Hi Ted
You can make Audio Recordings using a free app. called Sound Recorder 2.1, but the files are saved in QuickTime and are a little hard to organize and manage.

Take a look at Recorder 5 for $15 it may have the features that your looking for.

Also note that the iMac's Line-In Jack is Line Level and if you wish to use a PC or non-amplified mic
your going to need a Griffin iMic or MXL iBooster.

How do I make a voice record on the iMac?

I want to add a voice recording to a Keynote slide show. How do I proceed?

You can make an audio recording in the QuickTime X player - File>New Audio Recording and if necessary use the down-pointing triangle on the right to select the microphone or other source.
However as to adding audio to a Keynote presentation the best place to ask would be in the Keynote Forum.

How do I make an audio recording?

Is this a standard feature or an app I need to download to be able to record, save and send audio files?

You can download a 3rd party app but I don't think you have sound recorder built in. This is from searching other forums for the Turbo. The icon you may see in your apps if any, is for voice commands or voice searching. You can send audio in short clips via the messaging app where you create the sound at that point and attach.

How do I make a quality recording of streaming music (and get into iTunes)?

I'd like to make a recording of some streaming music. I called Apple Care and the agent suggested using Quick Time. Yes, I can make an audio recording, but it included a lot of background noise. (I could even hear myself tapping on my computer when I listened to the playback.) Next, I tried using Soundflower because in the "Internal Audio"section of this page, I got the impression that I wouldn't be using my "live" mic on my MacBook Air, but it did. Again, I could hear background noise.
Is there a way to make a better recording of streamed music from the internet...without being a technical wiz? I am not. Thanks for your help!

If you do a general web search you will find multiple answers. iTunes does not do what you want to do, nor any Apple software as far as I am aware. Possibly what you are doing is strictly speaking skirting legality (if the stream producer doesn't simply make a simple way to download) which makes providing an answer on Apple's forum (where according to terms of use we have to remain legal) complicated.

then you're not using GB08, you're using GB2 (this is the 08 forum). always best to post in the forum for the version you're actually using because the answers are different depending upon version. nevertheless, read this for your solution:

When I make a audio recording, I miss the breathing before the first note using metronome click

When I make a audio recording, using count in metronome click, I miss the breathing before the first tone. I hear very abrupt the first tone. I like some environment before, the acoustic of the hall

So... if i understand what you are trying to achieve...
When recording sing a single short note (To actually start the recording and then wait a bar before you start actually singing your music.. You can then go back and edit out the single note leaving the ambience... and your breathing intact and recorded.

Close the QT X player without saving the recording. If you have already saved the recording, then locate the saved file and trash it in the normal manner. If you are referring to a temporary or saved file entry that shows up in the "Open Recent" list, the system will automatically reclaim the space as part of the routine system clean up if/when the file is no longer available. If you simply wish to immediately remove it from your "Open Recent" list before the system removes it, then use the "Clear Menu" option to manually clear the "Open Recent" list.

How can I make a "print screen" on my iMac?

How can I make a Print Screen of my iMac? Also catching only a portion of the video?

Hello redlion53,
It sounds like you would like to take screenshots of either the entire screen or a portion of the screen. This article outlines how to perform this function:
OS X: Taking pictures of your screen
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5775
Take a picture of your entire screen
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-3. The screen shot is added to your desktop.
Take a picture of some of your screen
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, and then drag the crosshair pointer to select the area. Hold Shift, Option, or the Space bar while you drag to resize the selection area. To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you release the mouse button.
Take a picture of a specific window
Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, press the Space bar, move the camera pointer over the window to highlight it, and then click.
This works with open Finder windows and most application windows.
To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
Take a picture of a menu
Click the menu to reveal its contents, then press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and drag the crosshair pointer over the area.
To take a picture of the menu without the title, hover over the menu, press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and the Space bar.
To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
Additional Information
In Mac OS X v10.6 and later, the screenshots are saved as PNG files on the desktop. They are automatically named "Screen shot (date and time).png".
You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab app.
Some apps, such as DVD Player, may not let you take pictures of their windows.
To capture a partial screen or a window selection to the Clipboard instead of a desktop file, use Command-Shift-Control-4.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

You will only know about the hard drive when you try to access it in TDM from your other computer. If you cannot boot into TDM mode or if the drive does not appear on the new computer's Desktop then it is likely bad.
What you are thinking about as a recovery disk is the Recovery HD normally created when you install Lion or later on the computer. You boot from it as follows:
Boot Using Command+R keys:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.

