Cp 6: Recording sound problem

Hello!
I am using Cp 6, and when I play back my recording clips, the sound it barely audible because it's so soft (i.e. it sounds like it's way off in the distance). Even though I am NOT speaking softly. Can anyone help me with this issue please? Thanks!

Did you test your recording levels to ensure correct volume before recording?
What gain setting were you using? (This depends very much on the microphone you are using. Some might be fine at 1, others may need to be set to 2 or 3)

HP Mini 110-1160SA problem recording sound from sound card

I am trying to record sound from the sound card itself rather than an external or internal microphone, using a free software called Sonarca Sound Recorder. For example, I play radio from the internet using the BBC Iplayer. I have Windows 7 Starter. When I use the Windows Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Manage Audio Devices, I get a window called Sound. I press the Recording tab, and get a choice of Internal Microphone, External Microphone, and Stereo Mix. According to my sound recorder software's documentation, I need to select that Stereo Mix, because it means "record whatever the sound card is playing". However, the Stereo Mix recording device, despite having a red tick mark next to it is "Currently Unavailable". How do I make it available?

to be honest, i am not sure about your problems, normally, you need to set stereo mix as default device, then using recording devices to record sound on windows 7. Since you cannot make it, why not insall a virtual sound device, it works like a real one, install this streaming music recorder on your system, start recording. Just test it out by yourself.

You've selected *Line In* instead of *Internal Microphone* as your input source.
I have no idea what iSHOW U is.

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice.

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice. I wished for a software fix. I did a hard reset, nothing. I did a full restore to factory settings not putting my backup on and the problem persisted.

I did every step in the link that i have been provided with (thank you), but I’m
still experiencing the same issue. My experience with Apple has been
excellent and this has been the first time I have experienced something
like this with an Apple product. I hope we can find a quick solution.
In order to get the iPhone 5 as soon as it launched (being a major fan of
Apple products!), I purchased my iPhone 5 from the UK through a friend of
mine who lives there.
My question is: can I have the faulty device replaced within Saudi by one
of the official resellers here (we have 3: STC, Mobily and Zain)? I want to
avoid the disruption, complication and expense of sending it back to the
UK.
Could you advise whether this is possible or not, and if not how should I
go about having the device replaced?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Nice try! Take a hike.

Can't record sound using the jack in/out on macbook pro 13 os x

hi
i bought a new macbook pro 13' intel core i5 4gb with the latest os x version 10.8.2. mainly for sound and video editing
yesterday i tried to record sound using garage band and through the mini jack port. once i connected an mp3 player to the mini jack port, the sound prefrences window recognized it as headphones and not as input jack as it did on my friend's same mac with leopard os on it.
it seems like no matter what i try to do (changing instument set up on garage band, restarting the computer with the jack in or out etc...) nothing worked
i bought this mac just so i wouldn't have to deal with these kind of problems....suppose to be a very user friendly os and hardwear.
very dissapointing. please if any one has a clue what can be done?

i'm aware of my other audio interface options, but i would expact this machine to have the basic options every 20 year old pc has, a simple plug and play difault to get audio into my computer. i bought it at b and h in NY and in their specs it says that it's a 'combo kack' - meaning both in and out analog audio ports. after cheaking mac's site it says only headphones.
also tryied to connect a digidesign mini mbox2, through the usb port, and i had to unplug it, shut down the mbp, restart it again etc.. and it also doesn't always work propely and makes all kinds of digital error sounds.
although in this case i can't that the mbox is not damaged.
over all it's very dissapointing. it's my first mac and i figured it would be a much more idiot proof, user freindly work tool.
if you got any other tips i'd appreciate that
thanx alot for the focusrite link

Recording sound is quiet and dusty!?

Hi guys!
I have problems when recording my guitars. I have M-audio Fast Track Pro Interface and new 6.02 garageband. When I record any voice, the volume is really quiet and dusty. If I'm trying to turn more gain from my Interface the sound gets scratsy. Sound is also realy dusty. I can't undestand what is the problem. When I had Ubuntu and Ardour, recording sound was just great... Please help me!
Cheers!

