Recording audio from laptop with T420s and combo port

Hi All,
I sometimes need to run my companys application and record the spoken messages for demo's etc. Previously, I did this simply by playing the messages through the laptop speakers and at the same time using the Windows Sound Recorder to record it from the laptop microphone (I didn't even need to use external speakers or microphone).
Now, with the new T420s that I have, when I speak into the laptop microphone it records my voice fine but when I use an application to play messages through the laptop speakers, the recorder does not pick up an sounds......is this a result of this "combo" port........if so, is there any way round it ?

I meant what if you recorded just your voice, then added the audio from your demo after the fact?
The sound chip takes the microphone input, and subtracts the speakers sound. This is what is needed most of the time, but in your case, it seems to be the exact opposite. Not sure if this can be disabled in SmartAudio.
You'll probably need Virtual Audio Cable to record multiple streams.

  • How can collect the data from laptop sound card and serial port at the same time?

    I'm working on a project, I need to collect the data from laptop sound card, and also from serial port at the same time.
    The attachments are my VIs for sound card and serial port communication, I'm wondering that can I combine these two VIs together? Or can I run these two VI at the same time?
    Thank you!

    A smarter way is just to put all your code in the same VI.
    Two parallel loops if rates are different.

  • Flash Player 10 is not playing audio from Youtube with Vista and IE

    Since installing FP10, I cannot get audio when playing YouTube video. I'm running Vista with SP2 and IE on an HP laptop. Flash 0 on my XP desktop plays audio fine, so I'm guessing its a setting on my laptop which needs changing back to what it was before the upgrade to FP10...any ideas please? I have uninstalled and the reinstalled FP10 as per other posts on this forum, but no success.

    I too am experiencing this
    [edit]
    My problem was that I was not getting flash audio at all, including local publishes out of the IDE.  The problem was that my Windows Audio service had stopped (for some reason).
    To check :
    (classic view) :: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services >
    (non-classic) :: Computer (right click)  > Manage > Services and Applications > services >
    (one of the above, then) :: [scroll down to 'Windows Audio'] > r-click 'properties', general tab, set the start-up type to manual (in the dropdown), and click the start button on the next line.

  • 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?

    All the info you do with your image files is stored in the Lightroom Catalog file. The Catalog file cannot be located on a network it must have a physical connection to the computer.
    While the Catalog is in use a LOCK file will be temporarily placed alongside which prevents its use by any other 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.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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".

  • Where did the "record audio from speakerphone" option go in Connect 8??

    When I went to start a recording today in Connect 8, I noticed that the "record audio  from speakerphone" option is missing on the pop-up where you enter your  recording name and description.  Where did this option go?  This is how  we record all of our meetings where we do not have integrated audio  (usually due to using an operator assisted line.)  I did double-check my flash settings and made sure the meeting had access to the microphone.

    Connect 8 records all audio from the Phone if that was used, or VOIP or via Universal Voice. It picks up all audio in the meeting.
    If you have associated a universal voice audio profile with the meeting, choose Audio > Join Audio Conference.
    Choose Meeting > Record Meeting.
    In the Record Meeting dialog box, enter a name and summary for the meeting recording.
    A recording icon (red circle) appears in the menu bar to indicate that the meeting is being recorded.

  • 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

  • Problem recording audio from sampler...

    Problem recording audio from sampler (MPC 1000) to Logic using midi trigger thru Lexicon Omega box.
    When I hit the record button in Logic, it triggers my mpc to start playing. Logic then picks up the incoming audio signal on the appropriate track and starts recording the audio... PROBLEM- Logic appears to keep restarting the incoming audio, repeating the first 1/4 of the first 1Bar. So every time I hear the metronome tempo counter as it records, the incoming audio replays from the beginning and this is what gets recorded. On the contrary when I'm controlling the sampler via midi and just hit the play button in Logic, the audio signal comes threw and plays the full 4 bars of the audio that I want recorded.
    Any idea on how I can fix this? It seems like it has to do with my metronome counter or midi time code?
    Thanks to all that help!

    Thanks, good suggestion but these are music instruction dvds that aren't copyrighted.
    cheers

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

    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.

  • Simultaneous audio from outputs 1-2 and outputs 3-4?

    Hi guys,
    How do I get simultaneous audio from outputs 1-2 and outputs 3-4? I'm running Logicpro 7.1 through an M-Audio FW 410 hardware interface.
    I'm trying to set things up so I can monitor through my mixing board to eleminate the weird echo sound you get in your headphones when recording.
    I thought I could do it in logic by creating an ouput 1-2 and output 3-4 channel strip where ouput 3-4 will have the "i/o" plugin and in the plugin settings, Out would be set to 3-4 and input set to 1-2, this way sound will always come out of output 1-2 which will go to my speakers and output 3-4 to my mixing board. Please help!

    I'm trying to set things up so I can monitor through my mixing board to eleminate the weird echo sound you get in your headphones when recording.
    The 'weird echo sound' is because you are hearing Logic's software monitoring alongside direct monitoring of the inputs (either via the interface, or your mixer, depending where the headphones are plugged in.)
    You can avoid this by setting the monitoring level on the record-enabled track to zero. (recording tracks have two level settings. Normal playback and record input monitoring. See page 282 in the Logic Pro reference manual.) It will not affect your record levels, or your input metering.
