How To Record 3 People In Separate Locations & What Mics To Use?

Hey everyone.
I have a two part question. I could really use your help.
Two friends and I are looking to record a weekly podcast. The three of us are in different locations. We all have Macs, and are looking to use Ichat for a conference chat between the three of us, along with Garageband to record the conversation. If you are familiar with Garageband you know this is a built in feature.
My first question is: Can the three of us have a conversation via Ichat and have it easily recorded into Garageband? The second question is: What mics should the three of us be using? We want something simple (plug and play). A friend suggested condenser USB mics however one of my podcast buddies fears that the voice of the person talking at the time will get picked up by the condenser mics of the other two people. Is this true? And if so, what do we need to use mic wise? My friend is looking to use a headset type mic that would replicate what he uses at work.
Please help. Thanks!

Yeah I would also like to know the answer to this. I am thinking of creating my own podcast and have a nice microphone set up for my computer but the person I want to co-host is not in the same city as me. So essentially I need something that would be a conference-like program but that would also be able to transfer his audio at a high quality and be able to record it from my computer.
Technically it could be done by him hitting record on his own recording program about the same time as me but then we'd have two different audio files which would be a complete hassle to match-up when editing.
Blair.Harrington the answer to the microphone/feedback question is simply that you guys should all use headphones to listen to what you're each saying. This way the audio from what others are saying will not be caught/recorded by your microphones.
As said above I think it'd be better to get a decent quality microphone rather than one attached to a headset. I've bought a microphone known as the "Snowball" which was about $80-90 but I'm glad to finally have a good microphone.
Hope this helps. I'm also trying to find a good multi-location recording program.

    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

    I am trying to load a keyboard shortcut file in Adobe Illustrator it should go in: Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_US but I cannot find the directory. If I save a kb file from inside Illustrator the file saves but I cannot find the location. Spotlight search retuens nothing? 
    I saved a manualy modified kb shortcut file and saved the changes with a new name.  I cannot find the new file that will have an extension of .kys but I have not been able to find it.  I am using OS X Lion 10.7.2 What am I doing wrong?

  • How can I extract data from ST03 - what tables are used?

    Hi
    I currently have to create performance statistics daily for management. To do this I use transaction ST03 and manually copy the previous days Dialog average response time, DB, CPU and GU av. times into a spreadsheet, and also the average dialog response time for 4 key transactions from the transaction profile.
    It would be nice to automate this. I was thinking of writing a basic ABAP program to query the relevant tables to extract this data - does anyone know which tables are used? I'd tried running a trace but it was not clear which tables/rows etc would be required.
    Thanks
    Ross

    Ok, that FM is an old one - for NW2004s (700) need to use 'SWNC_COLLECTOR_GET_AGGREGATES'.
    Have a basic program below. What I'm trying to do is get the average response time for transactions. I can get 'respti' from the table but I think this is the total response time - what field represents average response time?
    Also, the numbers that it's pulling back don't seem to match the numbers in ST03 at all... except 'dcount'. This seems to correct ly show the number of steps... but the other values don't match anything. What am I doing wrong?
    Program below...

  • Headset Issues: What Do You Use

    Ok, so I'm having issues with my headsets.
    I just recently purchased a Logitech Precision Gaming Stereo headset:
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2272,CONTENTID=952 3
    and while it worked for a day and a half it no longer works (probably due to incapatability with the in-line but don't ask how it worked for a day and a half). I also have a Logitech 350 Headset
    http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=103,CONTENTID=1001 3
    that works occasionally via USB portal but even that is moody and won't power on or be recognized all the time. I'm assuming that comes from the issues that Logitechs and Macs have that I've been reading about.
    So, what will work on my computer?
    I basically will be using it for online gaming, and mostly through ventrillo. I prefer headsets (not overly bulky) that have a boom mic for noise reduction. If any of you have solutions to my current issue or recommendations for what mic to use I'd absolutely love the input.
    Thanks ahead of time.

