Iphone 5 direct line in recording from mixer

I'm intending to buy an iphone in October and wants to find out if there are any external cables or devices I need in order to connect a direct line out from the mixer to the iphone 5 (I believe it should work the same in iphone 4s) to do recording. Or can I just plug in my 3.5mm audio out cable directly? Does the iphone 5 jack allow direct audio input? Please advise. Thanks!

did you solved your problem? My line ins disappeared too! (audigy 4)

Recording from Mixer to Muvo 200 mi

Hi ! i ?m thinking buying a muvo 200 micro so that i can record my dj sessions directly to the muvo 200 micro. I just want to know if the quality is ok and if the process of recording from the mixer to Muvo 200 micro is automatically converted in mp3.Because in Portugal that?s what they say.Please i really need help. I don?t need the player for nothing else except that, so the recording quality through the Line - In but be good and but be converted in mp3 , because if it is recorded to wav. 256 , 52 and even G is not that much memory ....Urgent Help.

The line-in recording quality is poor. See other threads for details.

Zen Nano Plus: Line in recording from micropho

I've got a Creative Zen Nano Plus and was very happy about its ability to encode MP3s from the line in jack.
Since the integrated microphone is not very good for recording (especially loud music) I tried to connect a microphone to the line in jack. Unfortunately I had to recognise that it doesn't record anything no matter if "Sync Track" is on or off.
I'd be glad if someone can tell me what exactly the problem is. Do I need some kind of special microphone (I read somewhere that it has to be "pre-amped", whatever that may mean) or is the line in jack designed for just recording from devices like a CD player? Help is very much appreciated. :-)

Big bump.
I did some research quite a while ago and thought that I should report the results for people also having that problem.
A line-in jack is not a microphone-in jack. The difference between them is that the former is not supplied with electricity, so it can't power simple external microphones on its own. Thus, a real microphone-in jack is needed, though none of the Creative products has one included. You will still need a pre-amped microphone to get recordings with proper volume, though. A good and cheap solution is the Archos Stereo Microphone that comes with a preamplifier including volume adjust (http://www.archos.com -> Accessories -> Audio accessories).
Microphone-in jacks can be found for example in the iri'ver iFP-7** and iFP-8** series. Since this players are discontinued and newer models don't have these jacks, it's kind of hard to still use that feature.

Lots of audio pops when recording from mixer

I'm using FCP 5.1.4 on a mac laptop (don't know what type it is, but think it's somewhat recent). I'm recording a stage play's audio.
Here's my audio flow:
Mixer's 1/4" headphone jack -> 1/4" Stereo audio cable -> 1/8" stereo adapter at other end (have also tried 1/8" mono) -> Laptop's microphone port (no other input audio port available)
I can get a good signal, but there's constant audio pops/clicks happening at a steady rate. I remember reading somewhere else that problems can arise when recording directly from a mixer due to the high signal strength coming from it. Any ideas why this is happening? How do I fix this?

Phillip Roh wrote:
What is a mic bus level output?
Most better mixers have direct bus ins and outs. Just like plugging in a mic.
Laptop doesn't have a line in port
Get a different computer if you're expecting to enjoy doing audio capture.
If i used the RCA or XLR output jacks, would the popping still occur?
Irrelevant, it's all about signal type, resistance, milliamperes, millivolts and milliwatts. Not connectors. You can put an XLR on your power supply and it wouldn't change the voltage.
I think my workplace may have a few USB audio things lying around. Like it has 2 XLR input ports, then connects to computer through USB. Do you know if they tend to need certain software, or if they're plug and play?< </div>
Unknown from here. this is not a FCP question.

Can't hear monitor / recording from mixer

I'm running three mics and a direct feed from a pre-amp into a Yamaha mixer and then from the mixer to the MBP using Garage Band purely as a recording device.
But I can't hear the mix that the Mac is recording.
Never used GB08 before.
Help! (Band goes on in an hour or two.)

Thanks!
(Part of the problem was that I was using a friend's BOSE headphones and he hadn't mentioned they have to powered on separately. Ok, that was dumb.)

Recording from Mixer to 13" Macbook Pro

Hey everybody,
First let me be frank, I don't know much about audio equipment/mixers etc., but I do know some. Anyway, I do a lot of remote high school play-by-play broadcasts using four separte external mics that run from my Yamaha MG102c mixer, back into my 13" Macbook Pro. The problem I seem to be having is figuring out how to get my computer to recognize the external source (Mixer), so that when I go to record my broadcast for future listening, I can just use garageband. Now, I know they make USB/Firewire mixers, but i had to do this on a budget. The cord I have that I thought would connect the mixer back to my mac is just a basic right and left 1/4" plug to 1/8" adapter that runs to the single headphone jack in my computer. I don't know if I am not using the correct line channels to get the audio that is coming from the mix back, but for some reason I continue to have trouble. Anyway, any help would be much appreciated.

MBP = Mac Book Pro.
Here is what I would do:
1) Verify that there is indeed audio coming out of your adaptor cable. You can do this by plugging that cable into some other audio device, to confirm that it is working. Also verify that you are coming out of the mixer a line or tape level.
2) Once you have verified that the mixer/cable is correct, plug it into the one audio jack on the 13" Mac Book that doubles as a line in and headphone output jack.
3) Launch Garage Band, and go to the menu Garage Band > Preferences. When the preferences open, click on the tab for Audio/Midi.
4) Set your Audio Input to Built-In Line Input.
You should be good to go.

Recording from Mixing board to GB

I am a teacher in a middle school. In my industrial tech. class we have a radio broadcasting station. At this station I have a mixing board as well as other euipment. Now my mixing board has an output that runs to a reciever so I can play it over the speakers. I unplugged this and plugged in a RCA to 1/8" cable and plugged this into my macbook mic in. When i go to record music in GB all i get is a lot of static, but with the same set up just recording Talking into a mic through mixing board set up. it comes through just fine. Why do i get the static and how can i fix it?

Advice on recording vinyl mixes from 2 X turntables using Adobe Audition.

Hi,
I am a creative cloud member using the apps mostly for website design. I have a large collection of vinyl records. I am looking to digitize some 30 minute vinyl mixes from two technics and mixer and was thinking of using the Adobe Audition App which I can download to my laptop. Any advice to get me connected and started greatly appreciated !

what kind of mixer are you using? from my experience, as a vinyl collector turned vinyl dj... going between 45rpm 7"s, 45rpm 12"s and 33 1/3 12" LPs (mono AND stereo). good to know your mixer and your outputs on the analog side. i have found that to be the easiest way to bypass the heavy restoration work.
for relatively quick mixes. i just organize my audio files in the Files window and then start dragging and dropping into one track instead of any of those templates Audition has ready. The DJ Drop is completely ridiculous for someone like me who is spinning only 45s, recording from mixer booth to a tascam mxII recorder since I am doing that manually.
hope this helps.... somewhat? i am working on a 5 hour mix right now between 4 DJs and it's easier to just use regions instead of various tracks. Still a hell of a project.

Are their line in recording adapters?

the guitar amp app would technically have to create direct line IN to transmit sound from a guitar.. thus ipad 2 i would think should have direct line in recording capabilities. Does anyone know of specific adapters for this purpose? perhaps the actual guitar amp adapter would work with the right recording app?

You have the line in going into the correct jack, the 3/32 mini jack and not the /8 headphone jack right? Some people have mistakingly plugged the line in into the headphone jack thinking that is how they recorded.

Lin-in recording on Zen Photo

I want to know if the Zen Micro Photo will allow line-in recording from an exterior source .

Colin,
I'm afraid not. The Zen Micro Photo player does not have a Line In jack unlike player like the Zen Neeon.

Recording from muted Line-

Hello,
I'm using Audigy 4. I want to record from Line-In [using eg. Sound Recorder]. I don't want to hear what's on Line-In and I mute it.
Is there any way to do it's When line-in is not muted it works when I record from Analog Mix. When it's muted it doesn't work.
Thanks for help in advance,
Michal

The "record without monitor" option was created for compatibility with TV-card recording, and it depends whether you want Line-In to come back on when you stop recording or that's not a problem for you. If you want to record Analog Mix with Line-In but effecti'vely have it muted for playback for the duration, there's a less direct way to do that with the EAX control panel:
. Launch the EAX control panel.
2. Select an effect preset to base this on, perhaps "(No Effects)".
3. Click on the "Source" tab.
4. Select the "Analog Mix (Line/CD/Aux/TAD/PC)" source.
5. Select each effect in turn, and lower the amount to 0 (<i>including</i> "Original Sound" ).
6. If desired, type a new name for this setting in the box at the top, like "Mute Analog In". Use the button with the floppy disk icon to save this preset for future use.

Recording from LINE-IN problem

Hi at all,
I have a problem with recording input audio coming from LINE-IN of my pc.
I looked up on google and on this forum to find something useful but I found nothing. If I try to access line-in I get exception: Line unsupported.
I found a discovery code to find what I have on my pc:
ArrayList<Mixer.Info> mixerInfos = new ArrayList<Mixer.Info>(Arrays.asList(AudioSystem.getMixerInfo()));
Line.Info portInfo = new Line.Info(Port.class);
for (Mixer.Info mixerInfo: mixerInfos) {
     Mixer mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(mixerInfo);
     if (mixer.isLineSupported(portInfo)) {
          // found a Port Mixer
          System.out.println("Found mixer: " + mixerInfo.getName());
          System.out.println("\t" + mixerInfo.getDescription());
          System.out.println("Source Line Supported:");
          ArrayList<Line.Info> srcInfos = new ArrayList<Line.Info>(Arrays.asList(mixer.getSourceLineInfo()));
          for (Line.Info srcInfo: srcInfos) {
               Port.Info pi = (Port.Info) srcInfo;
               System.out.println("\t" + pi.getName() + ", " + (pi.isSource() ? "source" : "target"));
               showControls(mixer.getLine(srcInfo));
          } // of for Line.Info
          System.out.println("Target Line Supported:");
          ArrayList<Line.Info> targetInfos = new ArrayList<Line.Info> (Arrays.asList(mixer.getTargetLineInfo()));
          for (Line.Info targetInfo: targetInfos) {
               Port.Info pi = (Port.Info) targetInfo;
               System.out.println("\t" + pi.getName() + ", " + (pi.isSource() ? "source" : "target"));
               showControls(mixer.getLine(targetInfo));
     } // of if

Follow my code taken from above example:
               File outputFile = new File("audios/linein-rec.wav");
               AudioFormat recordingFormat = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED, 44100.0F, 16, 2, 4, 44100.0F,
                         false);
               DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(TargetDataLine.class,
                         recordingFormat);
               TargetDataLine recordLine = null;
               try {
                    recordLine = (TargetDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
                    recordLine.open(recordingFormat);
               } catch (LineUnavailableException e) {
                    System.out.println("unable to get a recording line");
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    System.exit(1);
               adjustRecordingVolume();
               AudioFileFormat.Type fileType = AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE;
               KokRecorder recorder = new KokRecorder(recordLine, fileType, outputFile);
               recorder.start();
               System.out.println("Recording...");
               try {
                    Thread.sleep(5000);
               } catch (InterruptedException e1) {
                    e1.printStackTrace();
               recorder.stopRecording();
               System.out.println("Recording stopped.");
     public static void adjustRecordingVolume() throws Exception {
          Port.Info recPortInfo = new Port.Info(Port.class, "Capture", true);
          Port recPort = (Port) AudioSystem.getLine(recPortInfo);
          setRecControlValue(recPort);
     private static void setRecControlValue(Port inPort) throws Exception {
          inPort.open();
          Control[] controls = inPort.getControls();
          for (int i = 0; i < controls.length; i++) {
               if (controls[i] instanceof CompoundControl) {
                    Control[] members = ((CompoundControl) controls).getMemberControls();
                    for (int j = 0; j < members.length; j++) {
                         setCtrl(members[j]);
                    } // for int j
               } // if
               else
                    setCtrl(controls[i]);
          } // for i
          inPort.close();
     private static void setCtrl(Control ctl) {
          if(ctl.getType().toString().equals("Select")) {
               ((BooleanControl)ctl).setValue(true);
          if(ctl.getType().toString().equals("Volume")) {
               FloatControl vol = (FloatControl) ctl;
               float setVal = vol.getMinimum() + (vol.getMaximum() - vol.getMinimum()) * 0.8f;
               vol.setValue(setVal);
Thanks in advance.

I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and preferences but no sound from mixer to iMac. Need help.

I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and Preferences but I can't get no sound from mixer to iMac only sound from iMac to mixer. I only can record sound using microphone line in. Please help.

Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

Recording from vinyl directly onto m

Had a quick look thru the FAQ's and didn't see an answer to this question, but apologies if it has been discussed before.
I've heard that it's possible to record an analogue signal (in my case vinyl records from my hi-fi) directly onto a Creative mp3 player. is this true? One one external website they mentioned that the MuVo can do this - all that is needed is an adaptor for the Creative line-in jack to accomodate the standard input from a hi-fi amplifier...
Would appreciate any tips, advice etc on how to do this, which Creative models support this and any extra hardware/software required.
many thanks

I don't think that recording direct to the player- is this what you're talking about?- is the best way to go.
Personally, I would just go and download the albums you have- owning the vinyl makes it legal for you to download the song from a peer to peer network.
If you're hell-bent on transferring them, going table to computer is the way you'll want to do it. Now, if I'm not mistaken, a phono signal isn't a perfect line-level, so you'll need to compensate with the recording level on the computer. Unless you have a top-of-the line sound card with RCA jacks connected to a dri'vebay component, you'll need a /8'' to stereo RCA adapter, which you can find at almost any electronics store that carries adapters.
In my opinion, the best program to use to record audio is Audacity, which you can download for free at http://audacity.sourceforge.net . Audacity will let you export directly to MP3 after you point it in the direction of the LAME encoder's DLL, which is included with many players. Chances are you have one of them already.

Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks

I do some VJ-type work, involving playback of QuickTime files from the computer to projections, and I get good results using ProRes 422. That's convenient, because ProRes 422 is such a great editing codec, too.
Traditionally, VJs use PhotoJPEG codec, which also works well, but it's a bad editing codec. So you would have to export an edited master, then convert.
If you want it to look as good as possible, definitely schedule some time to test the footage on the wall. You may want to change the color correction of your footage to match the projectors. And if you feed the video wall some flat gray, you can see if any of the projectors need to be adjusted.
I'm not sure what application you're using for playback, but QuickTime Player 7 works well. It has an option to play fullscreen on an external monitor (View > Present Movie…).
