I want to record live stereo audio (using Mobile In)

with the new 30-pin connectors for iPad and iPhone making it possible to record stereo audio (like Line6 Mobile In), I'd like to record in stereo to iMovie on my iPhone4.
Does iMovie use Core Audio? If so, then this would be a great feature to add if it isn't there already. I haven't found a way to record stereo digital audio into any camera/movie app yet...
thanks
Jeff

It all depends on your expectations. A USB condenser mic is a good way to start. If you want better quality, you'd want to use several mics running through a mixer. If you want to be able to mix after recording, you should look into an audio interface with several channels that will allow you to do a multitrack recording in GB.
Another idea: are you using a PA system? Then feeding the audio from the mixing console might be a good idea, maybe with an additional track capturing the live audio and the audience reaction with an extra mic.
Possibilities are plenty and not so confusing when you think them through ...

  • Help I want to record live to Garage Band

    HI; I know this may have been dealt with before but I am a novice and new to it all. I want to record my blues band to Garage Band. The quality of the inbuilt mike is not that good; should I use a usb condenser mike or a mixer in preference??. It has to be simple because I find a lot of the recording technology very confusing. Would really appreciate some input; thanks

  • Recording live onto FCP using HDD Cam?

    I have a JVC GZ-HD7 HD HDD Cam. Is there any kind of setting in FCP that will recognize my HDD Cam via Firewire or USB so that I can record live footage onto my computers HDD? I want to pass through my Camcorders HDD and record directly to my Macbooks HDD using Final Cut Pro? Any help Thanks!!
    GC

    IF your camera has a Firewire out, it may work. In FCP, set "Device Control" to "Non-Controllable Device" and use "Capture Now." Be sure to adjust the Capture Now limit to whatever you'll need.

  • Record live external audio

    Using the Garage Band app on iPod Touch, I want to record  some audio of myself playing acoustic guitar, through the ipod's  microphone. It seems the recorded file stops automatically after about 10 seconds. How can I record for a longer time period?

    You will need to make your section lenght longer.
    In the track view on the top right corner u will see a (+) sign.
    Click on it and u will sections listed( only one section if u have not added more sections.
    The first section will be called A.
    Click on the blue arrow next to section A... U will be presented with options to set the section length in bar numbers.
    You can also select automatic, in which case the section will get longer as your recording goes on.
    Hope this helps...
    Cheers

  • Recording video with audio using FaceTime

    Hi, I'm stupid, I need help, this is probably very simple but I can't seem to make it work!
    I have a new iMac 27inch, it has Facetime built in, or should I say it has a camera built in.
    Basically I want to record a video for Youtube of me playing the guitar, how do I do this, is this possible.
    I tried using iMovie, recorded away, played it back but there was no sound to it?
    Any help greatly appreciated. thanks

    If you look in System Preferences (under the Apple menu) in the Sound pane, under the Input tab, what device is selected? If you make a noise do you see the Input level change?
    Best of luck.

  • Flex, Record video and audio using web camera to computer temp, then upload

    Hello all,
    I'm not sure if this is 100% possible and have been looking around for  some time now for an answer but couldn't find one so have come here.
    Basically I want to create a flex application that sits in a web browser, that allows people to connect using a webcam and microphone, then record a short video that gets held temporarily on the computer until they finish and then it uploads the whole video to a server.
    I am able to achieve this by using a media server and streaming the video directly from the user to the server but this hinders the quality of the videos. On poor Internet connections the quality is rubbish.
    Is it at all possible to save video files to a computers temp memory and then upload them ?
    This would mean I can record the videos at a nice high quality and not have to worry about the Internet connection tampering with the quality.
    Many Thanks in advance !

    Thanks for the reply.  I knew it was not possible to write to the C drive or the users computer at all.
    But i really wanted to know if it was possible to write to a dataArray or byteArray within flex?
    I should of mentioned this sorry.

  • Want to record live instruments drums guitars etc

    hi all
    I am a new user too LE8 and although i love the program and the loops etc, i still yearn for the abilty to play my drums,bass and guitar. If you could point me in the way of a good interface id appreaciate it all advice is welcome
    Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The Drums could be a problem because you will need at least 4 mics.
    So you will need an audio interface with at least 4 mic pre:
    MOTU Traveler and 8pre
    Presonus FirePod (you can find this one at a very discounted price 'cause is out of stock) and Firestudio
    Apogee Ensemble
    Focusrite Sapphire
    and so on....

  • Recording live TV?

    I want to record live TV on a Mac Mini, but I don't know which one to get: Elgato's EyeTV HD or BlackMagic Design's Intensity Shuttle for Thunderbolt? I was hoping to record TV shows broadcast in HD into an "Uncompressed" format, which is a format supported with the Intensity Shuttle. Is "Uncompressed" video quality worth the hard drive space when compared to the Elgato's EyeTV HD's bulit-in hardware H.264 encoder? Also, will I ned to get an SSD or will the Mini's stock HDD be more than enough to record "Uncompressed" HD shows?

    But, I take it that I won't need to upgrade from the HDD to an SSD, not because of the read and write speeds, but rather the amount of storage space is more important than the read and write speeds of either the HDD vs. SSD?
    If you take the numbers above, even at a 16 bit pixel, you need a transfer
    rate of ~100 megabytes/second.  No sinlge HDD would be able to achieve
    that.  If there are any, it would not meet it by much.
    Actually, to acheive this rate of throughput (or greater), most studio
    type environments use several hard drives configured RAID0.
    Bottom line, If you are using a standard TV that you get in any store
    and not a studio grade monitor, you will not see any difference between
    "uncompressed" video vs. a Bluray HD level of compression.  Besides,
    anything you are getting via cable, satellite, or over the air, has already
    been compressed, so in my opinion, recording as uncompressed video
    would really seem pointless.

