicktime Pro with a DV Camera

I have used Quicktime before to upload my videos to my Mac, but for some reason, this time Quicktime isn't reconizing the camera. The preferences are all set-up, cords are in place, and I've even got the camera plugged in so it's not the battery.
If I use iMovie, it works fine, but I'd rather not use iMovie to upload the video because I want them as separate video files. Make sense?
Basically, what am I doing wrong? How do I get Quicktime to recognize my camera so I can upload/record the footage onto my computer?

Snapz Pro can record onscreen "video" in QuickTime formats.
WireTap (free version) can record "audio" playback in .aiff format which QuickTime Pro can convert to smaller sized files.

Copy Video From Sony VRD-MC3 DVD Recorder to Quicktime Pro

I burn short clips to DVD on my Sony VRD-MC3 burner. I then load it on my mac to convert over to quicktime pro so I can create clips and add to my movies. The DVD plays on my mac DVD player but I can't get it to open on my QT pro so I can convert to the necessary movie extensions. The Finder wont show any folders on the DVD. Can anyone help me with being able to load these files and then convert using quick time Pro?
Thanks

I found this info about the recorder in a Google search:
Disk /dev/hdc: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Partitions 1 and 2 are ext2 filesystems storing the firmware files (locked up in a signed+encrypted cramfs image, so hacking will be hard). Partition 3 is encrypted xfs. Until someone cracks the encryption, no directory listing and no TS files (plus no guarantee that Sony is using TS files to store the content anyway). Breaking the encryption on any of this stuff may be tough since the manual acknowledges that they are using GNU Privacy Guard. On the other hand, since people have reported being able to update multiple units from the same Sony-provided USB flash drive, that would seem to indicate that the firmware isn't individually signed and encrypted for each unit, making it more significant if someone does manage to figure out the keys and signing scheme.
Sony does this kind of stuff all the time. It's similar to Macrovision protection on VHS tape recordings.
My guess is that the encryption is passed on to the DVD copy of the file which allows viewing but not any duplication or conversion.

Audio upsampling in Quicktime Pro: Best export settings for Final Cut?

I'm using Quicktime Pro to convert audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz, for use in FCE/FCP. Quicktime gives me several options for export settings. I want to make the conversion lossless, without increasing the size of the audio file too much.
These are the settings I'm using so far:
Format: Linear PCM
Channels: Stereo (L R)
Rate: 48 kHz
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Quality: Best
Linear PCM Settings: Sample size: 16 bits
Are these settings the best choices? Does anyone have experience doing this kind of upsampling?
Here are the other options in Quicktime:
Format: Linear PCM, A-Law 2:1, IMA 4:1, MACE 3:1, MACE 6:1, QDesign Music 2, Qualcomm PureVoice, and mu-Law 2:1
Channels: 2 Discrete Channels, Mono, Stereo (L R)
Rate: there are other choices, but I know 48 kHz is what I want
Advanced Settings:
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
Linear PCM Settings (when Linear PCM is the format): 8 bit, 16 bit, 24 bit, 32 bit (floating point checked), 32 bit (floating point unchecked).
The file size grows quickly as you increase the Linear PCM bit settings.

You can't create something that is not in the file.
Moving from 32kHz to 48 will only make the file size
larger and can't improve the audio.
Doesn't FCP or FCE import your file at 32. Or does it
change it to 48 after import?
I am aware that increasing the audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz will not improve the quality of the audio. And yes, Final Cut Pro and Express will both capture and allow you to work witih 32 kHz audio.
I have several hours of video shot with 32 kHz audio settings that I'd prefer to have stored on disk with 48 kHz audio, because (a) some applications like iMovie have demonstrated problems with 32 kHz audio in the past, and (b) the majority of my video is shot with 48 kHz audio, so my 32 kHz video will eventually end up in a 48 kHz project, leaving the upsampling to Final Cut. Yes, I do eventually plan to burn my projects to DVD as well, but this isn't an immediate concern.
The problem with doing the conversion in Final Cut is this: Some of the people knowledgeable about Final Cut Pro and Express recommend doing the upsampling using Quicktime or another application, instead of using Final Cut, because Final Cut may not do as good a job as Quicktime. So my intention is to upsample the audio now in preparation for later projects. I don't completely understand why Final Cut wouldn't do as good of a job at upsampling, but a couple of experienced users in the FCP and FCE forums have independently corroborrated this.
Thanks to everyone for their helpful posts and responsiveness.

Audio Problem on Quicktime Pro/Ipod Classic

I just downloaded Quicktime Pro and followed the steps in order to get a video from my desktop to my ipod classic. It looked and sounded fine on my Itunes (Aside from taking forever to convert). But by the time I had to convert it again for my ipod the picture was subpar and the audio was horrible. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

FCE works best with AIFF audio @48kHz. You can convert mp3s in iTunes (DRM prevents use of many iTunes Store tracks in FCE) but they wind up @44.1kHz. It's better to convert in QTPro, as that can give you the correct sample rate.

Audio Recording Software

Hey all,
I'm going to my first University lecture today (ahh!) and I'm wondering if there is some extrodinary piece of software for recording using the built-in microphone.
I found some software called "Audio Recorder 3.0" from a quick Google, but I would like some reccomendations as well.
My only desire is that I can put the computer to sleep and have the app running at the same time (I've done so with video - the sound keeps playing but the computer is sleeping).
Thanks a lot!

Hi yulichi
Audio recorder is what I recommend. It's free, it's simple, it's reliable, and nothing's better.
"My only desire is that I can put the computer to sleep and have the app running at the same time (I've done so with video - the sound keeps playing but the computer is sleeping"
This is not possible for sound, video or anything else. When your Mac sleeps it sleeps: It can't do anything else at the same time. You can by all means put your display to sleep; go into System Preferences > Energy Saver

Can't Share an Audio Recording in Quicktime X

Hi folks. My colleagues asked me to record a meeting for them, so I used Quicktime X to make an audio recording. Once I saved the file, I went to "share" it - I am indifferent how...iTunes, MobileMe, whatever. However, every option is greyed out. Does anyone know why this would be the case and how I can change it in order to share the recording with my colleagues? Thanks!

OK. To avoid confusion, let's refer to them as Blu Ray disks. DVD is standard def only (480 resolution). The confusion arises when we hear folks refer to HD DVDs, because there was once such a product. Now the format is obsolete.
So have you tried to Share>Blu Ray to see whether it can be burned from within FCP? If it doesn't work, that would suggest a problem with your FCP project. If you can, than somewhere between FCP and toast there is an issue.
As a test, take the range tool and make a short selection of your time line. Using Share>Blu Ray, select Hard Drive for out put device so you don't waste the media. If that works, you could either have FCPX do the disk for the whole project or make a disk imagine for Toast. (I don't use Toast but I'm reasonably confident it will accept img files.)
