Record audio playback while recording

I would like to record audio (from a radio) and be able to play it back while it is recording or at a later time. I can do this with DVD-RAM DVD recorder but would like to do it in a simpler manner.

LineIn might do, or Soundflower.

Help with Audio Playback While Recording

I am an aspiring sound engineer and I am having a problem with recording in Audition 3.0 that I need help with. When i record vocals, the sound wave plays back in the speakers/headphones with like a 1.5 second delay after it is recorded. It really throws off the artists I am working with when they are trying to record vocals. How do i kill headphone/speaker playback while someone is recording?

There are problems with a lot of internal soundcards in a lot of laptops, and these seem to be so many and various that all you can do is use trial and error and hope for the best.
External soundcards should cure any problem, but you may have to look into what else is running on the laptop, as so much is integrated, and some machines seem to have audio problems caused by wireless or other network adaptors etc.
As I said, I use oldish Edirol and Tascam usb units. The Tascam has a known fault (noise when using a guitar channel at the same time as phantom powering a mic on the other channel) which I can live with, and I would hope has been solved in later and current versions. The Edirol is fine. I use 2 units to give me the connections I want (ie one has jacks, the other phono plugs, and different size headphone sockets). Both these have asio and wdm drivers and work fine with AA 3.0 here. More modern devices will be usb2 and will presumably provide more channels or higher sampling rates, but these are fine. Others will be more up to date than me, but I would think anything from Tascam, Edirol, Echo Audio and I think most m-audio models should be fine. Just be wary of anything from Creative Labs. I, too, have had bad experiences with one of their products (it drew too much current from the usb port on a couple of the laptops so I never got as far as to find whether it had asio drivers working or not). But others will be more up to date than I am.
I just went onto ebay over the years and kept bidding on sensible looking devices until I got ones at the right price, but it probably is better to buy new if you can afford it.
Sorry I can't give a more definite answer.

Is it possible to record an image while recording a video??

Is it possible to record an image while recording a video??, i know it is possible when the camera is just showing.

Ok i 'm developing an aplication for a hospital where the doctors use the system. For example a pacient goes to take an endoscopy chekup, where the doctor introduces a little camara into the pacient body to see the problem,so the system must be showing that, with this there is no problem JMF uses a Player to do that, the doctor can see what is going on and take a snapshot(image) at the same time. The problem is that when the doctor starts to record a video and at the same time wants to take some snapshot of that video recording.
I use this line of code, but it returns null, and got this message: player doesn't support FrameGrabbingControl.
FrameGrabbingControl cg
cg = (FrameGrabbingControl) processor.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");

In FCP. Trying to record voiceover. Go to Window, Record Audio, see the record window and FCP quits in about 2 seconds.

Trying to record audio voiceover. Go to Window, Select Record Audio, see the record window and FCP quits in about 2 seconds. Can't get started??

I think you've got the right driver selected, otherwise it wouln't work at all. The single most obvious thing to ask you though (I'm sorry if this is too basic) is where you have the pan controls set to? To get each mic to record on a single channel, you'd have to have one panned hard left and the other panned hard right. If you leave them both panned dead centre, that's exactly what you get - both mics on both channels.

Playback while recording question - help!

Hi, all!
Just started using GB, so forgive me if this has been addressed, but I'd really appreciate the help. Say I have two tracks - I record one guitar track, then I want to record vocals while listening to that guitar track (to sing along). However, when I do this, obviously, the microphone for vocals picks up the guitar track being played on my computer, thus making the guitar louder and the vocals buried beneath what is essentially now TWO tracks of guitar. Is there a way to play back a track only in headphones while recording a new track to it?
Thanks so much!

Yes. Plug headphones into the computer, just like the pros do it. Just make sure the built-in output is selected in GB Prefs>Audio/MIDI.

Cant hear song playback while recording with external USB Interface Mic in Garageband

