Looking for External Sound Device for iBook G4

Does anyone know of an external audio device similar to Creative Technology's Sound Blaster Extigy that will work with my iBook G4? I would like to record CDs played through an external CD player that has audio compression. Unfortunately the iBook lacks audio inputs. Thanks.

Perhaps this is what you're looking for:

I had an Extigy with my previous notebook (presario 1500) and absolutely loved the sound I got through my creative 5.1 speakers, at least when my computer was working properly
I see the sonic theatre as the mac equivalent, although it doesn't appear to have a remote, oh well. I have no idea how much of the software will work on a mac, but it can't be too hard to find some good audio software.

    Looking for iBooks Author vendor to create multiple books based on an existing template. The books are operative techniques for the orthopaedic surgery industry. Need an idea of cost to outsourse. Here are the specs:
    7 chapters
    the first page of each chapter is an overview of the chapter that includes hyperlinks to each step in the operative technique
    total of 44 pages
    each page has at least one video widget (some pages have two), a photo gallery widget plus a static image and text
    glossary index with 100 entries that include text and photos (would love to find someone who can program including collada 3-D images into the glossary. but that is a nice to have, not a need to have)
    all images require resizing for the ibook (they are print images)
    all videos require compression for the ibook
    half of the pages have 3-d collada files
    heavy typesetting is required
    three pages include large interactive images with 20 labels
    Looking for estimates to present to the company on the cost to outsourse as well as find possible vendors to talk to and provide more detail.
    thanks.

    i apologize. here is my contact email if anyone is interested in talk more about this.

  • I live in Hong Kong, but I am from Seattle WA. When i look for ibooks or itunes my selections are extremely limited. Is this because I'm in a different country?

    I live in Hong Kong, but I am from Seattle WA. When i look for ibooks or itunes my selections are extremely limited. Is this because I'm in a different country?

    For instance; it seems on the net I see that many Tom Clancy books are availbe on ibooks, but i can not just look them up on my phone. along with many other authors. in the Category section, when trying to browse, many of the categories do not contain any authors or titles at all. this goes for many "i" apps.

  • Issues with External Sound Devices & others - 13" Late 2011

    Good day community,
    Out of curiosity, I run Diablo 3 on OS X and its been unplayable since ROS expansion, massive fps drops and crashes, Blizzard claims Apple stopped improving hd3000 drivers on 10.8.3, is this true? Also when I run the game through windows via bootcamp it performs better and doesn't not crash, is this related to hd3000 driver support still being improved in windows?
    Other issues I'm experiencing, facetime most of the time fails if I try to pickup a call from the macbook, sometimes it notifies me of the incoming call (iphone 5s) sometimes it doesn't. Bluetooth doesn't work, not even with apple devices, I can't pair any of them. External sound devices such as m-audio fast track pro, native instruments audio 8 dj, allen & heath xone 4d, they all have latency issues and sound clips and pops, even with the onboard sound I experience this if I open a couple graphic editing software while playing itunes. Checked sample rate in audio/midi setup, drivers, firmware, everything seems up to date, I'm not using a USB hub, I updated to Yosemite from Mavericks, which was a terrible upgrade from Mountain Lion and it completely lagged the computer, so when I upgraded to Yosemite I ran disk utility from boot and apparently repaired the hard drive successfully. Performance is better but none of the above issues were solved.
    So I'm thinking about formatting from scratch but wanted to drop a line here and see if others have any of these issues and/or some tips.
    Thank you for your time.

    I know that can be frustrating when using an external display, but take a look at the article below to continue troubleshooting. I would take a look at Reset the system and work you way down.

    I have an old PowerPC dual G5 running 10.4.11 and I'm working on some HD projects at the moment, so it certainly can be done on your machine. Upgrading/extending your RAM might be a good idea though; is that possible on your machine?
    If you go HD with the HF-S100, you'll need to be thinking about hard drive space; you'll need a lot of it; it's gonna add up quick. To use content from that camera (which is AVCHD format), you'll be converting it to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) to use in FCE (iMovie will be doing the same thing internally, if you use that), and the file sizes are large. I've got a 12 second clip here on my desktop from an HF100 converted to AIC that's 169MB. So do the math... If you're doing a lot of filming you'll need to have a plan for backing up and archiving...offline storage perhaps.
    But otherwise I think you've got a machine that will be OK, although I wonder if you have enough RAM....

  • External sound device stuttering

    I have an imac (2011) i believe. I own an an external usb sound device, specifically a lexicon alpha. It has been working fine but recently it started to stutter when i try to playback. My internal sound is fine and I tried the lexicon alpha on a pc and it worked fine. Do I have a corrupt file or something?

    usb sound devices are usb audio cards and audio cards require drivers
    and if the device have a poorly written osx driver then that would happen
    I would look into what audio chip lexicon use and check if I could use a driver
    from another usb sound card using the same audio chip

  • Problem connecting external sound device to the line

    When I connect my Roland Sound Canvas (external MIDI module connected to the Game/MIDI port) to the line in on the sound card (Audigy2 ZS) but I don't get any sound from the speakers when playing a MIDI file or when recording. When I use sound recorder I can only hear what was recorded during playback. What do I have to do to hear the MIDI audio playing while I'm recording it's
    I didn't have a problem doing this with a SoundBlaster Li've Value card.

