Help - trying to record

I am a complete Newbie to Mac and GarageBand. I want to take audio from a portable recording device, via an XLR cable from this device to a 1/8-inch jack into the back of my iMac, and record it into GarageBand. However, I can't seem to shut off the built-in mic in the iMac, because the recording is picking up ambient noise.
How do I switch the mic to the 1/8-inch input jack in the back of the iMac? (I've created a new track, turned off the metronome and activated the record buttons -- but I still get noise from some mic that is in the iMac rather than getting only the sound track from the portable recording device)

Sounds like it, yeah.
assuming that device is meant to connect to a missing console via XLR runs, it would be typically plugged into a mic bus, which is expecting a weak signal (your mac is not: http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#micline )
you might be able to jury rig things if you can jack into a stereo system and take teh stereo system's line-out to connect to your mac.

  • Help trying to record a VM audio message from my Blackberry 8100 to my PC.

    I'm trying to save a voice mail message from my Blackberry to my PC.I was told that if I used Phantom Cable Male2.5mm to Male3.5mm, that I would be able to simply plug it in to my ear phone jack on my blackberry and my Audio Line-In jack on my PS and then use my recording software to capture the sound from my phone. For some reason, the sound does not appear to be going through the cable. When I plug it in to the phone, I can still hear the sound clearly through the normal ear speaker on the phone. It seems the phone is not recognizing the cable. Someone has said that this may be due to the my cable being a stereo to stereo cable and the the Blackberry may use a 4 conductor jack for the earpice. Can anyone shed any light on this, or at least give me a suggestion of how I can transfer an audio message from my blackberry to my pc?
    Kind regards,
    Mike

    Go to http://www.cbwproductions.com/vwclientsorder.html. It's $10 for the first voicemail you want recorded and $5 for each additional voicemail, but if you really want the voicemail saved, it's definitely worth it!

  • Trying to record a 500*375 end project ... help!

    Hi. I'm using TCS, and am using Captivate that comes with it. (v 3.01 build 589).
    I'm trying to use Captivate to record software demonstrations, and have chosen this tool over Camtasia. I am finding I am limited in a few areas and am hoping it's just me.  I'm trying to record in a small size (500 width by 375 height, the size is not negotiable). I need to be able to crop certain slides in order to make the text big enough to read, crop different areas of others, even record different sized slides in one project so that the demo is usable. I know that Captivate does not have Camtasia's pan-zoom capabilities, but can it do other things that will work the same? I tried a zoom area and it got fuzzy... I tried resizing the project and it cropped all my slides (even the ones to stay full-sized...).
    I am recording in demonstration-recording mode, on a screen resolution of 800*600, and a recording size of 779*467 (which is admittedly somewhat arbitrary, I'm just playing guess and try again with the recording size).
    Any help would be appreciated!!
    Thanks in advance,
    Adriana Harper

    Break the project up so that the differently sized slides are in different projects, perhaps.
    When you resize, it does the whole project, not just certain slides. You can daisy chain your output together so it looks like one project, even though it is actually comprised of many small chunks of varying sizes.
    Captivate 4 has a panning function, but not sure if the zoom works well enough for what you want. You can download the Cap 4 trial for free and it lasts a month.
    Hope this helps,

  • Captivate 3 not listing app I'm trying to record. Help!

    I'm evaluating Captivate 3 and was trying to test it. I tried
    to record an activity in my company's application by selecting
    Record new project, then selecting Software simulation,
    Application. Then I got a dialog box that asked me to specify the
    application I wanted to record, but it listed all open applications

  • Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones.  Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

    Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
    Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio.  I have all that figured out.  I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs.  What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix.  I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone.  I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone.  I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
    Problems I have run into so far:
    -Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone.  Can't figure this out
         -Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower.  Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
    -When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
         -I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't      figure it out
    -Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
    Summed up:
    Trying to record:
    -Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
    -Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
    -Record screen gameplay through Screenium
    I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps.  That is done and these are my current settings:
    Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record.  Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
    Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel)  Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
    I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it.  I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
    My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5  2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3  (If any of this is imporant)

    Hey guys,
    I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
    What software are you using to record your game?
    If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.

    guess what it says java file. So yes i'm sure. Sarcasm. Not the best way to encourage a total stranger to help you. Then there's
    Sorry if i wasn't more clear but was that response needed?No it wasn't needed, but I'm not the one asking for help so I have the luxury of not worrying too much about it. It's extremely frustrating trying to drag relevant information out of someone, and makes one less inclined to bother.
    Anyways, there's still nothing in this thread that actually explicitly says "there is a file called VolcanoApp.java in the directory where I'm running javac from" and I really can't be bothered banging my head against the wall any longer. You've made a silly mistake, or a false assumption. We all do it from time to time. My advice is, take a break, go for a walk and re-visit this in a while. You'll probably spot the mistake right away.

