Need More Audio "Umph!"

I run two polk audio RTi4 speakers (I will also be buying two more speakers this summer) connected to a Sony STRDE-197 amplifier/receiver and I have this connected to my Mac Powerbook G4 through the head phone jack. I get some "OK" volume.. but I have always been a little disappointed with the output, and had to crank the computer volume to about 80% (any high it sounds like sh*t) and the receiver volume to 60(out of a possible 72 i believe) I believe I should not have to run these devices at such a high volume to get the sound desired.
I am hoping I can get more "Umph!" out of my powerbook before going into my receiver. I am a college student in a "party frat" so loud, clear music is a necessity. I also dj parties. I want to try to run an external sound card either out of my usb or firewire but I have no idea which external sound card to buy.
I need the external sound card purely to amplify my music before reaching my receiver and to clarify the signal. If I could please have some recommendations on external sound cards (around $100) I would truly appreciate it.
thanks,
will

Try this out. It is amazing. Though it only works with iTunes. But since you said music is your line of work, try it out.

  • How large of a hard drive can I install on dual G5, and do I need more RAM?

    I recently had a situation in which my dual-processor 2.0 G5 was completely refurbished by Apple repair-new logic board, both processors, video card, thermistor, all new. Finally it has been working well after a month of trips back and forth from the Apple store. I have two internal hard drives installed on my G5, both 300GB, one for OS applications, and one for audio. I am running out of space on my main hard drive, and so I recently purchased a Maxtor 1TB hard drive, now manufactured by Seagate, from Fry's. After having my G5 refurbished, I was having an issue with my Samsung 930B monitor going into sleep mode when I boot-up from a CD, but other than that G5 was working fine. I removed the main 300GB hard drive from slot #1 and put it into slot #2, from which I had removed my audio hard drive. I installed the Maxtor drive in slot #1 and reformatted it for Mac using my laptop with ATA/USB cables previously purchased for data transfer. This took about 14 hours as I used the "zeros" option. After that I hooked up the internal cables to both drives and tried to boot up from Leopard in order to install it on the Maxtor drive, but again my monitor went into to sleep mode. We went to the Apple store to try to see if there was an issue with the computer, but everything worked fine with their monitors and CD's, as well as my CD. So there is some kind of issue with my monitor, probably software as it works fine when booting up from the main hard drive, and also was fine when I did its self-test function. While at the Apple store, they installed Leopard from their hard drive which took about 30 minutes.
    My problem is this: When I arrived home, I turned on my G5, which had been set to boot from my new Maxtor drive and complete the Leopard setup process, which we had decided to do at home as it would have taken another 20 minutes in the Apple store. The G5 turned on, chimed, I got the Apple screen with the wheel, but then after that my monitor goes into sleep mode. I can hear Leopard's setup intro playing through the speakers, but the screen is in sleep mode. So I reboot holding down the option key so I can boot up from my old (300GB) main hard drive, now in slot #2. This works and the monitor screen does not go to sleep. However, as I am browsing on the web to check for issues concerning this monitor, the G5 freezes, and I get a screen with black bars with writing in them and various technical language across the screen. This happened several times after rebooting. Finally I shut the computer down. I am going to try removing the new hard drive and putting both old ones back in and see if the G5 stops crashing. I think the monitor issue is a separate issue, and I am more concerned with the crashing, as previous to the new hard drive installation the G5 was working fine, monitor fine, other than the issue when booting up from a CD. Do I need more memory? Is the 1TB hard drive too large for my dual-processor 2.0 G5 and overloading it? Would I be better off with a 500GB drive? Would appreciate advice from persons with experience in this area. Thank you.

    I have replaced my 5 year old G5 with a Mac Pro, as the G5 just had too many issues, even after replacing all major components (logic board, both processors, video card, etc.) Once I took out the 1 TB hard drive from my old G5, it stopped having the kernel panic issue. Nonetheless I had been through a lengthy repair process previous to this issue, so I didn't care to trust an older machine any longer, especially since being told by an Apple tech that the "new" parts were really just older parts stockpiled from a central location. Could be new, could be refurbished. Apple was kind enough to credit the money we had spent on the G5 repairs towards the purchase of my Mac Pro.

  • Do I 'need' an audio interface on modern Macs?

