Is there a difference between mono & stereo when recording with single mic?

When creating an audio track to record vocals through a single condenser mic, is there a difference between selecting mono or stereo? if so, what's the difference?

Assuming your source is mono, there will be no sonic difference, and recording to a stereo Logic track will simply waste disk space. If you have a stereo microphone (i.e. it's actually a pair of mics packaged together), then it makes sense to record in stereo. If you're using a standard single microphone, record to a mono Logic track.

Track goes silent when recorded with external mic

Hello,
I have a Rode Stereo Videomic plugged into a griffin Imic which is plugged into the line in port on the back of my Imac.
it sounds fantastic.
only problem is. when I record a track. I can see that it recorded, but when I try to play it I can't hear it.
in order to hear it I have to quit and re open garage band... EVERY TIME. very frustrating.
on top of that. I have to unplug and replug the Imic into my computer every time I open garage band in order to detect it.
any suggestions?
thank you!

Is there any difference between the 2 different USB cords when syncing???

I know this may be a paranoid question to ask but I just wanted to make sure.
Is there any difference between the newer USB cords with the shorter plug (the end that goes into the iPhone) and the older ones with the bigger, square-shaped plugs that you can pinch on the sides to retract?
Is there a difference in transfer speed, syncing speed, or reliability, or build quality?
Just asking cuz the newer USB cord that came with my iPhone 3GS is getting frayed and so I'm using the older one instead.
Thanks to whoever helps.

No difference except, as you noted, you have to squeeze the older one to remove it. It's important that you do that so you don't damage it or the iPod.

Difference Between Mono And Stereo ?

I want to know whats the difference between mono and stereo when you create a new track ? I'm new here ..

Mono is for recording monophonic sources (one microphone). Stereo is for recording stereophonic sources (two microphones).

I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck!

Hi is there any difference between lens 24-70 mm f/2.8 L USM and 24-70 mm f/2.8 L II USM?

Hi is there any difference between lens 24-70 mm f/2.8 L USM and 24-70 mm f/2.8 L II USM?

The image quality difference is subtle -- but like most lenses, you wont notice an image quality difference if you're viewing images on a small display. You'd have to view them at 100% size.
The original 24-70 is a "reverse zoom". When the lens is extended it's 24mm. When it's fully retracted it's 70mm. A reverse zoom has an advantage when being used with a lens hood since the hood stays in place but the lens pulls back as you zoom in (but that's when the angle of view is narrower). You'll notice the hood on the version II is much shallower -- it's designed to work at the 24mm end but that means the hood is not providing much help at the 70mm end.
The lens uses 82mm filter threads. That may sound inconsequential but the 24-70 and 70-200 are often used as a nice complimentary pair... but that means the filters that fit the 70-200 wont fit the 24-70 -- necessisitating that you (a) buy filters (ND, polarizers, etc.) in both sizes, or (b) buy everything in the 82mm size and use "step up rings" to allow the filters to be used on the 77mm thread lenses.
There was a bit of "zoom creep" on the original. I have not used the II so I can't comment on whether or not it still has "zoom creep". (zoom creep is where the weight of the lens is actually enough that merely pointing it up or down can cause the lens to want to creep in that direction... thereby changing your focal length if you're not holding on to it. It's subtle... it's not like it slides to the limit... but it doesn't stay precisely where you left it. It will move a bit.

Is there a difference between LR4 full version and the upgrade.

I purchased the upgrade for LR4. I now have LR3. I want to download and install now and them put in the serial number to license it when it arrives. Is there a difference between installing the full version and the upgrade version. I don't want to screw up my catalog or anything else for that matter.

There is no difference and you're actually better off downloading and installing rather than installing a shipped version. The download will likely be newer.

Is there a difference between the Apple store (box disc) version of iWork and the App store version?

Is there a difference between the iWork that can be purchased through the Apple Store and the AppStore version? There is a price difference between the two sets, and I was curious is there is a substantial difference.

The boxed versions are installed at the same time and have shared auxiliary files. When you buy them through the Mac App Store they are installed individually and the auxiliary files that they could share are installed individually, so there is duplication and they take up a bit more room.
And as Kappy says, you cannot update them through the MAS, the boxed set must be updated through Software Update.

Is there a difference between AirPrint and printing via usb printer plugged into an airport extreme?

