Capturing audio from telephone for use in FCP

My requirement is quite specific, and so far none of previous posts seem to answer my question. So...
I'm looking to capture audio from my telephone for use in FCP. It won't be a telephone conversation, but a voice text. In other words, an SMS sent to a landline. The audio is saved as a voice message on the answer machine. My phone / answer machine is fairly basic - it has a speaker and the only ports it has is for power and the telephone line itself. I have tried a very basic method of playing the message on speaker and capturing it on a mini DV - but that results in too much audio edit to get it to sound acceptable. My Mac is a G5 and I have the full FC studio, but just not sure of best way to get audio onto the Mac without losing too much of the sound quality.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks all...

you need a telephone audio interface like the products made by the fine folks at gentner, telos or jk audio. i have a celltap from jk audio, works very very well. http://www.jkaudio.com/celltap.htm

Capturing Computer Monitor video for use in FCP project.

I'm working on an industrial film for a company that makes websites, and they want to put in video clips of their websites. I'm looking for a good program that will allow me to capture my desktop and make FCP ready videos. It doesn't need to be free, it just needs to do what I need. I'm also looking for the right settings to set for those movies for use in a standard DV NTSC project.
Thanks in advance!

Converting footage from vhs for use in FCP

Got some old VHS tapes that I want to get over to a digital format.
I know someone with the gear to convert VHS to DVD, but what I really want is to get the data in DV format on my Mac/FCP and this guy uses PC.
I have an old VHS player, but no real gear, cables etc.
What is the best option here? I'm fairly well versed in FCP but not so much on the data conversion side.
Thanks

so maybe I'll try that first. They've already been
converted once from 8mm tape to VHS, so I really
don't want to convert them too many more times if I
can help it...<
But the 8mm tapes are gone, yes?
Someday the VHS copies will not longer work. </div>
I know, that is why I am trying to get it off the VHS tapes and into DV (for long term storage) and DVD (for short term storage/playback).
No, the 8mm (not film, but the Sony tape format) are still around, but my dad's old video camera is on it's last legs and he converted them to VHS so I could play them (even though I haven't had a VHS player for years - but I managed to get one though).
In my above statement, just meant that I was looking for the path of least resistance (least amount of conversions) to get the tape into the Digital Age.
Thanks!

Can JMF capture audio from sound card?

I want to know if JMF can capture sound/audio from the sound card. Until now we have been capturing audio from microphone. but is there any possibility of capturing audio from sound card using JMF.
The audio captured from the sound card is to be streamed using JMF/RTP API.

Dear seniors,
i have tried to display my audio file as a graph as
x axis being the Time and the y axis beeing the frequency/pitch.
look at this post, i have mentioned all here...
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3073027&#3073027
is it possible to display as i desired?
wht the audio stream has? is it frequency or pitch?...
pls do give me some tips on that...
thanx in advance

Capture audio from MIC and decode bitsream

Hi, I am new to windows phone 8.1. I want to capture audio from the MIC using MediaCapture, first I can capture to the audio using recordToSorageFileAsync but I cannot capture it to just to a memory steam, how is this done? Also after it is captured either
way the recorded data needs to be broken up into a byte array, so that I can bit decode, i.e. I need to determine what is a high and what is a low, the audio is Manchester encoded given a 1 = 25mSec on 25mSec off and a zero = 25mSec off 25mSec on, how can
I decode the audio to find out this pattern, the audio pattern will have a fixed preamble of FF followed by the data.

StartRecordToStreamAsync
method provide the possibility to save to memory stream.

Using Flex to capture audio from Flash

Hi!
I've been trying for a while to figure out how to capture audio from a flash-application (http://www.delorean.se/mixer)
and store it as a mp3-file.
Since I've studied Java for 2 years I thought I'd try and use it to capture the audio but I'm running into problems all the time,
and I've been advised to look up Flex by other Java users.
So, I got some questions:
Is Flex a good tool to use to capture audio from flash-applications and store the audio as a mp3-file?
Is Flex hard to learn (I've been working with Eclipse for a long time so the IDE shouldn't be a problem and learning another language/framework is always nice)
Any tips in general?
Any answers would make me very happy!
Thanks!

physical are closed : how will it managed the queues and overspill queues when target is not present? Also the data dictionary must reflect the primary but If you run capture, then you introduce rules that are not on primary: How ?

