yes, plug the console into the line-IN on the mac and set up GB:

however GB would not be my recommended choice, especiall if the recording is to be unattended. if GB throws a modal error dialog it will cease recording; an audio editor is often a better choice:

Delete it from itunes. Connect your iphone to your pc. Then delete it. Then sync your phone to your pc. It will be deleted.

Recording live music with video iPod...

I tried using my video iPod to record a live music show and was very disappointed with the results. I purchased a MicroMemo digital audio recorder and used a set of stealth mics I've used for years with my portable MiniDisc recorder.
The iPod doesn't allow you to set recording levels and I think that was the problem. The recording was WAY oversaturated and virtually unlistenable. I tried using Audacity to edit the file, but I was unable to fix the oversaturated recording.
Can anyone advise me? Thanks in advance!

Hi Bill,
I've used plugins in apps such as Pro Tools plugins to clean up
recordings of lectures. Other good audio software
that allow you to filter a sound file include Cubase
, MacFOH ,
SoX .
Thanks for the suggestion, Ed, but my recording is SO oversaturated that it can't be salvaged by anything. When you look at the recording in any sound editor, the top is severely clipped. You can't do anything to restore what isn't there to begin with, and that's the top of the waveform.
Here's
a list of other open source audio projects at
GNU.
Nice list! Thanks for that!!!
Good luck!

I did get some help from XTremeMac's tech support. Sharon Rivera from that company wrote this:

It turns out the battery box (9V) on my Core Sound stealth mics means my mics are powered by an external source. All I have to do next time is use the "line" setting instead of the "mic" setting on the MicroMemo.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Live looping with Garageband trouble.

Is it possible to record LIVE loops WITHOUT creating new takes? I want to record bass for live shows, then loop the parts, but it keeps creating new takes and recording over in the looped area instead of playing back what i just recorded in. Any suggestions?

If you have set a cycle region and press record, GB will always create new takes. You can't switch from recording to playback without hitting "stop".

Recorded midi file with Garageband keyboard-only the beginning of it plays

Hi,
When i play a recorded midi sound from the jampack with the midi keyboard included (world music instrum.), once the track is recorded, if I start to play it and press stop in the middle of a long note, and press play again, the last part of this note isn't heard. It's no big deal, but for editing it's a pain in the neck because in order to hear the sound I have to go back to the beginning of that same note. Anyone here knows what this can be due to?, Ive checked the garageband help and not much is said about that...
Thanks for the help.
Patrick.

It's not a GB problem, but inherent to midi - the data consists only of "note on" / "note off" events, not continuous information about a key being pressed down. So if you start playing your song after the "note on" event, the program has no way of knowing that the key was pressed earlier. It then just ignores the "note off" event.

HELP: Recording IChat Conversation with GarageBand - Will not respond

Hi guys,
I recently recorded an important conversation on IChat video with someone using GarageBand (the voice part) but before stopping recording on GB I closed the video chat window. I think that messed up to the recording and now the GB will not respond (Rainbow disk keeps spinning) I know I could just force quit but I don't want to lose the conversation it was 2 hours of work (REALLY IMPORTANT WORK) If anyone could offer some advice of what I should do I don't want to Force Quit incase there is a solution. Thank you so much for any help and I really need it so if anyone has any advice please tell me ASAP!!!
Thanks Again!
Harry

Here's what you should try. Locate the folder where the recordings are stored:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/AIFFsStored.html
Don't mess with the contents but make a copy of the Media folder (by alt-dragging it to the Desktop, for example). Then force-quit GB and try to open your project again. If your tracks aren't there, try to rescue them from the copy you made!

