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".

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?

Anyone know if there is an adapter to record audio from an outside source in real time to an iphone 4s or 5s video?

Hi @imobl,
You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
To respond to some of the points you made,
- I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
- you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
- all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add.

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

Satellite L50-A-19N can't play audio from multiple sources

I can't play audio from multiple sources. This is very annoying when I have 2 youtube videos playing, if I start playing something on the media player, there is no sound on media player, it's the same when I have 2 media players open and 1 youtube video playing, youtube video doesn't have sound..
It goes away when I plug out my headphones..

I don't know if this makes sense, but I got newer DTS sound driver which I found, It's not my laptop model, but they all seem to be the same - v1.1.88.0
I uninstalled DTS software and still had the same problem, so it's not affecting sound driver in any way..

2nd is my speakers advanced settings, nothing changed when I disabled "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"

I see that the option called “give exclusive mode applications priority” has been checked.
Usually different applications and programs can access the sound card simultaneously.
For example: you can hear the sound in game, while you can run your own music via an external player.
This is prevented with these options “give exclusive mode applications priority”.
Maybe you should disable (uncheck) this option to prevent the different applications for using this exclusive mode stream.
I did it for my DAC. I set the DAC for exclusive mode. Once my audio playback software starts to play music, no other software is able to share the DAC.
However, I use Win 7 and Realtek sound driver… It’s another configuration.
So it’s not known to me if your issue is related Win 8.1 system or maybe limitation of sound driver… it could be also possible that one of your sound applications don’t allow multiple sound streaming.

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.
Regards.

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?

How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?

How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?
They chapters are mp3 files. Changing the genre to "audiobook" or "audiobooks" does help.
I am sure this question will come up a lot, since the book in question is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," purchased from Pottermore.com.

The one thing I would add to the instructions above is that the "Media Kind" menu is on the "Option" pane in the "Get Info" Window. This procedure has allowed me not only to make imported audiobooks show up as audiobooks, but imported podcasts show up as podcasts.

Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.
