Recording Audio through Tape Inputs in Logic

Hi
I have a Mackie Onyx firewire desk. Is there a way i can record from the tape inputs on my desk in to logic. I have a level in on the desk but cant find how to get logic to receive this signal? Can anyone help
Cheers
Jonny

Hi Jonny,
The tape inputs on your desk are "Monitoring only" meaning they only play back when you select "Tape" in the control room/headphone monitor section.The best way is to bring in what you have plugged into the"tape inputs" on two channels of the board itself,like channels 15-16.
Then you can record directly into Logic,if you have the FireWire card installed.
Cheers

  • Record audio through jack input

    Hi,
    does anbody know if and how it is possible to record audio through my Q5's jack audio input (not through mic!)? 
    In case it's not supported via existing apps, can it be programmed via some API?
    Thanks,
    Peter 

    Hey BBBP,

  • RECORDING AUDIO through ROLAND FANTOM G8 on LOGIC PRO

    Guys, I have been struggling for days, with such a ridiculously simple issue. I need to be able to record audio through my mic which is connected through my Roland Fantom G8 on one audio track in Logic, while simultaneously hearing the beat on another audio track through my computer's built-in output. Garageband does this automatically.
    When I set the core audio input to the Roland Fantom, I can record just fine, but then I cannot hear the beat play through the computer's output. If I set the core audio input to built-in input, then I can hear the beat through the computer, but Logic does not detect my mic.
    The program detects the Roland without me setting the core audio input to Roland Fantom, as I can record sounds on a midi track while simultaneously hearing the beat on an audio track. So why can I not record my vocals through the Roland on one audio track and simultaneously hear the beat on another audio track through the computer's output?
    Somebody please let me know ASAP because I need to get this album of mine under way. It would be GREATLY appreciated.

    It's quite common - people who are used to using entry-level tools don't necessarily realise that the software is designed to do a certain amount of hand-holding.
    When moving to a professional program, people somehow think that the new program will do everything the entry-level one did and more, but everything will be even easier.
    However, professional software is designed specifically to not do any hand-holding. It's assumed that people using professional software have a certain amount of skills. The software is designed to help them realise what they want, rather than constrain them in "easy-mode".
    In short, it doesn't hold your hand, it doesn't tell you when to go to bed, and it won't look all dissapproving when you turn up the following morning with a hangover and half your clothes missing.
    The trouble with having the pro stuff so accessible is a lot of people who are really at the level of using entry-level programs are using the pro stuff simply because they can - and then they get frustrated because these programs require some knowledge to use effectively.
    Sit someone in front of Maya or After Effects (as an example) who has very little knowledge or experience, and they won't get far. And the software is not going to try to educate them.
    And we see this with Logic Pro 8 like never before, as a lot of new users have come on board, whether because the price point or value is so attractive, or because LP8 is accessible in a way LP7 and before wasn't.
    (Note, this is a general thing, not necessarily applied to the OP here...)

  • Record audio through Mic on web site and send it to other place

    Hi There,
    I 'd like to record audio through mic using Flash on a web
    site and send the audio clip to other people or to the server. Is
    it possible without FMS?
    Thanks!
    Nick

    No, without FMS you can't save the audio from a mic.

  • Recording Audio through/with Flash

    Hello,
    We are working with a client who has a project that they need
    a customer to record audio from their computer. We want to do the
    designs in Flash. Does anybody have an idea or suggestion on how to
    record audio through flash (swf) or what software would be useful
    in conjunction with?
    Thanks!

    You can capture audio from a microphone quite easily in
    Flash:
    var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
    mic.setLoopBack(); //Routes audio to speakers
    However saving audio has always been a problem in Flash. It
    is a tricky work-around process. You can only send to a server
    running Flash Media Server and then convert the audio using a tool
    like the one used for this project:
    http://blog.andrewpaulsimmons.com/2007/05/recording-audio-with-flash-player-to.html#links
    Recorded audio in Flash uses the NellyMoser codec, which is a
    low quality mono only audio codec designed for voice only. I found
    a decoder here as well as the one listed at the link above:

    Hopefully Flash will improve in this field in the
    future.

