RAM streamed audio - capturing problem

I have come from the PC camp where I can fire up Realplayer and sound recorder and record the audio stream (for later listening).
Now on the MAC I find I am unable to achieve this. I tried AudioHijack and it required SoundFlower. This seemed to work but screwed up other audio settings which I didn't want screwed up. I ended up uninstalling Soundflower.
Does anyone know how I can achieve this? I tried Audacity but it seems to only support 'line in'. I tried various other internet-radio apps but they didn't seem very happy about connecting to the sources I want (BBC) let alone allowing me to save/record the stream. I tried VLC but it didn't want to play all the stream and I couldn't see a way of saving it anyway.
I'm running Leopard and all I get in the Audio configuration under INPUT is 'Internal Microphone' and 'Line in'.
Is there no application out there that could perform this simple task?

You should uninstall Soundflower then. I don't think you need it. According to the Soundflower description:
*What It Is*
Soundflower is used to allow all system audio to be hijacked. With Soundflower installed, all System Audio can be hijacked at once and used, instead of grabbing audio from just one application at a time.
You said you are trying to record from the BBC. That means you are trying to record one application's output, not from everything that's running. Therefore, it sounds like you don't need to have Soundflower installed at all.
All you need is the default Audio Hijack behavior, which is to record a single application's audio stream.
I've been using Audio Hijack for years, and to avoid conflicts, I still have not installed the Extras (Instant Hijack, Soundflower, and Schedule Helper). So choose Audio Hijack Pro > Install Extras, click the Soundflower tab, and click Uninstall and see if you can then do what you want to do without trouble.

Audio Capture problem in Mac OS X 10.7.5 in Mac mini(in Silverlight)

I got a mac mini and upgrade Mac OS X 10.6.x --> 10.7.5.
However do not hearing the audio in Webpage using Silverlight.(10.6. version doing well)
So, I found the solve this problem, that is a audio capture problem.( My device does not supported Stereo audio data).
this is the source in audio capture using Silverlight code.
CaptureSource source = new CaptureSource()
                        AudioCaptureDevice = CaptureDeviceConfiguration.GetDefaultAudioCaptureDevice()
                    try
                        foreach (AudioFormat af in source.AudioCaptureDevice.SupportedFormats)
                            if (af.Channels == 1 && af.BitsPerSample == 16 && af.SamplesPerSecond == 8000)
                                source.AudioCaptureDevice.DesiredFormat = af;
                                break;
af.Channels is always af.Channel == 2(Stereo)
--- the question is
How can I caputure audio channel mono?
If couldn`t, how can I transfered audio capture data stereo to mono?

Audio Capture problem

When Capturing from a DV device on to final cut express HD, only audio is "caught". When I checked the scratch bin the audio selection was disabled (like, the check-bow was dimmed and unable to be changed). I'd like to be able to capture audio without using the voiceover feature and having to completely match audio with video. Ya dig?
Thank you (for at least reading this)!

then why is FCE capturing video but not audio. all the settings are correct, the only thing i fan find wrong is the "audio capture" check box in sratch disk settings under system settings is nulled to where you can't do anything to it. So, unless it's normally like that, I'd say it has something to do with the way it captures audio.
so, please tell me that has nothing to do with it so I can find another reason why it won't capture audio.

Streaming Audio Application Problem

HI All,
I have written a small application for streaming audio in flash cs3/as2. One strange thing I observed that I cant play streaming audio from
all the free streaming website I add to the list. After the website address if I mention the port number then cant get the audio.
I tried with this address http://stream.radiosai.net:8002 that is added to trusted list/path. My analyse is that if the address has strings like ":8002" i.e port number then flash doesn't allow them to use... I also observed that if I run the swf file using internet explorer then everything works fine... however test movie (Ctrl+ENTER) from CS3 tool doesn't work Please help me....

