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?
Thank you,

  • Can I record vocals directly into Logic Pro X with my Tascam DR 680?

    I'm connecting via the USB port on the Tascam. I opened up my "Devices" list under "Preferences" in Logic but it doesn't seem to be registering. I thought there might be a driver out there or some other way to make this work.
    If anybody has any suggestions I will be greatly in your debt.

    Hi Jos, you can't interface the Tascam DR 680 like that (USB) to the Mac I think. It's not an audio interface but a more ore less dedicated stand alone recording/playback  unit. You could try importing the audio data into Logic, but as far as direct recording via usb goes….. I don't think so.
    A rather clumsy way to achieve your objective, if you must, would be a signal flow like that:
    mic -> Tascam DR 680 -> Tascam OUT (digital/analog) -> audio interface / mac  (digital/analog) IN -> rec in Logic
    Have a nice day!

  • How to bring my valid iMovie into Soundtrack Pro as a multitrack?

    Hello kind people. My most hummed song right now is "I can't get started with you." To my shame, I am unable to bring my valid iMovie into Soundtrack Pro as a multitrack. I have brought the audio alone, but that leaves me grabbing at air. There must be a simple way. Who will tell me how?

    Try exporting a Quicktime movie from iMovie, then drag the quicktime movie onto the video track (or drop it into the video window) in Soundtrack Pro.

    I have created a live type motion menu and need to import it into Soundtrack Pro for precise audio scoring. Can I do this?

    not to familiar with this, but I believe you could open the sequence up in FCP and then send to soundtack.

  • Zoom H4n record direct onto Soundtrack Pro

    I'm trying to use a new Zoom H4n recording device as the mic to record onto soundtrack pro - simlple, stereo recording of my voice.
    I can't seem to get Soundtrack Pro to recognize my H4n. I tried it with usb audio i/f, and I've tried it with the 1/8" mic jacks.
    Can anyone give me a hand?
    thanks

  • Recording voice over to Soundtrack Pro

    I am trying to record some dialogue for a short film and am looking at the following hardware:
    Behringer Xenyx 1002B mixer (I need something with battery power for mobility)
    Behringer UCA222 USB audio interface
    I am using Soundtrack Pro 3.0.1
    Has anyone used this setup? Will STP detect and accept what the ACA222 spits out?
    Is there a cheaper option?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Maybe I didn't understand your question. Are you wanting to mix multiple mics down to one audio signal to record into STP on one track via the analogue audio input on your computer? If that's the case then any mixer should work. I use a USB XLR mic input to feed a mic straight into the USB input on my Macbook pro. I use it for both simple production recording and VoiceOver and ADR recording back at my studio. For multiple mics I believe I could plug in multiple USB adapters, but I will typically use my Edirol R4 for when things get more complicated or I need to be very mobile. If you're mixing more than two mics, then wouldn't any mixer work? If you're looking for a mixing control surface, then your options are limited to a handful of options. I use the Euphonix MC Mix. I'm looking for a box to input (not mix) maybe four mics (boom and three lavs) and feed them via USB or preferably Firewire into STP to record onto separate tracks. The reviews I've read are very mixed. If you or anyone else has a suggestion for this please post it.

  • Import 5.1 stems into Soundtrack Pro

    I have 50 pieces of audio that are all saved as 5.1 stems with appropriate file names (.L.wav, .R.wav, .C.wav, etc.). I need to import them as multichannel files, edit and export as 5.1 stems again.
    Editing and exporting are no problem. I can import my 5.1 stems into a new multichannel audio file, the probelm is, Soundtrack Pro automatically assigns them in the wrong order. They are importing in the order they are listed in the file broswer: C, L, Lf, Ls, R, Rs. Alphabetically ordered. They should be importing as L, R, C, Lf, Ls, Rs because in the Soundtrack Pro manual it states that the program 'uses the SMPTE/ITU standard for routing output channels.' This doesn't seem to be the case for importing however.
    Am I missing something here?
    This makes working in Soundtrack impossible. Not only are they assigned in the wrong order, but the original source name is gone in the new multichannel audio file. So, reordering the tracks in the multichannel file will inevitably result in mistakes as I will have to manually drag numbered channels into a new order for every one of these clips.
    Is there anyway to get Soundtrack Pro to import the stems in the correct order?

    hi
    there is a common misconception about mixing surround audio and playback of encoded surround audio files - check this recent thread - my post is the 4th reply in the thread ...

