Audio recording with Satellite L300

I have a USB audio interface that I want to use for audio recording with the webcam and other software. I can monitor sound via USB interface but can't record.
In the CAS for webcam my USB is not listed as a device, so I can't select it, only the built in realtek mic.
Any help much appreciated!!

Hi Akuma, hey thanks for replying. sorry I never checked back cos I thought my post had disappeared when I first tried to sort this problem out. I have tried (and am able to) select my Tascam US 122l interface in the control panel sound and audio devices , I've got the latest drivers and firmware downloaded. Ntrack studio, cubase, Kristal audio, all allow me to select my usb interface, for a few moments will record, always within 30 secs of recording or play back it makes a few squeeks and pops the craps out and won't work at all until the usb interface is unplugged and re plugged in. I've fiddled with all possible latency and buffering options where available as well, no joy! Same problem.
My usb interface worked beautifully with Kristal Audio downloaded onto my wife's slower, older pc with less memory also using vista, so the problem seems to be with the L300.
Thanks again Akuma, and thanks in advance if anyone can help with this problem that's seriously doing my head in!

Audio recording with new iPod

Looking at the specs for the "enhanced" fifth-generation iPod, I see no "voice memos" in the "extras" index. Does this mean this new edition of iPod no longer has the ability to record audio with an external mic?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Is it at all possible to voice record with the new ipod?
Yes, it's possible. The roadblock at the current moment is that no recording accessories have been developed and released yet.
This thread has a lengthy discussion on voice recording:

Bug report: Quicktime Audio recording with multichannel interfaces

I have problems recording audio in Quicktime using a multichannel audio interface. I tried two firewire interfaces, an Apogee Ensemble and the RME Fireface. Both are supported by core audio and work as expected with any audio sequencer such as Garage band, Logic, Studio One etc. However, both show the same strange behavior in Quicktime 10.2 and as well in iMovie and FCPx:
First, i selected interface channels 1 / 2 in the audio-midi-settings window as the stereo input source. In the quicktime audio recording window, I select the audio interface (fireface or ensemble) as the audio source. I expected that the recorded audio would be stereo. However, regardless of these settings, the recording is always mono. Actually quicktime records only channel 1 and ignores all other channels. This might be a bug in Quicktime with regard to the handling of multichannel interfaces. The same bug occurs in Final Cut Pro X and iMovie, which seem to use the same audio engine as Quicktime. However, Garage band and Logic do not show the problem.
It does also not seem to occur with simple stereo interfaces. I tried a Logitech C920 webcam with a built-in stereo microphone and a Zoom Q2HD recorder used in stereo USB microphone mode. In both cases, the recordings in FCPx are 2 channel stereo as it should be. Thus the problem is specific for multichannel interfaces.
Can anybody reproduce or explain this behaviour?
I am using OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), MacBook Pro 15 Retina 2.3 GHz.
Regards, Werner

It seems that apple has reacted to this bug report without notice. Recently I tried it once more with quicktime and an apogee ensemble interface. Surprisingly, the problem did not occur anymore. I have not tested it with iMovie and FCPX yet.
The sad side of Apples support strategy is that I spent time and money searching for a workaround without knowing that Apple had removed the bug in the meantime.

Resources for audio recording with LE 7.2

Greetings, folks. I'm a recent convert to Macs and to Logic Express, having futzed around with various flavors of Sonar and wanting to take advantage of the many nice features of my Macbook. I've been working through the Logic Pro and Express training manual and I think I'm coming up to speed on using LE OK. My main use for LE, though, is going to be audio recording small acoustic ensembles (and mainly acoustic guitar and vocals), and I could really use a fuller discussion of LE's audio recording and editing features than is found in the training manual. What I'm really looking for, I suppose, are task-oriented explanations of how to do things such as comping tracks, rather than the system-oriented descriptions of what you find in the various LE windows. Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Trent

[THE Forum] Audio recording with Java / JMF

Hello,
I would like to gather any useful information about audio recording. I've worked on this area for months now and I am still facing many problems, namely:
Can't record on linux with JMF,
Can't pause on linux with JMF,
Problems when two soud cards are on the PC,
Problems with Windows NT,
When using the pause feature, the sound is transformed while recording a song.
If you have any quesitons, I'll try to answer. If you are the solution to one of these problems please let me know.
For the sound cards problem, when disabling one of the sound card it works.

Hi!
I'm developing a videoconferencing application on Linux and I can't
capture sound. I get messages like these: "Couldn't initialize audio device" or "java.io.IOException: Cannot open audio device for input."
My system: RedHat 7.3, J2SDK1.4.1, JMF2.1.1.c and SoundBlaster audio card.
Could you tell me how have you configured your system or how have you got capturing sound?
Thankyou.

