Recording audio on the ibook G4

What mic and software would you reccommend? Obviously using the internal mic to record long church services would not do the job. I do have an iMic, but it lacks a mic.
Thanks,
John

With an iMic you can use a Sony midi disc mic:
Sony ECM-MS907 ($80)
Logitech makes a USB mic:

Anything more than this, and you have to purchase an external soundcard interface, and microphones (gets expensive fast).

  • In FCP.  Trying to record voiceover.  Go to Window, Record Audio, see the record window and FCP quits in about 2 seconds.

    Trying to record audio voiceover.  Go to Window, Select Record Audio, see the record window and FCP quits in about 2 seconds.  Can't get started??

    I think you've got the right driver selected, otherwise it wouln't work at all. The single most obvious thing to ask you though (I'm sorry if this is too basic) is where you have the pan controls set to? To get each mic to record on a single channel, you'd have to have one panned hard left and the other panned hard right. If you leave them both panned dead centre, that's exactly what you get - both mics on both channels.

  • I have a scarlett solo  usb mic interface that only records audio to the left channel in quicktime.

    When I record a movie using my web cam in conjuction with my scarlett solo usb mic interface it only records audio to the left channel. I have tried everything and looked everywhere! Any help would be appreciated.

    Maybe:
    Quicktime Input is always mono?
    how can I make a stereo recording in QuickTime?

  • Recorded audio in the wrong folder

    I recorded my audio in the wrong folder (they are not in the project folder). I copied them over to my project folder but can't figure out how to link my song file/audio regions to the new location. I tried to set this in the Audio Window by resetting "Set Audio Record Path" but it wants me to give it a new file name (creating a whole new document?)
    Can someone help me work this out?

    Brian:
    Try putting the files back in their original folder location, open up the project, and then use the Project -> Consolidate menu option. If I recall correctly it will move everything into a new specified folder (or an existing folder) and re-reference the paths for you.

  • Recording audio from the web without recording sound from the internal microphone...

    Is there a way to record audio sound sources, for example a webcast in a browser, without without also recording sound thru the built in internal microphone on the MacPro laptop running Mountain Lion?

    You need something along the lines of Audio Hijack Pro or WireTap Studio.  The latter is currently broken in Lion and Mountain Lion for your purposes, so that leaves Audio Hijack Pro.  Neither is free, but both are worth their asking price (well, WireTap Studio will be once they deign to repair it).
    HTH.

  • Recording audio with the macbook

    HOWDY HO EVERBODY!!!
    is there anybody out there who is using their macbook to record audio?i'd really like to know the results/problems.for those of you out there who do use computer based audio recording software,and r using pro tools in particular,pt version 7.1.1 was released yesterday!
    (you can download it at the 'compatibility' section of the digidesign user conference/duc).this update is for the new intel core duo processers,making pro tools compatible with all iMacs,mac minis and macbook pros.it says in the digidesign website that macbooks are not yet qualified for the software update,but there r a few ppl on the duc that hav already tried the software on their macbooks.i just ordered my macbook last week (1.83)and i can't wait!!

    I use garage band from iLife '05 side by side with ProTools mBox 6.4 on my eMac and stuck there because I have to pay extra for upgrade to 6.7. So I wait until I really need newer Protools for my Black Mac Book, and if I need it I might go with mBox 2.
    I just got my Mac Book yesterday so I haven't play with garage band on that, but you cannot depend on built in mike to capture the audio for sure because of the unwanted environment ambience that also captured by that mike or captured mac book fan and noise. Invest a dedicated decent mike for that.

  • Record audio for the video

    Hi i am trying to see if there is some way to record audio like with the audio recoreder they sell for previous models but the thing is that it does not work with the video ipod
    so how do you record audio and speeches ect so i can do pod casts and stuff?
    also trying to record the my band on it

    Do you mean you want to use the iPod as an audio recorder?
    Currently it is not possible as there are no compatible microphones.
    There are a few in the works by other companies, but as of yet, they have no firm release date (Spring).

  • I am using logic to record a podcast and using soundboard to use as a playback for music and sound effects.  I'd like to soft patch sound board into logic, and still use my interface for recording audio from the other members of the podcast.

    I am using logic to record a podcast.  I have a presonus firestudio mobile for my interface so I can record several people at the same time.  I'm also using Soundboard for a playback system for music and sound effects.  I'd like to know how to soft patch Soundboard into Logic while still using the Firestudio interface to record the other members of the podcast.  Does anyone know how to do this? and if so can you tell me how to do it?  Thanks.

    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 the net ?

    What are simple means to record an audio stream from the net on my PowerBook, like a podcast (not a live broadcast, not a line-input) ? Can QuickTime do it ?
    Thanx in advance,

    QuickTime Pro can't record what plays on your computer.
    Hmm...
    Sorry, I don't like to argue with you but I just bought QT-Pro and made a test:
    I recorded music played on an Internet webpage (I believe by means of a Flash Player) with QT-Pro.
    Then I played it back again in QT - and it was there - although in poor sound quality.

  • Logic Pro X records (Audio) all the sounds of my computer when i plug in my guitar!

    When i plug in my Guitar (iRig) in my MacBookPro Retina, Logic Pro records all the sounds of my Computer. Even the sounds from itunes. The problem is now, I can`t record more then one track because if i want to play another track over the first one, the sound of the first one is recorded on the second track too!:SSS Help!

    Might want to read the chapter on how to set Logic's audio section for recording.
    While you're there read a couple of the chapters on basic recording techniques.

  • 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

  • Is it  possible to record audio from the audio in port instead of the default microphone?

    The quality of the audio would be better if I could provide it via the audio in port of the Mac rather than defaulting to the built in mike in the display.  Can I do that?

    Yes. Specifics depend on the recording app being usded. For instance, for QT X, select "Built-in Input: Line Input" in the dropdown menu. Other apps may require you to select the "Line In" option in the "System Preferences.../Sound/Input" panel.

  • When recording audio, the soundwaves dont show in the audio region.

    I think i must of changed settings accidentally or somewhat, because prior to this, there was no problem. However, now when i record i cant see soundwaves (im not sure what they're called) in the audio region. please help, its really giving me problems cos i really wna record audio.

    Try the waveform zoom slider in the lower right hand of the arrange.
    If that's not it then check your recording delay in preferences>audio, supposedly if it is set too high what you describe happens.