Ah, my mistake i didn't realise you were using a USB audio interface.
I'm not familiar with Fast Track Pro, but i think there is a supposed to be a preference pane for this device in system preferences... have a look and see if it has it's own separate input volume.
Also i'd check that the device has enough power (otherwise the pre-amp might not be working properly even though the interface is), it looks like it's bus powered, so it is possible your mac simply doesn't have enough amps to give or that other devices are using it up. plug in a separate power adapter just incase.
Then as with any kind of audio problem of this nature just go through the the whole chain of devices and check that each of them have reasonable volume... especially at the source, if that hasn't got a good enough output then you are going to have to do unnecessary amplification and pick up a lot of noise (which sounds like your "dusty" description).
If your still stuck you might be better off going to an m-audio forum for advice.

Recording sound directly from a DVD into your computer

Can you record sound directly into your computer from a DVD playing on your computer?

Audio Hijack also creates large files, size-wise. This can be a problem if you are working with putting music on audio cds. Google "ripdifferent" for a site that discusses various methods of legally backing up legally purchased media. The gray area here actually has to do with breaking encryption- under US copyright law, users have always been allowed to make a single back-up (Fair Use) of any recorded media they have purchased. It is possible that media companies are, themselves, in violation of copyright law by making it difficult to make said backups by encrypting their media. Also, copying (ripping, recording, etc.) any DVD in any way would seem to be covered by the warning at the start of all DVDs (including soundtracks), which would include Audio Hijack, for instance. This all came about when the digital revolution made it possible to create exact copies. Back in the day, copying an LP to cassette, for instance, was not considered a problem, because you would lose a generation. BTW, ripping music DVDs can be problematic, as they are mastered differently than are "movies," and some Mac ripping programs have difficulty with them. Proceed cautiously and consider legal ramifications, but also consider retaining YOUR legal rights as well.

Satellite A300-1NO - How can I record sound?

Hello. I've got a Satellite A300-1NO machine, but I don't know how to set my sound card, because I want to record any sound that my sound card plays. For example listening an internet radio and record a track from it.
I can only set my microphone to record it, and can't see any more opportunity. Waveout or anything else....How could i solve this problem? I've got the 6.0.1.5599 sound driver.

Hello
If you want to record the sound that plays the sound card you need an additional program. So its not possible to record sound only with the sound driver.
There are many programs that can do this. I have good experience with No23 Recorder. Use Google to find it. Its freeware and easy to use.
Furthermore there are some programs that streams internet radio and record it too. But I dont use such a program but Google can help you to find one.

IMovie sound problem - a solution discovery

After downloading a video in iMovie and completing all the processes steps that I wanted to include, I tried to burn this project in iDVD. A problem arose with the sound when I played the iDVD preview. The sound was grabbled and distorted. I contacted AppleCare and got several possible solutions, but none of these solve my sound problem. I even tried to send it back to my camcorder and use my older G4 computer to make a DVD. However, the program could not be transferred to my camcorder either.
Now a strange discovery was found. On the sound line in iMovie (where I had recorded my voice program) was a small yellow dot. Yes, very small yellow dot. I wondered why this was there and clicked on it. The dot move up to the top bar where my video clips were stored. I thought maybe this had changed things, so I rendered the program to iDVD again and previewed it. The sound problem was gone. I successfully burn the program to DVD and found it was okay to view. I have shared this discovery with AppleCare and was asked to share this information in this discussion forum. I hope that others may benefit from solving a similar problem. I still don't know how the tiny yellow dot got on my sound line. If somebody knows, it could be interesting and helpful to avoid this problematic yellow dot. Good luck - Seapark36

Welcome to iMovie Discussions!
Thanks for mentioning this business of the "..very small yellow dot".
This sounds like a 'Bookmark'. Bookmarks can be placed on the Timeline, where your video plays, along the bottom of the computer's iMovie display, by purposely - or accidentally! - pressing the Apple key and 'B'. Bookmarks let you jump instantly back and forth through your movie (..to the next Bookmark..) by jumping forwards to the next one with Apple and ']', or backwards to the previous one with Apple (..also known as the 'Command' key..) and left-square-bracket '['.
They have, though, been known to interfere with proper playback when exporting (..'Sharing'..) to tape or to iDVD, so Karl's advice has been to delete all bookmarks when the editing's finished and just before 'Sharing'. All bookmarks can be instantly deleted by going to Markers on the top line menu and clicking Delete all Bookmarks.... (An individual bookmark can be deleted, once you've jumped to it, by pressing AltAppleB.)
The little diamond-shaped dots look almost identical to Chapter Marker diamond dots, which you can create by clicking the 'iDVD' tab at the lower-right beneath the right-hand 'pane' of the iMovie window and then clicking 'Add Chapter'. That creates a chapter marker to separate a particular section of your movie when it plays back from a DVD you've burned.
The Bookmarks and Chapter Markers seem (..to me!..) to have a very slightly different colour - maybe one's green and one's yellow: I don't know; I'm red-green colour blind, so I can't tell yellow from green, or green from red!
So perhaps you accidentally created a bookmark by unintentionally tapping the Apple key and then the letter 'B'. Removing it, and all other bookmarks, is generally acknowledged to smooth the process of exporting (..'Sharing'..) a movie project.
Thanks for posting your observation, and reminding us about how important it is to delete bookmarks before exporting!