Hi there
There must be something wrong with my settings in Gargaeband/Mac Sound Settings.
I have Garageband 9 (V5.1) running a song I have already recorded using a USB keyboard.
I want to record using my external mic and my USB Audio Interface, so
I select New Track> Real Instrument
I plug in my Yamaha Audiogram 3 USB AUdio Interface and I get a pop up stating
"Garageband is scanning your system for audio devices, and has detected a device named "USB Audio Codec"
If you want to use this device do not disconnect it during the scanning process.
Do you want to use this devise No/Yes."
I select Yes and INPUT SOURCE changes from
Mono 1 (Built-in Microphone)
to
Mono 1 (USB Audio CODEC)
I can see the signal lights lighting up on the audiogram 3 when I talk into the mic, so theres no problem there.
Also when I hit record I can record audio using the mic, and can see the levels (and the audio wave I am creating being drawn on the screen) but I cannot hear the track itself when I am recording using the mic. Nor can I hear the track or the new mic recorded audio AFTER I have hit stop.
The only way to hear the song again with the newly recorded mic track is to unplug the Audiogram 3 (Then I get another Pop-up stating
"The audio device "USB Audio CODEC" has been disconnected!
Do you want to switch to Built-in Audio or quit Garageband?"
I select USE BUILT-IN AUDIO)
Then the input source changes back to
Mono 1 (Built-in Microphone)
And I can hear the track again.
So my problem as you can see if that I cant hear the track while recording using the microphone with the Audiogram 3.
But I can record video with audio using the audiogram 3 USB Audio Inteface and mic using photobooth when I select change Sound>Input to USB Audio Codec in system preferences
It therefore assume it must be a problem with the internal audio settings of the mac/garageband.
Can anyone advise?
thanks!

In order to hear yourself while you are recording, you need to set Monitor to "ON" under the Track Info panel.
Also, what are your sound output settings? It sounds like you haven't selected the right output source.
If your speakers or headphones are plugged into your audio interface, then you need to go into Preferences -> Audio/MIDI and select your audio interface under Output as well as Input. If your speakers or headphones are built-in or plugged directly into your computer, then you need to select Built-In under Output.
I have a sneaky feeling that you are in the latter scenario, and that when you plug in your audio interface Garageband is automatically switching both Input and Output over to your interface, which means no sound output as long as the interface is plugged in.

Having Monitoring Problems with in Adobe Audition using built in outputs No playback while recording?

I was using Adobe audition to Record Audio and some how the output throught the hardware settings got changed to airplay. Now even if I change the settings to built in output the is no playback through the computer speakers!! aAny Help would be great! I Put this quesion in the Adobe Forums as well. Just thought I might get some help here quicker. Thanks for your time.

"This program is too expensive to have such an amateur limitation."
To help you, Eric.. this is a conclusion to the question the precedes it. I never blamed the program for my lack of knowledge. I wouldn't waste my time in a message board asking how to accomplish a task if I felt it was impossible.
And, Arrogance? The extent of my description was to prevent people from responding with suggestions I've already tried. The second response fixed the problem (not the first, mind you) so it seems my message suited the situation... and no others found the need to tell me I was the problem.
MY attitude is in response to YOUR arrogance. After asking a friendly question, you respond with the limitation only being mine, but there is also a limitation with the software. Contradictory? I see you have a reputation to uphold, and now understand the driver that came with Audition does have limitation. It's nice to see you have people that give you credit, because your posts merely tell me that (1) I don't know what I'm doing .. and (2) Yeah, Audition has the limitation you need help getting around.
Well thanks for your help. My first and last point is why you find the need to tell people they don't understand something, when that's clearly why they've come to you and your peers. You'd make a great firefighter -- showin' up with flashing lights, to deliver the news to people that they don't know how to work an oven.

Recording Audio Playback offset/delayed

As a loyal Logic member since version 7, I recently started having a problem when playing back audio tracks. The audio seems to playback behind the beat. Is there a recording playback offset or delay option perhaps I accidently switch on or altered?
Please help.
Terrytagg

Are these recently recorded audio tracks?
If so.. look at: Preferences/Audio See the "Record Delay" adjustment? It should be set to zero.
PlugIn Delay Compensation should be set to: Audio and Sortware Instrument Tracks.
Low Latency Mode disabled.

Audio Skipping While Recording in GB '09

Hey there! I hope this hasn't been answered before but I'm new to the podcasting game and just starting to get my feet wet, and just when I thought I had everything under control, I playback my 55 minute audio and realize there are MANY instance where the audio either cuts out, or quiets down to an absolute whisper for no rhyme or reason.
I am running GB '09 on a Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8.
I am using 2 USB Mics simulataneously to record a podcast. Specifically I am using 2 CAD U1 USB Recording Microphones.
I paired them together as an aggregate device so I can record using multiple microphones. After some testing I thought the audio sounded great after playback, and then let my podcast recording rip as I recorded a natural conversation with a friend for 55 minutes. As we played back the audio, time after time the audio would either cut out, or it would become so faint that you could barely hear anything, but if you listened closely enough, it was the original audio. We didn't mount the mics, but spoke directly into them from a close distance. I am using 2 tracks obviously for each microphone.
Am I doing something wrong? It ***** I have to re-record this already, but want to avoid this problem next time.
As for effects, I am using a -10db noisegate to rid the humming and echoing. I am using manual bass reducer and compressor. I have both monitors off. Auto record level is on. Master reverb and echo are both at 0. Almost all the default settings aside from the noisegate and reverb.
Is it the microphones problem? Were we moving around too much? Is it a common problem with 2 USB mics? Have I adjusted something wrongly on the settings?
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated, or if someone needs more info out of me to help, PLEASE feel free to ask so I can help you better understand where I stand.
Once again, I am a first time GB user, and podcaster. Looking to perfect this and have my audio sound flawless!
Thanks so much!

