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.

  • I HAVE TIS NOISE IN MY IMAC AND IT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE THE FAN BUT A SWOOSHING FRYING SOUND THAT LASTS FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS BUT NOT EVERY TIME I USE THE IMAC.  LIKE THIS TIME, I'M ON IT FOR 45 MIN. & IT DID NOT HAPPEN. ?? WHAT IS IT ?

    I have had this imac for one year and 2 mos.  recently I hear a swooshing noise like speakers are frying when I power up and again intermittantly which lasts about only a few second and quiets down by itself. I have mt portable DVD drive unplugged, I turn down the volumn on the imac but it makes no difference.
    I don't have applecare so I guess I should take it to the local apple store in Santa Monica ffor them to check it out.  But it could be that it wont do it when you expect it to happen ???
    Is anyone familiar with this sound ?

    Could it be the hard drive making this noise?
    Or could it be the fans?

  • I'm using GarageBand 10.0.1. Do the built-in drum tracks only come in mono format, or is it possible to make them true stereo (i.e. Left and Right channels outputing different signals, to sound like the kit has been panned across the stereo field)?

    I'm using GarageBand 10.0.1. Do the built-in drum tracks only come in mono format, or is it possible to make them true stereo (i.e. Left and Right channels putting out different signals, to sound like the kit has been panned across the stereo field)?

    All the Drum Kits available for GarageBand are mixed in stereo.
    Logic provides the same 18 Drum Kits also as "Producer Kits", which are multi-track outputs,. Each Drum Kit Piece (Kick, Snare, HH, etc) and also room mice and overheads are routed to individual channel strips.
    Here is a screenshot of one Drum Kit in Logic Pro X with individual Channels Strips. Each Channel Strip can be loaded with individual effects (compressor) and adduced with individual sends, etc.
    What that means is that all the Drummers are professionally recorded and sampled with individual mics. The Stereo Drums Kits are just "stereo mix-downs" for easier handling and less CPU demand. I explain all the details about the Drummer ecosystem in my graphically enhanced manual "GarageBand X - How it Works"
    Hope that helps

  • When I turn on firefox the sound of an alarm begins and keeps going. I did not download or add or open anything. A sound like the old pacman game initiates the never ending alarm. It does not occur with safari and ends if I close firefox.

    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == I opened firefox

    dont have google open in a tab!!!!!!!!
    (if you are one who opens FF and it opens google then immediately open another tab to go to a site then just visit the site from the page that opened without opening a new tab)
    OR
    if you have cool preview then disable that
    (the sound is for the celebration of 30 years of pacman and you can play the game on google's homepage)

    Yes Rosetta has been gone for over two years. You can always search here for how Michael Lax's instructions on how to run SL Server in a virtul environment, but I don't think it is too kind to gamers.

  • My macbook pro won't stop making noise! It sounds like the fan but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

    my macbook pro won't stop making noise! It sounds like the fan but I'm not sure. Any ideas? It's really worrying me because I haven't had it for up tp 2months and last week everytime I switch it on it makes sooo much noise. And I treat like an egg so I don't understand whats going on.

    Hey,
    My friend had a very similar issue to yours. The issue came down to the pins of the MagSafe not meeting with the MacBook perfectly causing the lights and the transfer of power to be wacko. I'm not sure if this is issue that your experiencing, but its worth checking out the pins and the MagSafe area on your MacBook for debris.
    Troubleshooting Magsafe power adapters with stuck pins
    If that is all clear, then I would suggest you call AppleCare or take it in to an Apple Store to have it checked out.

  • Making Garageband songs not sound like Garageband songs

    Is there a trick to making GBand songs sound like 'normal' songs? When I play songs I've created in GBand on my car stereo, it sounds awful compared to 'real' music. I've played around with the Master Tracks, but nothing seems to work well. I want my music to envelope/surround me, not sound like I'm tinkering around with a cheap keyboard. Thanks.

