Garageband picking up strange radio stations with Griffin Guitar cable?

I have just purchased the Griffin Garageband Guitar Cable and have it working with my electric guitar BUT I can hear in the background some foreign radio stations . This is particularly noticeable when using the guitar effects . Any solutions to this ?

that kind of sounds like the shield in the cable might be broken. it might be a good idea to return it for a replacement

Radio Station with Stratus/P2P?

Is it feasible to run an online radio station with RTMFP/Stratus/Flash? First, how does one get audio from a dj application such as Traktor INTO Flash? Second, if a peer disconnects, will those listeners connected to it get dropped audio or will it pick another peer? I'm sure there are other issues, but there's a start.
Thanks!

Flash Player can capture/publish audio from any of your computer's input sources via the Microphone class. and i believe that it's possible to make the audio output of some applications appear as a virtual microphone on Windows computers (but i don't know how -- i'm a Mac/Unix person).
unfortunately there is a bug where audio-only multicast streams won't play back; there must be at least some kind of video as well (but it could be a tiny frame at like 1 fps and a tiny bitrate to get the job done). this bug will be fixed in a future release of Flash Player.
the P2P multicast mesh has a lot of redundancy and, with the default multicast stream parameters, can usually distribute the stream even in the face of significant churn in the mesh (that is, peers arriving and leaving).
based on your question, i believe that our P2P multicast scheme is more sophisticated than you think it is. Matthew Kaufman's MAX2009 session covered this in detail; you might enjoy it. i encourage you to watch the session:
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/max-2009-develop/p2p-on-the-flash-platform-with-rtmfp
he talks in detail about multicast starting at 36 minutes and 25 seconds, but the entire session is worth watching.

Connecting my BASS using Griffin Guitar Cable

I just bought a Griffin Guitar Cable that works great for my Guitar when playing on Garageband, however I thought that it would work for Basses as well. I can't seem to get levels when plugging in my bass. Does anyone know for sure that Bass Guitars aren't compatible with the Griffin Guitar Cable?

it's not exactly a compatibility issue with the cable, it's just a cable, and that's where the issue is:

does the guitar have active pickups?

GB and Griffin Guitar Cable

Please correct me if I'm wrong but after reading these forums I've come to the conclusion that the Griffin Guitar cable is falsely advertised. It is NOT the only thing you need to connect your guitar to GB. I've tried it and there is no signal in the sys prefs --> audio --> input dialog.
What's the consensus on getting it connected? I've read about preamps, pedals, amps, iMics, etc. It would be nice to find something for less than $100 but without degrading the sound.
TIA for your help.
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I've used the various cables & adapters. They all appear to work, but you won't really get the best sound until you buy an audio interface which amplifies the signal from the guitar. The signal the guitar generates is somewhat quiet and when you boost it inside the computer, you add a lot of noise which effects the quality of the amp models. To get that real 'amp' feel, you need a bit of gear to prime the output of your guitar as it goes into the computer.
I recommend the Presonus Inspire 1394. This firewire audio I/O device was designed specifically for what you are doing. It sounds great and its the least expensive FW i/o you can buy at about $199.

Some internet radio stations with http protocol and mp3 format not working in AIR 2.0

First, i am sorry for my bad english. When I publish swf for Flash 10 player all stations in my list works. If I publish them for AIR 2.0 stations with adress end ":XXXX", where XXXX is port number, they cannot work. What is problem? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps, in the previous post I wasn't clear enough, so I'll try to make it better: I am using the Adobe Flash CS5 and AS3. I wrote the script for listening internet radio stations. In the station list I named only those that use HTTP protocol and mp3 format, cause I know the limits of Flash in audio streamings. If I publish FLA file in SWF for Flash 10 player all the stations can be listened.. If swf file is made for AIR 2.0 there's a problem: the stations with adress http://xxx.xxx:xxx/<something> can be listened, and those without extension behind the port number (:xxx) can not. Main parts of the script are:
startButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, listen);
req.url= "<adress>";
snd = new Sound();
snd.load(req);
private function listen(event:MouseEvent):void {
req = snd.play();
Example:
adress=http://scfire-ntc-aa08.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1010 - working
adress=http://www.radionovosti.rs:443/radionovosti56s.mp3 - working
adress=http://sh1.beotel.net:8002 - not working
adress=http://77.105.36.58:8881 - not working
It would be great if someone of Adobe employers explain to me what is the problem. Thanks.

