Output Mini-disc recording to PB, how?

How to output music from a Sharp mini-disc recorder (no output, just headphone output) with an Imic into a PB?

This is how I'd do it;
Connect the headphone output of the mini-disc recorder to an audio mixer (with the appropriate adapters) to control the gain and hopefully match the mini-disc's output impedence using the trim control of the mixer. Output from the mixer to DV/DVCam tape. Then capture the tape in FCP (audio only). The reason behind going to tape first is to have a timecoded source in case of a future need to recapture.

  • Using final cut studio what the best way of getting a mini disc in to FCP?

    I do some weddings and record some audio on to a mini disc recorder ( the small ones . On my avid liquid edit suite I just used to run it in live or ingest it on a 2 hour timer, and just record audio.
    What the best way to do it with final cut studio and final cut pro?

    Is there a reason you can't do the same on your mac system? What outputs does the audio recorder have?

  • Recording to garageband from mini disc using the i mic

    When I am recording in to garageband I get a very loud clicking which I am sure is not good for my speakers. I am turning the metronome off when I create the track that I am recording onto. I have looked at other reasons for this but can find none.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    If I were you, I would use another program for recording and then remove the click. Audacity is a free recorder/editor that can probably do the trick. Then you can import it into garageband.
    The click can be caused by a difference in "voltage" (the electric potential) on both sides: if the mini disc has a different "zero" level (the average of its output, sometimes called the DC level) than your iMic, you can get a click and the only way to get rid of it is using balanced inputs and outputs (which is probably not an option).
    If it is the DC level, you'll need to get rid of that as well before importing the file into Garageband. I think Audacity has a "remove DC" filter.

  • A mini disc will not work in superdrive.  How would you suggest I retrieve the data from a mini disc to my macbook air?

    Reading the previous comments, I understand the last thing I want to do is stick a mini-disc in my superdrive.  Not too super, but never mind.
    Any suggestions as to how I can read it?  It has the user's manual for my new actioncam.

    buy a tray loading LG DVD drive from best buy or amazon.com
    theyre only $30
    they work perfect on the Air (i know)  and have a MUCH longer cable for ease of use than does the superdrive.

  • Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?

    Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?
    I insert it into the mac, but the OS cannot load the disc and the disc cannot be ejected even i pressed the "eject" button.

    This happened to a family members macbookpro. A mini-cd inserted, couldn't be mounted or ejected by the drive.
    I cut a rectangle from a cereal box about two inches wide and 6 inches long. Abour an inch and half from one end in the middle I cut a notch and bent it down a little.

    I then inserted it slowly into the drive notch down and slowly pulled out. I did this few times and caught the mimi-cd and removed it. The drive has worked flawlessly for several years
    A few days after this happened I was in BestBuy and an Apple rep was there displaying new Apple products. I asked him about it and he said they have a tool that ***** it out.

  • Recording to mini-disc via Plastic Optical Fibre cable?

    Is this possible to do?
    The cable I have for my old mini disc player that I have never used has a TOS connector on one end, and a mini-plug on the other. Since there is no socket for the TOS on my MacBook (2008), if I were to buy a TOS to mini plug adaptor, would this allow me to record to mini-disc via the optical cable?

    Hmmmm. Just bought a new cable, and connected between by macbook and my mini-disc, only when I play music and press record, it says there is no signal.
    I hope this is possible to do or else I've just wasted a load of money.

  • How can i eject a mini disc?

    I inserted a mini-disc on my mac and now I can't see it anywhere and it is stuck
    How can I eject it?

    Well, you can try:
    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
    But this only works if it's a tray drive. If it's a slot drive all you can do is try to shake it out or take it in for service.

  • I'm trying to record in Adobe Audition and it keeps saying my the sample rates for my input and output devices do not match.  How do I correct this?

    I'm trying to record in Audition and it keeps saying my sample rates for the input and output devices don't match.  How do I fix this?

    I finally have communication between the ISA One and Audition. I moved the optic cable to another SPDIF on the computer and from the SPDIF to ADAT on the ISA One and it finally agreed that the communication was at the same clock speed. The audio was not intelligible so I moved the optic cable back to the original configuration and I can record voice that is clean.          

  • I have a MacBook Pro and someone has inserted a mini disc in the disc drive and I can not eject it or even get it to read, How can I remove it?

    Sounds like to me that you have a bootcamp partition with Windows and have the default Windows to boot first.
    I think there is a Windows Control Panel or other setting while your in Windows to set the OS X as the first boot option.
    Also in OS X there is a option under the System Preferences to set OS X as the first boot option.

  • How to wrap a stored procedure that outputs PL/SQL records for JDBC?

    Hello everybody,
    Is there an example for wrapping a stored procedure that outputs PL/SQL records and/or PL/SQL tables of records, so that it can be called from JDBC?
    Since this is not possible with the Oracle JDBC driver, Oracle recommends "To wrap a stored procedure that uses PL/SQL tables, break the data into components or perhaps use Oracle collection types." (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12037_01/java.101/b10979/ref.htm#sthref2123)
    Many thanks for any help,
    Cheers, Christoph

    Hi Christoph,
    Have you tried using JPublisher, or -more easily- JDeveloper (Go to your database connection in the "Connections" pane, open the "Packages" node, right click to "Generate Java...").
    These approaches (at minimum, use of jpub) will generate required PL/SQL wrapper code, including SQL Type declarations. Once these are installed in the database, you can invoke the wrapper procedures directly from Java.

  • How to get a mini disc out of the drive?

    Hi all. I have just made the stupid mistake of putting a mini disc inside my G4 and i cant get it out by ejecting. It is not even detected by the system. People have recomended restarting the system and holding down the mouse button, but that did not help. Others have recomended sliding a business card into the slot, however I'm reluctant to try that due to fear of damaging my system. Is there any safe way to professionally remove this disc? Any help is much appreciated.

    The absolute safe pro way is to pull the drive and open the top. Sorry a pain I know.
    There are other ways, some more dangerous than others

    Hey - i've got a Lacie external cd/dvd burner. firewire. and when i load a mini-dvd-rw (recorded movie from sony handycam). my mac tells me that i've just inserted a black dvd. asking to choose an action from the pop-up menu or click ignore. i click ignore, because i want the movie off it. = finder is empty. but showing that there is only 644mb of memory left on disc. (so i know its actually on the disc) but how do i get it off at this point as it does not show me the data?
    Many Thanks

  • Can you use logic express on a mac mini for recording

    Can i use logic exprees on a mac mini for recording? Ive seen alot of 8,12, and 16 track recorders with a cd burner and it seems like a logical and more productive gues for me to buy a macmini for the same thing of recording and then I can uses logic express, a far better program for recording. can the mac mini handle the load of processing tracks and how much ram should I uses? thanks tim

    sorry, I'd like to butt in here:
    I would like to do the same thing, so I am curious about this forum and rather than starting a new one, can I get some advice on this possibility:
    Mac Mini
    1.83GHz Intel Core Duo
    2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB
    80GB Serial ATA drive
    Glyph External HD 250 Gig
    Mackie Onyx 1620 w/Firewire
    Logic Pro 7.2
    thoughts?
    The most number of tracks I could see at once would be 16.
    Here is something I am most curious about...
    Firewire Hard drive
    Firewire Interface/mixer
    Firewire camera for FCP
    to much firewire?
    Please let me know if you have other thoughts aswell...