  • Need Help with Sound Recording

    Hi,
    I'm a Comp. Sys. Eng. student in my final year and I've been trying to record sound with java for a couple of months now and its driving me stupid. I've looked around on just about every java source site I could find and have found many similar examples of sound recording, none seem to work on my machine. The problem is that I keep on getting either IOExceptions, or empty .wav files (as in the code below). The code included below is a shortened and modified version of some code I got from jsresources.org, the full link is http://www.jsresources.org/examples/AudioCommon.java.html.
    I have not had any experience with multimedia in java before.
    Can somebody please tell me what is wrong with this code? or is my java environment to blame?
    Am I declaring my AudioFormat correctly?
    Am I controlling my AudioInputStream correctly?
    I'm using JDK1.4 in eclipse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                   Asking for a line is a rather tricky thing.
                   We have to construct an Info object that specifies
                   the desired properties for the line.
                   First, we have to say which kind of line we want. The
                   possibilities are: SourceDataLine (for playback), Clip
                   (for repeated playback)     and TargetDataLine (for
                   recording).
                   Here, we want to do normal capture, so we ask for
                   a TargetDataLine.
                   Then, we have to pass an AudioFormat object, so that
                   the Line knows which format the data passed to it
                   will have.
                   Furthermore, we can give Java Sound a hint about how
                   big the internal buffer for the line should be. This
                   isn't used here, signaling that we
                   don't care about the exact size. Java Sound will use
                   some default value for the buffer size.
              TargetDataLine     targetDataLine = null;
              DataLine.Info     info = new DataLine.Info(TargetDataLine.class,

  • Trying to record through soundboard in Sound Studio?

    Hi all-
    I have been trying to record an audio clip into Sound Studio 2.2.4. The default is for the MacBook Pro to play the clip through the speakers and for Sound Studio to record through the microphone, in which case I can get good levels but the recording is echo-ey and bad. When I switch to the only other source option, Built-in Input, I get no signal or levels in Sound Studio at all.
    Am I doing something foolish? Does SS not have this capacity? Or do Macs not use the soundboard the way a PC does? Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Matthew

    I have a very similar problem on my iMac. I've tried 3 sound programs and none of them can record internally, without having to resort to speakers out mic in. Each program has an option for internally recording but the problem appears to be my own sound preferences as they just list the mic, the line in and a blue tooth device called LAVINIA that I know nothing about!

  • Using Pro Logic X to record. I have several tracks and I'm trying to record an audio track. I have the mic connect to Avalon 737 then into apollo interface. When I record all track are being recorded into that track. I can't just get the audio to record.

    Thanks for responding. Everything seems to work right except for the when I plug into the 737. Ok let me see if I can be more clear. I had this set up done with two representatives of Neumann, and DBox. Here it is I hope this helps. 32 Channel snake (24 Inputs 8 outputs) Channels 1-8 from snake to my Octopre for Drums. From Octropre output quarter inch lines into the Apollo 2, quarter inch input. This is so that the Apollo 2 is taking the drum tracks. Snake Channel 9-12 into Apollo 1 channels 1-4 xlr. Snake Channel 13-16 into Apollo 2 Channels 1-4 xlr. Snake Channel 17 into the 737, output of 737 into Channel 5 of the Apollo 1 quarter inch.
    Ok The Dbox. Sum output L&R into channel input 7&8 of Apollo 1. Apollo 1 output channels 1-8 into summing input channel 1-8 of Dbox. Apollo 1 main L&R going to main analog input L&R of Dbox. Spid out to DAW input of Dbox. I have both ADAT of both Apollos connected by optical wire. Also have port 2 of Apollo 1 into port 1 of Apollo 2 connected by Firewire.  Let me know. Hope I got it right. Thanks for responding.

  • Severe static when trying to record electric guitar

    I've been trying to record a clean electric guitar and every recording is just covered in heavy hissing static sound. This didn't happen when I recorded an acoustic guitar through a microphone. I have an electric guitar going into a small amp, with the amp level set on the clean channel at a very low setting, then the headphone/output is running directly into my M-Audio FastTrack USB interface, which is connected to the computer. I have adjusted the "recording level" in garage band so that the signal never gets close to the red in the individual instrument track. The "output" knob on the FastTrack is set relatively low also, about "4" out of 10. When I play back the recorded track, the master level meter never goes into the red either. Yet no matter what volume I record at I'm getting this strong crackling/hissing as if it was extremely overdriven.
    Related question: When I play on the electric guitar, is it supposed to show an indication in the LCD box, as it does when I'm playing on my midi controller? It doesn't have the little indicator light showing signal, nor does the master level indicator, when I'm recording. Only the individual track level indicator shows the signal coming in. Maybe this is normal...
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    OK, well I solved my own problem through trial and error. Rant: I switched to GB from ProTools on the theory that GB was supposed to "just work" and I want to be a musician, not an audio engineer. Here is how I fixed the static: one of my garage band books told me I could set the Garage Band audio preferences to "System" default, and then set my computer's audio preferences to my audio interface for the ins and outs, because I wanted to play all of computer's audio, whether in garageband or not, through my reference studio monitors. Well doing it this way results in massive static when recording a real instrument, for no apparent reason. So to fix this, you have to set Garageband's own audio in/out settings to your audio interface, NOT to the system settings. This caused the static in my recordings to completely disappear. Go figure.

    Sounds like you accidently de-selected "Software Monitoring"
    and/or
    If you don't know what a function does... in this case, "Low Latency Mode" don't enable it. I suggest consulting the manual and read up on Low Latency Mode... it could even be causing the problem you describe depending on what plugins are being used.