I cannot play radio station with embedded player on Mountain Lion

Hi all,
Since buying my first ever Macbook Pro back in April 2012 I have had problems playing radion stations which appear to have embedded player (MWP?). I installed Flip4Mac and have the latest version of [Version 10.2 (603.6)], updated plug-ins for both Google Chrome and Mozila Firefox and still no joy.
The machine came with Lion 10.7 installed and I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8. This upgrade didn't help with the problem either. The radio station im am trying to listen to is www.radiovaleam.com
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
GGQB

Thanks Varjak Paw!
I know this particular radio station is very hit and miss as far as being on air is concerned, but the problem that I am having is that the controls on their page are not shown by my browsers on Mountain Lion, as shown in the picture below:
Any idea where I am going wrong here? All my systems seems to be up-to-date and working well, with the exception of instances like this particular one, and always to do with some media formats.
Best wishes,
GGQB

Has anyone noticed you can now listen to internet radio stations with TV?

I just noticed this last night. Months ago many of us were complaining of the inability to listen to internet radio stations on TV.
I had created a folder in iTunes for Internet radio stations. Last night I noticed those stations are all showing up on my TV screen and I can listen to them. Maybe this was added during Apple's last update?
I like it!

no it's been around since 2.0.1 or something
but it seems unstable
havent tested if it's still the case but people
reported in this forum that a boot of the atv
mean one have to delete the playlist
and make a new one to get the radio to work
and not long ago a guy reported that after a few hours
listning to radio the atv crash

Cable tracer picking up local radio station

Hello, Good Neighbors! I just started a new job, working in a mostly Cisco/Windows environment over Cat5, with various wireless AP's scattered around the area, and have noticed serious, generally intermittent slowness on the LAN. I understand there's about a bajillion possible reasons for slowness, but I'm wondering if one reason is crosstalk....
When using a cable tracer/toner to find a cable's end recently, I heard audible FM radio coming out of the toner speaker. Subsequent testing revealed this occurs in several different wiring closets, including the cat5 just prior to where it plugs into the PC's.
This can't be good, can it? Seems like that's crosstalk, with resultant degradation of the lan/wan traffic.
So is this a problem? And is the solution to ensure all equipment is properly grounded?
Thanks in advance!

This occurs at different places, but it appears we have quite a few Nortel Baystack 450-24t's, connecting via a Catalyst 4507r with a couple 48port switch modules in it.
I do want to bump into the relevant switch(es) and check for errors, but need to get access info from my coworkers (I'm that new to this position).
I ask about the FM Radio and grounding, because my new coworkers assure me that is not a problem, and they have not routinely grounded things.
Let me check error counters next, but I'm really curious about the FM radio.

No Radio stations with AppleTV 2.0

Was this not a feature that Apple where going to add?

My mistake. Just drag and drop a station into a Playlist

Connecting to Base Stations with an ethernet cable

Hi. Can anyone help figure this out please.
We have two airport extreme base stations at opposite ends of the building with one connected to the internet and printer etc and the other extending the network so everyone can access these services and each other.
Because they're some distance apart, we've connected the two base stations by ethernet cable with the second base station extending the network in Bridge Mode.
I can't figure out whether the ethernet cable from the main base station should go into the WAN or LAN ports on the back of the other base station. I've tried both and at the moment neither seem to be working.
Both base stations are brand new and the most recent model.
Can anyone advice on which port to sue and any settings I should be paying attention to please.
Cheers.