Here's the code.
EDIT
As always seems to happen for me, as I posted my code, I
found what was wrong with it. In my playSong function, I was saying
s = new Sound(); without reasigning the handler for the event. I
just didn't see it until right after I posted my code.
Thanks for your help anyway.

Errors filling up daily.out file, streaming audio/vid problems, how to fix

I've been experincing some seemingly random problems with my macbook
1) Hard drive suspiciously full
2) Cursor skipping around the screen when using the track pad, I finally disabled the pad and solely use an external wireless mouse. Occasionally when I turn the computer on the cursor will move around, but I'll be unable to select anything with the left click, right click still works, when I restart again the problem goes away. May or may not be related to other problems
3) Recently have been having problems with streaming video/audio. The videos will load fine, but the audio will start skipping and soon the video will stop. This happens most noticeably with Netflix, which tells me I have an audio problem that requires that I reinstall my "audio card drivers." It also happens with video from vimeo, youtube, and other sources, regardless of whether I'm using Firefox or Safari. On the other hand, songs on itunes work fine. I check my download speed, which is actually above what I'm paying for. My google fu has failed me in determining what the actual problem is.
Today I determined that the daily.out file is 19.6 gb, and when checking the log I found many many many repetitions of the following errors:
"Fri May 4 15:02:00 House kernel[0] <Debug>: IOAudioStream\[0x57b5d00\]::clipIfNecessary() - Error: attempting to clip to a position more than one buffer ahead of last clip position (18,2c44)->(1a,1882)."
Alternating with:
"Fri May 4 14:34:37 House Firewall[62] <Info>: Deny Belkin Router Mo data in from 192.168.2.1:45563 to port 10111 proto=17"
So, I'm thinking my huge daily.out file is related to my audio problems. Any ideas on what's up with my audio/firewall?
Other common errors:
Mon Apr 30 12:16:46 House com.apple.launchd[1] (com.google.keystone.daemon) <Warning>: Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Mon Apr 30 12:16:16 House com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[193] (com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher[57563]) <Warning>: Exited with exit code: 1
Mon Apr 30 12:12:29 House com.apple.launchd[1] (at.obdev.littlesnitchd[57493]) <Warning>: Exited with exit code: 1
I know I can clear the daily.out file, but I'd like to address the problems filling it up so I don't have to keep emptying it. If I have to reinstall my OS, fine, but I'd rather not deal with it if I don't have to. Thanks so much for any ideas.

I have a suspicion that the problem is not in the recording device itelf, but rather in the playback-software, which is struggling with an unfamiliar audio format/codec/whatever-it's-called... I opened the file in QuickTime Player 7 (7.6.6) and selected "Show Movie Properties" and it says:
"Video Track: H.264
Sound Track: Integer (Little Endian)"
All current Mac systems support Integer (both Big and Little Endian) audio natively. The fact you can hear anything at all proves that the audio is playing back. The most likely problem would be a malfunction associated with the mic pickup.

Ti4800 & audio capture problems

Hi,
I've got the Ti4800 card and though the sound is perfect when I'm recording off tv, vcr etc when I -play back the captured clip it's all noisy. The audio is there but there's a loud static noise playing over it.
I'm using the winproducer software that came with the card..
Anyone else have this problem too? What am I doing wrong?

What are the IRQ settings?
Any other magnetic devices near your com while recording/ playback?
How do you link them up?
All the Best... :D!!!

Streaming audio player problems.

