i posted here to, i didn't get answer on under sun' so i guess that was wrong place to post

Hi,
Have you tried another mic?
Did you select the record mixer and selected the mic as input source?
Look under properties in the mixer...
Also, Win98SE with 1.5GB ram is not a good idea as lot's of trouble start when you get above 512MB....

Mic recording volume too high

Even with the lowest input volume setting in System Preferences / Sound, the mic recording volume is too high and I'm getting clipping. I'm using an MXL Desktop Recording Kit from Marshall Electronics, with a Griffin iMic USB interface, and recording in GarageBand 3 on a Mac Mini.
I'm a folk singer playing a nylon-string classical guitar, so I'm not even especially loud! The MXL mic captures great sound quality, but it is so sensitive that even when I'm six feet away, my acoustic guitar and vocals frequently max out the sound levels and get clipped. The room where I record doesn't allow me to get much farther away, so I need a different solution.
I've tried using compression while recording, but this doesn't appear to limit the peaks or prevent clipping. Do I need to buy a hardware mixer or some other interface to allow me to further reduce the mic input level, or is there another software contol in GarageBand or someplace else (other than System Preferences / Sound) that I'm missing?
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks, David

Thanks for these suggestions. I suspected GB effects wouldn't change the recording levels, but appreciate the confirmation. I checked the Audio/Midi setup in GB preferences, and I don't see anywhere to adjust the recording level there, just a selection for the audio input (source).
I have been using the iBooster, so I tried plugging the mic directly into the iMic and boosting the input level in System Preferences/Sound. This achieved a much lower input level; so low that the GB tuner couldn't even recognize the pitch of a single string when plucked. So this seems to create the opposite problem (recording volume too low). Good idea to try, though.
I will experiment with the room acoustics and try a larger space, but it still seems the recording level is just too high, period. Any other suggestions?
I saw a reference to a simple mixer in another GB thread (Behringer UB502 Eurorack). Could something like this be a possible solution?
Thanks, David

Presonus Studiolive 16.0.2 Audition Mic Recording Problem

Hey, I wondered if anyone had any experience with Audition being used as a capture software with a the Studiolive 16.0.2 from Presonus.
The board is nice and works well, and connects to Firewire perfectly.
The issue I have is with recording in Audition, it records the mic even with the fader completely down. In my headphones the sound levels are adjusting as they should in the final mix, but in Audition, the fader I've assigned to the mic has absolutely NO effect on the audio going in to Audition. It's CS6 by the way. Not that that should make any difference, I'm sure?
Anyway, any help anyone can suggest would be greatly appreciated.
Neal

I don't know the Studiolive very well (the lack of motorised faders ruled it out for my needs very quickly when I tried it) but most digital mixers can be set for the direct outs to be either pre or post fader. Pre fader is useful when you're recording a live event at the same time you're doing a PA mix, post fader is better in the studio.
Anyway, I'd have a go through the Studiolive manual looking for where you adjust that feature.

No Sound from built-in mic recording to a basic track

I am not a garageband user in the past so please bear with me.
I want to record from the built-in mic and I did and there was a obvious record patten on the basic track.
BUT No Sound, I thought maybe the file was wrong I then recorded an itunes and the record patten was visible and I even tried raising the record level and the patten got higher. The recording level bars in the basic track were green and when I raised the volume there were occasions that they went red.
However both times No Sound when trying to playback.
I checked the speaker levels and raised them to maximum in both the GB and my computer.
The track volume constantly shows 0.00 dB-
Any thoughts as to why I cannot get the sound to playback.
Greg

I got it to work in Guitar track Midi.
I was in real Instrument.
Any reason why there would be a difference that sound plays in Guitar Track and not in Real Instruments ?

Can't hear audio from handheld mic recording

I can hear interviews I recorded with a handheld mic on videos edited in iMovie and uploaded to YouTube only if I access YouTube via a brower such as Safari and Puffin and only if I use my new third generation iPad or an iMac or PC.
If I try to access the videos via YouTube's app on my new iPad, I can hear the nat sound recorded with the video camera but I can't hear the interviews recorded with a handheld mic.
I can't hear the interviews recorded with a handheld mic on my iPhone 4 through YouTube's app or via a browser.
I wasn't having any problem three weeks ago. This just started last week.
What is causing this problem? Is there a workaround or solution?

You're connected to the line-in on the Mac? So set to Line-In or Built-In

Latest updates were Quicktime, Flash and Silverlight Players. FWIW
Any tech guys out there help me troubleshoot the missing "unchecked box"? LOL!