Capturing Audio from DAT

Hello,
I'm trying to capture audio from a DAT deck (Tascam DA-20) into FCP HD by routing it through my JVC BR-DV600U DV deck (RCA output from DAT, RCA input to DV deck, Firewire into FCP).
The DV deck's input is set to line-in, and the audio is being routed through (audio meters on DV deck mimic those on DAT deck, and I can hear the audio through the headphones jacked into my DV deck).
However, when I try to capture the audio on FCP, I am unsuccessful, prompting the following window from FCP: "Error: Final Cut Pro HD was unable to read the movie file just captured."
Now, I use the same set up I described above to capture footage from my Beta deck into FCP with no problems (route Beta signal through DV deck and firewire it into FCP). This leads me to believe that perhaps the glitch lies within my Capture Presets.
At first, I tried to capture the signal as an Audio-Only DV NTSC 48 Khz/Non-controllable device. After that failed, I tried to create my own capture preset, but am not sure it will make a difference, as the only input choices I am given are DV Audio, Built-In Audio, and None.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Why not capture the audio content outside of FCP, check the sample rate for 48Khz/16-bit, convert if necessary, save as an AIFF file, and then import that resulting sound file into FCP?
Any good audio app, including STP will do captures.
You are probably going to need to do some cleanup on the audio anyway before you use it, so why not just use an audio app to do it beforehand?
Besides, if you have an audio device (PCI card or Firewire device) in your Mac, you can use the S/PDIF port for your connection to the DAT and do a digital transfer when you import.
As I understand the way you are doing it now, you are taking digital content from the DAT, converting it to analog for the connection into your deck, and then re-converting it into digital when you capture it back into FCP.
One big advantage of digital audio (and video) is to avoid generation loss and added noise during transfer if you go D-to-D.
If you don't have an audio card or Firewire A/D audio I/O device with S/PDIF ports in your Mac, then see if you can find a friend who has one and can do the transfer for you. Then he can give you the file on a CD-ROM.
That's what I'd do.

Capture Audio from Mic

I am new to Java and need to know where to start with developing a Java app that can capture audio from a pc's mic, convert it to mp3, name the audio, and store it in a directory of my choosing. Additionally, I'll need an interface to that audio app that can receive function calls and args from a windows-based application.
Can you point me in the right direction- sample code if possible.
Thanks,
Jeff

I have the same problem. There doesn't seem to be any sample code for capturing an audio recording with JMF! I have browsed the web, the usenet groups and the (physical) library. It's almost like they try to keep it secret :/
There is plenty of information on how to use the JMF player, though.

Capturing Microphone from Client- Side using C# Webform

Is their any way to capture audio from any device through a web form using C# and HTML5 ?
Rogelio Rios

Hi Roger,
According to your description, your case related to Html5 and it is a web application. So i guess you are doing ASP.NET application. This forum is to discuss problems of C# development. You are more likely to get more
efficient responses to ASP.NET issues at http://forums.asp.net where you can contact ASP.NET experts. Thanks for your understanding.
Have a nice day!

External Hard Drive for PowerMac G5 for use with FCP Studio

Hello,
I'd greatly appreciate any recommendation for an external hard drive for a PowerMac G5 for use with FCP Studio.
Thanks.

We see alot of Lacie issues here and elsewhere.
Drives fail... period. I believe you hear more about Lacie drives failing because they sell a ton more of them than many other suppliers. I've got 8 of em sitting right here on the desk and two more at the second station. I've lost one since I started using them years ago (and it had problems right out of the box) and I use them pretty heavy.
I understand that they use several different brands of drives in their enclosures, but from my experience they must have pretty good QC standards for what they package.
The guy said the G Techs were a little overkill for his needs. Lacie doesn't pay me. But if someone asks "how are Lacies?" I'll tell them they've been great for me and many others I know, especially if your requirements are capturing DV.
In five years, I ain't heard anybody say anything about it.
As for FCP. I love it! In 20 years of business, it's probably the purchase that's given me the most bang for my buck. But if you haven't heard people knock it, you've never met an Avid zelot, bruhhhhh, just the thought gives me shivers.
The drives X mentioned are designed for video work.
What Studio said, well he gives out some of the best advice on this board
(and maybe the most! ) and my reply to his post... that's why I used the little smiley face. No offence intended X.
I only meant to say that, in a world where software like FCP can do what it does at the price it does it, and drives like Lacie and G Tech can give you the storage they do for the price they do, the line between consumer and professional products is easily blurred.

