I want to record sound, then post it:

I have a weird engine sound i'd like to record from my iphone and get the recording to my XP pc so i can post it in a automotive forum posting.
Ideas as to a how-to anyone ??

Hey Livi 2412,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to record what is on your screen. I would recommend that you follow this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Want to record ext. synth/voice as tracks in GarageBand 3/Controller Q's?

I want to record sound from my microKORG into GarageBand 3. I purchased a cable with the right connectors (which unfortunately I can't even find now, but when I do) to go from the output of the microKORG to the input on the mac Mini, but I was never able to hear any sound when recording it.
I AM able to use the microKORG synth as a controller for GB 3 using an M-Audio Uno USB cord, but have a MIDI keyboard with larger/more piano keys (though the first key is broken) I plan to use for playing instruments in GB instead if not playing sound into a track from the microKorg.
Also since I can't find the connection cables yet- or even if I do- should I use my Griffin iMic with cables coming out of the microKORG into the RCA cables in the Griffin iMic, hooked up via USB (does the iMic even have a preamp in it? Basically, will it sound better anyway to use the iMic until I purchase an input device/GB controller like Apogee's Duet? And, if I get a mic, can I use it for recording vocals?) Should I get an old iControl (I heard it had a MIDI input, which I can use for my microKORG since I only have 1 free USB input on my Mac Mini, as I have a USB ext, HD- by the way, can I save all my GB audio files- or even the whole GB application- onto my ext. HD, I've learned you can move your iTunes Library to one? Just how useful WAS the iControl, and will it work with the new GB 5 in iLife '09?) or just wait till I can get the Apogee Duet (I hear it's a superior Firewire controller with great sound and built-in presets for GB and Logic, though it's $500) but I'm a bit confused as to how the Apogee can supposedly control GB so well with just 1 knob that I guess is turnable and clickable?
Finally, as a choice for a new keyboard controller, I know you can't control many functions in GB via a MIDI controller, but since I could possibly also use it to control the microKORG's sounds and play normal-sized piano keys, as well as maybe using it with other software, would you recommend I get the M-Audio Oxygen 61-key controller with lots of MIDI assignable buttons (or move up to the even more MIDI programmable Axiom 61 key, which I can get for $230), or just go down to the Keystation 61 ES, with semi-weighted keys (I can get both the Oxygen and the Keystation at around $140 at jr.com). Or if I want to give up some MIDI control for a full keyboard (though I may NOT want to, since I plan to learn other programs like Live and Reason, which I suppose could benefit from the Oxygen's extensive MIDI control- can anyone confirm this?), if I AM willing to give up as many controller functions for the use of a full-sized keyboard, should I go with the Keystation 88 ES, which may be my best bet, as I found one used at $129, if I use the iControl and/or Apogee Duet eventually for a controller, I just don't know how well it can control my microKORG- would I still have to use it for programming/instrument changes and the keystattion 88 es just for playing the instruments? I know I have a ton of questions here, and would appreciate any help anyone can offer- what I need to do first is see if I can use the iMic to record my microKORG into GB 3, and continue using it even after I find my cables that go directly into the computer from it?

No, the iMic has Left and Right stereo RCA inputs, that's the whole point, ...
Then you must have a very special model - all the ones I know have 1/8" inputs:
But anyway - it doesn't make a lot of sense to pick your hardware equipment according to the cables you have. An adaptor from RCA to mini-jack or vice versa costs a single digit dollar amount. Why don't you just get your gear connected and then come back with precise questions? It's not a very good idea to poor out all the questions you ever had about recording in one post and expect concise answers.

How to fix flash player, it recognizes my microphone, but doesn't record sound on websites?

We shortly I wanted to record something on http://www.musipedia.org/microphone.html so it asked me to allow usage of adobe flash player and when I wanted to record sound he didn't do it so i got to settings and checked microphone it was there and it was set on wright one os i tried to clap in front of him but chart didn't move. Next I went to audio setting on windows to check it and there microphone works fine. So my question is what is wrong why flash player won't record sound from mic? tnx in advance for replies.