Audio recording with QT

Further to my previous post I have tried to record with QT 7
It shows my ADVC device but when I click on record. Says that no data was sent.
I checked that the ADVC which is connected to "output" of the tape player is well set for 48 Khz audio, and is connected via fire wire to my Mac.
What could be wrong
Thanks in advance
Ivan

OK, that is really true...
While I was waiting for a reply, I tried what David suggested and used my video Hi8 to simulate a transfer with no sound except the one from my tapes....and guess what ????
it works !
I am going to try it again with STP and QT7 under same conditions.
Funny that these boxes seem to need a video running.
Even more than that, I have tried an empty tape...and it does not seem to work !
Which means you really need an active signal
thanks a lot for this reply which is very helpful

Audio recording with QT Pro vs. QT Broadcaster

Need to record a seminar (audio only) and live webcast parts of it. Audio goes from mixer to line in on Macbook with QT Pro and QT Broadcaster. Broadcaster will record to disk, but it appears to have no metering. It also appears that to record with Broadcaster, you have to be broadcasting. I successfully recorded with QT Pro while broadcasting. Questions:
1) With QT Pro, how far into the red is safe on recording?
2) Are there any input metering options (like displaying the peaks for a second or two)?
3) Can you change the default naming from Audio n.mov to something else?
4) With QT Broadcaster, is there any level indication - how can you tell if your level is good?
5) It seems simplest to record with QT Pro and just turn on Broadcaster when needed. QT Pro won't let you pause a recording and resume with the same file, but I can live with that. But is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
John

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.)

How do I sync a audio recording with video?

Hi,
I recorded a concert using my DSLR and a separate sound recorder. What is the easiest way to sync these two up in PE10? I had hoped that at the least I could compare the wave files of both the original recording on the camera with the separate recording. But PE10 only shows the wave file of the recording from the camera. The wav file from the recorder is just shown as a green bar. Any ideas?
cheers
bill

First, what is the file format, and its specs. for the remote recorder?
Though the rates of modern cameras and digital recorders SHOULD match 100%, in the real-world, they seldom do. This make perfect syncing a labor intensive process.
One should do tests between the cameras and the recorders, to find out the % or error. Then, adjust their Audio to match first. As an example, one user in the PrPro Forum tested his Panasonic cameras, and his Zoom recorders, and found that the Zooms were off by 0.04% constantly. To correct this, he used the Time Remapping (with Maintain Pitch checked), and would apply that adjustment to all of the Zooms' files - perfect sync.
As for the Waveform not displaying for your remote recorder, did you allow those files to completely Conform (creation of the CFA and PEK files, the latter is the Waveform Display)? See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/726693?tstart=30
Also, you should be able to increase the vertical zoom of your Audio Tracks, and hence any Clips on them, by hovering the Cursor over the junction between Tracks, in the Track Header, and when it turns into a = sign, with up/down arrows, click+drag. Then, you should be able to find commonality in the beginning, to sync up to. Tip: for this critical work, toggle the Snap feature OFF, with the S key.
Good luck,
Hunt

Logic Pro 9- Audio Recording with Rewire?!?!

Id really appreciate if someone could help me out with this
I've been running Rewire through Logic Pro 9 and Reason 4, with Reason being the slave of course, and trying to record audio tracks in Logic from Reason. Does anyone know how to do this??
I know how to setup channel auxillary tracks to hear the midi tracks from Reason, and have tried setting up a bus to channel the output to record to an audio track and it hasn't worked
Can anyone please explain how to get an output on an audio track from a Reason midi track to record it please?

The 32bit bridge has a long history of instability... so your experiences are not unusual.
This is probably one of the major reasons why the bridge and use of 32bit plugins, was finally removed in LPX..... as LPX only supports 64bit AU plugins.
However, you can use something like VEP or 32Lives to run 32bit plugins in LP9 64bit mode.. without the use of the 32bit bridge (and in LPX which doesnt have the bridge) and this does improve stability.
See this user tip for links etc...

Multi track audio recording with ipad air

Are there users of ipad air with a usb connecting adaptor and a usb audio device making multi track recordings? I have had limited success doing this with my previous generation ipad and am wondering about the stability of eight-track recording on the ipad air.

Just thought I would let anyone who's reading this
topic know that I have resolved my issue, it was to
do with the Audio Configuration of Logic to the
inputs from the MOTU. I went to Logic>Audio>Audio
Configuration and configured it so that each track
received from the respective inputs.

Only one channel of audio recorded with external USB audio interface on DV6604nr

I only get on channel of audio when i hookup my Behringer UCA202 to my dv6604nr
vista 32 sp2 . The Behringer takes analog 2 channel audio and converts it to a digital signal.
This is using the Audacity software. The hardware and software check fine, though i tested them with an xp system.
Are there trouble shooting tips for these issues. I've updated the Audacity software and the usb drivers say their up to date. (?)

Come on... It's just like a usb turntable, only a little better quality. What steps would you use to troubleshoot one of those?

Clicks in audio recording with midi

If I have an audio instrument open, and am playing via midi, at the same time as I am recording audio, I get clicks in the audio. This wasn't always the case.
Does anyone else get this?

try increasing your buffer size.

Audio recording with external mic

Hi,
I have a problem that's become a real issue for me. I record meetings from the end of a conference table and have used a Dell in the past. I have a great little external mic called Sound Grabber. However, when I try to use it on my Mac, the volume quality is not adequate. I feel like the Mac really doesn't recognize the external mic and wants to default to the internal mic all the time, and that doesn't cover a conference room by any means. I've tried other mics and had the same issue, so I'm sure it's not the mic. I've also seen similar complaints from other users, but no one has come up with an explanation or solution.
This function is vital to my job and lack of quality recording forces me back to the Dell every time. Can anyone help me get this figured out so I can stick with the Mac?

MBP = MacBookPro
I use a MicFlex (http://www.mac-pro.com/s.nl/it.A/id.1896/.f $39.95) for most personal voice uses on OSX and an mVox MV100 for desktop conference/group calls (http://www.mvox.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2 $9.99) on my PC (used to be Mac compatible but not since 10.3)
