How can I ONLY capture AUDIO in FCE 4?

How can I set my FCE 4 capture setting to ONLY capture the AUDIO from my video tape?
I only need to the audio, and don't want to bother with the video in order to save space
thanks very much

Final Cut Express does not support audio-only capture. Never has. You can only capture video+audio.
I suggest capturing the video+audio. Then in FCE place the entire clip in a sequence, unlink the audio tracks from the video track and then export the audio track to AIFF. Once you have your audio file you can delete the video clip from your hard drive to save space.
Alternatively, connect the audio line out from your device (a VCR?) to your Mac's audio line in and record the audio in QuickTime or any audio editing app. Keep in mind that if you plan to use the audio in FCE it needs to be AIFF, 16-bit (aka 48KHz) stereo.

How can I create an audio CD from the audio only portion of my iMovie?

Hello, I brought in about 50 min of Digital video into iMovie, I separated (split) the audio from the video, I unlocked the audio, I deleted the video, and now I want to just create an audio CD from the audio that is left.
Can I do this? and if yes how? If I can not, how can I create an Audio CD from on my G5 off a tape on my digital camcorder?
Any help would be apprecaited.

This is how:
Go to:
'File'
'Share'
'Quicktime'
'Expert Settings'
'Audio as AIFF' or pick your brand of compression.
Drag and drop the resulting file into iTunes.
Enjoy!
P.S. - You didn't need to delete the video but I think that'll be okay.

How can I copy an audio effect from a clip and paste it to another clip in the same timiline...With FCPro 7 it was all so fast........

The advantage goes to FCP7 if you allow that it can copy and paste filters, audio and video, transformations, and other attributes separately.
You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

Record your voice using iPhone (for ringtone only 35 secs or under are valid), sync iPhone with iTunes.
In iTunes the recorded voice is listed under Music as some_numbers.m4a.
Right click on the item and choose Create AAC version.
Drag the converted voice onto the desktop.
Delete the voice copy in iTunes. (important step)
On desktop, rename the some_number.m4a to something_more_intelligent.m4r
Drag it back to iTunes and you will find it under Tones.
Now select it (for sync) and connect your iPhone, do a sync.
If everything works out, it will be in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
Now choose a contact you want to assign this ringtone, tap Edit and add the ringtone.
Hope this helps.

How can I record an Audio Instrument (saxophone) and listen to a reference track at the same time?

How can I record an Audio Instrument, and listen to a reference track at the same time?

Are you using an external audio controller or the line-in and headphone jacks on the side of your computer? You shouldn't have an issue using headphones when you're recording through the line-in but you may want to make sure you have monitoring on and it's going to the right place.
If you're using an external audio controller, try making an aggregate device combining the controller and the "built-in output" into the same device. Go to Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup, click the "+" sign at the bottom left to make a new device and check the "use" boxes to the left of the physical devices you want to use as part of that aggregate device. That is how I use the computer's speakers or headphones to monitor my input as opposed to only being able to use the output on my audio controller.
Now that I see some of the questions on the side of this page I realize that the 13" MBPs seem to have only one combined input/output jack... That is an incredibly stupid feature. What on Earth could possibly justify that design decision? I suppose if that's the problem you're having you'll have to buy some sort of splitter (if they even make them) or get an external audio controller like an Apogee Duet or something along those lines. I would be furious if they combined those two jacks on all of the MBPs.

How Can I select an Audio Hardware with AudioQueue ?

Hello,
Apple is providing this Demo Code...
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/AudioQueueTest/AudioQueueTest.dmg
but how can I select the Audio Hardware? I want to write an application that should output to 4 different USB Audio Cards. Is that possible?
I am searching for hours now
Thanks,
Klaus

I confirm your issue as I just tried an audio CD in my XP laptop. "All Files" showed only the 44 byte .cda files and no others. QuickTime couldn't open them (error -2048).
I also tried "Open File" with version 7 Pro and it couldn't open.
Odd that I get the option to open using iTunes and it opens and plays just fine. Since iTunes uses the QuickTime engine I would have thought QuickTime could read the files directly.
The same audio CD inserted in my Mac allowed me to double click any track and it opened directly in QuickTime Player. The files show as .aiff files measured in MB's.
Windows users could open an audio CD in iTunes and then convert to .aiff (no compression) and then open the .aiff in QuickTime.
I guess I should have tried myself before getting your hopes up. I apologize.

How can I join/merge audio in 1 step?

How can I join/merge audio in 1 step? Or... 2 in Logic X.
I want join all the audio in this track(image)

I see only three steps, and one of 'm (3.) should not be necessary unless you've created a take folder or folder track somehow?
In step 2. you are not joining tracks, but regions (on the track).
I do understand why Apple does not "fix" this: nothing's broken, that's why. If the Logic dev team would listen to all these "it's too complicated" complaints, Logic Pro would eventually end up being iTunes with a record button.
Two tips: learn the terminology (knowing the difference between tracks and regions, for starters) and use the search function in the manual. If that still doesn't get you anywhere, ask us.
Have a nice day!

How can I record the audio for a radio station I'm streaming LIVE?

To reduce or make the room noise as low as possible (to get the best audio recording), I recommended the OP to try to record the radio live streaming audio in a silent room. Does it makes any sense to you....??
No. Preferably one records using direct input.
Your comment It doen’t matter whether he/she is recording the audio from the macbook or any external speakers because if the room is noisy than obviously the ambient room noise will be recorded. is pretty silly really. Think about what you just wrote.
And you do have a bad habbit in your posts of over using ???????? & !!!!!!!!!!!!!

After syncing with itunes on the pc, my newly purchased audio books vanished from the ipad, and I can't copy it back! I've tried copying the audio book back into the library, but that didn't help.
Also couldn't get iTunes on my iCloud! there was no where to select on the icloud dashboard so that I can add iTunes ... Help!

How can i quick edit Audio( increase bass) of a single file?

Hi everyone,
Im new to FCPX. I have a bunch of videos of music gigs ive played and would like to increase the bass (via equalizer) on most of them. All these videos are already converted into an "Apple Friendly" format and are sitting comfortably in my Itunes Video folder. How can i quickly increase the bass in each video (Without having to tediously export one by one) in FCPX and do a quick overwrite over the original video without having to make an EXTRA file?
THanks

ok.
"Why don't you increase the bass with the equalizer in FCP? Do it to one clip and use paste attributes to apply it to other clips."
1) How do i copy the attributes after making the changes??
2) How do i paste the attributes onto the next file?
Thanks.

How can I only receive my iMessages to my phone without it going to my iPad as well?

Didn't know which forum this would go to, so I figured I would ask. How can I only receive my iMessages on my phone without it going always to my iPad, without turning iMessage on my iPad off?

Go to Program Files - Windows Searchqu Toolbar. Then click on uninstall app. It must be good. This s--- doesn't appear in the ADD/REMOVE PROG.
if you can't escape from him, go in partition C and search "Searchqu" and delete everything that shows you the "searchqu".
