Mike recording momentry drops in sound in GB

I was up until recently using Griffin iMic USB Audio Interface for mike recording. It was OK but I seemed to get sound drops especially at the start of a vocal recording track so I purchased an Edirol FA-66 24Bit/192kHz FireWire Audio Capture and the quality is excellent but I still seem to get sound drops for the first sentence when recording. So ... I've realised it wasnt the iMic but me! Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Sorry to be unclear.
What I meant that with the iMic and the Edirol the result was the same.
In the first sentence or so the audio sounds like once a loud voice starts at the beginning it gets chopped bac a couple of times before it is recorded as normal.
So I thought it was the iMic, it wasnt so why I said me was I was referring that it must then be my lack of knowledge about Garage Band hence the question.
Thanks

I'm having trouble recording a bass to go along with a recording I dropped into GB. I'm using an interface and I can hear the bass line, I've clicked on the 'record' button, but the sound does not record. What am I missing?

I have the bass connected to my imac with an interface.

Am I missing something ?
Please advise.

Double check all your audio settings.
System Preferences --> Sound --> Input should be set to your audio interface.
GB --> Preferences --> Audio/MIDI --> Input should be set to your audio interface.
With your track selected, open the Track Info pane, and select the Edit tab. Under input make sure that Mono 1 or 2 is selected (which number will depend on which input you plugged your bass cable into).

Recording streaming videos with sound

Can I use quicktime for recording streaming videos with sound? If not which Apple software can do it?
Bye Christof

You can use Quicktime to record streaming video +with it's audio+ by using a very simple trick. Using the same cable you connect your iPod/iPhone to your car's stereo system, connect your Mac's Audio OUT to its MIKE IN jack. I used FILE / OPEN URL to select the video stream source, then selected FILE / NEW SCREEN RECORDING. In the resulting 'Screen Recording' dialog box, I set the AUDIO slider all the way to the right, and under the arrow to the right, selected "Built-in Input Line In" for the microphone. I then used the appropriate controls to play the stream and record it. The resultant file was very acceptable. Good luck.

My recorded signal is not sounding like the signal I am monitoring.

My recorded guitar is not sounding like the signal I am monitoring. It sounds very good when recording, but lacks energy and detail when it is played back. If I am using input/direct monitoring am I also bypassing the Analog to Digital converters? Could this explain the difference in sound quality?
Would it be the same to monitor a signal directly out of the sound card and to monitor "through" Logic?
My sound card is a Presouns Firepod.

No.

Consult the manual of that device, to see if you can learn from where in the signal chain it gets your direct monitoring from --- PRE conversion or POST conversion... My bet is that it is pre conversion.

Periodic dropping of sound using minidisplay port to hdmi

anyone else get a periodic drop in sound transferred to an external display through a minidisplay port to hdmi converter? if so, is there i a fix to this? there does not seem to be a repeatable time for it to drop, just seems like i loose about 5 seconds of audio at periodic times.

Hi, last time when i use the mini displayport to hdmi adapter, i even don't know how to make it.. It cost me 3 hours. HDMI Port combines Audio/Video Port, really good. However, it often goes wrong. So, i had to use a *[USB to HDMI Adapter|http://www.espow.com/wholesale-usb-multi-display-adapter-for-computer-a dd-on-a-second-monitor.html]* to display 1080P. And of course, usb can't keep up with Mini DisplayPort, at least at transmission speed. Sound can only come out of the mini jack audio output. Although it's more advanced, HDMI is the main stream. So, *[usb to dvi hdmi adapter|http://www.espow.com/wholesale-usb-multi-display-adapter-for-computer-a dd-on-a-second-monitor.html]* is still important for us, though it will be replaced..

i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating. Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern

Hi All. My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.

Hi All,
I tried to search through the community, but with the sheer volume of posts, I didn't find anything that seemed like the same issue.
My iPad 4 just started having issues with the volume. On either Bluetooth or the iPad Speaker, anything I'm watching or listening to drops the sound to just barely hearing it and then, about 2 seconds later, it comes back.
I haven't tried wired ear phones, but I am sure they'll be the same way.
It's very random, but consistent enough to happen several times per day.
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
I have restarted it and also did a Hard Reboot and it didn't help.
Thanks Again,
Scott P.

Well there you go, when you advertise it just be sure to say that you can't even see the scratches at half brightness and see how it goes.
Of course you are saying you want $500 for one with many scratches on the screen, has been dropped, but the scratches aren't visible at half brightness, and has no warranty. Or I can buy a refurbished iPad 4 WiFi 32 GB directly from Apple with no scratches and a one year warranty for $499. http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD514LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-retina-display -wi-fi-32gb-white-4th-generation
Why would I buy yours?
I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used model with your specs in perfect condition. But yours is far from perfect. I think your high point is $250 which is why I said 50%.