    Hi there
    Don't think I've posted on here in nearly 10 years but I'd be really glad of some help.
    I currently record on a 2003 eMac running 10.3.9 using Garageband 06. I record directly into the audio in via a tube preamp.
    I am considering finally upgrading and am weighing up the relative merits of a Mac Mini or an iMac. I am clueless about the technological advances made since I last bought a computer and would appreciate some help. Clearly both those computers will be a quantum leap forward from my eMac. 
    So, specifically, would I need an audio interface with either of the above computers or is the internal soundcard and audio in sufficient? As stated, I don't currently use a USB or Firewire interface and use the eMacs internal soundcard.
    I only record audio and don't use virtual instruments but we have an electronic drum kit knocking about so we may consider using it as a midi trigger at some point. We are an indiepop band so your usual guitar, bass, drums and vocals. I do not expect 'pro' quality as we are a DIY band, hence I've managed for so long with GB. However we've done singles on small indie labels and are releasing an album next year which I'm halfway through recording. I'd just like a bit more power to add some decent reverbs, compression etc to the recordings, but also need to consider how I get audio into the machine in future. I would like to get Logic so that takes some of my budget too. Our songs currently have a maximum of about 10 tracks of audio, I don't envisage going much further than that.
    Hopefully that gives you my basic requirements, so any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot
    Leon

    The built-in audio-in should yield the same results i would imagine, i've used it before and it' s been fine.  I guess the iMac's etc have a seperate audio-in still?  I know they were stripped from the macbook's (bah!).
    But obviously, you really should get an interface if you want to get serious, as not only will it give you better sound quality, but more control on the sound going in (Gain etc.).

    Pro Tools 10.3.7
    Interface Apollo 16
    Pro Tools is curretnly not compatible with Maverick.   Also, I believe that Pro Tools 10 only allows 4GB ram to be utilized (not sure ) 
    I know Pro Tools 11 allows more, but not sure how much more.  Also not sure if the upgrade to Pro Tools 11 I will have to purchase all new plug ins or if my existing ones will continue to work in it.
    The platform changes from 32 bit to 64 with the upgrade to 11
    If it is as simple as adding more ram, what mode-part #l would you recomeend.  Can the processor be upgraded also ?
    The new tube like Macs are non compatible with UAD Cards.  Those cards a must my sessions

    You can use Activity Monitor to check if apps run as 32 or 64 bit - simply look at the "Kind" column (you may need to select it under View -> Columns) and see if the app in question is listed as "Intel" i.e. 32 bit or as "Intel (64 bit)".
    While in Activity Monitor you can also check if Pro Tools is close to the 3-4 GB limit of a 32 bit app - if you aren't you will probably not benefit from more RAM.
    Your MacPro (it appears to be a Early 2009 model) should have come with a small booklet showing how to install RAM and what kind of RAM that you need. Any RAM that fulfills the requirements should work but your safest choice is probably to buy from a retailer/online store that supports Macs as they will usually know what kind of RAM you need for your mac model.
    Upgrading the CPUs should be possible, but I haven't seen Apple document how to do this, so you will probably have to google around a bit to find instructions and CPU part numbers.
    Your choice of CPUs will also be limited by the motherboard and CPU socket so you may be limited to faster version of your current CPU chip and some slightly newer versions.
    Going from your current CPU to the fastest version included in the 2009 MacPros would be going from 2.26 GHz to 2.93 GHz. This would only give a modest 30% speed boost. Using newer and highly clocked CPUs might boost this somewhat more maybe to 50% ?

  • Do i need an audio interface? HELP!!!

    Do i need an audio interface for logic to connect m audio speakers, a novation launchpad, and an akai mpk 25 keyboard?, Do i need an audio interface for logic to connect m audio speakers, a novation launchpad, and an akai mpk 25 keyboard?

    Wow. You have in your hands some of the most advanced and powerful music production software on the planet. Surely you would want an audio interface to make it sing rather than limp along. How are you going to control momitor level, headphone level, etc. If you are going to connect a mic, it is essential (unles you are going to opt for a USB mic. There are very few pros who would choose that option). Any audio interface will sound better than the sound card inside the mac, but if you go for something like Native Instruments Komlete 6, it's affordable, user friendly and sounds amazing. There are other good ones, like Focusrite and MOTU, but M audio and the lower range of Presonus are not in the same league and the more advanced users would avoid them.
    Hope this helps.

  • Does my MacBook White 7,1 need more RAM?

    Hi, I'm Federico from Argentina.
    It's my first post here. First of all, sorry for my english, hope it's not so bad.
    I am photographer and digital retoucher, so, as you might imagine... I use a lot Photoshop (CC).
    I'm thinking that I need to upgrade my Macbook to 8gb (now I have 4gb) because my OSX is running slow, and it's affecting my workflow (upgrading to MB Pro is not a chance... no budget for that...).
    In the Activity Monitor when retouching in Photoshop memory pressure shows in yellow (Mavericks).
    Beyond that, here's my EtreCheck report, I think you may find it useful for troubleshooting my problem.
    Thank you so much!