W-D,
After reading your follow up, (me checking your suggestions) I did have success with using 48000 setting...What I needed to do is also change the Realtek Digital Output Playback device settings, to match. Not just the speakers and the Mic in.
I will delve further into your suggestion of an audio interface. However, I am not sure, but when I was buying my MOBO I did some research on the Soundcard at the time and Extreme 6 z77platform it boasted of a pretty nice soundcard stock, with a whisper upgrade... Maybe that is the interface?
I use an Azden mic for now, until I can score a seinheiser on sale...It is an Azden SGMx2 requires batteries. It also is a balanced XLR out, which I then use an adapter to 3.5MM or 1/8th" to plug into my computer...Maybe because I use the front jack I am getting a scuzzy white noise? Due to it being part if the 'el - cheapo' case....(Rosewill Challenger) My puter is a real sleeper. Looks like a Gremlin with a Blown 454 under the hood.
Check out this screen grab and let me know your thoughs on this... Is this from my Quadro cards sound ability or N/A to this scenario. Thanks for your help on this Wild_Duck

Mic Recording Level

Good evening. I would like to do a voice recording in Garage Band but when I plug in my mic the sound is non-existent or very low. Is there some way to boost the volume on the mic using Garage Band?

Best way to mic/record acoustic guitar in song with wide dynamic range

Hey Everyone,
I'm currently working on recording an original song for acoustic guitar and voice. I'm running into trouble though because the guitar part for the verse and refrain are both quiet and understated, but I have this bridge section I do that is very loud. I'm mic-ing my guitar with an AKG 200 Perception Large Diaphragm condenser mic (round-about the 12th fret), and also via my built-in-mic in my guitar, both of which I run directly into my Presonus Firepod. I then record on two tracks at the same time, one for the AKG, and one for the built in mic. But, I'm having to set the sensitivity so low so as not to clip/distort during the loud bridge that I'm just getting a poor sound on the quiet verses and refrains. What's the best way to deal with this? Have a pair of tracks for the quiet parts, and a separate pair for the loud parts? But then I end up with an inconsistent guitar sound.... I'm really fairly new to both the recording process as well as Logic Pro 7. ANY AND ALL suggestions and/or resources are welcome! Thansk very much.

Hi David,
When you say "you're getting poor sound" when it's turned down, is it really poor sound? Or are your ears favoring the other because it's louder? This is a common mistake with beginners. Louder isn't better, it's just louder.
You may need to experiment, but the first thing I would do is move the mic back a bit. Give your guitar some room to develop its sound, before it hits the mic. This will not only make the guitar sound more natural, but will buy you a little room with dynamics.
Normally, compressors are used to help tame the dynamics of a thing like this, but if you do not have decent quality hardware compressors, I would be patient, and find the best "middle ground" you can.
Keep in mind, when mixing, you can use automation and compression to even out the sections somewhat. Don't expect it to "go to tape" dynamically perfect. It doesn't always work that way.
But you could certainly record this is 2 sections, just make sure the ONLY difference is in the level of the pre-amps going to Logic. Make sure the guitar/microphone distance stays the same.
Then when mixing, you have control over the levels of the different sections, and for all intensive purposes, they should sound the same... meaning the same guitar in the same room... just played louder/softer, which by itself is two totally different sounds. Don't expect the softer parts to sound like the louder parts. they simply can't.. and more importantly, they shouldn't. That's the beauty of any acoustic instrument.

Mic records, but I can't hear sound. (Logitech C920).

Hello there, new to the apple support community here but I have a question that I finally can't figure out myself.
I wanted to play around with twitchtv so I purchased a C920 earlier and (not sure how to put this) I can't figure out why the built-in mic is not sending my voice so that I may hear it through headphones or over my stream. I tried configuring various settings I found while researching this problem and still no luck on getting my voice streamed. However, when I go into system preferences in the output area my mic is being heard and in garageband my mic is being recorded. I can hear my voice when use playback in garageband, but that is the only time I can hear my mic.
Currently I am running the latest Mavericks OSX I'm not sure what other information may be needed from my end, but if anyone is able to help I greatly appreciate it.
Edit: I figured out the problem shortly after I posted this... I apologize. It was my Wirecast software, it was not properly sending my voice to twitchtv. I used Flash Media Live Encoder instead and it worked like a charm.

