Recording analog devices (LPS, Tapes) through line-in input jack

I'm looking to record my old LP's and tapes through the line-in jack into iTunes. Does Garage Band allow you to do this or do I need additional software.
Thanks, Mike

The Griffin iMic is a recommended piece of kit for connecting turntable/tape/mini-disc and it comes with the program 'Final Vinyl' which includes a pre-amp for turntables. However, I had frustrating problems with FV whilst converting my LP, tape and mini-disc collection to iTunes (should complete it around my 128th birthday...) so I bought Wire Tap from Ambrosia and it's much easier to use. I use FV to monitor the input and WT for the conversion to mp3 or AAC. Also, you can record any sounds coming in online, if you want to, live or using its in-built timer, which is great for recording online radio or streamed music.

Recording from input jack

can GB record analog and convert to AIFF using the input jack hooked up to (analog) tape deck? I've hooked up the deck and get a meter reading in Preferences , but don't know which program to record it with. If not GB is there another?

You can use GB to record from your tape deck - make sure you select the line-in as the audio input in GB!

Otherwise, there's a lot of freeware or shareware audio editors available that are better suited for that purpose (and less confusing for the beginner):

Let me be sure I understand what you need. You want to connect an audio device to the Audio In port of your MBP and record its output with the MBP.
If that's correct, what you need is audio editing software. You can use GarageBand, which probably came bundled with your MBP, but it's a bit heavy for that purpose alone. A better tool is the free audio editor Audacity. It's powerful and cross-platform, which means that it's a little rougher around the edges than is usually the case with Mac software, but you can't beat the price. There are others (Sound Studio, Amadeus Pro, TwistedWave, Wave Editor, and more), but you can get going with Audacity.

Cannot record through line-in in bootcamp MBP late summer '09 model

cannot record through line-in in bootcamp MBP late summer '09 model
audio source (mp3 player) <3.5mm male input-------------3.5mm male input> line-in to macbook pro late summer 2009 model bootcamp windows xp sp2
when i select microphone in the audio panel - it works
when i select line-in and plug in the 3.5mm jack input to 3.5mm jack input to a fm radio for ex. it doesn't work
how do i make the line-in work?
i remember that when i first installed mac osx sl and windows xp bootcamp - the first couple of times around when partitioning the hd - the line-in worked a couple of times, in between times somewhere along the line i made some change to the spdif settings ?? or driver / to make the red light that comes on in the line-in jack go away - the other method was to use a toothpick to push a tiny button inside the jack, did that once -but the redlight came back again after a restart on bootcamp side.
thanks in advance,

Although I don't use it, the Line-Input jack should require a signal about 40dB higher than what a microphone alone puts out. If your cable only adapts the connector and does not provide amplification, I'm not surprised you get nothing. If you are lucky, you MIGHT get a low signal by going into System Prefs/Sound/input/line-in and turning the input level slider all the way up. But the real answer to to get a mike preamp or mixer, or a mike with line-level output. Some products take a mike input and convert it to digital into the USB port.

Trying to record through line in no wo

Hey, I am using a sound blaster li've sound card and want to record through the line in port on the back. I have bought a convertor which has allowed me to plug my guitar into the line in however when i play nothing comes out and my recording programs don't reconize the line in. Nothing is muted so that is not the problem. If anyone could help me out i would greatly appreciate it thanks.

yeah i have a similar problem when recording through my microphone. I like to play my little guitar, sing my little songs anre record them via microphone. I noticed, no sound. I had the volume turned down as to prevent the annoying "squuueeeeeeeeeel". but i noticed when i turn my speaker volume up, it records.. but then i get the occational "squeeeeeeeeel" hmm. i'm starting to notice, i'm having all sorts of problems with thsi card. lol

Recording tape through garage band and I mac mic

Something happened while recording tapes into my computer using I Mic and we can't get it to work again-tried everything. So when I was asked if I could make a Cd of 25 year old tapes of a concert choir for a reunion this month, I tried in a quiet setting, playing the tape on a tape unit, and using garage band to record it to my computer through the built in I mic. This did work, and I could save it to I Tune, etc. but the only way I could do it was to use Podcast, and my choice of selection is either female voice, male voice or "jingles." I tried all 3 options and always get a poor copy of the tape in that it doesn't have the rich sound of the taped piece. My recorder unit does not have any outlets to record tape deck to computer so this is my only option right now and time is running out.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to which setting on Podcast would work best for a choir sound or anything else I could try before I give up the project?

are you sure there are no OUTs? not even a headphone?

Importing form analog devices.

What is the best way to transfer video from analog ( tape ) camcorders and vcr tapes? I have various tapes of a single event recorded on different devices. One is a Hi-8 camcorder, one is from a VHS camcorder, and one is from a camcorder that doesn't have firewire.

What is the best way to transfer video from analog ( tape ) camcorders and vcr tapes?
Basically you need some sort of a DAC (Digital-Analog Converter) device. In some cases, digital camcorders may act as a DAC if they have the ability to "pass through" analog signals (from tape or cable inputs) to the DV encoder which is then output to a computer via firewire. If you don't already have such a device, then you can purchase a dedicated DAC for general use between any analog source (VCR, TV, sat tuner, analog cameras/camcorders, etc.) and your computers. I personally like the Canopus line (I use the ADVC300) but they are not the only manufacturer of such devices. Would recommend a firewire, DV model as being the most reliable but some manufacturers USB models and some of those may export in MPEG-1/MPEG-2 formats which are not compatible with most common editors. On the other hand, if you also want to do TV captures and want a tuner built in, you may want to look at the EyeTV line of products. Suggest you do some research on the internet before making any final decision.