    Any standard mini-stereo jack, like on the end of headphones, should go in all the way. That port is meant for use with headphones, and powered speakers that have the same connector. It is not designed for a special short connector. If your mini-stereo to RCA adapter's plug is the same length as the plug on iPod earbuds, it needs to be inserted all the way.
    As a test of the iMac's port, try using a standard set of headphones (or iPod-style earbuds) to see if you get proper sound.

  • External Sound Device MIDI Controller Garadge Band

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro, with the included Garage Band. I successfully attached an M-Audio Axiom 49 to it, and it has worked very well. Now the problem; I am trying to attach a Roland JV-2080 synth module to my Axiom 49 using a standard MIDI cable, then run the Axiom into Garage Band through the USB MIDI interface. I can't get any sound out of the combination, and I was hoping someone could help me out.

    AppleCart12,
    Thanks for the reply!
    I too can't get the control surface buttons to work. I'm not giving up though. Here's what I found thus far.
    1. There is free software from M-Audio, called Enigma (http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Enigma-main.html) that allows you to edit the presets on the Axiom series. The only problem is that the Axiom can't send the specific sysex messages requires by GarageBand.
    2. There's a free tool called GarageRemote (http://www.muratnkonar.com/otherstuff/garageremote/) that can work as an interpreter to translate other MIDI messages into the the specific messages that GarageBand needs. Unfortunately, it uses hex expressions and I haven't quite figured it out.
    Bottom line? Out-of-the-box the buttons don't work and you can't remap them natively to what GarageBand needs. My best bet is that I can figure out the hex codes necessary for a work around.

  • Using External Sound Modules (Synths) in Logic Express?

    Hi all,
    I don't have Logic Express yet. I want to know if what I want to do is possible before I purchase. It may sound trivial, but I'm very new to the whole DAW environment. Apparently Garageband can't support my external sound modules so I'm hoping Logic Express will.
    To help, please see my hardware midi setup diagram here:
    http://www.greddin.com/images/My-Midi-Setup.jpg
    Will I be able to add tracks that will play the external sound devices like the Wavestation and JD-990? Can you change the sounds through Logic? To what extent can I use my external sound modules?
    Thanks all,
    -Greg

    Hi,
    1st: Yes, Logic Express has "external MIDI" tracks that function similar to the "software instrument" tracks but trigger external instruments.
    2nd: But: To setup these tracks, especially with more than one device, needs some experience with MIDI, the channels, patch selection via MIDI etc. The real downside is you have to find out which commands you need to "tell" your devices to change sounds and these things. Since there is no standard command for this, you'll have to look it up in your devices manual and use the MSB/LSB Values- which you have to enter manually. However, once you found it out, you can save these things as templates and use them in the future. So yes, it is very possible, but expect some learning curve.
    3rd: You can use your sound modules to their full extent. Logic features a mighty MIDI environment setup once you learned how to use it.

  • Looking for an external hard drive for my ibook...

    I know there are a lot of posts related to external hard drives, but I have very specific needs that haven't been answered as far as I can tell. I run Tiger 10.4.11 on my 1.33 ghz ibook (which WON'T DIE) and need a hard drive that:
    1) is Mac-friendly
    2) Can be set to do auto backup when I plug in my computer
    3) has at least 500GB storage
    4) has at least a 3-year warranty
    5) can run, power-wise, off my USB hub (though this is the least of my concerns, frankly)
    6) can be used with a Macbook when I buy one next year (very important)
    I'm not so concerned with speed, as I will mostly be doing backup at night, while I'm asleep. Does such a drive exist for around $100?

    1) is Mac-friendly
    98% of the drives meet this criteria
    2) Can be set to do auto backup when I plug in my computer
    I don't know any drives that will do that. Some have buttons that allow you to do backup by pushing the button.
    3) has at least 500GB storage
    4) has at least a 3-year warranty
    A lot of those available.
    5) can run, power-wise, off my USB hub (though this is the least of my concerns, frankly)
    Look for a "portable" external drive.
    6) can be used with a Macbook when I buy one next year (very important)
    Any drive that matches the criteria above.
    Does such a drive exist for around $100?
    Yes many. You can watch Dealmac.com for hard drive deals. It is pretty easy to get 1 TB for $100 these days.

  • I'm looking for a bluetooth remote for iPad's iBooks app

    Does anybody know of such a thing? I have found remotes for the iPad, but they seem obscure as to what it can accomplish. I need something more than something that plays iTunes remotely. I have a specific need.
    Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
