Can I use the audio input to trigger a hot key or apple script?

Hello All,
I am looking for a solution to use a FireWire audio interface to record in multiple tracks in garage band. I am looking to have each track queue up a hot key or a apple script when that track is receiving audio and when the audio stops. for instance if person one is speaking the hot key is activated and stops when they are done talking. And when person 2 starts on a different channel a separate hot key is activated. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks

I realize you are asking specifically about 'defaults', but as they concede in 'man defaults', it may not be the best tool for editing properties in "complex" structures, such as those buried in dicts within arrays, etc.
As an alternative, it looks like in 10.5, '/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy' is now a part of the standard install - 'PlistBuddy' may be more useful for this sort of task.
For example:<pre>
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "set Test:0:Name zzzz" /path/to/file.plist</pre>

  • How can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

    how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

    First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
    Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

  • Can I use the samsung galaxy phone as a hot spot for the ipad

    can I use the samsung galaxy phone as a hot spot for the ipad

    If your Cell carrier supports it, you should have an option in your phone for "Portable Wifi Hotspot"  under Wifi and networks.
    Look in your Phone's manual for specifics.
    http://www.fusiondub.com/how-to-turn-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-into-a-wi-fi-hotspot -2/
    Once you set up the Hotspot, the iPad can connect to it like a regular Wifi network.

  • Can I set the audio INPUT to my pre-amp, and audio OUTPUT to the built in?

    I am using Logic Express 7. I want to set the audio input to my Firefox pre-amp, but set the audio output to my computer's built in speakers. I want to essentially record into the pre-amp and listen to the playback through my speakers. I can easily do this in GarageBand, but haven't found a way in Logic.

    The remaining problem I'm having is when I record into an "Audio" track via my microphone which is plugged into the Firebox, I'm still only hearing the playback from the Firefox headphone jack, not the computer's built in speakers.
    Did you select your new aggregate device in Logic's audio preferences? If so, then the problem is probably with your settings in the control panel which controls the Firebox - I don't use it, so I don't know what it's called, but it controls the routing and monitoring for the Firebox. Check the Firbox manual - there are probably two settings, one for playback and one for direct monitoring when tracking.

  • Can I use multiple audio inputs in Flash Media Live Encoder?

    This is the closet forum section to that program and I was wondering if there was any way to take the audio input from my capture card as well as a microphone and use those together at the same time.

    FMLE will not directly mux audio connections from different sources. You could try possibly using a "Virtual Audio Cable", which is a outside program. Search Google for it.
    If you want to have more control over what you broadcast, I suggest using a 3rd party program such as Telestream Wirecast, or Xsplit..
    Xsplit is a realtively cheap alternative to Wirecast which is pricey.

  • Can I replace the audio input connection point on a macbook 1.1?

    Hi, I have a macbook 1.1 and am recording on to it via audacity but it is picking up interference and I think I need to replace the audio input which is causing the problem. Is this something that is possible to do?

    When you try and purchase Logic Pro X.. the Mac Store App will tell you if you can or cannot install it on your Mac.
    For Ableton Live, ask Ableton...
    FL11.. there isnt a native Mac version... though you can run it in Windows on a Mac via Bootcamp.. but not in OS X itself.

  • Can I use the ipad keyboard Dock for pairing with a non Apple laptop?

    I am thinking of getting the keyboard dock for my IPad 2.
    I also have an IBM laptop with blutooth. Can I use the iPad dock as a keyboard for the IBM?
    Thanks

    If you're referring to this dock:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC533LL/B?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE&mco=MTg1ODE1Mjc
    it is not a Bluetooth keyboard so can't be used with the laptop.  And the keyboard dock was originally designed for the curved back of the iPad1.  So while it does appear to work with the iPad2, some people report that it's a little loose and sometimes get intermittent disconnections with the connector.
    As for Bluetooth keyboards, some can only be paired to one device.  To use with two computers, you may have to un-pair from the first device, the re-pair to the second device.  Some keyboards can "switch" without un-pairing, but you have to research to ensure the model you want will do that.  Depending on your usage, it may be more worthwhile to get separate keyboards.

  • Can i use the audio from a theme for a different one?

    Hello,
    I'm creating a DVD for my students. Long story short, we spent 3 weeks in China, I borrowed all their pictures and I'm creating a DVD with all the pictures and videos for them to have as a souvenir.
    I'm using Reflection Black but there is no audio with this theme. I know how to add music to menus or slideshows but I'd like to add the audio from a different file, Revolutions (7.0 theme). Is it possible?
    I've tried, without success, to locate the audio file. I was starting to get quite annoyed so I tried to record the audio using Quicktime but the sound wasn't very nice!
    As you've probably guessed by now, I'm not very good with computers when it comes to technical stuff!
    I really want my DVD to be good! I would really appreciate if you could help me!
    Thanks.
    Mily

    Sorry! Just found where the audio files were!

  • Can I use 2 Audio Input Devices

    Hi,
    I am using Mainstage with Apogee's GIO. I want to add a separate audio interface for Microphone (as GIO only supports guitar).
    Is there anyway I can use both at the same time whilst performing in Mainstage?
    Many Thanks
    Scott

    JG,
    Thanks for replying.
    I have setup the aggregate device in Audio Midi Setup, but it will not let me select it in Mainstage. It does have an option for System settings. But when I select this the Input options on the Channel Strips are still the same.
    Am I doing something wrong? I'm a bit of a Mac novice I'm afraid
    Cheers

  • I can't use the adress input to browse

    Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob dieses Problem erst mit der Version 8.0 auftrat, aber ich kann über die Adressleiste nicht mehr zu anderen Seiten navigieren: ich gebe eine Adresse ein und nichts passiert...einfach nichts. Rechts von der Adressleiste erscheint ein grüner Pfeil mit dem Hinweis "In der Adress-Leiste angegebene Adresse laden." aber auch wenn man den grünen Pfeil 10 mal drückt, nichts passiert.

    TC does not support scanners.. just printers.. if you have a MFC .. only the printer will work.

  • I have on;y one audio port can i use it for input and output at the same time?

    i have the new macbook pro 13 in and i want to connect aguitar as input and output on an amp but i have only one audio port

    You can't use the jack as an input and output simultaneously. The solution is to look for a USB or Firewire interface to get your guitar sound into the computer.

  • Is there a way to digitize audio using the headphone input on the 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with Retina display?

    I'd like to digitize audio from a minidisc player into my 15-inch (late 2013) Macbook Pro with retina display, but can't see a way to change the internal mic input.  I understand that previous MacBooks allowed the headphone jack to double as a mic input, but mine doesn't seem capable of switching.  I've tried using a mini to mini cable, with no luck, and also tried using a headset splitter adapter (3.5 mm 4-pin to 2x3-pin 3.5 mm headset splitter adapter from Amazon) because I read that that would allow me to plug in headphones and input audio.  But in both cases, the only "input" available in my sound preferences is the built-in internal microphone.  Am I missing something?  Is there a way to digitize audio through the headphone jack? 

    Not likely. headphone jacks are usually output only devices unless specifically stated to support input, and even then, it may not be audio input that they support, but merely control input for volume and such.
    You can get a USB audio input instead. i.e:
