How to recording a 3 piece bluegrass band Live

I would like to use GaragBand to record a live demo of a 3 piece acoustic band.
Two male vocals, One female vocal, acoustic guitar, mandolin, and cello.
Any suggestions for mic set up, number of mics to use. Kind of mic (s) to use.

Here is what I would suggest, and we can stay well under your budget.
Use either mixer (the behringer would be fine), set up the SM57s for the vocalists (2 would have to share 1 unless you can scare up another mic) and then the omnis to pick up the room.
Plug the output of the mixer into this:

and the interface into the FireWire port on your Mac.
You need to have a SoundMan "pre-mix" everything so that it sounds great and you can record that into GB as a single stereo track

I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money? Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound? Will I need adaptors and a interface?

Can anybody help?

Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.

How Can I record Phone Interviews in Garage Band for a podcast?

Hello...I have a Blue Snowball microphone, IMAC, and Garage Band 3.0.2.
I would like to record phone interviews in Garage band and be able to keep the incoming call at a high enough and clear enough level. So I am not to loud and they are not to low.
This wil be or a podcast.
Please help, any ideas?
-Chris

There's cheap telephone interfaces at Radio Shack (you might do a search in this forum, they have been mentioned before) which plug into the Mac's line-in. Since the Snowball is USB, you can go to the Audio-Midi Utility and create an "Aggregate Device" that consists of your line-in and your Snowball - that way you can record the two sources to two separate tracks and adjust their levels independently.

How to record multiple tracks together?

Ok, completely new to garage band, but I don't see why this is so difficult to figure out. I get how to record a track, and then play it as a loop. But how do I then record something new WITH that loop, so that the two tracks play together (and not just record over it, deleting the first track). For example, how can I record a rhythm part on the guitar, stop it, hit the loop button, and then record a solo over it? Everytime I try this it either records over the first recording (deleting it), or even though it looks like its recording when I stop and hit play I am still only hearing the first track. Very frustrating...
Thanks!!!!

You create a second track for the solo and record to the second track, then play both tracks together.
Use the "Record enable" button in the track header to enable only the solo guitar track for recording, once your rhythm loop has been recorded.

How can I extract a piece of video from a DVD ?

Dear all,
I recorded a DVD of a TV broadcast. I'd like to get an extract from it and use it in a presentation later (such as powerpoint).
How can I extract the piece of video ?
Is is possible to record it with quicktime (for example) or any other application ?
thanks for your help
Didier

MPEG Streamclip and the Apple MPEG-2 component will allow you to edit the VOB files off the DVD and export to MPEG-4. Searching here will provide this answer several hundred times as it is asked a LOT. More so for iPod users. You cannot export or edit and then export MPEG1/2 with Quicktime unless you do not need the audio as there won't be any.

How to record from an external source

I recently bought a hp envy 17" and I cant figure out how to record onto this laptop. I have to jacks on the left side, one with an icon of a headphones, the other with an icon of a headset. I want to be able to take input a stereo jack to record into one of these and record into a program like Audacity. Under device manager it says I have an ATI High Def Audio Device. How do I record from an external source? Thanks.

@toolchic, first make sure that in the IDT HD Sound properties [right click the IDT ICON near the clock, which says "Controls IDT Audio Settings" on mouse over the icon], and choose "Open Audio control panel".
Next choose "Recording > Settings". Here choose the input you want to record with. In your case choose "Integrated Microphone Array" on the top left. Click "Settings" just bellow, slide the bar to "10db boost" on the right, and slide the recording level bar about midway up [at the bottom of the window where all the volume controls for all recording devices are].
While you/re there, it's a good idea to mute the "External mic", and mute any other recording device that you do not need. Next, click the "Processing" tab below the settings tab, and choose "Reduce noise". Leave all the others unchecked. for these will produce a not so nice sound. This helps to eliminate fan noise and other background noise in your recording.
Now when you open your preferred digital audio program e.g.. Audacity [it's free and pretty easy to use, see link below], you can choose the INTEGRATED MIC ARRAY in the recording options. Choose that and then "arm" the track for recording [Usually an icon with R in the recording controls] Next click "record" to begin recording. Of course these steps depend on the digital audio recording program you're using.
If you don't have a dedicated digital audio recording program, and if you have windows 7 or vista, you can record long sessions with the default Microsoft recording program [this program is useless in XP, for it only records for like a minute or so, maximum!. A dedicated program such as Audacity records depending on how much hard drive disk space, or close to that.
@fritz, in essence, input jacks of most current notebooks, external computer mics are mono, but they use a stereo mini jack [or 3 band, if I understood you correctly]. These are the same as regular earphone jacks. One band is signal, one is earth, and the other is +5 Volts to drive the condenser [these are known as "condenser mics"]. But if you use a dedicated studio type recording mic, then you need a dedicated preamp, and if it is a condenser as apposed to a dynamic mic, the preamp needs to supply what's known as "phantom power" [typically 45v] through the input jack where the mic is plugged into.
However, if you record from the mic in/line in jack of a line out of say a mic preamp, channel mixer deck, CD/DVD/TV etc., then this has to be a stereo mini jack [has 3 bands]. Special cables with 2 [stereo] RCA jacks to mini jack are the ones to use. That is if the line out connector of your recording course is RCA [your typical TV/CD//DVD audio / video out or in are RCA connectors e.g..].

