How to record a voice?

I don't know GarageBand at all and I have to record a dialogue to import in final cut pro. I'd read the manual but I'm running out of time.
Can anyone help me with how to simply record a voice and then save is an audiofile?
Thank you very much!!

Do I choose New Music Project, New Podcast Episode or New Movie Score?
Where do I select my instrument (= USB microphone)?
(thx)

  • How to record my voice by headphone on mac mini

    Hi all,
    How to record my voice by headphone on mac mini. The headphone have a microphone. It can record on window 7, but on mac mini, it's not working.
    I don't know why. Please help me.
    Thanks.

    Open Quicktime Player
    File Menu: New Audio Recording....
    However... if the headphone/microphone combination has two 3.5mm jack plugs (pink and green) then the microphone output (pink) is "mic.level" - which is TOO QUIET for the audio input on a Mac, which is expecting the much stronger "line.level" signal strength.
    Solutions: get a microphone pre-amplifier between the mic and the Mac (not cheap); or a different microphone with a USB interface.

  • Logic Pro X - How do I record my voice over existing tracks (via a mike and audio interface) without hearing those tracks on the speaker. I have headphones plugged into the interface but it doesn't stop in coming out of the speakers?

    I'm new to Logic Pro X and can't work out how to record my voice over existing tracks without them playing over the speaker. I'm using a Sure mike through an audio interface and have headphones plugged into the interface?

    Hi Kevin, what kind of audio interface do you have?

  • Newbie asks: "How do I record my voice using my built-in mic?"

    I will admit it - I am the newbie. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to record my voice, using my built-in mic on my laptop (G4). The manual for GarageBand doesn't have a step by step.
    My Track Info does not list "Vocal", as I have seen it listed on Apple tutorials and pdf manuals. Also, I have set my Preferences to "built-in audio" for input and output. I am using version 2.0.2 (50) of Garage Band.
    I am probably just being mentally deficient, but can anyone help me with a step-by-step explanation of how to record my voice?

  • How much recording time on my iphone 4 voice memo?

    How much recording time on iphone4 voice memo?

    I would suggest that it depends on how much free space you have on the phone. I have done voice memos of over an hour before, and have read of other users reporting larger ones. I do not believe there is any documented source of what size you can do.

  • I have a new iPhone 5S.  While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content.  I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it.  There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want.  Help!

    I have a new iPhone 5S.  While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content.  I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it.  There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want.  I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone.  Help!

    The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

    how long I can record a voice memo in my iphone 5s, how long I can record a voice memo in my iphone 5s

    Thanks Caramby.  I actually found another work-around
    Here's how to copy the voice memo to your laptop (and then email it if you need to):
    With iTunes open on the Voice Memo folder of your device (an iPhone 4s in my case), simply drag the required file from iTunes and onto the desktop of your pc/laptop.  It won't remove the file from your device but simply make a copy.   Then you can play the file from your pc/laptop (through Quicktime) as the file is in AAC format.  You can also attach the file to an email for sending.
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • How do I record my voice and other sounds using the microphone in my HP TouchSmart 15?

    I just recently got an HP TouchSmart 15 notebook PC and know very little about how to use it.  I'd like to use the onboard microphone to record my voice and other sounds, ending up with sound files that I can save and use in creating multi-media presentations.  Thanks for helping me learn how to do that!

  • I updated to ios8, and now I can't talk and have it turn into text. Instead it records my voice. How can I make it go back.

    I Am not interested in recording my voice. the simple way I could just press the microphone key and talk was great. How can I go back to the old and convenie system?

    There is no microphone to the bottom left, Just bottom right. And when I touch it it says "tap and hold to record and send audio." That is exactly how I do. To want my text messaging to operate.
    edit. Auto corrected effed up that last sentence. That is exactly how I do not want my messaging to operate.

    Hi Tincorreo,
    If you made a backup of your iPhone prior to erasing the voice memo, you may be able to restore the backup. You may find the following articles helpful:

    What's your setup? Normally you hear all  tracks (that are not muted) in your headphones while you record a new one.

  • HT2508 How can I record my voice through my Mac?

    How can I record my voice to my Mac?

    Use GarageBand.
    In GarageBand, go to the Track menu and add a New Track to your project. When the box comes up, click "real instrument", then "create". Unless you have external audio hardware connected, the default audio input for the track should be the internal microphone of the computer.
    Or use QuickTime. Open QuickTime, go to File>New Audio Recording.
