Input cassette into garage band with only one input device

I have gone to sound in preferences.  I only get internal mike.  Now I did adjust sound higher.  I tried again to input the cassette and came with zerp.
I used a 3 ring dubber instead of a 2 ring dubber and still I get nothing.  There has to be some simple thing that I am not doing!!!
I will once again try my 2 ring dubber and see if it works.  I use a splitter so I can hear on my ear phone so I know the music is on.
By the way as I am trying to input sound the only thing I get is any other sound made in the house.  Such as scraping and radio etc. but no sound from my cassette.  I must need to turn off that feature but I don't know how?? help   baswarey

Thank so much, both of you! I follewed directions directly above, but it didn't work until I added a new track and selected a "real audio" track.
Then for kicks I went back into my mac's system settings and undid the audio input thing, and it still works.
So it looks like the biggest mistake I was making was not creating a new track, so I didn't get the "real instrument" option, and naturally forgot about it. (Weirdly, I don't think of my little Casio keyboard from literally 1981 a "real instrument"...wasn't it the pinnacle of electronics in its day?)

  • Purpose of iCloud with only one iOS Device?

    I have given an iPad as a gift to a friend who does not have any other Apple products. Aside from backing up data, is there there any other purpose for iCloud? Will it sync to a PC? And if so what Apps? Short of iTunes, is there any reason to use iCloud for Anyang else if they have no other Apple products?

    Firstly iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes, iCloud is essentially a sync service for calendars, contacts and other data.
    iCloud Will sync data with a PC.

    10.5.8 with latest garageband 5.1 with MBOX 1. On Nov 4.09 I did a software update, now i get no output volume or input volume to the computer itself. I get it from head phones from my mbox, but not to the computer. Before the software update It worked great. I've tried upgrading software through digidesign .com, but they dont seem to have one for what i need. any way to get my old garage band back? go from 5.1 to earlier? Or maybe it was the upgrade to 10.5.8. update? Can i go back in time lol?
    Any help would be appreciated
    BTW
    Ive tried all the system sound prefs, and garage band drivers. Back and forth.
    cheers

  • Importing m2t into iMovie with only one conversion

    Ok, so m2t files have been beaten to death in these forums, but I'm still puzzled. Here's my situation. I have a Canon HV20 and only replay the tape once to avoid wear and save time (really?). So I capture to m2ts. Fine. Now I'd like to be able to use these in iMovie with only one conversion. I can convert the stream to a framed (QT) format like AIC. But I'd like to do this just once. Meaning, when I convert clip.m2t to clip.mov I'd like to drag this to iMovie and have iMovie just "copy" an not import/convert. Can I convert to a format where I can just drag to the media folder in the given iMovie project?
    For those watching. My toolchain is
    1. rewind the tape
    2. capture with HDVsplit (win), DVHScap (mac), or whatever
    3. split/clip the m2t files with HDVsplit (win) or MPEGstremclip (mac/win), or HDVxDV (mac) and leave as m2t
    4. convert the m2t clips I want in my movie to QT+AIC
    5. import these QT+AIC .mov clips into iMovie
    6. edit
    I'd like to optimize 4 and 5. (And by the way, someone should port HDVsplit to mac.)
    Thanks,
    WL