  • Yet Another Latency Issue Involving Audio through a 1620 into Logic 9

    Hi. Let me apologize in advance for my ignorance, and let me acknowledge that there are lots of tips on latency all over this and other sites.
    I haven't found the answer despite some extensive looking.
    I'm running Logic Studio / Logic 9 on a 32-bit only 2008 iMac.  I am using a Mackie Onyx 1620 [not 1620i] with Firewire InterfaceLogic as my audio interface.
    I am tracking audio into a project with both MIDI tracks and Audio tracks.  I have established an audio loop as an augmented click track.
    I have set latency to a low setting / buffer size in general preferences, and I have engaged "low latency" mode during audio recording.
    I have no problem monitoring through my Mackie Onyx 1620 [not 1620i], with no audible latency or delay problem at all whilst tracking.
    When I then play back the audio tracking, it is about 240 ticks off -- a dramatic latency problem.
    The problem exists even where I have no other tracks beyond my audio loop, and where there are no effects on the audio loop/click track.
    In other DAW setups, I've experienced latency in hearing my backing tracks and having an audible delay from latency in monitoring my input track.  This is effectively the reverse.
    Any ideas?  And again, I am woefully under-educated in the area.  With your kind help, I intend to remedy that . . . .
    Thanks very much.

    Pancenter, thanks for responding and trying to help.
    if so, you have a misunderstanding regarding latency.
    I can promise you that you're right!
    My understanding of latency in a nutshell: it is the small but perceptable delay [from "withholding" of signal] caused as a signal travels from point to point -- both (1) physical point-to-point (for example, from Mac processor to FW jack out on Mac through FW cable to FW jack in on interface, through cable out to monitor speakers or headphones); and
    (2) processing point to point (from recorded audio track through multiple plug-ins on channels strip to bus or master out, through plug-ins on each of those).
    I already know that I likely am wrong about this, or am at least incomplete.
    Based on that understanding, the problem I'm experiencing defies latency as I understand it, and defies logic (no pun intended; I just mean it makes no sense, as I'll explain below).
    What effects do you have on the master bus?
    None.  I had none in the original project I described in my first query, and have none on a simplified experiment project I've conducted since (after reading your response).
    If you are monitoring through the Mackie and NOT using Logic's software monitoring there is no need to set the Preferences/Audio/ I/O Buffer to a low value, set it to 256.  You also don't need to use Low Latency mode if you're monitoring through the Mackie.
    Here, I think I understand, but am not sure. 
    I am definitely monitoring through the Mackie in an absolute sense -- the returning signals from my DAW are coming in to the Mackie and (a) going out the 1620's headphone jack; (b) going out the 1620's master out to a Mackie Big Knob; and (c) going out the Big Knob's headphone jack, or to powered Mackie 824s.
    [No, I'm not a Mackie devotee; I just happened across the gear at great prices, and thought I understood it.]
    I don't think, though, that I'm "monitoring through the Mackie" as you intend it.  For my simple experiment, I established an audio drum track as a click track.  Each of the transients falls right on the metronome click/ beat location, so I know that it's "good."  I then plugged a Precision bass into the Mackie (channel one), with an audio track in Logic with "Input 1" as the input source. There are no plugins on the Precision track's channel strip.
    Because the Mackie FW interface  on the 1620 sends post-gain but pre-fader, I was able to turn down all faders on the Mackie except the master out.  When muting the Precision channel strip in Logic, I hear NO Precision.  *Nothing from the Precision gets to the monitors if the faders are down and Logic is not sending signal.*  If I then "de-mute" the Precision in Logic, I hear signal through the master line in the Mackie 1620. 
    In this setup, I assume I am not "monitoring through the Mackie," but I'm not sure.  I think that I'm "monitoring through Logic," and that's why I've engaged low-latency and set the preferences to minimize latency.
    we need to establish your setup, how you're monitoring, and what effects are on the master bus. (if any)
    In my simple experiment, with Logic set up to minimize latency, and with no plugins on the Logic master, I engaged "record" in Logic (only on the Precision track with no plugins), and I then played simple quarter notes on the Precision in time with the drumbeats in my Logic "clicktrack."  By playing simply like that, I confirmed that I am "in time" as far as my ears can perceive.  I then hit "Stop" in Logic.
    Upon playback, my Precision is perceptably (about 240) ahead of the click track !
    In my understanding of latency, at the worst the Precision should have been late because the Clicktrack would have been traveling through Logic's processing and down the lines to my monitors.
    Again, thanks a ton for trying to help me out here.  I hope that this description makes it easier.

