Recording audio in from 2 turntables and a mixer

Does anyone know the most economical and efficient way to record in to a 13" MacBook Pro using a setup with 2 turntables and a mixer? Is it possible to get good sound using the headphone jack as a line in, or do I need a sound card? Can I just use a 3.5mm to rca jack and something like Audacity? Thanks.

The method you described should work just fine if you take the output from the mixer and route it to the line in on the Mac. You can even use Garageband if you want to.

  • Is it possible to record audio/ vedio from applet and store it on server

    Pls tell me if it is possible to record audio/ vedio from applet and store it on server. I am using JMF. i am able to store audio on the same machine by making a java application but i am not able to understand how to use RTP with it to store it on server from an applet. pls help me i am in urgent need.

    If u want to capture audio/video from the client machine these are the pre-requisites
    1. u need to have JMF installed on the client :(
    one way out of this is that u bundle the library files along ur applet to the client. I am still to figure out how
    to fo that.
    2. while installation uncheck the option 'copy DLLs to system folder....' and check the option 'Allow capture
    from applets.
    3. The Applets u create must be signed, for accessing the client resources such as hard drive.
    You can then capture n save file on the client, open an inout stream out of it, open an outputstream to the server as already described above and start uploading......

    This is OK because the Conexant sound chip does not support other sources
    Ive got a unit with Realtek sound chips and with Conexant sound chip.
    The Realtek support the recording from other sources but Conexant doesnt.

  • How can I copy an audio effect from a clip and paste it to another clip in the same timiline...With FCPro 7 it was all so fast........

    The advantage goes to FCP7 if you allow that it can copy and paste filters, audio and video, transformations, and other attributes separately.
    You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
    Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
    I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

  • How do I seperate the audio track from the video and save it to a CD in Premiere Elements 13?

    How do I seperate the audio track from the video and save it to a CD in Premiere Elements 13?

    Binbashi
    You can separate the audio track from video and save it to a DVD disc within Premiere Elements but not a CD disc.
    To do save to the audio to DVD disc, you do not have to separate linked audio video, just use the export Publish+Share/Computer/Audio and set Presets to the wanted format (AAC, AIFF, MP3, or Windows Waveform (WAV).
    You will not see Audio in the choices since it is at the bottom of the list of choices under Publish+Share/Computer/. You will need to use the thin scroll bar to the right of the choices to scroll to it.
    If you need information on selective export of Timeline content when dealing with more than just this one file on the Timeline, please let us know. If you are trying to produce a CD for listening in car or CD player elsewhere, please let us know.
    Looking forward to learning of your results.
    Thank you.

    I have just bought apple tv which allows me to play music through airport express but when  chose to watch a movie the audio comes from the tv and does not give option listen through other speakers served through airport express. Can you help me ?

    No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
    You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

  • I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring why can't I find the audio books on my ipod?

    I downloaded audio books from overdrive media and my ipod nano 6th generation showed it was transferring and now I can't find it on my Ipod where would it be?

    The problem may have been in how you transfered it.  You didn't go into much detail.  Just be sure to follow the steps in the tutorial below.  Note Paragraph 5.
    Many libraries worldwide now use Overdrive Media Console, which comes in Mac an Windows versions http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc .  Some find the mobile device transfer process confusing.  To load or delete a WMA or MP3 (Macs can only download MP3 books) audiobook onto an Apple mobile device see the "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" video in the guides at Step 7, then do the following.
    1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
    2.  Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
    3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab. If the mobile device storage is full, transfering will delete that portion of music necessary for the ebook.
    4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button.   A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
    5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection.  Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
    6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.  For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
    7. The Overdrive Media Console Guided Tour (videos) is at http://www.overdrive.com/Solutions/Libraries/tour/MenuWelcome.html .  The "Portable Devices" and "How to Transfer to a Portable Device" videos are there.
    8. To find a nearby library for ebooks search http://search.overdrive.com .  You can download the software, search for books and see tutorials without an account at the website of any library that uses Overdrive, however, you need a library card to download books.  At this library site, for example, the software and guided tour are at the bottom of the left hand menu.

  • Purchased an audio book from I Tunes and want to download/sync with my I Phone 5...how do it do it?

    I purchased an audio book from I tunes and it is in my recent purchases on my Mac Book Pro and I would like to download it to my I Phone 5. How do i do it?

    Hello there Michael,
    It sounds like you have audiobooks on your computer you want to sync to your iPhone 5. You can do this in the Books tab in iTunes when you have your iPhone connected:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Add iBooks and audiobooks to iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Sync iBooks or audiobooks to your device
    Connect your device to your computer and select your device in iTunes. 
    Click the Books button.
    Do either or both of the following:
    Sync iBooks: Select Sync Books, then click “All books,” or click “Selected books” and select the iBooks you want to add. 
    Sync audiobooks: Select Sync Audiobooks, then click “All audiobooks,” or click “Selected audiobooks” and select the audiobooks you want to add. 
    Click Apply.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Recording audio ONLY from a DVD into iTunes

    Hi, I'm new to macs having just got an iMac G5. So far I love it and it's loads better than any windows based system I've had. I'm wondering if it is possible to record the audio only from some music DVD's I have into iTunes...can anyone help or is this simply not possible?

    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.

  • Recording Audio Voice from Software App-All Static

    I am attempting to record an audio software application for disabled persons, called Jaws, and all I get the audio faintly in the background and the rest is loud static. Tried recording from laptop with mic and w/o and same results. Using 5.5.  Any thoughts? :-{

    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.

  • 2009 Mac Pro no audio out from Line Out and/or Digital Out.

    Hey guys, I recently bought a new tv which has an optical input and thought I'd buy an optical cable to connect it to my Mac Pro's (4.1 model 2009 I believe) digital out port which I have never used before .
    The issue I'm facing since is that I can't get out from my mac pro to my tv. I also bought a cable to direct sound from my mac pro's line out, to my tv's red/white stero audio ports.That didn't work either.
    When I select Digital out as the default audio output in Sound preferences the OS says that there are not default audio controls for that device and the sound icon in the menu bar is greyed out while when I switch to line out output I can control volume but no audio is coming from my TV.
    I've been searching on forums and didn't find any relevant answer so if someone knows what may cause this that'd be really helpful.
    *ALSO: I've got windows 8 instaleld on my mac pro as well. The digital out doesn't work there as well although the line out does send sound to the TV.
    ** I also have soundflower installed and perian although I don't think any of them would mess things up like that.
    Do you think this is a problem with my Mac or is this a common Mavericks issue (sorry forgot to mention I'm on 10.9.2)
    Many Thanks,
    Thanos.

    When I select Digital out as the default audio output in Sound preferences the OS says that there are not default audio controls for that device and the sound icon in the menu bar is greyed out
    That's normal.  Is the correct audio input selected on the TV?

  • How to read an audio file from the disk and play it?

    Do you know who to read an audio file from the hard disk and play it. It's for an application and not an applet. I tried with the Applet.newAudioClip(URL url) thing, but I keep getting a MalformedURLException.
    And is there a way to get the path of the file you are using? Currently I'm doing this:
    File file = new file("randomname");
    string = file.getAbsolutePath();
    file.delete();
    I'm sure there's a better way. And this is not for an applet, just a normal app.