    Yes, you need more RAM, but more imprtantly:
    Macintosh HD (disk0s2) / [Startup]: 249,2 GB (3,45 GB free) (Low!)
    Your Mac is running on vapour! You are risking data loss and a fouled-up system. You urgently need to move files (not applications) to an external hard drive, to leave at least 30GB free.

  • So I just learned about needing more drives....

    I thought I was well off. Turns out after time on this forum, I am a newbie again..... ah, what a feeling.
    I have one hard drive. It's a 1TB and called HITACHI HDT721010SLA360 ... whatever the heck that means.  Anyway... what kind of hard drives can or should I buy? Should I get the same ones? I hear you should have the same ones all across.  If so, what sizes? I am editing a movie I made for fun and it is about 30 min long and editing is slow. It is fast to edit when i have only like 5 min of timeline footage. But now the project is up to like 20 min and everything runs slow....
    So any suggestions guys? What is compatible with my PC and should be upgraded? I know I need more hard drives. I have also just purchased a second monitor so I can have one to view my video and one to edit the timeline. I hope this was a wise choice... it only seems logical and I have used it just now and it seems easier to edit without having to resize workspaces constantly.
    And if I need a new computer all together, let me know... I would rather not, however. If I must, I would consider some company who specializes in video editing builds, which I've read on this forum there is one called ADK who makes these systems.
    YOU ALL ROCK! This is a great community and hobby to be apart of... although for some it's their job(and I wish to mine in the future as well)

    So I got my 24 gig of ram and 2 extra drives. Everything is installed and registered in Windows 7 64bit.
    An important note to add to anyone considering an upgrade, seeing that I had some troubles with all of it:
    First, Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate(64 bit editions, of course) is the only ones capable of running any more than 16gb of ram. I had to pay an extra $90 to upgrade my Win 7. That is stupid, Microsoft!
    Second, everything was recognizd except for one hard drive. I had many theories such as, my mobo only supports 3 sata devices at once, my psu can't output enough power, or bios has some settings I need to enable. Turns out, after HOURS of taking this cable from this place and trying it in this place and all this garb, I found that one of the manufacturers SATA cables were bad! hardly noticable, but when i peeled back some of the covering on the wires, I see the wires are not fitly joint.
    Third, a big computer case would be HIGHLY reccomended. In my case(no pun intended), the drives barely made the fit! Had heck of a time doing that. Especially with all the wires crammed everywhere.
    So anyhow, I'm here transferring my media(video/audio files of my projects and other recordings I often re-use) to my second drive as Harm reccomended in his general hard disk guide. The only thing I am confused about, harm, is that you say to do Exports to a third drive. Are you referring to when I literally export my project? This would only make exporting faster and not the actual workflow, correct?
    Let me know if you can. And as you know, I will probably have a few more other questions after this about the setup while going through Premiere. For now I'm just transferring media(125 gigs).
    Thanks!

  • Page ins 1.46GB outs ins 87.3MB...do i need more memory?

    My macbook has been getting slower and slower, i suspect i need more memory?

    they are probably going to strain your hard drive long before you run out of ram. they only load there first part of the audio file and then stream the rest from the disk. you would no better than anyone just how many sounds you are using. do the sums. with the setup you are describing i am doubtful if you are taxing the computer/memory/harddrive all that much. if it was double that then i'd start to get concerned. i think your problem is not memory related - or at least not in the way you think. perhaps faulty RAM? could be.
    if it was working fine and then crashed, maybe you just ran across one of the little ol' bugs that still lurk within logic. if that's the case chalk it up to experience and move on - keeping a close eye on it of course.

  • I just purchased the new iMac. Need more firewire connections

    24-inch, 2.8Ghz 2GB Ram. It's a great computer. Only thing is I need more firewire ports for hard drive, scanner and M-audio interface. We can't plug them in all at once. Any solutions out there? I wasn't impressed with the Apple Store's Belkin Firewire Hub. I could use an extra port for my ipod too.
    What is the best solution?
    Message was edited by: Maureen W.

    Do any of your devices have multiple firewire ports so that you can daisy chain them? My external hard drive has two ports and happily works in this fashion allowing additional devices on the chain. I have not noticed any difference in speed.

  • My ipad currently only has 18% charge, i want to download ios6 but it wont let me click on the button, could this be because it needs more charge

    my ipad 3 currently has only 18% charge, ive just gone to click on the download button to download new ios 6 but its not highlighted so therfore i cant do it, is this because ipad needs more charge?

    Yes, the update takes quite a bit of time (> 1 hr for my iPad2) and will not initiate unless you have enough juice in your battery or are plugged in.