  • Want to record what I'm hearing on Aux 4 when soloed

    Hi, I've an effect on bus 4, that I want to record to an audio track...
    I want to record what I'm hearing exactly/only when I solo bus 4
    this bus has a flange effect 100% wet and is a really exaggerated flange effect...and loud too
    Currently, I can only figure to put input of audiotrack as bus 4 but this for some stupid reason is not working....
    all thats getting is what I'm SENDING to bus 4, a basic Closed Hat.
    Now I've been talking to a guy who seems to say my problem must be my send control is to little BUT
    even when I turn this full, the signal picked up/recorded to the audio track with bus 4 as input is STILL
    just the originasl hat sound- no flange.
    A solution to this would save me going mad here today!
    p.s can't bounce unfortunetly because I dont want to dither twice at 24 bits, which also the finished track will be later
    ..which is a totall different topic I don't wasnt to get into
    thanks

    What you want to record is not bus 4, but the Aux channel that is receiving the signal from bus 4.  Set the output of the Aux to a different bus, then use that as the input to the audio track.

  • Can I edit footage recorded in 1080p24 with 5.1ch surround audio using Premiere Elements 12? I'm only seeing stereo audio...

    Hi all,
    Quick one - I've recorded footage using a Sony HDR-PJ810 in 1080p24 with 5.1ch surround audio (currently experimenting with different frame rates, resolutions and audio).  If I import this into a 1080p24 preset in Premiere Elements 12 then I see only stereo audio with no obvious way to add a 5.1 channel.
    If I import this into a 5.1ch surround preset (like 1080i 30 5.1) then I can see the audio across 6 channels but it's obviously having to unevenly spread 24 frames across 30 spaces in order to match the frame rates (skipping some of the slots which I suspect will cause playback artifacts).
    Is there any way to get a 5.1ch surround audio track within a 1080p24 project? (I don't see it as a preset). Thanks!

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
    The answer is to create a 1080p24 5.1 Channel project preset.
    Please see my work on the approach to doing this and related information. If necessary, I will write instructions specific to 1080p24 5.1 channel

  • Stereo audio when using video camera?  Any way to do this?

    Is there any way to record in stereo (2 mics) when recording video with the onboard camera? Can the 30-pin connector receive a stereo signal when videoing?  (iPad3, iOS 7)

    I figured it out myself so thought I'd share this for anyone else who wants to record video with the audio portion in stereo, you can do this using Sonoma Wireworks' GuitarJack2 in conjunction with a mixer.  Keep in mind this isn't a portable solution at all but the resulting audio is excellent, especially in headphones so this is great for doing a video of yourself singing and playing guitar (for example) and you want to capture a good stereo audio signal.  Basically, the way is works is you plug your two mics (we're talking recording style microphones with the XLR connectors) into your mixer of choice.  You then run a line out of the mixer into the 1/8" audio input jack of the GuitarJack 2 (it's a stereo line-in) and the 30-pin connector goes into your iPhone/iPad.  There are a couple of settings you have to make with the software for the GuitarJack but once you've done that, you can then make some videos with terrific stereo sound.  You monitor the audio via the headphone jack of your mixer.  If anyone knows an easier way to do the same thing, please let me know but this is the only way I've found. 

  • Hey guys ! I use logic pro ... not logic proX ... and i want to record my drums with 4 mics. I got a mixer with also 4 inputs ( Behringer Xenyx QX 1202USB ) But in my Logic i can't take the third input !?!? i can only choose 1 and 2 .... Please Help :)

    What you need is not a mixer, but an audio interface with at least 4 mic inputs. There is a lot of choice there, but you should indicate a budget. You can go from, say, € 300 to € thousands, if you want.
    Roland UA 1010
    Focusrite Scarlett 18i8
    However, there are other options (like multi-out mixer plus multi in interface, or standalone mic preamps plus interface with 4 inputs, etc). I have little experience using these however so I really cannot say much about which one(s) to get. The two mentioned above both have four mic preamps, but they are by no means the only way to do it.
    The cheapest solution I can think of is to get a second 1204USB, plug it in, and in OS X create an Aggregate device (=the two are being merged into 'one virtual' interface with two discrete stereo (= four discrete mono) inputs. Disadvantage: you keep the same (limited) soundquality of the 16 bits convertors. Getting any of the interfaces mentioned earlier will also mean you'll make the significant step up from 16 to 24 bits sound.

  • I have version 4.1.2 and recorded a lead guitar track (live classical guitar) using the acoustic guitar echoes (flange enabled). Now, when I burn a CD, the guitar track is very weak. Any clues?

    I have version 4.1.2 and have been doing great rercording for several years. I use only real instruments. This week I added "acoustic guitar echoes" to my classical guitar, and that enabled the "flanger" setting which is what I wanted. Mysteriously, every time I burn a test CD, that lead guitar track is very weak, even though the recording level is quite high. Nothing I have done has helped the mix. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to circumvent it? I've tried burning straight from GB to a CD and also via Itunes; it doesn't make any difference. Thanks.

    P.S. I usually record my classical guitar on the "vocal" and "live performance" settings, using my Blue YETI mic, set on stereo. I get great recordings which always transfer perfectly to my CDs. I'm puzzled why adding the acoustic guitar echoes would be failing in the burn process. Hope this clarifies.