    Well....
    This isn't what you want to hear, but GB is only as good as the person using it. I have some friends that are trained audio engineers and they can make GB sound as good as anything. I do a pretty good job too. LOL!
    What I would like to emphasize if you are looking for pro sounding recordings:
    -get decent monitors,
    -learn to use your microphones AND the space/room you are recording in,
    -read up on the art of mixing,
    -learn what a compressor does and familiarize yourself with them,
    -practice mixing other's songs (Nine Inch Nails has 2 of their songs as free GB downloads for mixing)
    -read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice, read and practice,
    and that about covers it. Garageband is just a tool. You have to make it work.
    Good luck and welcome to the forum! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Lots of smart people here.

  • Music Sounds Like the Chip Munks singing

    I have an a6537c Pavilion and the music sounds like junk.  Sounds like the Chip Munks.  What can I do?

    Well... sounds like you have an audio enhancement enabled. There are a few places where they can be set. Check the following places to turn them off:
    Windows Media Player 11
    1. Play music
    2. Right-click menu bar.
    3. From the menu that opens, select View, Enhancements, and Play Speed.
    4. Adjust the Play Slider to 1.0
    Windows Sound (Realtek codec)
    1. Right click the volume icon next to the time in the taskbar.
    2. Select Sounds.
    3. Select the Playback tab.
    4. Select your default playback device denoted by a green circle with a check (probably Speakers).
    5. With the playback device selected, click the Properties button.
    6. Click the Enhancements tab.
    7. Select Disable all sound effects.
    8. Click OK.
    Hope this helps.

  • Desktop has a noise that sounds like the fan

    I turned on my IMAC desktop and there is a noise that sounds like the fan. The computer is very quiet till now. What should I do?

    Yes, I know, but it works as always, there is nothing to make it better; cf Perian.
    iStat Pro does not quite work "as always" with newer systems.
    For one thing, it may report inaccurate temperatures (& possibly fan speeds), depending on the Mac model it is running on. (For instance, on my system, it tells me the ambient temperature is around 54° F in a room that is actually about 77°.)
    The problem is basically that iStat Pro gets temperature & fan speed info by querying the SMC subsystem. Apple has apparently changed the query/response protocols or the SMC hardware itself, so this no longer works as the utility expects.
    And Banjo is not as "safe" and digs too deep with core kexts.
    Banjo is the new name for the same company that developed iStat Pro & the original & newer iStat Menus programs. My guess is that the latest version of iStat Menus is just as safe to use as the earlier ones.
    However, I won't use it for the same reason I won't use MenuMeters: both rely on MenuCracker, a hack to work around Apple's restriction of menu extras to ones Apple develops & distributes as part of the OS itself. Developers are specifically told to use 'Status Items' for their menu bar add-ons, which offer some but not all of the same functionality as menu extras, & do not risk destabilizing the OS or compromising its security.

  • My interface -- buttons (back, forward, reload), firefox tab, groups, etc. -- does not look like the sample on your "firefox features" page. ("Groups" seems not to function at all.) I'm running the current firefox 4 download on Windows XP. Can you help?

    cor-el
    Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
    Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
    I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
    I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.

  • Volume up button sounds like the camera is going off

    When I press my volume up button it sounds like the camera is going off but no pictures are being taken.  Any idea why this happens?
    Thanks!

    Hello there, JDHMB.
    You might want to close out all apps first and foremost:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Then it might be worth attempting a restart of the iPhone, and then a reset, should that not resolve the issue.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the sound is still being generated by the phone while using volume controls, you may want to try restoring the iPhone.

  • HD videos from Sony NEX-3 sound like the Chipmunks

    My Sony NEX-3 720p MP4 videos sound like the Chipmunks. Video frame rate appears ok but the sound is way too fast. The files play nicely e.g. in Preview though.
    iMovie imports the files nicely, using the internal SD reader in my iMac. However, the sound is out of sync in the imported files. From the sound of it, it seems the audio runs at least at 2x the speed.
    Currently I use Handbrake for converting the camera clips into 25 fps m4v and then importing these into iMovie but it is a pain.

    Can you tell me how you imported the video from your NEX-3 to iMovie?  When I try, the camera automatically opens iPhoto and imports it there.  If I open iMovie, all of the selctions are grayed-out so I can't import them.  I've tried getting the video straight from the camera but can't seem to do that either. Can you help?

    "Vaguely like" is the best we can hope for and a minor miracle in itself. PDF was never meant to be converted.