  • Recording audio level is low on logic?

    I am recording through my 01x into logic but the levels are low. is the a setting i need to do so that i dont pump up the gain on my 01x because with too much gain i hear a distorted sound.
    Thanks

    Anyway Im sure someone on here can explain whats happenin.
    well, i'm not sure they will be able too unless they are 01x uses and have encountered this. my advice would be go to yamaha and ask them about it, as it sounds very much like a setting to do with 01x.
    some interfaces come with 2 settings to receive 2 different kinds of signal level; +4dbu and -11dbu. but since the 01x is the interface and is sending directly to logic so i don't see how that could be the problem. how high is signal reaching on the meters on your 01x? nice and high? do you have some kind of control panel on the mac for the 01x (i know it uses mLan technology, so there must be some kind of software).
    you want to be sending the highest possible signal (without clipping or distortion) from the analogue input to the digitizer. in this case it is your 01x. logic simply stores the information about the sound being created by and snet from the digital converters. so your signal problems have nothing to do with logic. i would be looking at how the 01x and the mac are talking to each other.

  • Problems recording audio through garageband

    Hello Mac world, I'm completely new to the Mac computers, and just purchased my MacBook Pro with a 2.3 ghz quad-core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB SSD, so I don't think specs are the problem to my issue. I purchased the Mac to record audio, and also purchased an audio interface to record through (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2). I have downloaded the most recent drivers for that. I connected my guitar through the instrument input, connected the interface through USB, and connected headphones into the headphone jack. I can hear the audio playback while I play through the headphones, but my problem relates to the actual recording process, as well as the audio playback.
    When recording, I get the following error: "Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI - Sample rate 41068 recognized. Check conflict between GarageBand and external device". I read that GarageBand requires a sample rate of 41000, but I don't know how to check/change that. I also can't hear the metronome or the count in while I play/record. My input source is Mono 1 (Scarlett 2i2 USB), instead of Stereo (Scarlett 2i2 USB) in both my GarageBand preferences and my System Preferences.
    Next, I have a problem hearing the audio playback after recording. Again, I can hear the guitar while I play, but not after I record. Also, like I mentioned above, I can't hear any metronome or count in.
    I also successfully recorded using a MIDI controller when connecting directly from the controller to computer using USB. Again, I don't think that my system specs are an issue, but I am completely new to the Mac side of things, and am not sure where I am going wrong with this.
    Does anyone have any clues as to what the issue may be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Recording audio through a changing tempo curve...

    I'm trying to record an audio track in one of my projects, and i have the tempo curve set to gradually slow down over a few bars, then pick back up. After I had set all this, I tried to record a guitar track over it. Whenever the playback gets to the tempo change, it "analyzes the audio file", and then completely screws it over in that section, pushing everything else on the other end so nothing syncs up anymore. Is there a way to get it to not do this?

    I have a Keystation 49-e. I don't know how to use the "internal" sound synths for which it is supposed to be set. However, I have learned that I can input "notes" into a track only AFTER I have applied a "MIDI" instrument to it from the list of those within Logic or from other MIDI instruments external to Logic.

  • Recording audio through firewire in GarageBand, possible?

    If I hook up my XLR mic to my Sony PD150, then hook the camera to my MacBook Pro through firewire, I can record in Quicktime fine. However when I try the same thing in Garageband it doesn't work (in Preferences, the only 2 options are "in-built mic" and "in-built line in"; in Quicktime I get a "DV Audio" option which is my firewire input).
    Does Garageband just not support Firewire audio at all, or is it just my particular setup that is confusing it?

  • Recorded audio through iSight is fuzzy on playback

    Not my own iMac, but that of a friend. When she records a video with the iSight the audio playback has become a bit "fuzzy". It doesn't sound too bad, but sometimes it's hard to understand some of her words. Previous videos created have very clear audio.
    What can I do to help her?

