Can i simultaneously play audio and record a different stream?

Hi!
I've got a Mac Pro and am contemplating purchase of a Macbook Pro. In short, I have a radio show, and I play much of my music off of a laptop.
The station has a Lexicon Alpha connected to our console. One typically plays music via iTunes through a USB connection. Thus, the Lexicon handles digital->analog conversion.
I'd actually like to record my show from the console to my laptop. I would likely purchase something like an http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/duet.php>Apogee Duet that would handle analog->digital conversion. I presume I'd use something like Logic Pro (or perhaps there is some free software like Garageband that might be fine for this purpose) to record/save the stream. Note: The Duet has a Firewire interface.
Is this possible on the Macbook Pro?
I'm guessing that it is possible, simply because:
1) No digital-analog or analog-digital conversion is being performed onboard, thus the computer is simply handling 2 digital data streams.
2) Further, the devices are not transmitting a signal on the same bus (USB or Firewire) but, rather, using one of each. Perhaps that doesn't make any difference.
Thanks in advance for confirming this for me. It will help in a purchasing decision.

AG,
Since I have both types of devices an older USB Tascam US-122 and a Presonus Firestudio I tried a quick test. Played Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" in itunes via Tascam USB output and recorded a stereo guitar track in Logic via the Firestudio. Worked fine on this older G5 desktop.

  • Can i play audio and record video at the same time, disabling the external mike, so the video has that audio?

    Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
    The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

  • Playing audio and video files in JSF (.wav,.mp3)

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to play audio and video files such as .wav,.mp3 in jsf .
    could any one please post the code for playing the wav files.
    Thanks,
    Ram

    There is no JSF component to do this, so you would have to write your own custom component to render an <object ...> element.
    Or, you can use <f:verbatim> wrapped around an html <object ...> element.

  • Play audio and video on form.

    i want play audio and video at form plzzzzzzzzz help me

    in 6i there is a Item-Type called SOUND. You can use this for Sound. There is no direct feature for video.
    ! Don't use the SOUND-Item's, because they are obsolet in Forms 10g !
    Else you can use JavaBeans , which you have to find in the Internet or build for yourself to manage audio and video

  • In an HDV sequence can I "scrub" the timeline and record it via FW to tape?

    In an HDV sequence can I "scrub" the timeline and record it via FW to tape?
    In standard definition I used to be able to do this via Firewire to my mini-dv deck. But now I am working with the Canon Vixia30, an HDV camera. I'd like to be able to scrub the time line back and forth at varying speeds and record this scrubbing live (rather than doing it with Motion software.) Is there anyway to "record" this action, either onto tape or digitally, while maintaining the HD resolution?
    If possible I'd like to figure out how to do this without buying extra equipment. I understand I could get a Matrox MO2 Mini box ($450.) to output the live HD signal, but then how to record the HD signal from the Matrox box? (my camera only has HDMI out, not in.)
    Thank you for your input.

    And if you capture your footage as ProRes (as I see discussed in another thread), you cannot output to HDV via firewire. It would be pointless. To go from a lossy format to ProRes to edit...then convert back to HDV. Typically people who shoot HDv never master back to HDV, as it isn't a mastering format.
    And yes, the MAX is totally worth it. Compression times faster than RT (meaning less time to compress than the timeline is long...I did 90 min timeline in 75 min yesterday). Worth it? Depends how much your time is worth. TO me, I'd like to have the compression done in 75 minutes opposed to 3-4 hours.

  • Can't watch a programme and record at the same time.

    I rang Sky who say it's nothing to do with them. Gave me Lovedigital number. Rang them they said contact my landlord. Rang Bristol City Council, they say it's nothing to do with them.

    What I meant is the number of cables going into your Sky box. If there is only one cable going to your Sky box, that answers the question of why you can't watch one thing and record another at the same time - your Sky + box would require two inputs to do that. From what you've said it sounds like a communal dish set up. If that is right then whoever looks after that are the people you need to contact to see about the possibility of getting a double feed into your home.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • Can my computer play movies and videos transferred to time capsule

    can my computer play movies and videos transferred to time capsule

    I use InFuse, an iPhone, iPad, App.
    It can play the video on the iPhone or iPad.
    I use it to play on the TV using AirPlay and AppleTV.
    It does transcoding where needed. It uses screen mirroring for native formats such as mp4.
    It can look up the movie and TV series database for information, plot description, rating, cover art etc.
    For playing on the Mac just open the file in Quicktime.