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.

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.

How can I set limitations on how many records a report can return

I have a report on the web using Oracle Reports builder and I have the client enter in date parameters for the report that they want.
Well with date ranges for different clients a different number of records are returned. Because of time it can take the report to return I want to limit the number of records that report can return.
How can I go about doing that? I don't want to limit with date parameters because date won't really work for me. I need to limit on how many records can be returned. If it exceeds 10,000 records I want the client to refine the date range of schedule the report to run later. Meaning we will run that report. So I would have two check boxes if the count was over 10,000 do you want to define your date or schedule the job to run later.
Can any one help me with this? How would I go about this?

To know if the report is going to return more than 10,000 records, you first have to run the query with a 'select count(1) from ... where ...' (with the same from and where clauses as you normal query). Since this takes about the same time as runnng your report, I wonder if you really gain anything (although formatting may take some time too).
You may simplify the select count(1) query by omitting all the lookup tables that are only needed for formatting. That way your query may run a lot faster. You can put this in your after parameter form trigger.

That's not a feature of the iPhone. You would have to route your calls through a 3rd party service to do so.

How to record from the video in or S-video Ports on Qosmio G40?

Can anyone tell me how to record from the video in or S-video ports, because i've tried the Ulead DVD factory program and the only capture device it could see was the webcam, and it did capture from it
After that i've downloaded the update file that was provided by the support website
The devices that the program could see are the TV tuner and the webcam (which it couldn't access anymore for some reason)
After that i've downloaded a newer update which simply is the same as the last update and seems that someone in the support website directed the link of the new update which they don't have to the file of the previous update which doesn't really do anything.

Hi
There are 2 s-video ports; s-video out port is not designed to capture the signals from any external source. The name of this port says everything; its an OUT port!
The s-video-in port must be placed at the right side of the notebook. Dont mix the both ports. But note; this port receives only the video signals. To hear the sounds, use a video cable to connect the sound terminals of the audio device and your computer.
Red: sound right channel
White: sound left channel
The Ulead DVD Movie factory can be used to capture this signal.

How to record a simple sidebar video as in Adobe Presenter 7

In Adobe Presenter 9, how to record a video with my webcam to put as a sidebar video for one slide ?
In Presenter 7 we could do that easily. Now with the new video editer we can make great videos and capture the screen. But that's not what need...
How to do a simple sidebar video without capturing the screen...
Look at the point 4 on this website: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Presenter/7.0/WS56318F3C-65A7-477b-8CAA-2CBF0902BA5B.html
3-...Capture video...
4-...then select... ...sidebar video to record video for the Presenter image area.
It was easy in Presenter 7 !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

When you use the video recording feature in Presenter 8+, it does record a stand alone WMV of your webcam. While the workflow isn't as clean as before, it can be inserted back in just as a sidebar video, without the background screen capture. Here is how you can do it:
Use the Presenter Video Creator to record your video. Disregard that your screen is being captured, you won't use it.
After you record your video, Save your project. Don't publish it, as the published output is useless to you.
Back in Presenter, choose to Insert Video.
Browse to your webcam capture (My Documents > My Adobe Presenter Video Projects > {What ever you named the capture} > mt). Should be named something like presenter_video1.wmv
Presenter will convert it to FLV, you can select the quality and location, slide or sidebar, as in previous versions of Presenter.
If desired, you can use a 3rd part video conversion tool to convert the WMV video, but that may not be necessary.

Is there any limit on how many records a cursor can hold?

Hi Everyone,
This is Amit here. I want to know whether there is any limit on how many records a cursor can hold.
I have a program in which i am creating a cursor and passing it to another procedure as an input parameter. But the count of cursor query is more than 15 Lakhs. The program is running forever.
Just wanted to know whether the huge data is the problem.
Thanks ....

Now multiply that waiting for I/O time with a million - for a million rows. Or by a billion, for a billion rows.
Is "+huge data+" a problem? Not really - it simple needs more work to get that amount of data from disk. More work means slower performance. It is that simple.
Which is why the row-by-row approach used by many developers is wrong. You do not pull a million rows from disk and process it in PL/SQL or Java or .Net. Heck, you do not even pull 10,000 rows like that.
The correct approach is to think data sets and use SQL to process that for you - and only return the bare minimum of data to the application layer. Maximize SQL. Minimize PL/SQL and Java and .Net.