    Hello littlezilla.
    Diablorist offers a good suggestion to check System Preferences > Sound (both "Input" and "Output") settings. If you friend uses external speakers, also check whether those settings might need adjustment.
    Built-in iSight has no mic. Those iMacs use the mic built into the iMac.
    Your friend should verify that playing ONLY those things that she records NOW sounds bad. For instance, does a commercial audio CD also sound bad? Does one of those old recording that sounded good in the past still sound good? If all audio now coming out of your friend's iMac is "fuzzy", your friend's speakers (not the mic) may be damaged or your friend's sound card may be failing.
    If your friend's old recording still sound good when played back, there is nothing wrong with your friend's system's sound output components.
    Your friend should next try recording sound with a different application. If playback of a file recorded with a different app sounds good, the software for the app she initially used may be damaged. Try reinstalling that application.
    If playback of files recorded with any app that uses the iMac's built-in mic also sounds "fuzzy", the mic or audio processing components may be damaged. You can test that by using a different mic. If your friend does not have access to another mic, try playing back something recorded with a camcorder or digital camera. You may even want to buy an external mic like the Logitech USB Desktop Microphone for this test. If your friend's problem really IS the mic, using the desktop Mic will likely be cheaper than repairing your friend's iMac unless it is still covered by warranty.
    If you cannot fix the problem with software or an add-on mic, your friend should contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for professional service.

  • Trouble effectively recording audio

    I have my microphone hooked up through my Fantom G8 and I am using Logic Pro 8 software. My problem is when I try to record in Logic Pro, it will not recognize my microphone. This is weird because it recognizes it on the G8. Also, once I hit record in Logic Pro, the music that I am trying to record over will stop playing and I can hear nothing.
    This is a mystery. I previously solved this problem by creating an aggregate device incorporating the Fantom G8 with the Built-In output and Built-In input and trying different orders of those three, setting the clock master to different ones. However, now it does not want to work consistently.
    I am very familiar with creating an aggregate device. I understand that the order in which the devices within the aggregate device are placed determines the order in which they correspond to inputs and outputs, like 1-2, 3-4, etc. Maybe I am not setting up my audio tracks in logic properly. Should I put no output for the tracks I will be audio recording on, and no input on the track that will play the music?
    Please give me some direction, it would be highly appreciated.. Bee Jay was very helpful initially, but the problem persists. Thanks.

    Thank you. I am in the Southwest too, Tucson.
    I have tried deleting all previous Aggregate devices. The Fantom comes up simply as Roland Fantom G 44.1 kHz. I wish it showed up as separate input and output devices so I could select only the Fantom Input, that potentially could make things easier.
    I have always used both built in audio input and output, and now I will set built in output as the clock master, and since it will be first on the list on the aggregate device editor, it will correspond to outputs 1-2 on Logic, and the Roland if I put it second on the list should correspond to input 1.
    Do you know if I should use stereo or mono on the logic audio tracks, or specify no input or no output, or if these things even matter?
    You are right on about experimentation, thats all I have been doing. Its just puzzling because I had it working in the past without having to do all of this. I simply set up the aggregate device and I was in business. Right now if I open ableton, it plays the music through the built in output and I can record audio through the Fantom no problem, so its got nothing to do with the connections.
    I am going to play with it for the next hour using your advice and then I will let you know what happens. I REALLY appreciate your help.

  • Recording audio and microphones

    hi is there anybody out there that can tell me the best way to record audio via a microphone into logic through the internal sound card of the mac book pro and also recommend any good microphones for using to record vocals,thanks

    If you don't have an external audio interface, logic will default to the internal audio of your mac. All you need to do is plug a mic with the appropriate adapter for 1/8" input jack on the mac, select that input on the channel strip you are recording to, and record. There is also a mic built in to your macbook. It should work. This being said, the internal audio is pretty bad so if you want to record I would suggest an audio interface.

  • Recording Microphone through headphone jack?

    Simple question:
    Can I record audio through the headphone jack on my laptop with this microphone?:
    http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-20-Unidirectional-Microphone/dp/B00005T39P/ ref=dpreturn2?ie=UTF8&n=172282&s=electronics
    If not, how do you connect this microphone to your computer to record?
    Thanks!

    Certainly not through the headphone port!
    There's a separate audio line-in, but it's 'true' line-in, meaning it expects line-level (i.e. pre-amplified) input. So, you'd need a powered mic, or instead you might consider a USB mic.
