Recording audio from firewire video source

What does it take for Soundbooth (or more specifically OS X) to recognize firewire video as an audio source?
I have a video conversion box that accepts analog video/audio input and connects via firewire to my MacBookPro. I can use that to capture video with Premiere or OnLocation, and extract the audio from that, but in the event I'm just converting an audio source, I'd like to use the same box to capture audio directly to Soundbooth. But 'Audio MIDI Setup' shows only built-in input and a USB audio source.
Otherwise I either have to use built-in audio input (normally not available because I have external speakers plugged in), or get a USB or firewire audio interface. I'll probably do that eventually but was hoping for a software solution of some sort.

You should look into WireTap Studio from Ambrosia software. It will record ANYTHING at all that goes through your sound card, regardless of the original source. I know, "If I paid for SoundBooth, why should I go buy another piece of software?"
I've used Wiretap since 2002 when it was still a freebie. It's gotten a lot better in eight years, and when you see everything you can do with it (like recoding streaming audio from the web, or podcasts, getting soundbytes from DVDs, or recording from your TV or even live with a mic) you'll agree that it's another $69, but $69 well spent.
I used Wiretap to convert more than 1400 cassettes into mp3. I've also pulled songs from movies that are unavailable anywhere. I've recorded live TV audio. You have a multitude of format and quality choices for recording and saving.

    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.

  • Recording Audio from DVD Video

    Hi,
    I have a music concert video on DVD. I would like to record a song off the video so that I can learn to play the guitar part. Is there any software out there that will separate the audio from the video, or in other words, capture the audio and maybe convert it to mp3 format so that I can play it in iTunes without playing the video?
    Sincerely,
    Jim

    Audio Hijack will let you capture audio from any running Mac Os X application.

  • Recording audio from Flash video

    I'm not sure if this is in the correct section, but . . .
    I would like to know how to record only the audio from Flash video. Specifically, there's a website my daughter loves which has Flash movies showing little animations with children's songs. I'd like to be able to get just the audio from those songs onto my MacBook so we don't have to go online to listen to them every time.
    Thanks.

  • Recording Audio from an external source?

    I was wondering if it was possible to hook up a cassette player to my G5 and be able to play old tapes and record them in Soundtrack pro then send them over to itunes. The ultimate goal is to get the songs from those cassettes onto an iPod. Someone mentioned software called Audacity but I was wondering if it could be done with STP.

    Yeah sure you can use STP to record them, edit, and save to a file that you can import into iTunes.
    You just need a way to connect your cassette player to your computer - an interface is usually recommended (the audio inputs on a computer are often problematic). The interface can be as minimal as a Griffin iMic.

  • Beatmapping Audio from a Video Source?

    I may be in the wrong forum for this question.
    I'm wanting to beatmap a video of a band playing in the studio as to detirmine the BPM and downbeat so that I can create a video remix with new audio incorporated into it.
    I have the option of manually splicing to make this work, yet I was wondering if there was another option for doing this type of sync work?
    In other words I want to remix this song which I would know how to do if it were just an audio source, yet it's video - so I'm not sure what to do. I want the final product to be a video.
    As of now I have iMovie, Logic, Garageband and Reason.
    I have no idea where to start and was hoping to get some direction here.
    Thanks

    Software like AE would let you turn the audio into keyframes, leading to a plethora of things you could do.
    But, with what you have, have you considered using a MIDI device? Get a small MIDI keyboard (or any simpler MIDI device) and beatmap using that as reference.

  • Recording audio from a digital source on sound blaster M

    This is my setup: DVD player > optical cable > optical-in on Sound Blaster MP3+
    I'm trying to record the STEREO (not 5. or DTS) audio off a DVD I have, but it won't record or playback anything on either the SPDIF input or Wave/MIDI/CD input when selected. Everything else works fine (analog, line-in, etc.). Another thing I noticed is that all of the inputs seem to be connected to my built-in regular laptop microphone. When I press record in any .wav recording program, I can hear my voice/other background noise.

    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 Video Tape

    Hi! I want to record audio from a video tape and put the audio into my imovie. I have done this funtion before, but I can't seem to remember how! I am able to play the movie (the video tape) in a VCR which then goes through my "bridge" (DV Converter) and into the computer. When I open imovie and import the video and audio into a "clip", I can't seem to play the clip and record the "audio" in the audio section. Again, I have done this before, I just don't remember how. Can anyone help??

    Hi Kim - welcome to the forum!
    You would simply extract the audio from the clip - select it, then go Advanced>Extract Audio (Command J). This will place the audio in the top audio track. Then you can delete the clip, and move the extracted audio to wherever you want it.
    Does that help?

  • 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".

  • Can you record the audio from a Video embedded in a pdf?

    I can't seem to find anything on this, so I will ask. A client sent us a company produced interactive pdf and wants us to use the audio from a video clip that is in the pdf. We asked for the audio clip but they don't know who to get it from and just keep saying it is in the pdf. While others try to explain that a pdf and an mp3 are not the same thing. I get to look into a fall back position of trying to extract the audio (or video). There is no copyright issue here. Client peon just can't/won't get the proper file.
    Maybe some one can help or point me to info that says it is not possible.
    Thanks.

