How to do voice over recording on Macbook Pro13

I bought this MacBook Pro 13" for doing small recording such as e-learning modules. Can you guys enlighten me which type of Mic would fit into do my job well? Can I use the USB microphone Jack to get connected to the dynamic mic to suppress the surrounding noise? If so are they available in India especially in Delhi? Please help me out.
Thank you

The Blue Yeti microphone would do the job admirably:

New voice-over recording workflow?

I just dug up what's new in the update I just installed, and I'm not seeing the expected "Voice-over Record button" after following the described steps. Am I missing something?
Premiere Pro says it's up to date, and I was able to expore the other new features without any problems. CC Version 7.2.0 (46)

Hi TeeKayCC,
Please check the forums thread below which has the same discussion. Hope it helps.

No voice-over recording when exporting to Quick Time

I made a presentation in Keynote 4.0.3 with soundtrack and voice-over recording but when I export to Quick Time movie I can only hear the soundtrack. (The include slideshow recording box was checked). Can anyone help me?

Hello Ian:
Welcome to discussions!
is your exernal drive formatted Mac OS X Extended? it should be.
Try using Apple's Disk Utility to format the drive. However, when you reformat you will lose all files on the external drive in the process.

which i'm used to use with protools. does anybody have any idea?
thanks for help

How about a switch you throw to turn on a recording light in the booth? I think less tech here is likely better.

How do i trim a voice over recording in imovie?

I am making an imovie with the most recent updated imovie software. I have recorded about 30 minutes of voice over...now I need to trim it as there are bloopers and mistakes...it is possible to edit that recorded voice over or no? I can't seem to find a way to do it.HELP, PLEASE!!!

This worked in the previous version, and I believe it still works, but I have not tested.
Select the Voiceover track. Move the playhead to where you want to split the track and type command-shift-s.
Move to the other trim point and type command-shift-s. Now you can delete the portion you wanted to trim.

IMac-Questions for professional voice over recording

I'm about to purchase an iMac.Hi-I've used a PC for years recording VOs.Now I'm considering an iMac (3.20GHz Intel Core i3,4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB,1TB or 2TB Serial ATA Drive,ATI Radeon HD 5670 512MB GDDR3 SDRAM) Anyone willing to share some ideas and answer some questions I have about the eventual switch? Since I enjoy things very simple,until now I've achieved great results with a Sennheiser MD421-II mic,DBX 286A preamp/processor and Audacity on my PC. I'm a bit technically challenged when it comes down to knowing the inner workings of computers and Macs but I was told that I might need to look at the sound card that comes with the above iMac and consider upgrading it? Is this true? Is the graphics card adequate? Are the processor,Ram,hard drive adequately sized for VOs? Also...with the PC,my signal chain (if you want to even call it that: ) is mic,preamp,processor to computer via miniplug. Can I use the same with the iMac or do I need extra equipment? Thanks! So many questions....Thanks for any help or suggestions.

That computer will do everything you want and more. I have the same thing.
I haven't used the input on it yet, but the output is great minus 1 fault and that is the ground seems weak. I have two rokit8 monitors hooked up and was getting horrible ground loop noise, didn't happen in my old imac, just the new one.
Now in terms of software you are gonna be in recorders heaven. I have both garageband and logic pro 9 on mine. Garageband can be used for simple recordings, or fairly in depth recordings depending on the project and how good you become with GB. Logic pro is about as professional as you can get, a lot of the songs you hear on the radio are recorded using logic.
Now with the hardware it depends on your taste, I personally have never heard better sound from a computer then the setup I have now. And I am pretty sure I could make professional voice overs using the built in mic . But the quality of the sound card in question depends on you.
I would bet you would be content with the sound card they come with.

Voice over Recording

I want to record voice-overs (VO) in soundbooth. I have watched the Prem Pro and Soundbooth tutorial at Lyndia .com. I can successfully record a VO recording, but nowhere in the tutorial do they tell you how to import the prem pr timeline. All tutorials already had timelines imported. I have an edited timeline that I want to import into soundbooth, so I can watch the timeline while I record my VO. Do I have to somehow convert the timeline to a different format than the timeline currently is? My sndbth workspace is set up to show the video window. How do I import the timeline or can I record VO directly to the PremPro timeline? Thank you for any help, as I am relatively new to these programs. I have version CS4. Jean Matusik

Thanks for the info Jarrod. I successfully recorded a VO in PP CS4 a couple of days ago. Then, I processed the VO file in the timeline. Thanks though. Jean Matusik

How to prevent voice over saying the calling number ?

i'm using voice over in my iphone 5s, when i receive a call, voice over autamatically say the calling number or name with the ring tone, how can i set voice over to prevent it saying the caller number or name ?

It appears to be working as Apple intended. The manual says:
Moving recordings to your computer
You can sync voice memos with the iTunes library on your computer, and listen to them on your
computer or sync them with another iPod touch or iPhone.
When you delete a synced voice memo from iTunes, it stays on the device where it was recorded,
but it’s deleted from any other iPod touch or iPhone you synced. If you delete a synced voice
memo on iPod touch, it’s copied back to iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes, but you
can’t sync that copy back to iTunes a second time.
Sync voice memos with iTunes. Connect iPod touch to your computer. Then in iTunes, select
iPod touch. Select Music at the top of the screen, select Sync Music, select “Include voice memos,”
then click Apply.
Voice memos synced from iPod touch to your computer appear in the Music list and in the Voice
Memos playlist in iTunes. Voice memos synced from your computer appear in the Voice Memos
app on iPod touch (but not in the Music app).
What yo can do is code the Voice Memos on the computer as something besides Voice Memos (Right click>Select Get Info>go to Option tap and change under Media Kind). When yo change it it will move the VM to the library for that kind e.g., Music if you coded it as Music)

How to do voice over in 10.0.6 ?

