How record line-level stereo input on GarageBand iOS?

I'd like to record line-level stereo input sent from my Mackie mixer to GarageBand on my iPhone 4S. I tried plugging a standard 1/8" stereo cable into the headphone jack, but no luck. The GarageBand manual suggests that this is possible, and there is one (pricey) cable I've found that seems to handle this, but it claims that the audio input is mono only, suggesting that I may need a cable connection to the dock (not the headphone jack) to handle stereo. I can't find a cable to do this, however...ideas?
Many thanks,
Jim

Sonoma Wire Works' "GuitarJack Model 2" iOS peripheral can help you do that. It's expensive though.

Recording line-level input with Griffin iMic

I'm having trouble recording line-level input from a stereo system with a Griffin iMic. Even though all extraneous inputs have been deactivated, I'm still getting a slight feedback hum. There should be no extraneous noise whatsoever. I haven't done this in quite a while, so I've forgotten what I must do. Any help is apprreciated. Thanks very much. Peace,

I'm trying to digitize an audio cassette with
Soundtrack Pro. My setup includes a Griffin iMic
that goes to a USB port. The trouble I'm having is
in controlling the input volume. The level meters
indicate clipping, but I'm not clear how to set the
input level.
If it's in the Recording tab (>Input) with the Gain
slider, mine is greyed out.
M Wohlgy,
(I know this is months after your post.)
Control of the iMic volume is in the Preferences pane called "Sound". You can set the output and the input levels there.
Remember the iMic's position switch works only for the imput, either close to the microphone icon for "microphone" or away from it for "line in".
I use the iMic exclusively.

Line-level audio recording via headset jack

I'm interested in using my Touch to run the "FourTrack" app - but want to record line-level rather than via a mic. (I'm not very technically minded.)
Is there any reason that I can't use an "iPOD VIDEO / HIFI CABLE, 3.5mm RCA to AUDIO VIDEO AV TV Cable for IPOD Video Photo Nano Mini" (as it is described on Amazon) and use the video RCA plug (the yellow one) for my audio in.
(I guess that the touch expects a mic-level input, rather than line-level. I'll be getting a DI Box if that assumption is correct.)

Is the Apogee ONE XLR Input accept line level sources?

I am looking to purchase a Hughes and Kettner Tubemeister 18 guitar amp with the Redbox out. The manual says to plug the amp XLR output into a 'balanced, line level XLR input on the mixer.' I do not know what this means, but I do have an Apogee One which has an XLR in. Can I record a line level signal with the ONE XLR?

Line level simply means a signal loud enough to be properly handled by an interface or by loudspeakers. The amp XLR output will work fine with the ONE breakout cable which has the XLR input.

I have almost the same question…
My guitar amp has a line/headphone level output with a jack (TRS): can this output work with the jack input of the ONE?
Can this input stand the level of line/headphone from the amp (Blackstar HT-5)?

How do I monitor the Line-In (Analog) input via my connected speakers?

I'd like to do this in order to hear audio coming from another device on-top of the audio already coming out of my Mac. On a Windows box, I would simply mark the checkbox for the input in the sound settings and the input is heard over attached output speakers, etc.

Check the volume setting in the "Input" tab of "Sound" system preference. If it's still too low, run Audio MIDI Setup (Utilities folder. Set "Properties For" to the audio input and make sure the Audio Input sliders are all the way to the right. The Mac uses line-level audio input, so if you are using a microphone you may need a per-amp or iMic

Selecting one of multiple midi inputs in Garageband

Hi,
I've connected an M-Audio Midisport 4X4 to my powerbook G4 and am trying to control the synths in Reason Adapted at the same time as a synth in Garageband, in order to play them together.
Does anyone know how to select the midi input in Garageband? At the moment it only acknowledges that there are 4 inputs and all controllers set off the synths...Reason is fine, you can select which midi input you want...I have Garageband 2...does version 3 have this option or have I overlooked something in 2?
Thanks for your help,
Alex Taylor

Stereo line-level analog audio input?