Recording analog directly into SoundTrack Pro.

A) Can I record from an analog device (i.e. cassette tape recorder, stereo amplfier, etc.) into Sound Track Pro on my MacBook Pro? B) Do I hook the analog device up to the the MacBook Pro via 1/8th-inch Miniplug and the audio line in port? C) If not, what should I do?

To display records fetched from the DB through ALBPM, in a custom JSP

I want to display the records fetched from the database through ALBPM in a custom JSP as a table.
Currently I am fetching the records and putting them in a BPM object group and sending it to the JSP as a BPM object. Now in the JSP I am trying to iterate and create a table to display the fetched data using the JSTL tag ==>
<c:forEach ...... >
</c:forEach>
But I am always getting the following error in ALBPM workspace:
The task could not be successfully executed. Reason: 'java.lang.RuntimeException: /webRoot/customJSP/CustomerSearch1.jsp(29,2) No such tag forEach var in the tag library imported with prefix c'
Though there is a tag forEach var in the JSTL?? How to solve this error or is there any altrnative way to display the records in a JSP ??
Thanks,
Suman.

Hello. I use custom JSP and it works well. You have to make sure 2 things:
a) You have imported the libs, including these lines in your JSP:
<%@ page session="true" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://fuego.com/jsp/ftl" prefix="f" %>
b) The variable you are using in the "forEach" statement is stored in the BPM object you pass to the JSP in the call.
Hope this helps.... Bye

Entry in ical like -1 effects double entries on other devices after sync through icloud

Entry in ical like -1 effects double entries on other devices after sync through icloud

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Xbox 360 Vga Kit Sound through Line-in not working.

So I spend time in windows from time to time, but for conveinence I would like to use my xbox 360 in both my Mac and Windows partitions. I have the Mac side of things working beautifully with a little program called Line-in. Under windows though, through all my searching and fiddling, I cannot get any sound to go along with my picture.
Sound is the only issue here, and I know it's not hardware related since it works in Mac OS X.
So far what I have tried-
--Making sure connections are nice and snug.
--Under audio properties in windows, making sure line-in audio is up.
--For the heck of it, trying it using mic settings with audio and Mic Boost on
--Looked for a program similiar to Line-in for Mac OS X, but could find nothing for windows.
I'm pretty stumped here. Now I'm at the point where I'm doubting a boot camp compatibility issue. I have a Core Duo from when the macbook pros came onto the market, the ones with the regrettably gimped video cards (Still mad apple underclocked the card without ever telling me). My audio is a sigmatel card. My drivers are up to date as far as I know. Any ideas what I can do to get some audio?
--Detail that may matter, I have sound coming out through a set of usb speakers. All of my other windows audio is fine.
QUICK UPDATE: I checked the sigmatel user panel, and it not only said that my line-in was ok, but that a device was connected. This only makes me wonder more, what detail I am missing here.

The OP reported their line-in input "broke" after upgrading to Leopard, however my MBP stopped recognising input from the mic on my headset a few weeks ago when I was still running Tiger. This might possibly indicate that the change in OS X's handling of the line-in input was present in a Tiger update, but I can't remember the exact correlation between the dates of my last update and this problem. All the same, I'm pretty annoyed that a headset that worked perfectly for several months is now suddenly unusable without a USB adapter.
Prior to stumbling across this thread, I visited two Apple stores, who both tested with an output from an iPod and told me that the input was working fine, leading me to buy a brand-new headset (even though I'd tested other working headsets without success) which, naturally, produced the same results.
Seems to me that the hardware is fully capable of processing a mic input through the line-in port, as it's never had any problems with any unpowered source until recently, so Apple must surely be able to undo the change they made?

Trouble activating Multisim component evaluator Analog Devices Edition Version

I downloaded Multisim component evaluator Analog Devices Edition Version
13.0.. I’m having the same problem that I had last time I downloaded something
from NI. (Unactivated license). I think this is because of the tight security
where I work. The solution last time (after a lot of time and back and forth
emailing was to send me the activation code and I typed it in manually. (I
pasted that email below).
Thanks,

Maxium calls on Analog devices CCM v.7

I know this is probably a silly question but I would like to verify. Devices such as ATAs and VG248s that converts calls to analog, I've notice have only maximum call of 2. Is there a way around this or another way I have analog maximum calls set to 4?

The help document for the directory number settings page says:
"The default specifies 4. If the phone does not allow multiple calls for each line, the default specifies 2."
Analog devices do not support multiple calls per line. There is no way around this limitation to my knowledge.
Hope this helps.

How to Add Analog Devices Components to MultiSim v.9

I was wondering if it is possible to add the new Analog Devices component libraries to MultiSim Version 9.1.221 by a drag and drop in windows, or possibly through an import function in MultiSim.
If one were to download the MultiSim Analog Devices version 10.x and already have a licensed professional version of MultiSim 9.1.221 is this possible?

Hi,
It is not possible to import components from a higher version of Multisim into a lower one. You can import older databases into newer version. Take a look at the tutorial below:
