HT202638 Can I record the audio from a cassette player (portable) into my Mac Mini 2012?

I have several old cassette tapes that I'd like to digitize. Can I do that by playing the tapes on a portable cassette player plugged into the audio in port on the back of my 2012 Mac Mini? If I can, what plug do I need, a simple stereo (ground, left, right) mini plug? Do I need a pre-amp?
Yes, the audio input on your MacMini is stereo and line level. (It is not a Mic input.) You need a stereo miniature phono plug (3.5 mm) on the end that goes into the MacMini. You do not need a pre-amp.
As far as software goes, you can try 3rd party software, like: http://audacity.sourceforge.net
or
Just use Quicktime:

Can you record the audio from a Video embedded in a pdf?

I can't seem to find anything on this, so I will ask. A client sent us a company produced interactive pdf and wants us to use the audio from a video clip that is in the pdf. We asked for the audio clip but they don't know who to get it from and just keep saying it is in the pdf. While others try to explain that a pdf and an mp3 are not the same thing. I get to look into a fall back position of trying to extract the audio (or video). There is no copyright issue here. Client peon just can't/won't get the proper file.
Maybe some one can help or point me to info that says it is not possible.
Thanks.

WireTap Studio did the trick. I downloaded a free Trial version and bob's yer uncle.
Thanks Michael

Can i take the ram from macbook pro and put it in mac mini?

Hey guys currently I have 8 gb of ram in my late 2011 mac macbook pro and was wondering if I could take it and put in into my new 2012 mac mini? Thanks for the help?

Only if they use the same RAM. That means same specs. Your Mini requires faster RAM than is installed in the MBP. They are not interchangeable.

How can I record the audio for a radio station I'm streaming LIVE?

I don't want to record the sound in my room, but only on the sound I'm streaming

No. Preferably one records using direct input.
Your comment It doen’t matter whether he/she is recording the audio from the macbook or any external speakers because if the room is noisy than obviously the ambient room noise will be recorded. is pretty silly really. Think about what you just wrote.
And you do have a bad habbit in your posts of over using ???????? & !!!!!!!!!!!!!
One is enough.

Can I rip the audio from a video so that's all i have?

I have a couple of comedy videos and i find it unecessary to have the video and the audio, since it would be just as great with only the audio. So my question is if anyone knows if i can rip only the audio froma quicktime movie? thanks in advance.

Try virtualdub found at virtualdub.org. I have never tried a quicktime movie. If it doesn't work, go to www.digital-digest.com. They will have the answer.

How can i cut the audio from 1 file and put it on another?

I have these2 files of the same movie, 1 is amazing quality but theres no audio. the other is crummy quality but has perfect audio. How can I cut the audio from the good audio version and paste it onto the good video file?
btw i have quicktime pro is that changes anything

Open the movie and press "Command J". This will bring up the properties window. Click on the Audio Track or Video Track and the "Extract/Delete" buttons will light up. Click "Delete" and it'll delete the currently selected track, click "Extract" and it will extract the selected track into a new movie. Just use Delete on the correct track and you're halfway there.
Then, select the movie that is just an Audio Track now, do "Command A" then "Command C" to copy the audio track. Go to the movie that's just a video track, move the insertion point to the beginning of the video then do "Option Command V" to add the Audio Track to the Video Track side by side.

HT1386 I have an app called ipieta which was originally downloaded onto an ipod. I gave the ipod to someone else, but now that I've had the iphone I can not get the audio even though it is downloaded into itunes music like it said to do. It won't work.

I gave the ipod to someone else, but now that I've had the iphone I can not get the audio even though it is downloaded into itunes music like it said to do. It won't work. I've tried more than several times to get help but nothing helps. Do I need to deauthorize the ipod or perhaps erase all the downloaded ipieta stuff and start over?
Thanks for any suggestions

Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

Can I move adobe cs4 from my windows machine to my new mac mini?

can I move adobe cs4 from my windows machine to my new mac mini?