The analog audio input on my machine seems to be mono only. If I put in a stereo line-level signal it just duplicates the left channel on the right. Is there any way to input a stereo line-level signal through this jack?
ALFRED GUZZETTI

The input source is a DV tape deck. At the head of finished tapes I record bars and tone. The first segment of the tone is on both channels. It is followed by tone on the left channel only, then the right channel only. When I monitor what the computer is getting either through headphones or direct the input to Soundtrack Pro, where the meters display left and right, I hear and see sound on both channels from both the stereo input and the left-channel input (which shows up on both channels in the computer). The right channel only input is not audible or visible on the meter. The computer has always been this way. I assumed, maybe wrongly, that the input uses a stereo jack since these are pretty universal, but that in effect, the input is mono.

How to link two recording channels for stereo?

I have a zoom 6 interface which naturally records vocals in stereo with audition with its built in stereo
Mic. However, I have an external stereo mic which connects to two different inputs on my interface.
I want to link these two inputs in audition to record in stereo without recording two separate busses.
How can I do this?
Thanks!

You need to select a stereo input option in the channel sources choice on the track control panel (LHS). If it's possible to pair the two inputs, then this is where you do it.
Alternatively, just don't bother! Simply record two mono tracks and mix them down to a stereo track afterwards. Mind you, if you are recording vocals like this, then there really isn't a lot of point, as your voice is mono anyway, and you only really need a single output from the mic - one side or the other would do. If you are recording ambient sound, then okay, stereo - but you really don't need that for a single voice.

How to skip footer record in SQL*Loader input file

I have am using SQL*Loader in a batch import process.
The input files to SQL*Loader have a header record and footer record - always the 1st and last records in the file.
I need SQL*Loader to ignore these two records in every file when performing the import. I can easily ignore the header by using the SKIP function.
Does anybody know how to ignore the last record (footer) in an input file??
I do not want to physically pre-strip the footer since the business want all data files to have the header and footer records.

Thanks - how do I use the when clause to specify the last line of the input file?
I am presuming it requires me to have a unique identifier at a given position on that last line. If I don't have such an identifier can I still use your solution?
Cheers Why not putting an idetifier at the end of your input file: echo "This_is_the_End" >> input_file ?

Will iPhone 5 take line-level input via the headphone jack?

Is the headphone jack on the iPhone 5 a dual input/output jack...
and if so, does it expect Mic level, or will it take Line Level?

How do I get a good line level from the headphone jack from my latest model iMac?

My house is wired for analog sound and have for years used my iPod and iPhone to send an analog signal to my amplifier which drives speakers in multiple rooms. When I try this on my brand new iMac I get a buzz. Is there a setting or patch cable that can give line level analog audio out of my iMac?

There is no audio out any longer on the new iMacs.
Not true. All the iMacs have audio out, including the current models:
Headphone/optical digital audio output (minijack) - this can be used for line output also
Support for Apple iPhone headset with microphone
The current models don't have an audio input.

How to find number of lines in an input file.

Hi,
Can someone tell me, if there is a way to find out the number of lines in an input file. I do not want to read line by line and then count the number of lines read.

Then how do you think a program could determine the amount of lines in an input file? How does a human know how many lines are on a page? You're going to have to count the items that separate two lines to know how many lines are in your file.
Either read line by line and count the amount or read char by char and count the number of '\n' occurences instead.
If you have control over writing the input files, however, you can make this better. Write a header in the file that specifies the amount of lines in it. The first line of your file will then hold a number that represents the amount of lines in the file, so you need only read the first line to know how many lines are in your file.

How can I use 4 DIO lines as digital input in a E series-SC 2050-ER8 set up ?

I have a DAQ system with an E series DAQ card that is connected to SC-2050 and ER8. I want to use 4 DIO lines (out of 8) for digital input. How can I do this?

Hello Suresh,
There are a variety of ways to accomplish this. If you are using LabVIEW, you will use the DIO Port Config VI and the DIO Port Read VI. You will use the line direction map input of the DIO Port Config VI to setup which 4 lines you want to be the input lines. The LabVIEW shipping example entitled 'Dig Multi-line Direction (E) VI' shows how to use the lines of the digital port on an E-Series device for input and output.
If you are using NI-DAQ function calls, you can use the Dig_Line_Config and Dig_In_Line calls to configure a digital line for input and then read from that line.
I hope this helps.
