IMovie voice recording

I want to do a voice recording in iMovie, then extract it and save as an aiff. sound file---I want no video on this project--only sound--can this be done, and to where may I export it? This rather than $80 bucks for sound studio 3.5 or other---AND, maybe there's a great sound program I haven't heard of---thanks

Yes, you can do that. Create a blank iMovie project. Record your audio into the iMovie project. (You can use an external mic, or the mic built into your mac, or make a video/audio clip on your camcorder and extract the audio in iMovie. ) Then in the iMovie menu, go to File>Export>Quicktime. In the "compress movie for" pop-up menu, choose "Expert settings". Click "Share". Set the expert pop-up menu to "sound to AIFF". Clck the options button. Select format Linear PCM, channels Stereo L-R, rate 48 Khz, sample size 16 bits. Leave the other boxes unchecked. Click "O.K." Give it a name. Indicate where you want to save it (I use Desktop). Click "save".
You now have an aiff sound file that you can do whatever you want with. I import mine into iTunes.

  • My iMovie voice recording is suddenly not working. As I record, it shows the green bars; however, when I play the recording it does not play my voice over at all nor show the green bars. I was mid-way through my project when this problem occured.

    As far as I can see, it's random. Everything. Nothing makes any sense!
    A the moment, the iPhone is playing music with the SIM card, but without anything plugged into it, but it's occasionally fading in and out.
    Oh, and I doubt this is related, but about two months ago the iPhone failed to show that the battery was draining - it was stuck at 100%. This went on for a few days, it wouldn't even warn me at the 20% mark, it would just shut off. This happened for at least three full charges - I remember at one point it suddenly started working again at about the 70% mark, I'm not sure if it was alright after that or if it went glitchy on the next charge... but in any case, the problem mysteriously never reappeared after those few days.

  • Digital voice recorder compatible iMovie 11

    I film with canon vixia hf r30. Want portable voice recorder that can be edited with video.

    Hi
    I use a ZOOM H4n - and it records in many qualities BUT
    • .wma
    • .mp3
    May be they work - BUT I always convert all audio to
    • .aiff 44.1 kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - or -
    • .aiff 48 kHz (16-bit) (as on miniDV tapes)
    I use Audacity to do it (free on Internet)
    And I have very few problem with my Audio.
    alt. I also use a second miniDV Camera as tape recorder (to get one more level of security if anything fails I can fall back onto this tape)

  • How can you create a voice recording and save it as an mp3?

    I want to create a voice recording and save it as an mp3.  How can I do that on the MAC?  Right now I can only think of recording the voice in iMovie, but it does not have a choice to save as an mp3.

    Rather that iMovie, you may want to check our Audacity.
    It's a free, open-source audio editor and recorder.
    You can easily save a recording as an MP3.

  • IMovie not recording sound with iSight image

    In system preferences > sound, I have Built-in microphone selected. But Audacity won't record sound (never works anyway) and iMovie will record image from the iSight, but no sound.
    What am I missing?

    You're welcome. After further investigation, not only does the volume in the system preferences affect the mic, the actual "voice over" (microphone icon) does as well, even though I'm recording with iSight and not, specifically, a voice over.
    However, fantastic YouTube video diaries or whatever they're called must be done on a PC or a Mac that knows how to shut up. If there's one thing right now that's about to make this computer fly through the air, it's the fans that rev up to 6000 and even an external mic picks up the noise. Not much I can do about it. Maybe Snow Leopard and iLife '09 solved the issue.

  • Voice recording in iTunes

    I am trying to record my own voice (just talking) and make it an mp3 file to send it as an attachment in the e-mail.
    Is that possable with iTunes or do I need some other Mac program?
    I could do it in iMovie HD 6, copy it to the desktop and bring it to iTunes. From there I'll change it to mp3 and drag it to the desktop again.
    Is there an easier way?

    This link is specifically about creating a podcast, but it talks about voice recording in GarageBand. Check out this link:

    And if you have iLife, you should have GarageBand.

  • How can I hear my voice recording in my movie?

    I can hear my voice recording on the cutting table and I can see it on the imovie but i cant hear it on the actual movie that I am trying to make

    Turn monitoring on in the Info pane of the track.

  • Does Blackberry have Free Instant Voice Recording and Transcription?

    what i really would like is a portable device that can both record conversations and instantly transcribe them into a format that can be quickly and easily edited (the instant transcription doesn't have to be accurate) .. if the transcription can be edited by deleting or inserting more transcribed audio and if the editor permits audio playback of the transcribed file cued from places in the transcription, that would be a plus.
    it would be ideal if these features can exist in a phone with a small, physical keyboard, gps. a camera, wifi, mass data storage capability and expandable memory. i almost purchased the Torch 9810 sight unseen until i realized that what i really wanted was a voice recorder + transcriber (i already have other devices for gps, photos and internet so if these features come with, that's a bonus).
    does anyone know of any device/app like this on the market (i'm a complete noob when it comes to smartphones)?

  • Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

    Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

    You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
    Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

  • Wanted: Sample source code for voice recorder

    I've been google searching for some sample source code to implement a voice recorder on my AudioVox 5600. I would like to learn how to read from the microphone and write to my SD card in a standard file format like wav, wma or mp3.
    Can anyone help me understand how to do this?
    Thanks,
    Siegfried

    Basic would be ;
    RESULT_FIELDS -xxx = <SOURCE_FIELDS> -xxx
    you have the source fields as source, and result fields for as the target. In between you can check some conditions as in other routines of transformation.
    BEGIN OF tys_SC_1, shows your source fields ( in your case DSO chars and key figures)
    BEGIN OF tys_TG_1, , shows your result fields ( in your case Cube characteristics)
    Hope this helps

  • Voice recording for jabber client

    hi,
    is there any voice recording solution for the jabber client via expressway E?
    seems there is no solution around, is it not supported?
    is it possible to use TCS to record the calls made by external jabber client?
    thanks.

    1. Use span (no span-less\Bridge_option) ports (via "expressway c e"  from outside)
    2. Use span-less\Bridge_option  and VPN access to connect from outside (without expressway).

  • How can I use my iPod Classic (6th Gen) as a voiice recorder?, How can I use my iPod Classic (6th Gen) as a voice recorder?

    I just bought an iPod Classic, and in the shop, the demo model had a "Voice Recorder" option on the menu, and I read somewhere that my ipod could be used as a voice recorder, and I was just wondering how to do this? Do I need a microphone??

    Yes, you'll need to purchase a microphone for it.  Just do a simple Google search for iPod Classic microphone, and should get a number of good hits.  Here is one such product that would work.

  • How can I use my ipod touch 2G as a voice recorder?

    I'd like to use my old ipod touch as a voice recorder. It's an ipod touch 2G (8 gig) using iOS 2.2.1. I tried updating the iOS but an unknown error (-1) occurred. I'm using iTunes 11.3 on a MacBook Pro 10.7.5. Any ideas?

    Error (-1)
    Try on another computer
    Also see:
    iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes
    Then see:
    -1 error
    -1 error too
    If still problem  that means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If you get it to work I then the 2G iPod has a built-in Voice Memos app but you will need to purchase an microphone since the 1G-3G iPods did not have built-in mics. The mic plugs into the headphone jack.