Welcome to the discussion area, chriscurtis!
I can't figure out whether the ethernet cable from the main base station should go into the WAN or LAN ports on the back of the other base station. I've tried both and at the moment neither seem to be working.
Suggest that you connect the ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your main AirPort Extreme (AEBS) to the WAN (circle icon) on the remote AEBS. You may need to refer to some settings on your main AEBS to configure the remote AEBS correctly.
To effectively "extend" the network that your main AEBS is creating, you would configure the remote AEBS as follows using AirPOrt Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab below the icons to name your device, establish a device password and adjust Time Zone Settings
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network (Not Extend as you might think because Extend is only used if you are connecting devices using wireless only. You are connecting using Ethernet)
Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your main AEBS network
Radio Mode = Automatic
Radio Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Exact same setting as on your main AEBS
Wireless Password = Exact same password as your main AEBS network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update to save settings and you should be good to go. You have what is known as a "roaming" network because computers will automatically connect to the AEBS with the best signal as they "roam" around the building. The ethernet ports on the remote AEBS will be active as well in case you need to plug a device in at that location. Post back on any questions that you may have.

GarageBand w/ Griffin Imic+guitar cable

Ok Hi all, first post but I've been skimming the forums for a few weeks. I just bought a 15" powerbook with the works. I'm trying to mess around with garageband so I picked up the griffin guitar cable and imic (re: college kid on a budget) and have everything setup and installed correctly.
I'm able to record myself playing, but the volume input isn't very high. If I'm picking/strumming, its tolerable, but not adequate. If I play fingerstyle, you can BARELY hear it. I'm not sure where my problem lay.
I have everything turned up to max, as far as I can tell. Is there any software that I can use to adjust my input volume further? All the software that appears to have come with Imic is junky and not what I need, unless I'm overlooking something.
Thanks in advance,
J

Pardon me for stepping in but I have another problem with a similar setup, I sure would appreciate your thoughts on this. I have a 1GB Mac Mini hooked up to a Griffin iMic and the Griffin Guitar cable in order to connect to my electric guitar. I am able to record into Garageband, however, there is at least a half second delay between the time I pick a cord and it comes out of my speakers (monitor enabled). So, basically, it is impossible to play with this lag... I have the latest version of Garageband and all the updates to Tiger, what to do? Is it the iMic? Is it the Mac Mini? Is it a "magical" setting in Garageband? Is this even possible or am I facing a lost cause, really do I have to buy an iMac before the monitor lag goes away??? Sure would appreciate some advice, I'm sure I'm not the first one to experience this.

How to stream talk radio on iTunes 12. Was able to do so on iTunes 11, but can't find the radio stations on iTunes 12.

Just upgraded to iTunes 12 - and now cannot stream local radio stations on iTunes. I've looked under the RADIO section but the upgrade deleted my stations. When I try to ADD a radio station - the iTunes 12 Search doesn't find it... I was able to find and stream this same radio station with iTunes 11. The iTunes 12 upgrade wiped out my history and radio stations. Has anyone figured out how to add back individual radio stations?

Hey bbhillfarm,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble finding the Internet Radio section of the new iTunes 12. The following resource should point you in the correct direction:
Listen to Internet radio - iTunes Help
http://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/12/#/itns2946
Tune in to Internet stations
1. Click the Internet Radio button near the top left of the iTunes window (if you don’t see it, click ).
2. To see the available stations, click the triangle next to the type of music you want to listen to.
3. To tune in, double-click a station.
If you use a dial-up modem to connect to the Internet, choose a station with a bit rate of less than 48 kilobits per second (kbps) for best results. To see a station’s bit rate, select the station, then choose File > Get Info.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Phone picks up radio station

I live in Hull, and just recently my phone has started to pick up WBZ at a level such that I am unable to use the phone. WBZ sent me an inline rfi phone filter, but it doesn't help.
I don't want to have to rewire my house. Does anyone have any practical solutions to this problem?
Thanks
Dan S in Hull

You can try using a different telephone. Some telephones can hear radio stations much easier than others. You can also try experimenting with different lengths of phone cords. Flat wire acts like an antenna. You can have Verizon install radio noise suppressors at the telephone and a rfi filter outside where the line enters your home.