  • Does Audition 3 integrate directly into Premiere Pro CS3?

    On occasion I need to use a filter like De-Esser that is not in Soundbooth. Can I go directly from Premiere Pro CS3 to Audition 3 and back again like the previous versions?

    Hi Bill,
    If Audition is registered in Windows as the default application for WAV files, then using "Edit Original" from the Premiere Pro right-click menu will automatically open the file in Audition.
    There is also a thread at http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b59d8f/0 that documents a different method, however it is not something I've had a chance to try.

  • Capturing directly into Macbook Pro + tape

    Is there a way for me to record a live event on my Canon XHA1 (onto mini DV tape) while simultaneously pulling the footage into FCP7 on a Macbook? (using the laptop as a recorder)
    With Firestore devices still ridiculously expensive, I'm wondering if this is an option.

    Got this to work! *Here's how:*
    Connect the XHA1 camera to the Macbook Pro via Firewire (Fire 400 out of camera, into Firewire 800 on laptop -- using an adapter since the new Macbooks only have an 800 port).
    Turn on camera and open Final Cut Pro 7.
    *Final Cut Pro settings (under Audio/Video Settings):*
    Sequence Preset - HDV - 1080i60
    Capture Preset: HDV
    Device Control Preset: HDV Firewire
    Click Log & Capture.
    Start recording onto tape in the camera.
    Start Capture Now.
    You're now recording to both tape and the laptop simultaneously. If you stop the camera recording, the laptop will continue to capture without a glitch.
    BUT -- if you start the camera recording again (tape) while you're still capturing to computer, your captured file on the computer will have a glitch.
    So glad this works ...

  • Analog Audio into Macbook Pro Audio Port

    I'm trying to pass an analog audio music signal from an external recorder thru my mac pro.
    Preferences settings are:
    Input- audio port
    Output-internal speakers
    Signal is hitting the computer and registering on the input level indicator as being received but it is not being delivered by the internal speakers.
    The signal from the external recorder has been verified by myself via the use of a set of headphones.
    Apple Care expert technicians insist that a driver should be provided by the external device (which to me is rediculous) however I called them the device mfr.to check which resulted in nothing being available, as I expected.
    Is the mac manual correct that a line level mic. (which I interpret as being an alalog signal) should work with my Mac??

    I don't know what the Apple manual you're referring to says on the subject, but I doubt that LineIn is performing an analog-to-digital conversion, since the speakers need an analog signal.
    And I don't think LineIn provides any amplification, either. It just enables a software path from the audio input to the speakers that isn't there otherwise. If your speaker volume is acceptable, then the signal you're inputting is already preamplified (= line-level).
    But I'm no audio professional, and I could be wrong about any of this. All I really knew was that LineIn would serve your needs if your incoming signal was suitable, as it apparently was.

  • Importing a recorded Skype call into Premiere Pro & audio goes out of sync. PLEASE help!

    Every time I try and import a clip it gets out of sync, but if I open the file in quicktime its perfect???

    (Not sure why this response was originally rejected by the moderators, but am trying again.)
    A solution that worked for us:
    [EDIT] I do NOT work for any of the companies included in this solution, nor do I receive any kind of renumeration from them. I am recording the software and steps we used to overcome the problem of the original poster.[END EDIT]
    The Skype Call Recorder (Ecamm) has 4 built-in converter/splitter apps (you have to look in the "Movie Files" folder to find them). We used the apps to split the recorded Skype video calls into 2 separate "conversations" and then used a free online converter (http://www.online-convert.com/) to convert the conversations into MP4s. Once the MP4s were imported into Adobe Premiere the audio lined up perfectly with the video.
    Hope this helps somebody.