I would be grateful if someone could help me with the following problems.
I have developed an audio streaming app that relies on OSMF framework in Android and StageVideo / Netstream classes in iOS (OSMF is HLS agnostic).
The Android app, works great except when the screen goes dark or when the app is pushed in the background.
When the screen goes dark, the app takes almost a minute to switch between streams. When testing in AIR simulator and when the device screen is not dark, the app moves to the next track quickly. Why? Is this related to the fact that the framerate slows to 4 per second when device screen is dark?
If the app is pushed to the background, the audio continues playing, but when the track is complete, the player does not continue to play the next track. If I bring the app to the foreground, it immediately starts playing the next track. Again, I don't understand why this is the case?
I tried setting the different rendering modes to direct, and cpu. When set to direct, the app stops playing as soon as the screen goes dark. In auto and cpu mode, it continues to play but it does exhibit the problems mentioned above. I did not try the GPU since Adobe is against doing so for Flex applications.
When testing in iOS, the app keeps the screen lit the whole time. This is by design from me because I have added
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode = SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE;
to keep the phone screen from going dark. If I allow the screen to go dark, the app stops playing. The audio stops playing if I push the app to the background as well. Of course, keeping the screen lit is not ideal because it unnecessarily drains the battery and is distracting when driving at night. I have seen other apps for example that keep playing audio when the screen dark, so I know that it is possible. Any suggestions on how to keep the audio playing when the screen goes dark or when the app is pushed to the background would be greatly appreciated.

Just to be clear, using the same sound file Ableton Live will crash but other media players play it back fine? If that's the case, I would contact Ableton support.

Audio capture problem - I am baffled!

I am having a strange experience trying to capture footage from a particular tape. Perhaps someone out there can help me solve this mystery.
I have a particular DVCAM tape that I am trying to capture.
If I capture it to Premiere CS4 using a Sony DSR-11, the audio of the footage is 48K mono.
If I capture any other tape with the DSR-11, the audio of the footage is 48K stereo.
If I capture this tape using a Sony DSR-200, the captured audio is also 48K mono
When I am monitoring the audio of this tape through Premiere, I can hear that it is mono
When I monitor the analog outputs of the DSR-11, I can hear that the audio is stereo.
If I run a firewire cable from the DSR-11 to a DVD recorder, and monitor that, I can hear that the audio is stereo.
I have tried creating a new project, but the same things happen.
What might possibly be going on?! Why can't I capture the audio from this *one* tape in stereo? I am completely baffled.
J. D.

Hmm. Interesting about the DSR200. I no longer shoot with the DSR200, but I'm re-editing an older tape from the time when I did shoot with the DSR200. As such, this will not likely be an issue in the future. At least the mystery is solved, for which I am grateful. As a test, I tried capturing from footage from a different tape shot with the DSR200, and I experienced the same problem.
As far as the difference between type 1 and type 2 .avi files, I wasn't aware of this. For this project, I'll output the audio of the type 1 .avi file as a .wav file, and sync it to the type 2 .avi file with the mono audio.
Thank you everyone for your help!

NEED HELP WITH AUDIO CAPTURE PROBLEM

I've been filming for the past 2 weeks on a MiniDV camcorder. Heres the problem, I didn't check the audio bit rate before I started filming. Instead of the normal 16 bit, I used 12 bit. Now when I try to Capture the footage, the audio is out of sync and final cut says something along the lines of "The sample bit rate is different than the source. Change the settings to match the source."
I tried to go into the settings menu and change the bit rate to 12 bit, however I was not successful. Can someone please help me with this situation? Thanks for looking. Hope we can figure out a solution.
-D.

Thanks for replying Les. I tinkered with some stuff and it is still not working. I thought I was able to change the "Capture Preset" to 32kHz, instead I was only able to change the "Sequence Preset". The Capture Preset is still set at 48kHz and I have no idea how to change it. Hope you might know what to do. Thanks again for the help.

I did download and install it. No Joy. I went back and tried ot uninstall and reinstall the drivers. I am now getting an error when I run the install program. It appears there is some kind of problem with Installshield installer. I am getting a "1608 error cannot create an installatin instance". Installsheild has several suggested solutions. none of them seem to be working. What the heck is going on. To quote an unnamed presidential "EEEIIIIAAAAAACH"