    I am getting a warning on opening my mac saying I need more space as my setup disk is full.  I have emptied many files as well as my Trash.  I am planning to get an external drive for my photos, but it has been suggested that I check Console and under the system log the following message (of which they say 4000 messages have been logged in 2 days) '06/06/2014 16:08:23.341 com.apple.dynamic_pager: dynamic_pager: Need more space on the disk to enable swapping'.  This is a copy of one of the items.  It is from the system log.  I really do not think I have enough files to warrant this warning, with the exception of photos.  My storage shows 143 MB free out of 120.47. Thanks for any help.

    First off, no MacBook Air can run 10.3 or earlier.
    Secondly, are you sure you only have 143MB of storage free?  That's seriously low.  With MacBook Airs of 120 GB hard drives, or even 140 GB which is often the case when it says out of 120, you shouldn't allow your free space to go down below 20 GB.  MB is 1024 fold less than a GB.  So if you really have 143MB free on a MacBook Air, you are long past the minimum space you should be keeping it at, and need to start clearing a lot of space now*:

    I'm asking this thread be moved to the MacBook Air forum,a as we can't say for certain what you have when you post in the 10.3 or earlier forum.

  • PS CC Says I need more than 512 Vram ...

    I was using Photoshop last night just to prep a couple of photos for class submission (3 pictures, just reducing their size for web consumption), and I got the message stating that I needed more than 512 Megs of Vram, which was odd to me, as I have 1024 Dedicated available on my video card. I don't run a dual monitor setup any longer, but I do have an ASUS PBs278 that's running at 2560 X 1440. My current graphics card is an ATI Radeon 6800 HD, and my windows 7 system is running on 8 gigs of ram. Up till within the last week, CC has worked just fine, but the other day on boot, it took an unusually long time to get into the software. It eventually did, and I'm wondering if that was an update or some such that's now made the software decree that if it doesn't have the 512 it thinks it should have, the 3d functions won't happen. I don't know if it's a consequence of the larger quantity of pixels being pushed, or if it's the video card getting too old to support CC at such a high resolution now, but some help would be amazing.

    Windows 7, 64 bit. I haven't been able to replicate the error, but I have the new drivers as well. I hope this just ends up being a fluke.

  • How, using Adobe Connect can increase the number of participants in the meeting? I need more than 25 people.

    Hi, I use licensed Adobe Connect. Earlier in the meeting could involve up to 100 people. Now only 25. How, using Adobe Connect can increase the number of participants in the meeting? I need more than 25 people.
    Thanks for your help.

    The purchasing option through adobe.com only allows up to 25 attendees. If you need more than that, you will need to purchase through a reseller. You can find one that is able to sell in your part of the world, here: Adobe Connect Partners. Just reach out to one of the Global Partners.

  • I need more than the maximum allowed 30 profiles - how do I change this?

    I need more than the maximum allowed 30 profiles - how do I change this? Once I reach 30 profiles and I try to add one - it just deletes one automatically thus only allowing a maximum of 30. Please help.

    You are talking about 30 Firefox Profiles on the same Windows Logon User Account?
    I never saw that as a limit myself. I had 53 Profiles at one time, although I haven't done that since Firefox 3.0. It was causing an extended launch time and I started using "remote" Profiles that weren't controlled by the Profile Manager and weren't in the '''profiles.ini''' file; launched by command line. Like this in the Target line for the desktop shortcut: <br />
    ''' "C:\Program Files\Firefox_4.0_zip\firefox.exe" -Profile D:\Mozilla\Active-Profiles\4.0_10-15-10-N '''

  • NEED more than 15 menu item in Context Menu ????

    Hi,
    I really need to have more than 15 menu item displayed on Context Menu. I desperately need some workaround or ideas to achieve this
    My client has invested thousands of dollar in Flex Project, he definitely need more than 15 menu item.If this project failed , client will NEVER think to invest in flex.
    Had I been  aware of this limitation before I would have thought some solution by now.This comes as a surprise to me at the last moment ,just fews days before Prod Date.
    I cant also user java Scrip heck  as my Flex application is running inside Dot net Container , I do not access to the luxury of java script
    Pls gents help me get rid of this ...PLEASE provide some ideas.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Dharmendra

    Thanks Natasha,
    I got your point  but as for as I  know grouping like Quality is not possibel in Flax Context menu. I also cant go for window style menu(file,edit) because I need them to be displyed on DataGrid right clk . I am designing a trade datagrid where in trader can see all trades and he can approve/reject etc by just right clk and  selcting proper menu item form Context Menu.
    In case of window style (acrobat.com) menu trader will have to reach to  menu instead of  getting all options on mouse right clk
    I will have to think other alternative wich provides same ease as cotext menu.(God knows what is that )
    Once again thanks for suggestion.
    Regards,
    Dharmendra