  • Dell laptop headphone jack does not work when playing audio and video in Firefox 27

    My problem is similar to the one posted in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/986978?esab=a&s=laptop+headphones+don%27t+work+with+firefox&r=2&fpa=1&as=s
    I believe it has little to nothing to do with extensions.
    I have just installed Firefox 27 on the Dell Inspiron 3520 laptop of a friend. She is an unsophisticated user who has a computer for email, simple web browsing, and watching YouTube and other online videos. Because she frequently seems to end up with junk on her machine, I wanted to switch her over to Firefox so I could install ad and script blockers that would hopefully slow down the frequency of adware and malware roosting in her system.
    The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 3520 with an Intel celeron CPU (64-bit), running Windows 8. There are standard end-user applications installed (Adobe Reader, VLC Media Player, etc.), but no tweaking utilities, etc. The audio drivers are Cirrus Logic High Definition Audio.
    I've been troubleshooting the laptop today trying to track down why the integrated speakers continue to work when the headphones are plugged in, with no sound coming through the headphones. Because I had run a series of virus / malware / adware scans just before installing Firefox, I thought I had mistakenly deleted some system audio files.
    It finally became clear after toggling multiple settings, playing with Windows and Dell sound settings, and experimenting, that the headphone audio jack still works as it should in the system itself (for example, playing videos through VLC Media Player) and in Internet Explorer. It is only in Firefox that plugging in the headphones does not send audio through the headphones nor cut out the integrated speakers.
    Sometimes there is a silencing of the integrated speakers for a few seconds, but then the audio kicks in again. (I am using YouTube and a certain movie streaming website to test the audio).
    However, if the headphones are plugged in before starting the videos, the sound comes through the headphones, but unplugging the headphones, then reinserting them, stimulates problem again. Not only that, but then in YouTube the video will stall and can't be restarted until the page is reloaded.
    Again, this is a fresh Firefox install of less than 24 hours, with only Adblock, Adblock Plus Pop-up Addition, Flashblock, and NoScript installed. There are no themes installed and most of the Options are the defaults that are set upon installation.
    I have both disabled the add-ons and uninstalled them entirely before testing the headphone funtionality. In both instances the problem persisted. I've also uninstalled and let Windows re-install the Cirrus audio drivers.
    Does anyone else have any insight into this problem, and any potential solutions other than "start in Safe Mode" and "reset Firefox"?

    Firefox can switch audio devices within ~ a + or - 10 minute period or so (Just a guess). At which point it latches onto the audio device and will never change until the entire process is shutdown (read last paragraph, there is an exception)
    Ive had this problem for a few months now, at least. And I switch back and forth from my sound system and my wireless USB headset.
    If anything will fix this i believe it would be disabling "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the properties of your default audio device, but i doubt it. I think this is an issue regarding the code in firefox itself.
    I'd like to see this turned into a default feature, being able to disable and enable the ability to stay on whichever device was the default at the time of launch, or to always play on the current default device, even if its changed. That or being able to choose a specific device/devices (WOULD LOVE TO THIS).
    Other than that I dont really have a solution, and I kind of doubt anyone will unless its addressed in the next update.
    Oh I thought of one solution that doesnt require restarting firefox, disable the current audio device and the sound will automatically switch to the next available device. Or possibly when a new device is introduced?? I havent done much testing on the matter though. This is just my best guess based on my personal experience with firefox.

  • Can no longer play audio files embedded in a PDF

    I can no longer play embedded audio files in PDFs in version 11 for Windows XP (though I could on an older version). The audio will not play on my Mac either. How do I fix this?

    I should add that these are mpgs of a television series. They were made with QuickTime Pro 7.6.2 or .3 just before the new iTunes and Snow Leopard came out. I can open them with either QT X or QTPro7 on the Mini and they play fine. I don't know where to point the finger since they play through iTunes fine on the PPC Leopard Mac and not the Intel Snow Leopard Mac. It could be how the new tunes works with the OS but those kind of hooks are harder to find than they were back in the old OS7,8,9 days. I'm not meaning to be an old bloke longing for the old days cause i love the magic of technology.

  • Is it possible to play audio and video files(urls) directly in webView ?

    Hello Everybody,

    Or is there any other way to play this files?
    Any kind of information on this topic is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else.  If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
    I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works.  If it doesn't, it doesn't.