Audio capture problems

I'll see if I can summarise this clearly and accurately.
Client has material recorded onto DV tape. The audio was captured directly onto tape via an external mike connected to the camera.
When played back on a tape deck or through my own camera, the audio is almost inaudible. However, when played back through the client's camera and heard through headphones, the audio is clear and distinct.
When capturing the material from my DSR11, the FCP Audio Meters show levels to be normal (peaking at around -6dB), even though the audio is still virtually inaudible. After capture, however, the Audio Meters show the levels to be very low (around -40dB).
This remains the case when the audio is captured directly from the client's camera (the sound can be heard normally through headphones connected to the camera - the camera's audio output level is set at the mid-point, it is not turned up - and shows at normal levels on FCP's Audio Meters, but the sound becomes very quiet and the levels on the Audio Meters drop back down after capture).
The material has been captured on different tape stocks, and only about half of the tapes in the client's batch have problems - the rest are audible as normal.
My tape deck and camera have been tested with other tapes and are working normally. FCP is configured to capture stereo through both channels.
In short, everything is set up normally and in working order, but the problem persists.
Has anyone any idea (a) what is wrong and (b) what to do about it? Please answer the second question first!
Many thanks.

Maybe the mic records to mono.
Do you see two audio tracks in the Viewer and Timeline?

FCP Kona 3 Audio Capture Problem

Hello,
We're trying to capture 4 channels of audio only through the embedded HD input, using a Kona 3 card on our G5 2.66 Intel Mac with FCP 6.01 from a Panasonic 1400 HD VTR. All 16 channels are coming in even when we highlight or deselect the audio tracks under clip settings in FCP. Do you have any other ideas on how to capture only four channels of audio?
Thanks in Advance!

Problems with Roxio Spin Doctor audio capture

I recently purchased Roxio Toast Titanium 10, which includes Spin Doctor 6 (version 5.0.4). I am trying to use it to capture audio streaming as described in the Spin Doctor User Guide, but continue to have problems. I have repeatedly contacted Roxio with little success. Most recently they had me provide a copy of my System Profiler file and "escalated" the issue. Only result was that I was told to uninstall and reinstall Toast 10. I did that but the problems persist. Here's my report back to Roxio, which explains the problem. I'm wondering if anyone here has encountered this problem or has suggestions on how to proceed.
Bottom line is that I cannot capture streamed audio, as Spin Doctor documentation says I should. I'm guessing this has something to do with the Audio Capture Support program within Spin Doctor, but I can't find out what's wrong.
Here's the description I provided Roxio: +I uninstalled the software and re-installed it per your instructions. Once in Spin Doctor I also installed Audio Capture Support, closed Spin Doctor, and re-opened it. The Start Auto Music Capture button was active. Following the instructions in your Spin Doctor User Guide (page 22) I went selected "start a new recording" and selected various parameters. CDSD Audio Capture was one of the input options. I clicked on the "start" button and immediately got an error message. After that the Auto Music Capture button was no longer active and CDSD audio capture was no longer one of the input options.+

UPDATE: I again uninstalled everything and reinstalled. I did not install the Auto Capture Support feature in Spin Doctor. I was able to successfully record from an internet stream, saved it, and then started another recording. After the second recording I quit Spin Doctor and re-opened it. Now I have the same problem as before: the Auto Capture button does not work and CDSD is not an input option. Back to the same situation as before. I tried quitting both Toast and Spin Doctor and re-opening them but it didn't make a difference.

Problem with streaming audio

I wasn't sure if this is a problem with Safari, iTunes, or OS X, so rather than post the question in all three of those forums I decided to post the question here.
I can't seem to get streaming audio to open and play when I click on their appropriate links in Safari. I tried several different links through a few different sites, but when I click on a "Play" or "Listen Now" link for an MP3 stream, a Safari download window opens and that's it -- no stream.
I solved the problem by copying the link, going to iTunes, and choosing "Open Stream" from the "Advanced" menu, and the stream played fine, but I would hate to have to do that every time I want to sample an audio stream.
Anyone know why it wouldn't work when I clicked on the direct link?
Thanks.

Nevermind. Noob figured out what he was doing wrong.
See Safari "Preferences", "Open 'safe' files after downloading".