    MPEG Streamclip allows you to export as QuickTime with Apple Intermediate Codec (also QT Player can do this but I prefer MPEG Streamclip for these tasks). I think you should set the resolution to 1440x1080 because that's what iMovie uses internally for 1080i.
    I did a quick test and iMovie seems to accept such AIC-encoded .mov files directly to its Media folder. But run some tests through your complete workflow before trusting this will work!
    Ok this was helpful. If I take 1440x1080 QT/AIC output from MPEGstreamclip, I can efficiently copy the file in the project. Works like a charm and looks great in iMovie. (I can also now take the 1920x1080 QT/AIC output from streamclip and do the same; not sure what change there. I did a test on a 1:24 length mpeg-2 stream. The 1440x1080 with and without deinterlacing were 700MB and 600MB respectively, while the 1920x1080 is at 800MB. So it makes sense to do 1440x1080 since iMovie handles it fine.)
    In summary (hope this helps someone), here's what I do:
    0a. Macbook with iMovie HD
    0b. LaCie macos formated external drive drive (hfs+)
    0c. Canon HV20 filmed at 1080i (not sure what do with the 24p cinemode)
    1. use DVHScap (mac) to capture the stream from the HV20. This gives file.m2t, for example. This can be viewed with VLC, for example. (on windows use HDVsplit to capture). Copy the m2t file to the external drive.
    2. now use MPEGstreamclip to disect the m2t file. use the 'i' and 'o' to mark inputs and outputs and then "save as". Save this as file_clip.ts for example. The .ts is the same as an .m2t file, so save it as either.
    3. now you should have 1 or more file_clip.ts depending on how many times you do step 1 and 2.
    4. use MPEGstreamclip in batch mode to take the file_clip.ts or m2t files and "export to Quicktime". Select Apple Intermediate Codec as the type compression type. Yank the quality up to 100%. Select 1400x1080 (4:3) as the frame size and click "deinterlace video" (my opinion on the deinterlacing). Save the movie on the external drive as file_clip.mov.
    5. now start a new iMovie HD project and save the project to the external drive. Quit iMovie. open-apple-click on the myproject.iMovieProject to "show package contents". After this you can move your file_clip.mov files to the media directory under this package. A move is best since copy does an actual copy. Move just moves a pointer.
    6. start up iMovie and view the trash can when prompted ("Some stray files were found in the project...."). Now drag the trash files to the clips area in iMovie.
    7. now edit.
    This is a nice approach for a couple of reasons. The .m2t files are great storage formats. The conversion from mpeg-2 stream (m2t) to a framed format like QT+AIC (mov) is done +only once+. And the quality is maintained. Also, I can do this all to an external harddrive, which is nice since I'm limited on my macbook.
    I don't have HD gear. Currently I archive SD DV to tape and to big harddisks. In the future I would like to continue to archive HD content in its native compressed (non-AIC) form. Obviously this works via DVHScap, right?
    Yes. The m2t files are a great archival format. The 1:25 long clip above was only 275MB while the framed formats were 3 times that. The stream saves differences so it's a lot more efficient (but you don't have frames for editing). VLC is also quick as quick for viewing these. DVHScap never drops any packets (mpeg-2) when capture (for me at least). HDVsplit is also great, but only for windows. HDVxDX also worked like a charm.
    Well anyway, thanks for the chatter.

  • IMac into cam adaptor into garage band works,but GB only sees left channel.

    iMac into cam adaptor into garage band works,but GB only sees left channel. Do you think it's the wiring of iMIcs USB vs. the camera adaptor? Or is there a switch in GarageBand that will bring in both channels? Thanks!

    Sorry, I meant iMic into Camera Adaptor, not iMac. (no option to edit and re post ones own post)

    Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one.  Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

  • Can't Import Right Protected AAC songs into Garage Band

    I have always been able to take a track from my iTunes library (whether the track was a purchased iTunes or one ripped from a CD) and bring into Garage Band to play with (I'm currently trying to make christmas ringtones for my Droid). All of a sudden, Garage Band is giving me an error code that I can't import songs that are right protected. I just imported (and saved as a ringtone) a song and now, 20 minutes later I can't do it. Does anyone have an answer for me? I appreciate any feedback.

    It was never possible to import DRM protected songs from iTunes. The others were probably unprotected songs (which you can buy on iTunes too).

  • How to make 1D Array but with only one element filled in Real Time

    Hi folks,
    here I am with another question. I want to implement an prediction discrete state space observer which is going to run on a CRIO real time target. I am going to do it just like in the example which comes with LV.
    I have some questions regarding the input and outputs which in the example those are "dummy".
    My model is a SISO model, but the function "Construct SS model" returns parameters (A,B,C,D Matrices) as 2D arrays, so once you connect the cluster model into the Discrete Observer model, it takes y and u as 1D arrays despite of the fact that there is a SISO model.
    I realized that the function I am using in the simulations, uses 1D arrays but with only one element filled:
    Does anyone knows how to implement such 1D arrays in Real Time? I guess the way to do it is preallocating one array of zeros of size 1, and then recirculating it through some SR, and replacing the element with my real input and output, but at the dummy.vi, they are using a simple "build array"
    function.

    Ok, I did it that way. But I am facing another problem right now...
    At some point the Discrete Observer return a NAN array, you will see the code in the code snippet?
    I get rid of that component by component, but the observer gets "stuck" in it. So my Control law is zero... but the state stimate is NAN.
    Also I am attaching the VI.
    I do not know why, since in the simulation program all runs well. any thoughts? Maybe the internal numeric precision of the State Space Model?

  • How  to  record  from  mini  disc  player  into  garage  band  if  possible

    I have some audio recorded material on a minidisc player/recorder which i would like to put into the computer to work on-can i put it into garage band 2 ? and if not is thier a free or not free software/programme i can download in order to record in quality what i have on the minidisc recorder.Also can you suggest any programmes/software (like cubase)which i could use to work on the sounds i have put onto the apple mac.

    Again, mine doesn't have a USB port, so the only way to get sound on the disk is to record it through it's line in (optical or 1/8" trs). My mini disk player is old.
    I think the new ones do have a mp3 import function (and a USB port or something similar)...don't know how it works though...I think that it just records them through it's line in though...
    A mini disk is like a very small cd-r that is constantly record enabled (unless you switch the tab), like a tape casette. There is an algorythm that allows the minidisk to hold as much info as it does...that's where my confusion comes in about how it imports/exports.