    WireTap Studio did the trick. I downloaded a free Trial version and bob's yer uncle.

  • Adobe Audition 3.0 and Pinnacle 700 USB - How to record audio from VHS tapes???

    Hi Friends,
    I am new to Adobe Audition 3.0. I need your help.
    Actually I am having a old Pinnacle 700 USB capture card. I want to record some audio in my computer by Adobe Audition.
    I downloaded and installed required driver for Pinnacle 700 USB (for Vista).
    But when I tried to capture audio from my VHS tapes, It not showing proper options. I don't know how to proceed further.
    Could any one please help me... Please let me know what all I need to do.
    Waiting for your helpful suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Yash

    The Pinnacle is a video capture device and as such captures the video and audio into one MPEG or DV stream. Audition can't see it as an audio card and therefore can't capture audio directly from your video source. However once you have captured a video file using the Pinnacle you can probably get to the audio by using the Open Audio from Video command in the File menu in Audition.

  • How do I record audio from the internet in AA CS6?

    When I used AA 2.0 and 5.5... I was always able start recording a wave file... minimize AA and roll a song or interview on the internet and record it.
    Now that I've upgraded to AA CS6 I haven't been able to do that.
    I've intalled the latest ASIO driver for my Presonus Firebox sound card and can record from all other sources,.. turntable, cassette deck (don't laugh)... midi... etc.
    I've double and quadruple checked my hardware and channel routing settings and all seem to be correct.  Even tried a new fireware cable.  So it just seems that even though I can hear mp3s and wavs coming from my PC through the sound card fine... the audio just isn't getting to Audition.  When I monitor the input all I get is the noise floor reading.
    I have a Gigabyte mother board with onboard Realtek HD audio... which is disabled... don't even think the drivers are installed for that.  Could that be the problem.  I have always been under the impression that on board audio should be disabled when your using an external ASIO sound card.  One other thing I noticed is that when I go into control panel and open "sounds and audio devices"... all the ins and outs there match the settings in CS6 but on the first tab for "volume" the device volume slider is greyed out.
    If any of this raises a red flag that I'm missing... please let me know what you think.  I'd be indeed grateful
    Thanks

    Morning Bob.. thanks for your quick reply...
    Sorry I didn't provide a profile of my set-up/signal chain
    Actually I'm still one of the hold-outs... OS is still Win XP Pro service pack 3.  I tied what you advised regarding "hidden devices" in sounds and device controllers but in XP there does not seem to be anywhere to right click to bring up the list of hidden devices.
    As I mentioned my sound card is an external Presonus Firebox which is firewired to a firewire card in the tower... the Gigabyte mobo has onboard Realtek HD audio which is disabled.
    I use the rear inputs and outputs of the Firebox and control audio levels with a Mackie 802 mixer.  The only thing in my setup that changed was upgrading to CS6.
    By the way, the recording problem goes beyond the internet.  I used to be able to playback saved mp3s in realplayer, mediaplayer, etc and record them in 2.0 and 5.5.  Most of those files were recorded as wav and converted to mp3 pro.  I realize that CS6 does not support mp3 pro.. but even when I convert those files to mp3 I have the same problem on play back that AA CS6 doesn't get a level.  But again, AA can receive audio from any other source I use.
    Wondering if I should try reinstalling and enabling the Realtek HD audio drivers and seeing if that makes a difference.  My uneducated guess is that will create a device conflict blocking AA from accessing the Firebox until Realtek is done.
    Would appreciate your thoughts
    Many thanks

  • Recording audio from a soundboard

    Hello fellow iMac'ers, got a brand iMac with OSX Mavericks. I'm trying to set it up to record sound from a Peavey XR1212. I'm a PC guy, so I'm used to using Audacity to do the same procedure, so I downloaded it and tried to get it to work.  The soundboard has an "mp3 in" line as well as an RCA out jack.  The iMac does not have a mic in line, only a headphone port.  I called Apple Support and the representative informed me that the headphone port on the Mac is smart enough to determine whether I would be using it for headphones of a mic in line, so I should put the mic in line there.  So my set up was running an RCA jack (red and white connected to soundboard) with a headphone jack on the other end into the headphone port on the Mac.  When I began recording on the through Audacity, the program did not show me the soundboard or the RCA jack as one of the available options to choose to record sound from, it defaulted to the internal mic on the Mac as the only option.
    I did not try going from the "mp3 in" line from the soundboard (which btw is a headphone port as well) to the headphone port on the back of the Mac.  I use an auxiliary cord to play music from the Mac through the soundboard with these headphone ports, but it just didn't seem obvious to me that this set up could be used for recording.
    While I was downloading Audacity, the Mac was updating garageband, which I have little to no familiarity with.  I have done some research and found out that I could potentially use this to record from my soundboard as well.  So finally here is my questions:
    1) The back of the iMac has 4 USB ports, 1 FireWire port, 1 headphone port and 1 ethernet port.  Since there is no "mic-in" port, what port can I use to record audio from the soundboard in audacity or garageband?
    2) If I go from the soundboard with an RCA into the headphone port on the Mac, can I use garageband to record?

    Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.

  • 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
