How do i record system audio

Hello all.
Just trying to find out how to record audio from the iMac 27 inch (Lion). If you know, does the same procedure also apply to a Macbook?

Try Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.
I'm afraid I can't simulate your issue as I have no iRig Pro, so I would just look around in there and make sure there aren't any issues.
If that doesn't work, try making a new project in GarageBand, click Empty Project, and then the Microphone. Underneath the microphone you just clicked will be input, output, reset setting, etc. You may be able to resolve your problem by playing around with these.
I'm sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

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 do I record an audio source outside of Logic while in Logic?

Hi everyone, I have a question I would like to address to the forum.
How do I record an audio source outside of Logic while in Logic? For example, I would like to record the audio off a youtube video or dvd to be then used in Logic. I am using a Dididesign M-Box Mini for both my audio input and audio output i.e. all sound is coming in and out of the M-Box. I hope this is an easy question to answer (I am a new Mac user). Thanks in advance.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Use the 3.5mm audio out jack on the back of your computer. Connect it to your audio interface, and record like normal. You need an adapter cable. ( 3.5mm stereo to two 1/4 inch mono) see link.

Recording System Audio in Captivate 6

I am running Captivate 6 on Windows 7, but i don't see the option of recording System Audio during capture. Please advise ...

This option only came in with Captivate 6.1 Subscription Edition. It's also in Cp7. If you do not have these versions you won't see it.

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.

Hardware Requirement for Recording System Audio

Hi all. I want to record the system audio using Captivate,
but that function in my PC is disabled. I read all previous topic
regarding this problem and wonder what's the minimum requirement
for sound card or any related hardware to accomplish that need?
Thanks!

Welcome to our community, LyreLu
There used to be an issue with RealTek hardware, but the
developers addressed that with a patch for Captivate 2. Captivate 3
shouldn't need anything special to work with that hardware.
As for system audio, it is my understanding that this issue
is one created by the hardware. You have a couple of options.
1. Obtain a small patch cable and connect it from the Speaker
out to the Mic or Line in line. Then record audio as it plays.
(I've done this with reasonably decent results)
2. Use software that overcomes the issue. One such product is
called FreeCorder. You may visit the download page using the link

How do I record an audio and send to a friend?

Hi,
I'm sure there is a much better forum on which to place this question, but is there a way I can record an audio on my iMac without a corded microphone and send it via email to someone or use it another way?
A side note to that would be what might be an inexpensive corded mic to get?
Thanks much,
Lee
P.S. I just began using Skype and will be wanting to purcahse a headset/mic
to make calls: if anyone knows what might work good with a Mac that would
be neat. Lots of questions. Total non-tech person here! Or... where would
I post a question like this "PS" here on a support forum?

Use GarageBand. I have made some sound files on just the internal mic of the MacBook Pro and the iMac has a similar one.
Make a new project using the voice selection (delete the extra track -- it starts with male and female) and, once you get close to the mic input (test this to see how near you want to be), press the red record button.
When you have finished, use the Share menu and send the file to disk. Once there you can attach the file to email easily. When exporting, select the mp3 format as that is universal.
As to a microphone, if you use one that goes into the mic port, you will probably need an amplifier. A USB mic is going to be more expensive, but of good quality. It depends what you are going to need it for.

How can I record streaming audio???

HP HDX 18T laptop
Windows 7
NCH Wavepad sound editor
Hi, I desperately need help with this issue:
Is there anyway I can turn "OFF" the speakers so sound does not come from them, but STILL have audio levels active internally so I record streaming audio with my NCH software Wavepad program?
I've been trying everything .. in the Control Panel setup, I am trying to "capture" streaming audio with my Wavepad program, but I can only attenuate the "mic" levels that the actual laptop picks up .. for example, if there's background noise in the room, it picks that up - I DON'T WANT THAT! - I only want the streaming audio from a recording - not the background sounds in the room.
Folks at NCH Software keep telling me to check with laptop of Windows advice.
Wavepad used to do this easily and cleanly before (well, on other computers and other Windows versions)
If I go into Windows Mixer, and turn down Speakers, it also forces to turn down System Sounds - I do not want system sounds down; only speakers.
Summary:
I want to record streaming audio into my audio capture software.
I want to independantly cancel laptop speaker output, while maintaining audio levels for streaming capture.
I DO NOT want extraneous sounds in the room's background picked up by the laptop's mic, which then interferes with the recording.
(or is there a Windows program that will do this for me? I spent $$$ on the deluxe Wavepad software ,, but it's not doing what it used to do)
Any help, or advice will be GREEEEEEatly appreciated!!!
Thanks, Michael

Fixed (I think ....?)
Turns out there's no "Stereo Mix" option in my Control Panel sound boxes .. apparantly no one else has it either in Windows 7??? depending on sound card ...
Well, a work-around is to connect a male mini-plug "Y" into [one of] the laptop's headphone outs; then run a mini-plug cord (male-to-male) from it to the laptop mic "in" ... that leaves one unused female mini-plug on the "Y" .. which you can then run your headphones (or speakers ) off of.
Found that solution online .. got the parts; it works now.
Still baffled why there's no "Stereo Mix" in Windows 7 ....?

Recording System Audio XP Bootcamp

Hi,
I am wanting to record my system audio on Windows XP SP3 on Bootcamp however all of the methods that have worked on my past Windows PCs have not worked.
I assume then it has something to do with Bootcamp but I can't figure it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Step one: list what you have: hardware, software, programs etc and devices
Step two: usually, Google a combo of the above
You would have to have pre-2011 Mac to use XP, and I'm of the "XP is 10 yrs old and only Vista SP2 and above is really supported anymore" though.
Why Mac? is at top of the list. You can build a custom PC to fit your needs, rather than try to retro-fit and go the other way. Choose the right tool for the job. Sometimes a Mac, sometimes linux, people want the classy looks of MacBooks and 95% of the time works as a standard laptop, but it is the 5%. Battery life, heating and cooling, and special uses.
A Mac Pro workstation is closest to a full size tower PC but even there, at least it has multiple drives, add-on cards (PCI Express) but costs more than a basic tower PC.
