Macs and 24bit audio - About Playback and also Can I record?

So I have a a few questions about macs and their abilities with 24bit audio.
I have a new MBP Unibody and from the looks of it (by looking at the audio midi setup utility) I can playback 24 bit audio - do I require an optical cable to do so, or can your standard Mini>RCA/Phono output 24 bit sound (presuming I feed it into a 24 bit playback system).
Also, I know that most high quality vinyl rips are recorded at 24bit/96khz. I wasn't sure how to go about recording those on my mac myself until I noticed in that audio midi setup that for inputs I can set it to 96khz and 2ch-24bit. Again my question is: can I do this with the standard line in, or do I need special equipment to do so? Also what software should I record it with? Will Soundtrack Pro do the trick or should I step itup to Logic?
Any help would be amazing.

I did it with iMovie, but Garageband will record audio also.
There is also Audacity, which is supposed to be good. I have not tried it: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

  • Microsoft Visual Basic Compiler - MAC and also IPHONE

    I work for a company that manufactures traffic calming products. Our software development for the sign has been in Microsoft Visual Basic which is then compiled for the windows environment.
    I need to locate a compiler that will hopefully compile it for use on the MAC and also possibly the IPHONE. Many of our customers are looking for a MAC version of the code. It is a simple program that uses bluetooth to communicate to the bluetooth modem in the sign, sending and receiving data and settings.
    Thank any of you that can help me with this project. Rich Garrett [email protected] 678-925-3555 www.radarsign.com

    xnav is right. RealBASIC is a good one to check out. I have a small amount of experience with it, as well as Visual Basic and Liberty BASIC. So, I don't really care for BASIC or any of its variants, but I think that if you to program BASIC on the Mac then RealBASIC is a good way to go. It's similar to Visual Basic, and provides a simple way to build basic (and maybe not-so-basic) apps on the Mac. I'm not sure if it supports iPhone development or not, but it's definitely worth looking into if you need to program BASIC on Mac, and it's the only BASIC-based development environment on the Mac that I know of (there could be more that I don't know of though).

    Is this the error you are getting when you are installing AIR 3.0?  Or is this the error you are getting after you've already installed AIR 3.0 and attempting to run AIR applications?  If it's the latter, which applications are you trying to run?  Can you please send us your logs so that we can investigate further?  Thanks!

  • I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

  • After updates to ios 5.1.1...i can't add or edit my contacts and also can't take a photo at my contact lists. The '+' icon is suddenly disappear from my screen...anybody can assist me on this issue?

    after updates to ios 5.1.1...i can't add or edit my contacts and also can't take a photo at my contact lists. The '+' icon is suddenly disappear from my screen...anybody can assist me on this issue?

    At last, the BEST solution!
    In addition to my last post, here is the solution for fixing this problem without syncing your contacts with icloud.
    It takes about 2 minutes and permanently solves the problem so you can start adding and editing your contacts again on IOS 5.1.1!
    Basically you just need to follow these steps from the Settings page:
    Enable Airplane Mode
    Go to iCloud settings
    Turn on Contacts
    Agree to 'Merge Contact'
    Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are on
    Turn off Contacts
    Confirm that you want to Keep your Contact on the iPhone
    Wait for pop up to confim iCloud contacts are off
    Disable Airplane Mode
    Airplane Mode temporarily blocks all phone signal/data to stop your contacts merging with icloud.
    Thanks to Washyman and Drewie77 for that info above! I got it from this post and it worked fine.

    I'm having the same issue. All my applications transferred over. Lightroom is working, but when I went to edit a picture in Photoshop, I got an error message. It told me to restart, but the program still won't open after restart. It says licensing has stopped working, but what does that mean? I can't tell whether it's unsupported/blocked, or if it's a malfunction. The error code is 150:30 See screen shot.

    Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files.  If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account.  You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

  • How do I figure out if I have usb 3.0?  I am trying to buy compatible external hard drive (western digital my passport for mac) and I can not figure out if it will work with my mac book.

    how do I figure out if I have usb 3.0?  I am trying to buy compatible external hard drive (western digital my passport for mac) and I can not figure out if it will work with my mac book.

    Dont buy a Western Digital, get a Hitachi or Seagate (Toshiba is made by Hitachi). These are the most reliable, and the HD used inside Macs.
    ALL HD can be made compatible with your MAC (including a WD if you already bought same), ......they just need to be formatted for the Mac platform, format them in Disk Utility as Mac OSX extended journaled.
