Editing sound from a radio interview

I need to excerpt 15 minutes of interview from a two-hour radio program. Is QuickTime Pro the correct app for this purpose? Should I use GarageBand instead? What's the intelligent, and hopefully easy-ish way to accomplish this?
Either application will work about equally well and with roughly equal ease. However, GarageBand does offer more editing/enhancement features and was specifically designed for this type of work.

Macbook Pro recording sound from external radio

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how I can record an external digital radio with my Macbook Pro. As a backgrounder, I am able to do it on my old white Macbook because it has a line-in port, so I just connect a 3.5mm cable from the radio to the Macbook and then I have software (Audio Hijack Pro) to hijack and record it.
However, as we all know, the new Macbook Pros have done away with the line-in port. And the Sound options in System Preferences don't seem to have a function allowing me to fiddle with the headphone port (apparently, earlier models had a function in System Preference that allowed you to turn the headphone port into line-in) but this new model doesn't have that option anywhere.
So I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether the USB ports or even Thunderbolt can RECEIVE sound from an external device such as a digital radio. I have seen cables that are 3.5mm to USB so I think getting the cable to connect the radio to the Mac is possible, but will it actually receive the sound or just do nothing? Or is there some other way I can record an external device I'm not thinking of, bearing in mind I don't want to use the Mac's microphone to do it, as I will of course get all other ambient sound in the room at the time, and I don't want to rely on an internet stream of said radio.
Thanks,
Joe

What if it was a digital radio, would that make things easier by way of using just a 3.5mm to USB cable? Especially because a quick search of a USB Audio Interface brought up some expensive results.
Also, as a possible alternative, after some extensive research online, I've found an iMic USB Audio Device by Griffin that is essentially an adaptor with a USB cable on one end and a Line In port on the other, thus allowing me to connect a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable from the digital radio to the adapter, and then the adapter goes into the MBP USB port. It's on Amazon and it claims to function as a way to plug microphones and other external audio equipment to it. It seems pretty straightforward, which sometimes has me thinking it's too good to be true.
The output from your radio is analog, regardless of whether the radio is 'digital' or not.
You need a USB audio interface. The iMic is a USB audio interface.

Sound from apps/radio/browsers clicks not working after IOS 8.3 update

aafter the new update 8.3 my iPad sounds are not working like "app games" "app news" " sound clicks from keyboard and browser, is someone else having problems with sounds, however, the speakers are working, I went to "music" and it is fine, sound from web browsers stream is fine or playback videos are all ok.
any ideas, I'm lost in this issue, besides the new update made my iPad faster, as well as, the wifi.
how can I contact apple support??. cant send even an email to this guys for an answer? My service tags are over.
thanks, community, I hope some one can advice me. also, I did unistall and install all my apps.

Check that the mute switch (top right side switch above volume control) is pushed up OR
pull up from the bottom of the screen to bring up control Center & make sure the bell with a line going through it (mute) is not highlighted. It would only be there if the side switch is set to lock screen rotation.
Settings->Sounds->check the volume slider is up & that lock sounds & keyboard clicks are enabled.
If the first two don't work, try a general reset:
Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. You won't lose data but will have to log back into your wifi network(s)

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps

Crackling sound from right speaker - Envy 14 Beats edition

The right speaker on my Envy 14 Beats edition has a crackling/static sound when playing any sort of sound from it. I assumed it was a faulty speaker since its just the right speaker.. I've talked to HP support and they had me send it in.
After two weeks I got it back only to find that they simply changed some audio configurations in an attempt to fix it. Nothing has changed and the problem still exists.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there is some sort of fix for this without me having to send it back to them to replace the speaker.

Hello tedebare73. I understand your notebook is making a weird sound from the left speaker.
Are there any other electronic devices (guitar amplifiers, cell phones, speakers) around the notebook? These can all cause very strange noises.
Try hard resetting the notebook as well. Here are the steps.
Shut down the notebook.
Remove the battery and AC power.
Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds three times.
Replace the battery and AC power.
Verify whether the problem persists.
Finally, if neither of the above have an effect try removing and reinstalling the driver. Here are instructions.
Go to your Device Manager.
Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
Right click on your audio device and select "Uninstall."
Reboot the notebook. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver.
Verify whether the problem persists.
Let me know the results. Have a wonderful day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"
Click the "Accept as Solution" button if I resolve your issue.

Edit/Delete Popping Sound from Voice File

Hello. I'm trying to remove a popping sound from a voice file that I extracted from iMovie and imported into Garage Band. I am struggling to figure out how to do this. Any help is appreciated. I feel it should be simple and I'm just overlooking something, but I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks

You don't specify what the popping sound is. If it's an isolated sound, it's easy just to cut it out. If it's something like a plosive, like the p in the beginning of a word, it's a little harder. Anyway, double-click the audio region that it's in so it opens in the Editor window, set the magnification very high and find the pop. Cut to the left and right of it with cmd-t and delete the annoying bit.

