Recording audio from another application

My kids use a program called Smart Music which plays the accompianment parts for them. Is there any way to record the audio that that 3rd party software application in Garage Band?

take a look at audio hijack, or wiretap. either will record from any app

Recording audio from another source

I have several minidiscs with files that I would like to record into Garage
Band (in real time). I thought I could accomplish this by simply connecting the MD to my MacBook using an analog mini plug.
I've tried to do this, and have come up empty. And yes, the sound recorder is set to input in the preferences section. Am I missing a step? Or is it impossible
to record outside sources into Garage Band in real time?

Hi dvl
Hope this helps Open up your system preferences and select your method of input and output. Probably headphones out for your output and external microphone/line in for your input. I am assuming that you are using your macs built in sound options. Go to applications folder and open up your utilities folder and open up the app Audio/Midi. Make sure that you are using Built-in Audio for your input and output. Open up GB, click on Garageband and go to the preferences menu. Make sure that it says under the Audio/Midi menu Built-in Audio for the input and output. Create a real track in GB, basic track and you should be good to go.

Recording Audio from additional sources: Why doesn't the "Audio File" show

Hi, when recording audio from another source and saving: where does logic store the file? Shouldn't it be in the "audio' folder or the set path you set it to>?
For some reason after we record the "Audio File" we recorded is not to be found in the "Audio" folder we created within our project?
clues?

Can you define "from another source". I'll assume for now, you mean, from an external live source, like a vocal, or guitar.
Yes, if you had saved the song using the "Save As Project" command, the audio path to that songs audio folder should have been set. and all audio files recorded into that song would reside in that location.
The only thing that you might want to check, is hit "A" with the song open, and make sure "choose path" is set to "Song Recording Path" and not "Global Recording Path".

No Audio From Any Application Unless PP Is The Active Application

Weird issue I have never seen before. If Premier Pro is running and you are attempting to play audio from another application, that audio output will cut out unless PP is the currently selected active application.
EX: Trying to play a song in iTunes or streaming a video from Youtube while Premier Pro is running will result in no audio until you switch back over to using PP then the other application's sound will start playing.
Additional info: Blackmagic drivers are installed on this machine. We've tried multiple settings for audio within PP but none have resolved this issue.
Hopefully someone has an idea of what is going on here. Starting to drive us crazy.

Not on my machine. I can have both PPro and Audition open on my PC with audition active. I have also had PPro and the Smartsound app running with smartsound active without problems.
You may have a driver problem.

How can I send audio from an application to the HDMI port on my Mac Mini while also sending the audio to another application?

I am trying to use VLC (or any streaming audio player) and listen to a web radio station while at the same time using Audacity to monitor the CODEC's digital level. I want to make a digital measurement of the level that the streaming radio station is using on the air. I can calibrate the levels for maxbit by overdriving my web stations encoder and watching for clipping distortion on the decode on Audacity (waveform view). I then calibrate the clipped value to the 0dB peak on Audacity's meters or waveform view. I also am trying to calibrate and use the free Orban Loudness meter. I require something like Soundflower (as others have indicated) but I find that sound flower is very unstable (or maybe mis-configured on my machine with Lion). I think there is a clock drift issue since Soundflower works well for some number of minutes and then distortion appears in one of the outputs (either the HDMI or the feed to Audacity/Orban Loudness Meter). I would have thought this was easy on a Mac, but as it turns out it is not. Am I missing something here and there is a way to send audio from one application to my HDMI output and another application?

Thanks Rudegar for the response. I was already afraid that Apple TV won't be of any help.
Is there no solution for getting an audio-stream into the "airplay-system", e.g. by using another apple device?

Recording audio from device on server

I have some really nice audio recording gear hooked up to my computer, and I got a neat idea. I want to turn my PC into a web server and serve a flash application from it that allows a user to record audio from MY hardware (basically record the output of a mic hooked up to the "server") and then download the resulting audio file to his or her computer. Is this possible to do using a single flash application? I'm sure I could send commands to a C application on the "server" that would do the recording, but I'm wondering if there is a more simple solution. Also, monitoring the audio while it is being recorded would be nice.
Thanks

The issue I see with iTalk and similar iPod apps is that the iPod has no line-level input, so you'd have to use one of the earbud/microphone combinations or an external microphone like this one which will be limited as to quality. There are some other options here. But if you want pro quality, and particularly want to tap straight off of a mixing console, a device like the Alesis is going to be necessary, though there may be something less expensive that I can't find.
If a microphone works for you, then iTalk might be fine. There's a freeware version of iTalk, iTalk Lite, you can try, to see if it will do the job. It doesn't have the advanced playback controls and has a limit of 2MB per recording, but it should allow you to test it out. Voxie is another possibility.

Recording audio from a Channel Send

I've done this before, but I can't seem to do it again.
I am trying to record audio from one channel (which is using an audio instrument) to another channel (an audio channel) using an audio send. I am not having a problem setting up the send. I am able to hear the audio correctly and independently on both channels. The problem occurs when I try to record the audio, because there is no "record" button on the channel header for me to arm the track. The track is set up as a "record-enabled" track, but in the space where the other tracks have the record button, there is just a empty space on this tracks header. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Well,
I seem to have found the problem. It appears that "audio tracks" will not allow you to arm them for recording unless there is a possible real audio input device connected to the computer. I plugged in my Snoball mic, allowed Logic to set it up as a device, and the record button magically appeared in the track header.
Hope this helps anyone else who is having a similar issue.