I believe I have the same problem. I've got an 8130 running OS 4.5.0.138, and I've tried two different headsets, both of which worked when tested on two other phones. I've wiped my 8130 and reloaded the OS, but still no audio. I can hear the control beeps from the headset: call received, call rejected, connection completed, etc.; and I can use the button on the headset to accept/reject calls, end calls, redial, and start voice dialing. I just can't hear the call.
I'm at my wit's end and any help would be much appreciated.

Problem with using line in or mic record

MXL Mic Mate using analog condenser mic recording in FCP6 Voiceover tool...

Hmm. I cannot select any sample rate higher than 1600khz... what is the deal? I am running 10.4.11 and the 6.0.4 version of FCP... anyone seen this bug before? I CAN record in Soundtrack @ 48k and also using other USB Mic's... Other mic's plugged into the Mic Mate also do not register in FCP as being able to go over 16k though. So this leads me to believe that FCP isn't letting me record at a higher sample rate since the same setup with Soundtrack is successful.
-Micah

Well, it seemed to be a USB power issue. The "mic mate" supplies phantom power to any mic over USB so that you can record without a preamp or using the deck/camera trick. Turns any analog mic into a USB mic, I know, not the professional best choice but I gotta work with what they give me. Basically once I left everything off the USB ports, including the cinema display hub, it worked like a charm to change the sample rates. Possibly the cable run 10 meters or so? Not sure, once I got FCP to accept 48k it stuck, even after I plugged back in the USB essentials, I cannot change it again... But hey it is what I needed anyways... Is there anyway in Mac world to increase the USB power? And yes, I know about line and mic inputs... But also, thank you for responding, I know there is a massive flood of un-knowledgeable people on here... I wish I had time to help others as well. Possibly in the future.

Halp! Mic record

Could someone please point me to a good on-line tutorial or info on recording a VO within FCP 6.0.6? I haven't done this in years.
Thanks!

Option zero, or TOOLS>VOICE OVER. If you are on a laptop, the usual result is that the internal mic will be the selected input, but you can set it to be what you want, such as LINE, or better yet, a Firewire I/O such as a Presonus mic pre or Apogee or what have you. From there you get yourself ready, script or whatever, and you click RECORD and it will count you in before you begin (pre roll).
I am unfamiliar with any tutorials but I would imagine there are good podcast tutorials on it. However I throw you this simple get started sort of reply because it isn't really very hard. Try what I wrote and good luck.

Is there a way to connect two analog mics recording in stereo to the iPad for recording?

I currently use an M-Audio Mobile Pre to connect two microphones to my MacBook Pro via USB. If I wanted to use my iPad (or even iPhone) instead, is there a way to get the stereo input into the iPad? Would the Line 6 Sonic Port sold via Apple work? Would it take 2 separate inputs and deliver stereo to Garage Band or another recording app? Or is there another way?

Exactly that -- the procedure is described in the online Help: InDesign Help | Text variables
Now every time you insert the variable named "# of potatoes", you'll see the text "50" appear (with a minimal rectangular marker to indicate it's a variable), and when you want another number of potatoes, all you have to do is adjust the text in the Variables dialog.

Improving SNR on Mic recording to built-in sound-card's mic jack

Hi all,
I've been doing my recordings from the built-in mic jack in my laptop (sound card is the basic Intel HDA). From the 'headphones' jack of my Korg, this is not a problem, as the volume level is plenty loud enough for my input volume in alsamixer to be set to about 13% or something like that, which basically means minimal/negligable noise.
However, I just purchased a Shure SM57 mic for vocal/guitar recordings. It's an XLR mic, so I use an XLR cable, an Audio-Technica transformer to convert it to quarter-inch, and then a quarter-inch to headphone-jack converter.
My problem is that the volume levels, as you may imagine, are really low on such a setup, such that I have to turn alsamixer input volume up near to 100%, AND activate some mic boost as well. This means that I get heaps of noise, which is obviously non-ideal.
How can I improve the SNR ratio? Some other sort of converting transformers? Do I need a pre-amp? Are there good noise-removal plugins in Ardour that you could recommend?

If your profile is correct you are running Lion so you don't have a DVD you use the recovery partition.
As long as you do an overwrite install and not a clean install (were you wipe the HD before installing) your files will remain only the system files will be written.
Having said that even though it is safe to do whenever you're doing something like this you should have a good current working backup just in case.
See OS X: About OS X Recovery - Support - Apple for information about using the recovert partition.

No mic record on either kt3