Convert vob files for use in FCP X

I need to convert VOB files for use in FCP X on my macbookpro in OS X Lion (10.7.5) I use Clipwrap to convert other formats, but it does not seem to accept VOB for conversion (or if it does, I have not figured out how). In searching the web, I've come across several products that tout themselves as the best, fastest, easiest VOB to Prores converters etc., some that advertise as "free" when actually only a watermarked trial version is free. I have no idea of the actual quality of any of these (some examples are Brorsoft video converter for Mac, and Acrok HD Video Converter...), and would like some input from folks w/ experience in these things before dropping $ on the problem.
In another thread on this site I read something about MPEG Streamclip, & something about needing to separately download an MPG2 converter for it w/ Lion or Mountain Lion - the process sounded confusing and I couldn't tell if it applied to my situation or not...
Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed.

MpegStremclip is THE Swiss Army Knife, when it comes to conversion, a 100% reliable, it IS absolutely free (any download a dollar = Stefano would be a millionaire!), I dare to say it is THE most recommended 3d party tool in the editor community ....
How & why you need to install the mp2 plug-in does Signore Cinque explain in simple words on his website:

Can you capture video from the internet, using premiere pro cc?

trying to capture video from the internet, using premiere pro cc, is that possible?
also - it keeps saying "video capture offline" - any solutions for that?

I am going to go out on a limb and say that while it may be against the YouTube terms of service to download or scrape a video off of their service, there are times that I really don't care since it is for my personal use. Providing myself or my wife with entertainment that she can watch or listen to on her smartphone while on an airplane, or in a car traveling down the road, just doesn't bother my moral compass. Doesn't make it twitch in the least.
Perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps I shouldn't do it. Tough. I do, and will continue to do so until the Google police come knocking on my door.
This is pretty much the same argument that they tried to kill the VCR with. The simple act of time shifting was something that was considered wrong, and illegal, until people came to their senses.
As for the editing capability, you might be surprised at the ways it is possible to download video that works just fine for what I use it for. Premiere Pro has no problems allowing me to edit out the parts I don't like, or just aren't funny, and the quality really doesn't suffer much at all.
Now, with the exception of something I did for my two year old Great Niece, I have never used any video that I have downloaded for anything except a tutorial, or in her case, a Sesame Street song I used when I shot video of me reading her the Sesame Street book that I purchased.
Would it be wrong to post downloaded video, intact or edited, for public consumption? Sure it would. No question about it.
But please do not assume that everyone downloading video from the Internet is doing so for nefarious purposes, and I promise not to assume everyone is a perfect angel and is following all the rules.

Is it possibleto buy iphione 5s and an ipad air from US for use in Zimbabwe?

Is it possible to buy an iphone 5s and an ipad air from US for use in Zimbabwe?

iPhones sold at less than full price are locked to a wireless carrier
and in the US you are agreeing to a 2 year contract with that wireless
carrier. Such iPhones will only work with the wireless carrier to which
they are locked, and only that carrier can unlock the iPhone.
Be advised that Apple sells 2 types of iPhones at the same price-
one is contract free meaning the iPhone is locked to a wireless provider
but no 2 year contract is required, and the other is unlocked meaning it
can be used with any wireless provider that uses the same bandwidths
and protocols as the iPhone supports.
If you purchase an iPhone from the US, the warranty will be valid only in
the US. Should a problem arise, you would have to personally bring the
iPhone to Apple in the US or send it to a friend/relative in the US to take in.
Apple does not accept international shipments for evaluation nor will Apple
ship out of the country after repair. A US purchased iPhone will not work
with LTE/4G outside of North America. But your iPhone locally to avoid
these problems.
