Recording audio with iMovie '09???

Hi there, I've been recording some stuff through my webcam using iMovie...but there is no audio. There isn't even an option I need to select in order to start getting audio! What do I do?

Welcome to Disccussions, wanno101
If your audio still does not record after you follow after you follow JG99's excellent advice, check your iMovie voiceover setting to be sure you are using the correct "Record From:" source as shown in this image:
This is where you select the voice recording source in iMovie 8 (from iLife '09).

  • How do you record audio in imovie?

    i'm trying to use the internal mic to record audio with video at the same time.  like a youtube type video...  everytime i record the video is fine but there is no sound whatsoever even though when i click the voice over button my voice registers.

    ok, so maybe the problem is that imovie does not do what i want.  can audio and video be recorded at the same time?  i want to play and sing and have a video and audio recording; not a video of me playing and singing and then have to record a voice over of me playing and singing as well.  that's just silly extra work...and i'd have to sing and play it exactly the same like i'm a voice over actor.    which i'm not.

  • I recorded audio with Quicktime player and the sound files won't disappear from the desktop no matter how I try to put them in the trash...

    I recorded audio with Quicktime player and the sound files won't disappear from the desktop no matter how I try to put them in the trash...tried xing out the red x, putting them in the trash...right clicking to make them disappear...nothing works...

    Just got rid of them... I closed Quicktime and was asked to delete. So I deleted them. Problem solved.

  • Recording audio with Skype.

    I want to Podcast using GB but stumbled when finding out that I can only record interviews using iChat. is there another way that I can record audio with GB. I know about AudioHijack Pro which seems like a good app. is that my only option?

    You might play with SoundFlower, or Jack OS which both claim to be able to route audio between apps, but there is no built-in interface between GB and anything other than iChat.

  • Recording audio with JavaFX

    Hi All,
    I was looking for advice on how best to record audio with JavaFX, as JMF is seriously out of date.
    Can anybody tell me how to get started here?
    Cheers,
    Chester

    I think you'll have to do it via Java Sound API, because JavaFX itself doesn't have capability of recording audio. Maybe in version 1.3, but I have no access to it.

  • Link Zoom H1 audio with iMovie

    I am shooting a video with my iPad while using a Zoom H1 portable mic at the same time. Then I am trying add the audio from the Zoom to an iMovie video, then align the two audios and use only the Zoom audio.  When I align the two it pins the audio to the video and then it won't let me edit the audio. Is there a way to align the two without pinning it? 
    Thanks for any help on this matter.

    As someone whose career so far has been mostly stills, this is an area that is so troublematic (to coin a word) that many of the videographers I know of simply state they do NOT take much more than a few crucial moments of audio at weddings, but use the visuals placed over either rights-free or paid-for music. Recording sound with a camera rarely gets GOOD sound, using a remote like the Z-H1 means a TON of matching clips to audio footage. In other words, hours of post just to match the dang things before you even begin editing for content/appearance.
    Best wishes ... I've not heard of an "easy" way to do this, but I'll certainly be watching to see if someone here has a good idea ...

  • Can No Longer Record Audio With iMic

    I've been using the Camera Connection Kit with the iMic to record audio from my studio via 'Line In' for months with no issue. A few weeks ago, my iPad stopped recording using iMic. It only records with the internal mic now, so the sound is garbage. The software company says it isn't their software that's the problem. Did Apple have an update (prior to latest release) that rendered iMic useless?
    Without the ability to record audio in this fashion, the iPad is a useless paperweight for me.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Users have reported that some accessories that worked with the CCK before the update to iOS 4.2.1 now no longer work. This article, updated after the iOS update give a clue that the update changed what worked.

  • 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.

  • When I try to record audio with Soundflower, the recording has no audio. What am I doing wrong?

    I am an amateur DJ trying to record a mix made in Cross DJ. I followed a tutorial instructing me to use Soundflower to route my system audio to QuickTime and have had no problem routing. Yet when I record the audio with QuickTime, the recording plays no audio. What am I doing wrong? I really need this mix recorded and I have no intention of downloading extra software.

    This is because you have Punch on the fly enabled under Options (top menu)>Audio>Punch on the Fly.... signified by the letter P instead of the letter R

  • Can't record audio with G580 please help!

  • Recording Audio with iPod Nano - Request Software Stereo Monitor

    I'm posting this message hoping that an Apple employee will read it...
    The iPod Nano used in conjunction with the Belkin TuneTalk Stereo adapter turns the Nano into an excellent solid-state 16bit / 44.1KHz digital audio recorder. However, there is no visual indication that audio is being recorded on the Nano when recording is initiated - no stereo audio monitor with a volume indicator bar for the left & right channels is present. Most audio recording applications provide a left & right stereo volume indicator bar to display real-time audio clipping or low input volume... colored green at the bottom, yellow near the top, and red at the very top for audio clipping when the input volume is too loud.
    While I understand that the main purpose of the iPod is for audio playback, I would ask Apple to include a stereo audio monitor in an upcoming iPod software update (soon). Perhaps as a starting point, you can borrow code for the live equalizer monitor that appears at the top of the iTunes window when the little right-arrow is pressed in the virtual LCD screen area.
    While I have had no problems to date recording on the iPod Nano, it would be reassuring to know that the device is actually recording audio. It would be unfortunate to record an hour-long interview believing everything is fine, but then discover that no audio had been recorded. The presence of a stereo audio monitor would help deter this fear.
    Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Jaspo

  • Record Audio with Captivate 2 and Vista

    I'm using Vista 32-bit and I can't record audio.
    Is there any Idea, who to fix the problem?

    The fix even fixed my set up which is Captivate running on
    Vista home running on VMware Fusion running on an Intel Mac.