Recording sound without Flash Media Server?

Hello,
I am totally new to Flash Media Server I need to be able to record sound via a Flash app and save it to a server preferably without the use of a Flash Media Server type setup. There is no requirement for live streaming.
Is it possible to record the sound and save in memory then pass the data/file as a query parameter to the server?
I don't even know if I've posted this in the correct place... any help/guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use any publisher to publish like FMLE and publish the streams to the application in applications folder suppose application name is sampleApp then create a folder in applications folder of FMS root directory and then keep the below mains.asc file which does the recording of published streams to the sampleApp application.
//main.asc
application.onConnect=function(clientObj)
return true;
application.onPublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){
trace("in application publish");
streamObj.record("record");
application.onUnpublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){
trace("on unpublish");
streamObj.record(false);
I think this should solve your problem.
Regards,
Amit

Recording sound with Soundbooth

I managed to record sound with the system 'sound recorder', but when I try to record sound in soundbooth with the same mic (simple cheap mic) there is nothing showing on the meter and nothing records. Can somebody please explain to me what is the problem?

While Premiere and Soundbooth both support a Windows audio standard called ASIO, both also include a driver that will let you use audio devices that do not support this format. The driver is configured by default, but may not always select the proper input port - depending on the audio device and what Windows reports to the application.
Fortunately, it's not too difficult to tinker around and find the right setting. In Soundbooth, choose Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware... In the dialog that pops up, you should see a drop-down labeled "Default Device" If you are running Soundbooth CS4, you should see "Soundbooth 2.0 WDM Sound" listed here. Click the Settings button, and in the new dialog, click the "Input" tab. Here you'll see a list of input ports for your selected audio device. Make certain your microphone port is enabled, and click OK a few times to get back to the main program. Click the Record button and make sure the microphone input is selected in the Port: dropdown. Try recording and see if this solves the problem.
If it still does not record, or you do not see the proper input to enable, you may need to verify the proper audio device is selected, or if you're running Windows Vista, that the input port you want to use is enabled in Window's Audio settings. You can find this by right clicking on the speaker icon in your system try and choose "Recording Devices."
Good luck!

The recording works in Notes, but not when I open Webcam and try to record from there. video recording works fine. I have had this computer less than a month and I am having a couple of problems with it. Still loving it though.

Recording sound between applications.

On my old G4 Mac running Tiger I used a free programme called Soundflower to record audio from any program into a recording app like Audacity or Garageband. Now I am using OS X Yosemite and Soundflower is not compatible. Is there a viable alternative? I looked on the App store and on-line, where there are alternatives, but after downloading them as trials they don't really work.
Soundflower was perfect as a conduit to let me record sounds coming from the computer and I miss not having that ability for the work that I need to do.
Many thanks.

Your subject mentions switching between sound playback applications, but the details in your message only mention a problem occurring when you open/close the laptop screen. Tell us more about the sound application switching you mentioned.
Did you perform a recovery because of this symptom, or did the symptom appear after you performed the recovery? And are the videos that you're watching on DVD media or are you streaming them in a web browser.

Recording sounds on the fly

Can anyone tell me if you can record sounds on the fly?
By that I mean during my voice recording and not in post production.
Our podcast is a live event. We do no editing or postproduction. Currently I use a PC to play sounds and feed them through the mixer into the line in on my iMac. I was hoping that GB3 podcast recording would allow me to just double click a file and have it added to my mix. I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
Most podcasters I know do zero post production. I can't understand why Apple wouldn't provide this feature.
Thanks,
Bry

Seems like we both have the same problem! I figured out how to assign an mp3 to a track then drag it to the "Musical Typing Keyboard" See this thread for details:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1512131��
You can also see my thread too, I appear to be asking for the same thing but dragging in each audio track seems way too complicated. I just want to play my audio clips from iTunes (from a little tempary playlist) during my show aka Daily Source Code. Let's figure this ***** out!
