How to listen to music and record sound at the same time

I want to figure out a way to record sound and listen to my music at the same time. Most recording apps stop my music when it starts to record and I can't find an app that does both. Any ideas?

Not possible since the iPod only has one audio processor.

  • Macbook Pro: Play and record sound at the same time

    Greetings everyone,
    My brother and I have are going to switch go a mac, preferebly to a macbook pro. we used windows so far, but the frustration has grown extremely huge, so it's time to throw off this junk.
    We've been working with sound a lot and many times we recorded any sound which played through the computer: that means sound and music from dvds and games or other sources, we couldn't get anywhere else. What we did is simply letting the game or dvd play and record the audio at the same time.
    I've testet this functionality in windows via bootcamp on a macbook of friend of mine, but NOT the macbook pro version. It's wasn't really that good as I thought. Sound quality was below what I'd expect.
    So here are my questions:
    - Does the macbook pro have a better sound card, which enables simultaneos play + record?
    - Is good record quality bound to a software I need to use?
    Thanks for your replies.

    Apple don't have separate "sound cards" like PC's , Martin. The necessary hardware is proprietary , and built into the logic boards.
    Both of them have high quality combined optical digital input and audio line in, and combined optical digital output and audio line out. You can also attach various USB or firewire audio input and output devices if you wish. So as far as 'quality" goes, it depends what you are playing them through more than anything else. The inherent audio abilities of both are pretty danged good when using Mac specific software. That is why the music industry love 'em!
    Or are you just talking about sound quality through the built in speakers, which are, of course severely limited by the amount of space available, though I've heard far worse from many PC notebooks!?
    Cheers

  • Play Music and Apple TV at the same time?

    Is it possible to stream a movie to your TV via Apple TV as well as play music independently on your computer without interrupting the movie?
    - I bought my Apple TV last week and connected Home Sharing on my windows computer, TV and my iPhone, iPad and iPod
    - But when we were testing out playing a movie through the TV, I also tried to play a song from my iTunes on my computer, but it stopped the movie on the TV.

    Yes.
    Where are you starting the movie from, you need to start it on the Apple TV and start the music on your computer. You can't initiate multiple streams from the computer but multiple devices can initiate multiple streams when started from the device.
    We have a number of Apple TV's and often watch and listen to different content on each at the same time.

  • How do I make Organizer and Editor open at the same time?

    I'm new to PSE 10 and want to know how to make Organizer and Editor open at the same time. I can get the Organizer up, but have to pick out a photo and click on Fix: Full Photo Edit to get Editor to open. Is that the only way to do it?
    Thanks,
    K

    Create Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor:
    The Editor's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The Organizer's executable is:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"

  • Can I listen to  music and play a game at same time?

    I would like to listen to music and play a game at the same time. For example can I listen to Pandora and play a card game? How? When I try to go from 1 app to another one closes.

    you can listen to music thats in the iPod part of the phone and play a game, but you can't listen to music from apps like Pandora and use another app to play a game

  • Firefox and ut2004 sounds at the same time

    I can't hear ut2004's sounds when firefox is running.
    I found out it is happening because /dev/dsp is busy (im using alsa).
    Is there anyway to hear sounds from both apps at the same time?
    (I have read that there is a way to have multiple apps use sounds on the same machine, but I have no idea how to do this)
    Sorry for my English.
    Thanks.

    Strange... the only problem I've had with sounds is when one program is using oss, and the rest are silent. If you're using alsa, you can work around the issue by installing alsa-oss, and starting the oss program with alsa-oss "pathtoexecutible"
    someone correct me if i'm wrong

  • Why can i rotate screen and have sound at the same time.   Why is only option one or the other

    why cant i rotate and have sound at the sametime?  why does it have to be one or the other.   

    Do you really think it's not possible to do both and set them up the way that you want them to be set up? You just don't understand how the process works.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Can you listen to tunes and watch slideshow at the same time?

    Just wondering if there is a way to play tunes and watch the slideshow at the same time. This would be great when showing a slideshow on a TV screen with tunes playing in the background.
    If not, I would have to make a slideshow in iMovie with a sound track and load that into the iPod.

    Yes.
    Go into slideshow settings > Music > and select a playlist.
    Then, select a photo library, and press PLAY.
    Cheers!

  • My iPod is playing internal and external sound at the same time when my headphones are connected

    Hi, I have an iPod nano, 16 GB, 5th gen, that I've had for almost five years. It has never given me any problems before, but today when I plugged in my headphones the sound played not only inside the headphones but through the iPod's external speaker. When I turn the volume up or down only the external sound goes up or down, the headphones still play music at the same volume. I tried connecting the iPod to other headphones, and inserted and removed the headphone jack from the iPod about 20 times, the only thing I haven't tried is restoring because I don't know if that would make any difference and I would like to avoid restoring if I can. Thank you for your time.

    Thank you for the suggestion, but it didn't work.

  • Can i play audio and record video at the same time, disabling the external mike, so the video has that audio?

    can i play  audio while recording a video so that the audio is recorded with the video? .. disabling the inboard mic, ? .. thank you 

    Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
    The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

  • Playing music and video games at the same time, itunes gets distorted.....

    i have a problem. i used to be able to play music while play games such at warcraft and counter strike but when i installed the new intunes 7 i cannot do that anymore. the music is all distored and speeds up and slows down. as if the cd is scratched really bad. it is really frustrating. does anyone now how to fix this or is it unfixable?

    i found a fix for WoW
    Open the World of Warcraft folder on your hard drive (Default Folder: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft).
    - Open the *** folder.
    - Open the Config.*** file using a text editor, like WordPad.
    Add the following line to the list if it doesn't exist:
    SET SoundOutputSystem "x"
    Set "x" to be 1 first, if it still occurs bump it to 2 and so on up to 4.
    you must restart WoW everytime you change the number.
    heres the link in the WoW forums.

  • How do I bounce audio and midi tracks at the same time to burn a CD?

    Hi there,
    I would like to bounce a song with both audio and midi tracks recorded in it onto a CD.
    Despite ensuring that I am doing a realtime bounce (not offline) I am only getting the audio tracks burnt onto the CD - the midi isn't getting bounced to the final output.
    This must be a stupid question, if someone would be so kind as to give me an obvious answer I would be most grateful.
    Thankin y'all
    amata

    Hi A,
    if you use the instrument (with logic virtual synths) tracks for midi,
    it will.
    BTW, why don't you do it offline?
    It will be so much faster.
    Kindly regards,

  • Can Airport Express / Computer be set up to steam music and go online at the same time?

    I can only connect my MacBook to one device (wireless modum and airport extreme) at a time.  I have gotten a few error messages during setup that make me wonder if it is the "refurb" device that is bad. I get error messages when I try to set it up wirelessly.  Or do I need the extreme to do what I want?  I installed all updates it asked for as well.

    Yes, both can be done simultaneously. You just need to reconfigure the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to "join" the wireless network provided by the other wireless router.
    AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - iTunes Setup
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
    Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    Network Name: <existing wireless network>
    Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup >Music
    Enable AirTunes (checked)
    iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    Verify Password: (optional)
    Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

  • How to read two counters and writing AO at the same time with 6024?