Editing Sound File and erases all sound from slides

I created a 19 slide project. As Captivate does a
poor job of determining when sound starts vs when a slide appears,
I wanted to move the audio from slide 1 to slide 2. I did that and
all the audio on the remaining slides was gone! Is this a bug or
did I do something wrong?

Actually, the sound from all slides wound up imbedded within
the first slide. Now, how do I get everything back in
sync???

Sound Blaster Live 24.bit LD No sound from online TV or Ra

[color="#ff0000"]I had the new Sound Blaster Li've 24.bit installed in my computer, at first I had trouble getting sound out of my back two speakers but after the fourth day, I finally got that figured out. Now I am having problems with my tv and radio online. I am using winFM 5.3 and I can not get any sound though my speakers. I get sound from Windows Media Player or either CD/DVD player. I know it has to be something really simple but I have yet to find the problem. Can someone please help me.Message Edited by determinedone on 03-02-20060:2 AM

Does the software have any options in relation to audio, such as selecting the audio device you want to use?
If Windows Media Player and other applications work, then it's likely the card is working fine. Check another application if you can, such as WinAmp, to see if that works.

Clicking/tickling sound from hard disk

my macbook pro is making a slight, low tickling sound from right side of trackpad, probably the hard disk. this freaked me out, should I be worried ? I heard it on other laptops, but it's getting really frequent today, is it faulty ?
Message was edited by: phantom 3444

I've got a new Macbook Pro 13" for less than 2 weeks. After a few days of the 1st week, i noticed the "click" sound (occurs every 30 second) from the bottom right of the MBP. I thought it's hard disk problem hence i call Apple and sent it to the authorized repair center. They checked and they ordered a hard disk replacement (not sure if they agree if it's a hard disk failure). I've waited for a week but was impatient, so i decided to get a new Western Digital 500gb 5400RPM HDD and the MBP back without the replacement hdd from Apple.
The result, no sound during installation of Snow Leopard but after using it for one day, the click sound came back. I'm pretty sure it's not a hard disk faulty issue. Can anyone advise on how to solve this ? I've read that it may be due to the hdapm issue, but does anyone notice this problem too ? Thanks.

Can I stream the sound from a video running on my apple tv to my wireless speakers using airplay?

I have living room speakers connected to an airport express and available via airplay from my computer, ipad2 and iphone which is great for playing music. My question is, can I use those speakers to play sound from videos running on my apple tv? For instance if I use airplay to run a video on apple tv from my computer or iOS device, can I have the audio play on my speakers connected to an airport express? It would be amazing to be able to use the speakers simultaneously with the apple tv as they are both on the same home sharing network. Possible?

No. But, are your speakers only connected to the AE or are they also connected to an amplifier?
You would need to use a Toslink cable to go from the Apple TV to the speakers/amp.
I don't use this or know a lot about it, but it is wildly popular, inexpensive and may be of help:

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.

VFL Speaker sound from both the front speakers while FR sound is not coming out at all.

I have a creative gigaworks s750 connected to a xtreme gamer sound card. The system was working absolutely fine but now it has started behaving very strangely; system is playing back Front Left Speaker sound from both the front speakers while Front Right sound is not coming out at all. If i click the front right speaker in audio console speaker setup wizard, no sound comes. However when i click the front left speaker, sound comes out of both speakers. I counter checked it with playing 5.1 dts movie and muting all the speakers except the front left one from ac3 filter, sound came out of both the front speakers. However when i muted all the channel except the front right, no sound was coming out of front right speaker.

Just want to add another relieved reader of this thread. I had lost the sound to my speakers even though I had sound to headphones. I was convinced it was a damaged headphone jack because I had pushed the headphone plug in harder the last evening when my wife complained that she could still hear the speakers while I listened with the headphones. The next morning--no speaker sound.
I spent a few hours searching the web to see how to disassemble a satellite A505 and get to the jack. But I wasn't even sure I could get a proper replacement jack that fit, and I was concerned that small damage, say to the ribbon connectors could render the computer useless--a large price to pay for just missing audio.
Fortunately, I stumbled onto this thread and I recalled I had put the unit to sleep the night before--something I don't usually do, but I didn't want all the Chrome web sites to have to reload so I just put it to sleep.
When I put it to sleep again and fired it up--Sound! I am so glad to find this solution so I just want to let people know it remains a viable option.

Stereo sound from all speake

Hii, I have a X-Fi Xtreme music and a 5. speaker setup, can someone tell me how can I get stereo sound from all of my speakers? thanks in advance.

Hmmm, I don't have an X-Fi, but to answer your question the first thing someone needs to know is how you have your speakers connected. If, for example, you're running throgh a receiver you need to separately output each channel (using 3.5mm mini plug to RCA cables/converters you would buy at Radio Shack) to the external decoder of your receiver. Of course, in that insance, you would output the DD source stream from the optical out of the card through the optical in of the receiver; stereo playback would be from a 2. signal. I run both configs on mine. Now, if you're running computer speakers already plugged into the correct outputs of the sound card that's a different question, and it's one I can only relate from my experience with the Audigy 2 software.