  • Record video directly into imovie with external microphone?

    Here's what I am trying to, and I am just wondering if it is possible.
    I like recording video covers/songs to put up on youtube.  i don't have a video camera that takes good video AND sound, and the video quality provided by recording in imovie through the isight is perfectly fine.  however, i would like better sound quality than i get with the internal microphone.
    i own an mx audio pro system which allows me to connect external microphones to my computer through usb for higher quality recording (i've used it for garageband). 
    my question is whether i can simultaneously use the isight and external microphone when recording in imovie, and how i would do that??
    thanks!

    Click System Preferences/Sound/Input and select your USB mic.
    I know this works for voiceovers, but it should work for iSight as well.

  • Can I play a podcast (in Safari) and record it directly into GB or iTunes?

    Have several podcasts which I'd like to burn cd's of and I don't know if this is possible. Need to know the settings in Garage Band to do this if possible. Then can I burn a cd from GB, or would I have to Share it to iTunes first, then burn the cd? My GB is 08. Thanks for any help. pdm

    Thanks HangTime. I didn't move the file from the web page into iTunes. I right clicked and downloaded it to the desktop. Then I dragged it from the desktop into Garage Band, made splits between the songs and the talking, deleted the talking and joined the songs. It worked fine. Thanks again. pdm

  • Getting Soundtrack Pro to record with M-Audio Firewire Solo?

    I'm having trouble trying to record 'live' into Soundtrack Pro. I've got a mic into analog mixer into M-Audio Firewire Solo audio interface into ibook set up.
    In STP, I can select firewire channels 1 to 2 (under "Recording" tab) for the input device but nothing is recording when I hit the record button. the mic>mixer bit is working fine. I'm quite certain the mixer>audio bit is working so I think its a problem with compatibility between the M-Audio Firewire Solo device and Soundtrack Pro software....although it shows up as an option in the select audio input/output settings in STP... I've also got the latest Tiger driver for the Firewire Solo device and the latest update for STP.
    I CAN record from the in-built mic on the ibook so that bit works...
    Currently, I've been recording individual tracks into Audacity then exporting them all as separate tracks into Soundtrack Pro for post production as AIFF files (drag and drop them into STP in the order I require). I'm doing this as a temporary measure until I can find out how to get M-Audio Firewire Solo talking to Soundtrack Pro.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Well, I got it working with Soundtrack Pro and Audio Hijack Pro in the end. It seems that only the front side of M-Audio FireWire Solo recording interface actually seems to work and only the right channel (mono). Its a little bit annoying but it works...not sure why the back ones did not work (s/pdif, balanced and unbalanced phone jacks plugs), perhaps its something to do with the fact that the front has gain level knobs and the back doesn't....hmm...maybe not enough power to drive the back connectors?
    Anyway, if any of you happen to use M-Audio FireWire audio interfaces (analog to digital converter) and you face a similar problem, then its probably going to be a similar thing...

  • Recording sound directly from a DVD into your computer

    Can you record sound directly into your computer from a DVD playing on your computer?

    Audio Hijack also creates large files, size-wise. This can be a problem if you are working with putting music on audio cds. Google "ripdifferent" for a site that discusses various methods of legally backing up legally purchased media. The gray area here actually has to do with breaking encryption- under US copyright law, users have always been allowed to make a single back-up (Fair Use) of any recorded media they have purchased. It is possible that media companies are, themselves, in violation of copyright law by making it difficult to make said backups by encrypting their media. Also, copying (ripping, recording, etc.) any DVD in any way would seem to be covered by the warning at the start of all DVDs (including soundtracks), which would include Audio Hijack, for instance. This all came about when the digital revolution made it possible to create exact copies. Back in the day, copying an LP to cassette, for instance, was not considered a problem, because you would lose a generation. BTW, ripping music DVDs can be problematic, as they are mastered differently than are "movies," and some Mac ripping programs have difficulty with them. Proceed cautiously and consider legal ramifications, but also consider retaining YOUR legal rights as well.