My printer does not show up in the add a printer option on my iMac when plugged into the extreme. I have a HP officejet 5610 All-in-One. I want to be able to print wirelessly using my Airport Extreme. Thank you

Is there a difference between AirPrint and printing via usb printer plugged into an AirPort Exreme?
Big difference.
AirPrint for one will not work via USB, so you will not be able to print from an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad using this type of connection unless you look at additional software....that may or may not allow this option.
Assuming that you get the All-in-One setup using the USB port on the AirPort.......only printing is supported.
You will not be able to use any other advanced features like maintenance, scan, copy, fax, etc when the device is connected to the USB port on an AirPort.
If you plan to use the HP for other things, I would strongly recommend that you connect it to your computer.
My printer does not show up in the add a printer option on my iMac when plugged into the extreme.
This usually indicates that your printer model is not supported. Check with HP Support to see if they have any updated Macintosh drivers for the 5610 that you could download and install that might allow this.

Importing voice - is there a difference between MPEG 1 and 2?

Hello,
I just bought a Digital Voice Recorder from Diasonic and want to upload a voice recording to Garage Band. It works on itunes and plays in the mediachooser in GarageBand, but cannot be placed as a new podcast track. When I look at the info, the only difference between my new voice recording and other podcasting I have downloaded from the Internet is that there is a difference between MPEG 1 and 2 (and my Diasonic uses MPEG 2). Can this be the problem? If so, what should I do?
Very grateful for a response.

Is there a difference between an IPod USB cord and an IPhone USB cord?

Guy would this be of any help:
To start up your computer in Apple Hardware Test:
Press the power button to turn on your computer.
Press and hold the D key before the gray startup screen appears. If Apple Hardware Test does not start up, see the Additional Information section at the end of this article.
Note: Some Macintosh computers that shipped with OS X Lion support the use of Apple Hardware Test over the Internet. These computers will start up to an Internet-based version of AHT if the hard drive does not contain AHT. An Internet-enabled connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi is required to use this feature.
It takes a minute or so for Apple Hardware Test to start up and inspect your hardware configuration. While this is taking place, an icon appears on the screen:
When the process is complete, select your language and click the right arrow. If you aren't using a mouse, you can use the up and down arrows to select a language and then press the Return key.
The Apple Hardware Test console appears. You can choose which sort of test or tests to perform:
To perform all of the basic tests, click the Test button or press the "T" key or the Return key.
To perform a more thorough diagnostic test, select the "Perform extended testing" checkbox under the Test button before you click the Test button.
Your test results will appear in the window in the bottom-right of the console.
To exit AHT, click Restart or Shut Down at the bottom of the window.

Is there a difference between saving on your HD and saving on a DVD disc ?

I understand that when I save a photo or page on my HD I only copy the link and when the photo or page is removed I won't be able to see it.
Also when I click on a page with a photo that was on my HD, it will show no image just text, if I'm not connected to the internet. But once I'm connected it will show it.
So saving a page with photos on your HD actually doesn't mean a thing; your page is not saved ! meaning you can't see it whenever you want, even years from now. If they remove the page, you won't see anything (just text and sometimes not even that).
So, once I save/copy the picture on a DVD disc is it permanent ? will I be able to see it even if they remove the photo from the Web ?
Maybe I'm naive but once it is on a DVD disc I should see what is on the DVD disc, just like I watch today a VHS tape with "The Odd Couple" or "Taxi" although these shows are not on the air, the stations doesn't even exist anymore but it's all irrelevant because I COPYED the show, it is physically on my tape and therefore I can see it anytime I want. Isn't it the same with a disc ?
In other words is there a difference between saving something on your HD and saving it on a DVD disc ?

it depends what you want to achieve and what configuration you have on your DSL modem/router.

Are there any difference between iPhone 4S and iPhone 5? What are they?

What I already know is that iPhone 5 has a larger screen and is slimmer, but are there any difference between the two. I have iPhone 4S now, should I buy iPhone 5?

There are a number of major differences between iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, the major one being the processor speed. iPhone 5 has a much faster processor – two times faster than the processor in iPhone 4S. This difference is only significant if you use your phone to play high graphics games that require a lot of processing power. This processing speed also makes the applications load and run faster – iPhone 5 even boots in a shorter time than iPhone 4S. You can use iPhone 4S comfortably now but when games and graphic apps designed for iPhone 5 are released, you may be forced to upgrade your phone to run the smoothly.