How do you make MP3 audio files?

I'm running for public office, and a local newspaper invited candidates to submit statements, along with MP3 audio files for display on its website.
So how does one make an MP3 audio file? Is this something I can do with my MacBook Pro and Leopard alone, or do I need to obtain a special software program?
Thanks.

Hi David!
As Francine mentioned, you will want to use the audio production software that came with your Mac, called Garageband. This will let you record speech, and even layer in music, etc. And when everything is set as you like it, the sound file can be exported in a variety of formats. It will provide a great basic audio recording solution for strictly voice and talking, but you can take things one step further and layer in a music track as an intro or outro if desired for a little more flair, edit out mistakes, etc. A great program that comes right with your Mac. There are nice basic tutorials on the Apple website which give an introduction to Garageband. Good luck David!

How can I copy an audio recording in Skype?

I have an audio recording of one of my contacts on Skype.
Can you tell me if there is a way to copy this recording to my hard drive and if so how?
Can I do it with MP3 Skype Recorder 4.11 and if so how? Where would it be recorded to if I can do it this way?
Any help with this will be really appreciated
HB

I already have a Skype recorder for any incoming or outgoing Skype or telephone calls. I use MP3 Skype Recorder for that. What I'm trying to achieve is different.
I have an existing voicemail message in Skype itself from one of my Skype contacts. It is this voicemail message that I want to save to my hard drive somewhere so there is no chance of me losing it in Skype itself.
I right clicked on the recording and there is an option in the context menu to 'Copy Message.' I clicked on this but I don't know where to save it to on my hard drive so I can play it whenever I want from there as a file.
I would also like to know if there is any way to change this voicemail message to another file format to play on my hard drive.
Can anybody help me with this scenario please?
Thanks
HB

HOW DO I SET MY AUDIO RECORDING PROGRAM

I AM USING BEHRINGERS UF0202 TO TRANSFER MY CASSETTES TO ITUNES. IT SAYS TO SET MY AUDIO RECORDING PROGRAM TO RECORD FROM THE USB PORT. HOW DO I DO THIS?

Are you are using an audio interface?
Are you recording external instruments... you will need to explain what kind of audio, virtual instruments, loops, recorded audio through an interface?
If you're recording through an audio interface (or the computer's audio input) Logic's plugins cannot stop peaks as Software is -after- the the hardware input. If you're getting peaks recording through hardware you will need to bring down input levels.

How do I make the audio files on my site download?

Hi
In my site there are links to some audio files. When click the links in chrome or firefox, the audio files start playing straight away. In opera the files download. Internet explorer opens the files in windows media player. How can I make it so that when they are clicked they always download, instead of playing inside the browser?
The only answer that I can find, so far, is zip files. I am reluctant to use that method because zip files compress and compression can do funny things to files.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks
Torhorhilau

I am reluctant to use that method because zip files compress and compression can do funny things to files.
Fear not. The zip compression is not a 'lossy' method, it's a simple statistical compression method (when three or more bytes are found adjacent in the file, they are replaced by two bytes, one indicating the repeating value, and the other indicating how many repeats), so the files will decompress exactly like they were before. A good example of a lossy compression would be when you create a jpg image.
Alternatively, you could force a download with a little server-side scripting. Google "force download". You would need some proficiency in server scripting to use this method, however.

How do i download a audio recording from email without using dropbox

I received an e-mail with an audio recording from my yoga teacher. On my PC I was able to click on the "address" and download it directly to my docs.
But I'd like to have it on my Mac Air notebook so I can have it with me when I travel.
However, when I click on the "address" to download it takes me to a dropbox sign-up page. I'd rather not sign up with dropbox.
Any iseas? Thanks. vee913