Short answer is now. Any app that was developed on
for Windows will not run on OSX and visa versa.
However, You can create a Windows environment on
a Mac by 2 methods. The first, create a dual boot
machine using Bootcamp and install Windows on a
seperate partion and then select which operating system
to boot into. The second is using virtual machine products
such as VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop Mac. You
basically create a virtual Windows environment that
runs along side and concurrent with OSX.
Not sure how well this second approach will work with
any CS4 app, as they tend to be quite resource intensive.

Can I save the audio from a MP4 video as an MP3

There are several sw applications for the PC you can use to get the audio from the video file.
You can use an encoder like www.imtoo.com 3gp encoder.
You could use SUPER (freeware video encoder)
Lastly if you have an audio recorder app in your pc you could just play the video and record the audio in your recorder application.
There are just many ways to do this.

Can I rip the audio from a video file?

I have a video file with a band singing on it. I have an ipod nano, so I can't import the video with the singing onto my ipod. Is there anyway to rip the audio from the video file and put that onto my ipod?
-Thanks

Open the video in Quicktime Player.
Select the Export menu item.
Change the Export type to "Sound to Wave".
Save the WAV file somewhere with the default settings.
Load the WAV file into iTunes and use iTunes to convert it to AAC for the Nano.

Can you extract the audio from a music video?

Some of my favorite songs were purchased from Itunes as music videos. (Because they are also my favorite videos.) Now I'm trying to figure out how to move those songs to the iPod +without having to buy the songs as just songs!+ It's been very frustrating. "Create iPod or iPhone version" doesn't convert to anything useful for a Shuffle. How do I extract the audio from the video?
Or do I have to buy the same music over again?

Hello RoyFeni,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Can you change the music video's *Media Type* to Music from under the Options tab of the *Get Info* window for the track in iTunes?
I'm not sure if you can, but hey its at least worth a try. It's all I have though.
Otherwise, this is not possible via iTunes. The only way you would be able to extract the audio is through the help of some third party application. Not sure how simple or complicated the process is.

Can i use the audio from a theme for a different one?

Hello,
I'm creating a DVD for my students. Long story short, we spent 3 weeks in China, I borrowed all their pictures and I'm creating a DVD with all the pictures and videos for them to have as a souvenir.
I'm using Reflection Black but there is no audio with this theme. I know how to add music to menus or slideshows but I'd like to add the audio from a different file, Revolutions (7.0 theme). Is it possible?
I've tried, without success, to locate the audio file. I was starting to get quite annoyed so I tried to record the audio using Quicktime but the sound wasn't very nice!
As you've probably guessed by now, I'm not very good with computers when it comes to technical stuff!
I really want my DVD to be good! I would really appreciate if you could help me!
Thanks.
Mily

Sorry! Just found where the audio files were!

Can I record music/voice from a tape player?

Is there some way I can connect a tape player to my MacBook Pro and record the contents of a cassette tape?

I'll try Audacity.
There are a number of Mac audio editors out there (Sound Studio, Amadeus, TwistedWave, Wave Editor, etc). Audacity is free and quite powerful, but its interface is less polished and not very Mac-like, and some its features are rather idiosyncratic. If you haven't used an audio editor before, that shouldn't bother you -- much. Make sure to read the documentation to understand how it works.
If you use Audacity, remember that it uses its own .aup format. You should export the original recordings to AIFF or WAVE and keep them, in case you want to go back and re-edit them with other tools.
I have a basic cassette player
Remember the basic law of computing: GIGO. It really depends on how much those recordings mean to you, but, IMHO, you should record from the best player you can lay your hands on. No amount of later processing can make recordings from the output of a bad player sound like the output of a good player.
tapes we have to put on CDs
Don't expect too much. Stuff that sounds acceptable on a cassette player may sound awful on a CD player, because the CD's much higher audio quality will lay bare all the shortcomings of the original tapes. Experiment with Audacity's noise reduction filter. Check also Audacity's wiki, I think they have some instructions specifically for digitising analogue audio tapes.

You have option of Audio Recording in Adobe Captivate while using Software Simulation or Video Demo (Captivate 6.0)
You can move the Microphone (For Audio Recording) closer to Computer's speaker.