This doesn't sound usual but I would guess it could be a problem with the auto level. You may want to set the input levels and monitor the recording with headphones.

Recording audio playback

whenever i turn on the phantom switch on my TASCAM interface to record audio, distortion (feedback) from my speakers is heard in the playback. please help me ! arghhhhhh

Not much info. How have you hooked things up, how have you configured Audio MIDI Setup/Sound control panel/Logic, what cables go in where, how does the builtin audio of the Mac sound/ are all you cables allright, are all the levels allright, have you plugged things in the right holes, have you set any switches right, it could be anything. Argh.

Fast audio playback after recording overlay in CS4- How can I slow it down play at regular speed?

I have a video that I am trying to record audio narration over and everytime I record the audio (as I have done many times in the past) it goes on the time as a shorter clip that plays back at a faster speed causing me to sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks. What am I doing wrong and how do I get it to play and record in real time speed? The video speed is uneffected and plays normally?
Thanks!

Great- I think that would fix the issue but how do I set my recording to
32,000- it's recording at 48,000 now?

Recording Audio Simultaneously while importing video in iMovie 11

I need to import live video and record audio simultaneously. Unfortunately I have to select a clip and do voice over and it is not going to be as effective. Is there any way around this?

Ok
I tried that but no go.
In the handy cam viewer as soon as I plug in the cabe it shows HDV out iLink and immediatly changes to HDV in iLink. I assume that the cable is right than.
I have no possiblety jet to check the cable but it is only 6 months old and not used much.
The port on the MacBook pro is ok I used a firewire 800 external drive and it shows up an I can browse the disk.
Regards

Cannot playback while recording

While recording a show, I cannot go back AT ALL. It just will not work. I have to start the entire program over using Play to get back to where I was in order to go back at all. This is ridiculous. I have rebooted the box a number of times. I will not totally reset the box because the last time that was done, it wiped out all of my settings and favorites (even though tech support said it wouldn't).
Is the only solution to this a new box? I don't want to go to the trouble of getting a new box and discover I have the same annoying problem.

Replacing the box would fix troubles caused by physical issues. This is not caused by a physical problem. This is a software function. We would need to reprogram the box. The reprogram will cause personalized settings and favorites to be lost. If you would like to go through with this, please send me a private message.

Record mic volume while recording screen?

My brother wants to record his mic while playing runescape but xvidcap doesn't capture his mic. I have the capture set all the way up (it makes a buzzing sound btw) but it doesn't capture it. Is there way I can capture his mic while doing a screencast? Does any other screencast software work? (software must of a region select option)
I tried pulseaudio but in the recording tab there are no streams. Any help would be appreciated.

I use qt-recordmydesktop which allows me to set the audio capture device.
There are pygtk and command line versions as well.

Is it possible to get Apple Keynote to show the presenter display instead of just the slides when I record audio using Play - Record Slideshow?

Rather than giving a presentation with an external monitor, I want to sit at my desk and record a presentation for distribution like a podcast. When I click record to add the sound to the presentation I see the slide show on the screen while recording instead of the presenter display. I would like to watch the presenter display while recording so that I can see the next slide as I record. There doesn't seem to be any way to record and watch the presenter display without having an external monitor attached. Does anyone know how to get the presenter display to show while recording without an external monitor?

I also needed to view presenter notes while recording a presentation on my Macbook Pro and could not find a solutions, but I did find a pretty good work around.
I downloaded the Keynote Remote app for my iPhone. I am now able to start recording on my laptop and then hit start slideshow on my iphone to view a portrait mode version of my slides with presenter notes below. I use my phone to flip through slides and slide builds while I'm reading through my presenter notes. When I've reached the end of the presentation I hit esc on my Macbook Pro and I'm done. I'm then able to export the recorded presentation as a Quicktime video and post it on our website, which is exactly what I set out to do.
It takes a little bit of coordination to get used to this method, but I don't need to have a projector or second monitor because my phone takes on the second monitor role.
