No input level in shoutcast

Settings?
Hello. I'm trying to play in radio. In theory everything is alright but........
When music is playing there should be some input level in shoutcast but there is 0!! Is there anyone who knows why?
I have SB X-fi Audio

Does no one read entire posts??? I am not having an M-Audio problem and the link supplied was basically for that. I realize that M-Audio does not offer the compatibility drivers for Leapard - that's why I stated I have even used the built in input as well with no luck. I can open up garageband and record just fine, if I open up Logic Express 8 I can't get any signal into the program to be able to record at all - this is using the built in input mind you. The funny thing with M-Audio is that I have been running the firewire solo for about a year now and recording into garageband, I thought Logic would be more powerful.

Real instruments - recording/input levels

...when i am recording real instruments, the input level and recording level are inaccessible.
i click on them with the mouse, but nothing happens.
are they preset? non-adjustable?
i can adjust the playback volume, of course, as well as other parameters like pan, monitor on/off, mute, solo, and add compression, echo, reverb and so on.
thanks in advance!

BIAS SoundSaver Input Level Not Working after upgrade from Win 8 to 8.1

Have been using BIAS SoundSaver for INport software to digitize music LPs and cassette tapes to load on MP3 player. Worked fine with Windows 8. However, now that I have upgraded to Win 8.1, I can get sound of LPs and cassette tapes but the Input Level that controls the recording level on the software no longer functions. My computer is an HP ENVY Phoenix h9-1355 Desktop Computer with IDT High Definition Audio CODEC. I am wondering if the problem may be with the audio drivers installed on the computer.
This question was solved.

Hi @Alkay
I see that you are having sound issues after your 8.1 upgrade. Did you update to the 8.1 versions of the drivers?

Setting Input Level with Griffin iMic

I'm trying to digitize an audio cassette with Soundtrack Pro. My setup includes a Griffin iMic that goes to a USB port. The trouble I'm having is in controlling the input volume. The level meters indicate clipping, but I'm not clear how to set the input level.
If it's in the Recording tab (>Input) with the Gain slider, mine is greyed out.

M Wohlgy,
(I know this is months after your post.)
Control of the iMic volume is in the Preferences pane called "Sound". You can set the output and the input levels there.
Remember the iMic's position switch works only for the imput, either close to the microphone icon for "microphone" or away from it for "line in".
I use the iMic exclusively.

Setting input level when recording

Is there a way to set the input level in Audition when recording? I can't seem to find it if it's there.
Here's the setup: Audition is installed on a new Dell Vostro (plenty of RAM and speed) with an M-Audio Delta 1010 LT card. The input is coming directly from a broadcast console at a radio station. Audition is used to record incoming phone calls along with the DJ's mic for playback later: DJ mic on left channel, incoming call on right channel.
Broadcast consoles are different beasts from recording consoles. The input channels of a broadcast console do not have variable/selectable pads or gain... so the audio signal is fairly hot.
The 1010 LT card has a "control panel mixer" but it seems to have no affect whatsoever on the input level. As a result, the signal clips when it's recorded into Audition.
So... is there a way to set the input level in Audition when recording?

If you are using a soundcard with input from pro console you need one that accepts pro levels I'm afraid! You will need to attenuate the input to the Delta 1010 by some external means like inline 10 - 14dB attenuators for instance.

Can you use applescript to access the volume setting "input level" in system preferences?

I want to make a script that adjusts the output volume of my mac based on the volume that the mic hears. I am not very good with applescript, but I do know how to control the volume. I was wondering if there was a command that retrieved the input level from the mic as it is show in the sound preferences in the system preferences window. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Does the following script do what you are asking for?
get volume settings
set theInput to input volume of result
set volume output volume theInput

I need to change the input level and I can not open the track info pane in the new garageband. Can you help me?

I have tried the help menu. It only shows how to open the track info pane in the old garageband. It shows the info button, which is not in garageband anymore. I need to open the track info pane to change the input level. If there is another way to do this please tell me.

Open the "Smart Controls" for your track, and then press the Info button .
The "record level" slider is at the top of the Info panel below the track heads.

Boosting the mic input level

I want to boost the very faint signal from my low-end, basic dynamic mic into my iMac so the input level is higher.
I would appreciate any feedback on any of the following products or choices:
My choices seem to be a mic pre-amp:
http://www.guitarcenter.com/Behringer-TUBE-ULTRAGAIN-MIC100-Preamp-182482-i11252 16.gc
or
http://www.guitarcenter.com/M-Audio-Audio-Buddy-100387450-i1154049.gc
Or a basic mixer (which evidently has a built-in mic pre-amp:
http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Behringer-Xenyx-502-Mixer?sku=63126 2
Or an audio-interface:
http://www.guitarcenter.com/M-Audio-MobilePre-USB-Portable-Audio-Interface-10221 2776-i1154077.gc
Any intel or thoughts on these would be much appreciated. I'm going for decent, clean sound quality, not Abbey Road.
Regards,
Mark

Hey jvanostran,
Sorry to hear you are having these issues with your Mac. If you are having issues with your mic not retaining the input volume levels in the Sound preference pane, you may want to try repairing the permissions on the startup volume, resetting the System Management Controller (SMC), and resetting the NVRAM. You may find the following articles helpful:

FaceTime limits the input level of the internal mic, FaceTime limits the input level of the internal mic

I can use Skype without any issue with my MBAir, but as soon as connect using facetime, my internal mic loses it sensibility (I've tracked it under the Preferences/Sound/Input). After disconecting, I can see that the mic starts functioning normally again.

Samson C01U usb mic/low input level

I recently bought a Samson C01U usb condenser mic to use with Garageband to record voice and piano for my music studio. When I plug it in, it is recognized in system preferences/Sound. But when I try to record in Garageband, the input level monitor barely responds. I've selected Mono 1, as advised by tech support at Samson. I can't figure out why this mic isn't working, since it's recommended for this exact purpose. I don't think I should need a pre amp, but now am wondering if I do. I'd be so grateful for any advice.
KM

You know, the Samson C01U worked ok with the SoftPre software from Samsontech under Tiger. The input levels could be bumped up sufficiently for the **** thing to actually work even if the input signal was still on the low side.
Since SoftPre doesn't work with Leopard, the C01U is basically an expensive paperweight.
Since Samsontech seem incapable of getting their act together in putting out an operational Leopard compatible SoftPre software release, my advice to the wider Mac community is to BOYCOTT THEM! If Samsontech aren't receptive to consumer needs and flexible enough to act accordingly when the OS is updated, they deserve to suffer the commercial consequences - period!
I'm looking forward to the liberating ritual of taking a giant sledgehammer and obliterating my now useless, overpriced Samson C01U. It's going to be awesome !

Input level resets every time using FaceTime

Hi.
I recently added a webcam to my Mac Mini to use with FaceTime. (It's an IceCam 2). Works fine for my needs, except every time I connect with Facetime, the input level gets reset to 0. I'm able to change it back via system preferences, but is there some reason that it would be doing this? I assume it's when Facetime takes control over the mice input.
Two devices are listed under input, Line In, and the USB Ice Cam. Is there any way to get the input level to stick?
Thanks!

To clarify: I'm using Windows 7 on an HP Pavillion m7 notebook.

Input level for narration

hello,
I don't seem to have any input level lights when adding narration. The lights show up for audio and soundtracks but not for narration. How can I fix this please??

Hello again - thanks for being so patient!
My asio settings are Output   X(box crossed) Realtek High Definition Audio
2048 0 2 16 NO (All highlighted in black)                      Input
X(box crossed) Realtek etc.                            2048 0 2 16 YES ( Not
highlighted in black)
Should that NO be YES?
In the narration box, Realtek comes up also when I click on microphone.
I have switched from a usb microphone to a standard one that plugs into the
front of my computer, and I can hear the sound fron my project clips and the
lvel lights are working now, BUT now when I try to add the narration, the
microphone does not seem to be working and there is no sound in the
narration clip??? The narration works fine without a microphone i.e. when i
just speak straight into the computer speakers.
Thankyou

Input level - meter?

This might seem like a stupid question, but I need to ask it as the GB help doesn't explain it clearly. Where should one set input level for recording and where does one MONITOR that level via a meter reading (to check for clipping, etc)? This seems like such a basic need, so I'm confused to why it's not clearer.
I'm using an M-Audio FW410 which has it's own software mixer, but from their manual it seems the input level should be set from within GB.
I've experimented with the Recording Level slider in GB and even when it's not greyed out I'm not hearing a difference in signal, even if I turn it to 0. Do I actually have to go to the Sound control panel in System Preferences for this? I should mention I'm recording a "real instrument" track and my signal is coming through loud and clear.
The only two level meters I see from within GB are for each track's volume (which is just for mixing and/or monitoring while recording, correct?) and the master volume slider/meter at the bottom.
thanks,
Scott

The meter on each input should be reading at a sensible level: not over-peaking but not too low either. The main control has no effect on these levels, only on the final mix. For example, if the main control was at a normal setting, and you had a number of channels all at a high level, then they would add together and you would need to bring the final level down to prevent it over-peaking. The level should be set sensible at every stage.
You set the input in the GarageBand Preferences, so this will show what you are using. If you have your interface selected then the internal mic is not in use.

Setting NI5641R ADC input level

Hi,
I am using a NI5641R board and I am programming it using the LabVIEW FPGA Module.
How can I set the maximum input level of the ADCs?
Concerning the DACs, there is a VI to set the maximum output level in the library that comes with the board.
Isn't there anything equivalent for the ADCs?
Thank you

Probably, I have found the solution.
I post it for those who are interested. Of course, comments are welcome.
IQ rate at the output of the ADC (downconversion):
- use "ni5640R ADC Configure NCO.vi" VI to configure the sampling frequency (e.g. sample frequency= 100 MHz);
- use "ni5640R ADC Configure DDC.vi" VI to configure the decimation (e.g. decimation=4);
- than, the resulting IQ rate is: sampling frequency/decimation (e.g. 100/4=25).
IQ rate at the input of the DAC (upconversion):
- use "ni5640R DAC Configure for Quadrature Mode.vi" VI to configure the CIC Interpolation Factor (remember that there is an addictional fixed interpolation factor of 4);
- than, the resulting IQ rate is:: 200M/(4*CIC Interpolation Factor).

Recording audio : Input level automatically compressed?

Hi,
in my short experence using Soundtrack Pro, I have never been able to get an input level positiv (yes I know that it means "saturated").
Is the audio signal automatically compressed if it exceeds 0dB ?
Thanks for your help.
Eric

It all depends on the dynamic range of your source.
I usually record around -12 db average if I'm in a controlled environment. -20 db if I'm out in the wild. This gives me enough headroom so that unexpected transients don't blow things out.
If you want to record things hotter, you need a dedicated sound person listening through headphones to ride the levels.
I usually work in video. In that world, broadcast output specs often call for -20 db or -12 db as average levels. All those anoying locally produced commercials are running audio up around -6 db.
If you are recording and mixing music for CD production, audio levels are often captured as hot as they can without clipping. Then, they run the signal through a compressor/limiter to boost the average levels as high as possible.