Recording live music with Soundblaster X-Fi Xtr

Hi,
My new Dell shipped with a Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme. I told the sales rep I wanted to record li've music into it, and wanted a card with a MIDI port - he said this was the card I needed but now it's arri'ved it hasn't got a MIDI port at all, just mic/line in, and digital in/out as well as the speaker outputs. I'm gonna have to buy an external audio board it seems... In the meantime I want to at least record some basic stuff but I can't work out (I'm new to this) how to overdub. Since I've only got the one line in for my instruments and vocals I want to be able to record over existing tracks I've saved - will someone please tell me how to go about this cos I've looked in all of the help menus and opened all of the software that shipped with it and can't find the right option. I thought it should be possible to achieve in WaveStudio, but this seems to just record over my existing track, not overdub it. Sorry if it's a really obvious question but it's driving me nuts.
Also - any clues as to why an AWFUL, piercing, electronic whine should come through my speakers occasionally when I click on a button in a website, or open a program? Doesn't seem to follow a particular pattern, which makes it difficult to predict. Most unpleasant...
Thanks!

sorry, i overlooked the psu,
the sticker says 550w psu : +3.3v - 30a, +5v - 35a, +12v - 20a
yes the onboard sound is disabled, as is the onboard modem.
I've tried it in slot 3, as well as all other slots and I get the same symptoms in each, I suspected an IRQ conflict to start with, possibly with the IDE controller but with it happening in everything slot I ruled that out for now.
What about changing the PCI latency clock etc... would that have an effect on the card?
I asked the question on the creative labs forum and a user suggested changing the PCI IRQ pool options in the bios but that didnt seem to have any effect either. Im close to giving up with this card but that would be a waste of money til I could afford a new board, CPU etc...
I'd be happier having a bios upgrade than have to change all the settings but I understand this probably isnt going to happen due the age of the motherboard. Funnily enough I havent had any faults using vista other than this, and as I stated I have also tried it with XP Pro SP2.
thanks for your help, and any other help you can offer. Im quite an experienced computer user so get technical if you need to

Best mic for recording live music with video ipod?

i believe there are mics for recording sound, and believe there are even some which are made for great sound quality such as live music.
if so, which one is the best?
thanks.

This is sort of like asking what is the best motorized vehicle.
There are different mikes for different purposes, instruments, etc. I'd get on Google and look for recording websites.
Myself, I like various Neumann's for certain applications.

Do you have to use an audio interface when you record a guitar with garageband on an iPad Air?

I've been looking into getting an iPad Air through a new cell phone contract. The only reason I want it is so that I can start recording my own music. I don't want to have to buy an audio interface however, so I'm just wondering if I really need one.

Josh, there really is no good way in and out of the iPad for recording audio without some sort of interface. There are a broad range available, some starting under $100.

Using my digital drum set with GarageBand

I have a Session pro dd506 digital drum set. I've connected it to my mac via a usb cable. If I hit my digital drum pads then my mac sounds a note as you would expect. but the problem is that for example my snare will be the floor tom and my first tom will be the crash symbol (they're all mixed up). Is there a way to assign different sounds to each pad?
Thanks

if your kit doesn't allow you to reassign the control codes, take a look at MIDIPipe which is supposed to do that (among the other things it does)
@ HangTime... are you saying it is possible to use a 3rd party app to reassign keys/pads etc from a MIDI controller to GB midi instruments??
I would love to get something like the Alesis Control Pad and assign GB's drum kits logically to the pads. Right now I have an M-Audio Axiom 49 which has 8 finger pads and it would be good to even make this make sense.

Lenovo g580 do I need to buy an external audio interface to record live instruments and voice ?

Hello, If anyone could help me please ?, I am wondering do I need to buy an external audio interface to record live instruments and voice onto my lenovo g580.?
My friends have said that good laptops have audio interface's built in... but I cannot see how this could work as I am trying to build a home recording studio. Do they mean that I just need to have a mixing desk ? As the audio interface is already in my laptop, ?
Another question I have is... I have bought a microphone to record with a studio mic. But when I plug it into the headphone socket, it works as a speaker and not as a microphone. Please can you tell me how do I make it work as a microphone, and record on ableton. Thanks. I live alone with two cats so I'd really appreciate some help !
Thank you very much, best wishes.