  • How to record multiple inputs to separate tracks using an Audigy 4 pro

    Hi,
    I've been playing with my Audigy 4 Pro and Cubase LE on my windows XP box (since it ships with the card) and have been reasonably impressed with the results I've been getting (nothing amazing to be sure, but more than enough to amuse me).
    However, I'm now at the point where I want to record the mic/line 1, line 2, and line 3 inputs all to separate tracks in Cubase LE. I'll be ****ed if I can figure out how to do it.
    I've got jacks going into the front of the external Audigy 4 (into all the inputs) but I can't find any option anywhere that will allow me to select multiple recording inputs at the same time. From all of the reading I've been doing it looks like I need to do some ASIO configuration somewhere so that Cubase LE will give me some more VST input mappings.
    So firstly, I guess is what I'm trying to do possible with the Audigy 4 Pro and Cubase LE?
    If it is possible, what do I do to enable the additional inputs? I seem to have been through all the possible programs and configuration screens at least three times over and am now completely stuck.
    Any help, thoughts, pointers, step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

    Entrop1cLqd,
    This is off the top of my head so my memory may be incorrect here but this is what I remember. First off make sure that you have Audigy ASIO or Audigy ASIO 24/96 selected in devices. Then go to VST inputs setup and make sure that they are all active. Note the names in here as that is how the recording is mapped (E.g. if Line In 3 is even with IN 1 then Line In 3 will be recorded from IN 1). Arm the tracks you want to record on and select their recording inputs based on the labels from the VST inputs setup.
    This should get you setup.

  • How can 2 people use itunes in the same household? we both have iphone 4 and separate id but the same itunes? pleasehelp

           how can two people use itunes in the same household? i had a iphone before so alreday had an itunes account now me and my husband have upgraded and we now both have them. he has set up a username and i have mine yet when he logs in he seems to just get my account? please help

    Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, you'll also have to email your notes to yourself so they can be recreated in the new account as they cannot be migrated.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

  • How do I share access to Dreamweaver with a colleague of mine in a separate location?

    How do I share access to Dreamweaver with a colleague of mine in a separate location?
    I currently have DW loaded onto my desktop. I am presuming that if my colleague wants to get access to it, I have to copy the DW files I've created and put them onto the creative cloud connection. If that is the answer, How do I do that?
    My colleague has already downloaded DW onto his computer - he just can't see the files that I've created, even though I am making sure that my version of DW is always closed when he accesses his version.
    Any help gratefully received
    Jamie

    It is against the standard Dreamweaver license for your colleague to be using your license. Your colleague needs his license.

  • I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

    I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    Have the project, events and media on one drive which is common to both macs.
    You can download FCP X to both macs using the same Apple ID that it was purchased with.

    Hi bert,
    the ".rm" extension is created by 'Real Media' application.
    The easiest way to use it is to install the 'Real Media' player:
    1. RealPlayer BBC.app
    2. RealPlayer 12.app
    I have both installed & use them sometimes.
    (The 'BBC' wersion doesn't have any adverts with-in the app.)

  • How to record two mics on separate tracks in GB?

  • Material Master Record - How to remove or delete storage location

    Dear all,
    Is there a way to remove or delete a storage location accidentally extended via MM01 due to extending the general plant view?
    I've tried the following:
    1. I've used MM06 to flag the particular storage lcoation for deletion. However, when go to MM02 and select the plant view, the storage location that already been flag still exist for selection. I only get the warning prompt "The storage location has been flag for deletion".
    2. I tried MMSC attempt to delete and I get either messages with different material master record:
    a) "Material not fully maintained for this transaction/event"
    OR
    b) "Storage location 60BF already exists and cannot be deleted"
    P/S: If this question has been asked before by others, please point me to that thread.
    I'm grateful for any suggestion. Thanks.
    Steven

    Hi Jurgen,
    I've gone through the data archiving project in the past. I was actually hoping I don't have to go through this big exercise for this minor situation.
    The storage locations in the SAP system are fine. The problem is that when I came in to this organization, I found out that the procurement users have accidentally extended material master record to those storage location irrelevant to them. Those users don't post any stock to those accidentally extended storage location. They admit that it was a mistake. So, I don't really have to do stock movement or GI out from those affected storage location because there's nothing in them.
    Now that I've initially flag for deletion (MM06) of those mistakes done by those procurement users over the few years counting to 2000+ material master records affected. But the standard behavior of the SAP system allows change to proceed in MM02 except for that warning message MM081. So, I was actually asking around to explore if there's actually an option to make it an error prompt instead and stop the whole change process at MM02 transaction level.
    If I may re-confirm, what I've done so far via flaging for deletion of material master record at storage location level - is this the only correct solution available?
    Hope this clarifies my intention of opening this thread. Sometimes, users are quite tough in accepting the results from standard SAP system behavior.
    Thanks for the time in explaining.
    Steven