Odd...
I got top the linked page and set up my mic, and pressed "Record"...
I see the "scrubber" moving to indicate that it's indeed picking up the sound from my mic, but on playback, it's dead silent.
I've got a $90 Logitech porfessional headset with stereo noise cancelling mic, so I can say with pretty good assurance it ISN'T hardware on my end. The mic works with Skype, FaceTime, and QuickTime for recording.
At this point I don't really know what to do.

I want to record a keybord connected by usb in an IMac and only sound like an ambient microphone. What is wrong?

I want to record a keyboard connected by usb port and only sound like an ambient microphone. What configuration is wrong? Thank you

The optimum choice is to format it ExFAT, but do so on the PC, not the Mac. Alternatively, you can make two partitions - one for the Mac; one for the PC. Partition the drive using GUID when you make the two partitions. Format one using Mac OS Extended, Journaled. Format the other on your PC using NTFS if you won't need to write to it from the OS X side or use ExFAT if you do.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) you will use for Windows from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to MSDOS.
6. Click on the Erase button.
When you connect the drive to your PC reformat the PC volume to either NTFS or ExFAT.

I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

Capturing on a Mac- can't turn off the sound (still want to record the audio)

How do you turn off audio output during capture on a mac but I still want to record the audio?

Easy on a PC, I click the "speaker" icon at lower right of Windows screen and bring up the audio mixer and just MUTE Premiere, then I can surf the web, watch online videos, listen to music etc, without hearing the capture audio. Assuming that's what you wish to do? Must be a similar option on Mac
Thanks

In imovie 11 when adding background music it always goes to any open spot where I want to keep recorded sound only how can I designate where background music starts without having to drag to where it should start. any help out there thanks

How to add background music to a specific point in imovie 11 it now just goes to any open spot that has origional sound I want to keep I then have to drag it to where I want it located am I missing something need some help Please.

Drag it from the Music Browser to the frame of video where you want it to start and drop it there. It will appear as a colored ribbon beneath the video clips, rather than as a colored background.

Recording sounds on the fly

Can anyone tell me if you can record sounds on the fly?
By that I mean during my voice recording and not in post production.
Our podcast is a live event. We do no editing or postproduction. Currently I use a PC to play sounds and feed them through the mixer into the line in on my iMac. I was hoping that GB3 podcast recording would allow me to just double click a file and have it added to my mix. I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
Most podcasters I know do zero post production. I can't understand why Apple wouldn't provide this feature.
Thanks,
Bry

Seems like we both have the same problem! I figured out how to assign an mp3 to a track then drag it to the "Musical Typing Keyboard" See this thread for details:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1512131��
You can also see my thread too, I appear to be asking for the same thing but dragging in each audio track seems way too complicated. I just want to play my audio clips from iTunes (from a little tempary playlist) during my show aka Daily Source Code. Let's figure this ***** out!
Here is my thread:

Recording sound from the PC

I am currently running a mixer into the front audio input jack on my PC, and have all external stuff (mic, mini disk, etc) coming through that.
Am I able to set up audition so that it can also record sound from the PC. For example, if I want to grab audio from a you tube video, or have an online voice chat or something enabled, can I open audition and record it? I have tried, but not been successful. My only idea is having to run the audio out of the PC, into a channel in the mixer, and then back into the PC with everything else.
Any help?

Recording sound without Flash Media Server?

Hello,
I am totally new to Flash Media Server I need to be able to record sound via a Flash app and save it to a server preferably without the use of a Flash Media Server type setup. There is no requirement for live streaming.
Is it possible to record the sound and save in memory then pass the data/file as a query parameter to the server?
I don't even know if I've posted this in the correct place... any help/guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use any publisher to publish like FMLE and publish the streams to the application in applications folder suppose application name is sampleApp then create a folder in applications folder of FMS root directory and then keep the below mains.asc file which does the recording of published streams to the sampleApp application.
//main.asc
application.onConnect=function(clientObj)
return true;
application.onPublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){
trace("in application publish");
streamObj.record("record");
application.onUnpublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){
trace("on unpublish");
streamObj.record(false);
I think this should solve your problem.
Regards,
Amit

HP Probook 6550 - record sound from web

Try another browser such a Safari. If you get the same issue then it's probably the site, if it works OK on another browser then it's probably Chrome and you should re-post on a Chrome forum discussion board.