Recording Audio From A Sound Board

I was originally planning on buying a Samson Zoom H2, H4N, or ProTrack Stereo Recorder to begin recording audio at concerts I attend using the house sound board, but began wondering if the iPod Touch had the same capability, perhaps by adding an app of some kind. It would also be useful to record audio from weddings I videotape. I know there are voice recorders such as the Belkin that you can attach, but I was thinking more of connecting the iPod directly, by using a 1/4" to mini cable adapter. Is this possible? If so, what app would enable me to do this?

Best way To get data from another application using NDDE lbrary

My vb.net application gets data from another application using NDDE Library. I got stocks prices (open,high,low,close,volume,change......(about 15 records for each stock)) (about 200 stocks) . I don't know if there is a problem in my code.
This is my code:
l : is the list of stocks.
This Sub connects to server and requests the data :
Public Shared Sub GetQuotes()
Try
client1 = New DdeClient(server, topic)
client1.Connect()
For i As Integer = 0 To l.Count - 1
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$last", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$open", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$high", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$low", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$pclose", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$volume", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$date", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$time", 1, True, 60000)
Next
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
and then I get the data from Client_advise sub (called each time a value changed )and fill the list. What I know is that client advise gets only one record for single stock each time is called..
Example: for stock AAPL. 1st time enters client_Advise I get open price for AAPL, 2nd time I get high price for AAPL,3rd time I get low price..... and I update the value in the List (l)
This the client_Advise Sub:
Private Shared Sub client1_Advise(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As NDde.Client.DdeAdviseEventArgs) Handles client1.Advise
For q As Integer = 0 To l.Count - 1
If l(q).t = w(1) Then
Dim item() As String = e.Item.Split("$")
If l(q).Open = "#" Then
l(q).Open = "0"
End If
If l(q).hi = "#" Then
l(q).hi = "0"
End If
If l(q).lo = "#" Then
l(q).lo = "0"
End If
If l(q).Close = "" Or l(q).Close = "#" Then
l(q).Close = "0"
End If
If l(q).pclose = "#" Then
l(q).pclose = "0"
End If
If item(1) = "open" Then
l(q).Open = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
ElseIf item(1) = "last" Then
l(q).Close = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
ElseIf item(1) = "high" Then
l(q).hi = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
ElseIf item(1) = "volume" Then
l(q).Volume = Val(e.Text)
ElseIf item(1) = "low" Then
l(q).lo = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
ElseIf item(1) = "pclose" Then
l(q).pclose = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
If l(q).pclose <> "" And l(q).pclose <> "#" And l(q).Close <> "" And l(q).Close <> "#" Then
l(q).c = Format(l(q).Close - l(q).pclose, "0.00")
l(q).cp = Format(((l(q).Close - l(q).pclose) / l(q).pclose) * 100, "0.00")
End If
l(q).flag1 = 2
ElseIf item(1) = "date" Then
l(q).Date1 = e.Text
ElseIf item(1) = "time" Then
l(q).Time = e.Text
End If
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub
Am I doing something wrong which inreases CPU usage to 80 or 90 % ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi MikeHammadi,
According to your description, you'd like to get data from another app using NDDE library.
When using the NDDE library, the CPU usage is high. As the NDDE library is third-party library, it is not supported here. I suggest you checking if the problem is caused by the NDDE library.
If you'd like to get data from another app. I suggest you could save the data in the dataBase, and then read it in another application if necessary.
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Can i use REALTIME EQUALIZER of AUDIGY from another application? API of AUDIGY?? H

Hi to all,?Can i use EQUALIZER of AUDIGY from another application? need SDK? Help me?For example, VIDEOLAN hasn't a REALTIME EQUALIZER.... i want REALTIME EQUALIZER under VIDEOLAN or other application... can i use API of SOUNDBLASTER AUDIGY from another application and how?

? Isn't the Audigy EQ working 'globally' (meaning, if it's enabled then it effects on all audio outputted through Audigy)?
If you mean programming those API calls into your own software then you'll propably need to dig those functions by 'disassembling' the EQ code (it's maybe not very easy...).

Record audio from .exe file

Hi we had created an entire project of 2.5 hours of around 140 slides using Adobe Captivate 6. We had put the slide notes as text and published an .exe file and shared the same with the client.
However, now we have lost the source captivate .cptx file and have to redo the project from scratch. We have the powerpoint presentation for each slide so putting the objects as per the .exe is not an issue.
We figured the easiest way to have the audio is to record directly from the .exe and then put the audio files in captivate, rather than putting slide notes and repeating the entire process.
Is there a way to directly record audio from the .exe file? This will reduce our effort with respect to the pronunciation of words.

Double-click your .exe file and let it run, do not close. If you're on Windows 7 go to
C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Local\Temp\
and look for a folder like CPE7770.tmp. You can use the date and time stamp to locate this folder.
Your swf file will be there.
If on another Windows OS, the path should be similar.
You can also use software like Audacity or Audition to record audio from your computer. Set up will depend on your system config.
Cheers,
Seth

Safari problem: when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows. What's going on? Just started yesterday. I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success. What's going on and how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Cindi B
PS: I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
As for which OS X is installed.
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.
v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion v10.8 Mountain Lion
It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.