Hi there,
I remember a couple of years ago when I was using Windows Movie Maker, I bought a usb mic Audio Technica ATR2020 to do some voice over.
I still have the mic with me.
But I cannot figure out how do I a voice over in FCPX.
Any tips ?
Thanks

Thanks Ben for the great link.
I know the voice over after recording appeared in the Events. But can I ask, where is it stored actually. I mean, if say I am satisfied after 5 takes, only the take number 5 is useful to me. How do I delete of the earlier 4 takes from my computer completely ?
Thanks

Voice Over Recording Edit view vs Multitrack View

Hi Guys, need some advice here.
I have always recorded Voice Overs in edit view with Audition 3.0 (Windows 7 64bit)
Recently I purchased a Creative sound card (X-Fi Titanium HD) which sounds great and records 24/96Khz with great results using several different microphones, mainly a EV RE20.
I have the main outputs of my mixer left and right coming out using 1/4 inch cables and going into the soundcards Aux left and right inputs via RCA..
In Auditions audio hardware setup edit view, there is only a choice for either Aux left or Aux right but not a mix of both as a input. (using Aux left)
Not using the mic input on the card because I wanted to use the RCA ins (Left/Right) on the soundcard and the mic input is a single 1/8 input which would require another Y 1/4 to 1/8 cable and the fact that I have had issues with 1/8 inputs before.
So, when I record Voice Overs in edit view, I think I"m really getting only half the signal (Aux left) which means I need to up the gain on the preamp more than I would like to get a good level.
Recently, I have been recording in multitrack view using Track 1 Aux left and Track 2 Aux right and then doing a mixdown to mono which results in a nice strong level without having to boost the gain to much.
So I guess my questions would be am I in fact only recording half the signal in edit view by just using Aux left
and if that is true, should I just continue to record in multitrack view using the setup I decribed above.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have always heard that if you just raised the level using gain you take the chance of also introducing more noise in the signal and I was wanting to avoid that.
The short and sweet answer to this is that once you've recorded the signal, the amount of noise is fixed. But what you have to do to optimise this is called 'gain staging'. In the case of your preamp, this invariably means that you set the gain so that the clipping indicator (I take it that it has one?) indicates that you've got it just lower than it takes to light it on the loudest sound you want to record. With these signals present, you then set the input level control on your sound device (not the same as gain) so that it records these signals at around -5 to -10dB, in a controlled environment. In a non-controlled environment you'd allow a bit more than that. This gap between the -10dB and 0dB is called 'headroom'.
So basically, you are recording the best signal to noise ratio you can get from your preamp at the best level you can with your sound device. And that, by definition, is optimum.

Sountrack or Logic/Logic Express for voice over recording?

Hello,
I am wondering which software is best for voice over work? Sountrack or Logic/Logic Express?
Any input would be great. I would add the standard effects/filters to certain voice overs and add sound effects and music.
I have a midi/guitar and garage band is enough for me. I would not want to use Garageband as my software of choice for voice over work. I want markers and other more advanced tools?
Thanks,
Erik

Thanks for the answer.
I was looking at the Dialogue Tools in Sountrack and they appear to be perfect.
My main questrion is can record into Sountrack with a mic right? I have an m-audio saphire with a m-audio preamp.
I saw a demo of Soundtrack at NAB and all the effects looked perfect for voice over. I think Logic Studio is overkill but Sountrack and Logic Express( for my guitar) might be a perfect 1-2 punch. I will get Sountrack with The Final Cut Studio as I need video tools as well.
Thanks,
Erik

Help with Voice-over recording - Strange tunnel/underwater effect

Hi there!
To start off, I am a beginner with audio equipment and recording, and very new to Audition. I recently did a voiceover recording in a studio setting, and was helped by an "audio engineer" -- although now I'm wondering if that's true -- because the WAV file we were provided is VERY noticeably off. It sounds like a tunnel, or underwater.
I'm not sure if this file is too far-gone to be able to fix with proper mixing-- I'm posting this in hopes that there is a simple fix, but I realize that this could need to be re-recorded. So any advice is MUCH appreciated.
Here is a clip of the Voice-over: Clip.wav - Google Drive
Thanks in advance!

Hey, J.
It sounds like the two channels of audio in your WAV file have been merged to mono. That's no always a bad thing, but in this case, they are no longer in-phase, so there is some interaction between the two channels. Can you send me the original file via dropbox or google drive to [email protected] for analysis? If the two channels of this stereo .wav are isolated, then you can save this recording by splitting them apart...which I can help you with inside the software.
Cheers,
-ChrisS

How to prevent voice over saying the caller number or name automatically in iphone?

hi, i'm a new member of apple world,
i'm using voice over in my iphone 5s, when i receive a call, voice over automatically say the calling number or name with the ring tone, how can i set
voice over to prevent it saying the caller number or name ??

Same problem, which is extremely inconvenient because I like to use my earphones to listen to Pandora while I work. Not every time, but most of the time I plug in my earphones, the iPod software starts playing the last song that was played. Stopping the music via iPod or pressing the Home button for 10 seconds to force quit iPod doesn't stop the music as it will just automatically start playing again. Sometimes if I'm lucky, plugging the earphones in very quickly avoids this problem -- but like I said, it's a cross my fingers and hope I get lucky kind of thing.
I'm using the newer 3G model, which I've had for only about a month. I did not have this problem with my old 2G iPhone.
Someone in another thread said it's a hardware fault and suggested exchanging the phone for a new one. Can anyone confirm this?