Track Enabled To Record Distorts my Guitars Sound

When I enable a track to record it alters the sound of my guitar. It almost sounds like the distortion effect is being applied twice which makes it the sound full of static and just crappy.
If I disable the record button the guitar sound goes back to normal.
Any ideas??? I'm totally stumped.
other info:
The GNX4 is connected via USB to the laptop and LE8
The laptop is configured to use the USB interface as the input and output for audio

The LE8 track is a simple audio track with no plugins applied. I'm not using any of the features in LE8 to alter the sound of the guitar.
My GNX4 1/4 outputs are connected to a simple mixer (with no effects enabled or anything else to alter the guitars sound) and my speakers are plugged into the output of the mixer.
When I disable the LE8 track for recording my guitar sound is perfect. I hit the record button and it changes the sound. I don't know what other information I can give????
Its almost like hitting record causes some kind of signal loop that is applying the GNX4 effects twice before LE8 records it. I can't explain how that might be happening but that is what sounds like is happening.

Recorded Audio drops off to intermittent nose

This is a desperate plea for help. I have a meeting with one
of our engineers in two hours. My plan was to bring up the
application and record his audio as he steps through the process.
When I tried it this morning I get about a minute into the
recording before the audio drops off into unintelligible noise,
sometimes coming back to a word or two of clear audio and then
dropping away again.
Has anyone encountered this and, if so, what did you do about
it?
Thanks

Hi Frank
I have nothing to offer with regards to Captivate other than
to suggest that it may behoove you to use Sound Forge to record the
audio portion (since it appears to have no trouble there) and later
import the audio Sound Forge created back into Captivate if your
goal is to create a Captivate project using said sound.

How to record screen video with sound but not playing while its recording

Hi, I'm trying to figure out a smart way to record some video lectures using my computer. I note that the Quicktime player is able to do that, but it confines your screen to a certain size so anything that falls into that screen capture zone will be recorded which is fine as i get a separate monitor soon so i can just chuck it one side to record while I'm doing other work.
But what im still trying to figure out is how the sound can also be simultaneously recorded by the software (be it Quicktime or not) and yet not be playing out loud on the speakers so i can do my work and not get distracted by that.
Any line-in or some clever way to do that?
Windows options also possible using parallels if anyone has a solution

Hey Jeffrey,
The easy solution to this is through the utilization of SoundFlower (Completely free).
Here are two tutorials that will guide you through the process of capturing your System's Sound as well as recording whatever is playing on the screen:
Soundflower Tutorial 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M_IBA-xPCc

I hope these tutorials help you out in solving your issue!

Recording from mic, not sound card

Hi there. Relatively new to Audition so trying to get my head around it!
I'm using Adobe Audition 3.0 and i'm mucking about with it basically to get some experience for my uni project. I'm trying to compile and edit together a collection of audio clips from a number of web streams. I've done it before for a while on a different computer and it worked fine but i'm having trouble doing it right on this occasion.
Basically, it's recording from my microphone rather than what's being played on the computer. I have no idea how to change this. Any help guys?

I bet you've moved to a Vista or Windows 7 machine.
Under pressure from the record companies, the ability to record the Stereo Mix output of you computer has been disabled or removed from many new computers.
You may be lucky and find it's only been disabled on your machine. If so, then do the following:
To enable:
->> go to Control Panel
->> Hardware and Sound
->> Manage Audio devices
->> in the Recording tab window right click in the white area away from any devices and from the menu enable "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show disconnected devices"
->> right click on Stereo Mix to get the properties window and in Device usage "Use this device (enable)"
However, there have been many reports in here (you can do a search) that some computer manufacturers are actually removing this ability entirely, again under pressure from the record companies.
This being the case, you might try some software called Virtual Audio Cable: http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
You have to pay for it but at least there's a trial version so you can see if it works for you before laying out your money.

Recording Audio From A Sound Board

I was originally planning on buying a Samson Zoom H2, H4N, or ProTrack Stereo Recorder to begin recording audio at concerts I attend using the house sound board, but began wondering if the iPod Touch had the same capability, perhaps by adding an app of some kind. It would also be useful to record audio from weddings I videotape. I know there are voice recorders such as the Belkin that you can attach, but I was thinking more of connecting the iPod directly, by using a 1/4" to mini cable adapter. Is this possible? If so, what app would enable me to do this?

The issue I see with iTalk and similar iPod apps is that the iPod has no line-level input, so you'd have to use one of the earbud/microphone combinations or an external microphone like this one which will be limited as to quality. There are some other options here. But if you want pro quality, and particularly want to tap straight off of a mixing console, a device like the Alesis is going to be necessary, though there may be something less expensive that I can't find.
If a microphone works for you, then iTalk might be fine. There's a freeware version of iTalk, iTalk Lite, you can try, to see if it will do the job. It doesn't have the advanced playback controls and has a limit of 2MB per recording, but it should allow you to test it out. Voxie is another possibility.
Regards.

Never used microphone input before, sound recorder window okay, no sound output.

Sound from sound recorder input goes nowhere, a sound window is supposed to open, it does not.
There is some software missing in my pavilion g7 laptop. Media player sound is fine, internet sound
is fine, only sound missing is from the microphone input. The sound recorder window is open and the
recording bar is moving as the input varies, how do I get the sound to the speakers. Never used this
option before, it might be defective from the factory.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Problem solved. You cannot turn on computer with the microphone or other audio cable plugged in.
Otherwise the computer does not respond to the inputs, you have to plug in the microphone or audio
cable after logging in and then a window will open that allows you to select the that input over the default.