I'm preparing to expand my studio from a 1 man songwriting system,
to add the capability to record a complete live band, with 16 separate
simultaneous tracks recording. Am I dreaming?
Nope. I've been recording live bands with up to 56 channels at 24 bit 48kHz for three years now.
1) Does my computer have enough native power to handle such a task?
Yes. The actual recording uses the hard drive buss, so you need to make sure you have fast drives and a dedicated FW or SATA buss for them.
2) Is there an audio interface device that could help shoulder some of
the cpu load?
No. CPU is used only for routing audio, effects, etc. An audio interface is used to route the audio in and out of the computer, and as such does not process effects at all.
3) is it possible to use my multiple, fast internal drives to help?
Yes. Although with Logic Pro you can use only one drive at a time for recording. HOWEVER, I have been able to use SATA drives to record up to 56 tracks AT ONCE. So there is plenty of power there.
4) If not 16, what's the highest realistic track count I can hope for?
Again, I have done 56 tracks. 16 is a walk in the park in comparison to 56. I would recommend you invest in Apogee AD16X and DA16X, since in one interface you get ALL 16 inputs, and the other gives you the 16 outputs to go to, say, a mixer. And the sound quality is very very very good.
thanks in advance
You're welcome.
Cheers

Recording an interview with two microphones?

Thank you for considering my question. I'm conducting a series of interviews on location and am recording the conversations with GarageBand on my MacBook Pro (13", late 2011), running OS X Maverick 10.9.2.
I've been using one Blue Snowball external microphone, but this doesn't pick up both voices very well.
May I add a second microphone to GarageBand and get two separate vocal tracks?
Also, which external microphones do you like for recording interviews? The Blue Snowball is very bulky, and I'd rather not have to cart it around (although it looks impressive).
Thanks in advance for your help!

yes, you can create an aggregate device for multiple inputs:

although this short video tutorial is made with os x 10.9 and GBv10, the principles are the same for 10.6 and earlier versions of GB:

Recording a bands live set has distorted audio

Previously I have recorded many bands live set (small hardcore bands, all legal, don't worry) using the Camera app on my iPhone 4, 4S, and 5. Always got very high quality recordings thanks to the automatic gain control (I think?). Now with the iPhone 5S and iOS7 I get very distorted audio. Not sure if it's the software or hardware change. Sadly I do not have my old iDevices to test them again, but a lot of my old videos are on youtube. Any thoughts or solutions?

1. What is the maximum number of tracks that can be recorded at one time in Garageband?
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#maxnumrecordabletracks
(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
I read somewhere that Garageband can only record 8 live tracks{...} Is this true?
yes, however that 8 tracks is 16 channels, explained briefly here:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/TricksHacks.html
and 1 MIDI track simultaneously.
correct, there is no workaround
2. Optimally I would like to have 10-12 real recordings
doable if the interface supports it, and you're up for the extra work in post
and 2 MIDI
not doable with GB.
3. I plan to record to a 1 TB external USB drive so that I don't run out of disk space. Would GB play nice with recording to an external drive over USB?
to record that many tracks, you want FireWire, not USB.
4. If no, should I record each song, save it, then copy it over to the external? or record the entire set in one recording?
trusting an entire performance to a single recording is not a good idea no matter what you use. saving each song would be wise no matter what.

How can I record my guitar amp with garageband?

Hello, new member and new to recording with garageband!
I would like to capture the live sound of my guitar amp using garageband. I know there are many modelling and FX options using GB, but I really want to hear how my amp sounds.
I'm using the following:
-macbook pro and garageband
-Presonus Inspire 1394 interface
Traynor YCV 50 all-tube guitar amp
-Shure SM57 mic
-Yamaha SG700 electric guitar
So far, the results have been dismal. My main instinct was to keep all levels in the green and go for it. I used the most basic setting in GB with no effects added. All attempts sound like I'm playing into a garbage can.
Any quick tips would be appreciated, please and thanks!

Your setup should be getting excellent results.
Are you using a real instrument track?
Are you sure garageband is getting the input from the Shure and not the built in mic?
Is the mic close to the speaker / pointed at the speaker / have you tried pointing it at different parts of the speaker?
