Recording Empty Sound via Interface

I've got a basic M-Audio Fast Track interface device that I'm routing my acoustic guitar through, but even though it is set in my preferences to serve as the I/O, none of the sound is registering in the software---neither Logic nor GarageBand. The interface light is on, so near as I can tell, it's working.
I've spoken with other people who've seemed to have the same issue; does anybody know what we're doing wrong?
Thanks

How is the acoustic attached?
Take a look at the Audio MIDI Setup utility and make sure everything is configured properly.
Have you selected the proper input channel for the acoustic from within Logic and/or GB?

Does iPhone record when sound is manually turned off via the external side switch?

Does iPhone record when sound is manually turned off via the external side switch? Enquiring minds want to know.

Are you asking if the phone logs when someone mutes it? No, I don't believe so. Or, are you asking if audio recording apps still record when the phone is muted? Why don't you use the included VoiceMemo app and test it?
Best of luck.

For guitar, vocals, keyboard/drumpad controller, what is the best audio interface to use/record quality sound in Logic, Mainstage, Garageband, etc. (lowbudget)?

So many to choose from. im really just trying to record clean sounding electric guitar tracks now vocals in the future and keyboard/drumpad controller near future..(irrelevant but thought i should mention im in the market for a keyboard and drumpad controller combo hopefully will be usb or something) but i need a quality audio interface to use with Logic Pro 9 and all the stuff that comes with it (mainstage, etc) and also Garageband. I have heard so many different reviews about this or that but all in all i dont think i can afford an apogee except maybe the apogee One but it at 249 or whatever i feel like i could get alot more bang for my buck. Ive heard alot of good things about m-audio gear but i heard mixed reviews as well. If someone can just tell me what is the best interface in the 100-200$ range for the needs ive listed above...Any responses or advice greatly apprecitated.
Thanks

hi mm
there are so many different sound cards out there these days it seems - ill just say that one that i got alot of use out of was the tascam 122 (http://www.tascam.com/Products/US-122.html)
it has 2 decent phantom powered XLR inputs, some midi stuff, a place to plug a guitar into and some nice big knobs.
the next level would be something with more ins (8 or 10) and probably firewire, and also around $400 i think.
oh, and your computer should be more than sufficient to handle what you want to do.

I don't see anyplace in the program where you are actually saving a file to disk. You have the output of SI Read being filtered and graphed and also back out to the sound card, but that's it. The only Snd Write Wave File function is outside the loop and will only write an existing file to a new location.

I use Garageband 09 to record voice overs via podcasting, female narrator noisy, but keep getting an intermittent clicking sound. It's not the metronome. I have a good quality external USB mic plugged in. Any ideas?

I use GarageBand 09 to record voice overs via the Podcasting then Female Narrator Noisy utility. I have a good quality external mic plugged in. I keep getting an intermittent clicking sound on the audio track. It's not the metronome as that is turned off. I have to edit out the clicking after recording. I can see the spikes on the waveline. Any ideas how I can prevent this happening?

Hi again and thanks so much for replying.
The 'mic jack' on the old mic is both wide and large, measuring about an inch and a quarter from the base (where it comes out of the black encasing) to the edge of the tip (sort of cone shaped). As I can't plug this in directly to any port in the back of the Mac, I thought it might be possible to to buy some sort of adapter so that I could plug in the jack at one end, with a USB connector at the other end to go straight into the Mac. But I see from your comment that you are suggesting a smaller jack itself (i.e., large size jack to small size jack and then plug in to the small round port, instead of jack to USB port)?
At the Mac shop I bought a USB adapter to connect up a second monitor (screen). I've just dug out the package and it's called a mini display port to VGA adapter. But back to the mic issue, I don't want to use the old mic really, I'm just trying to eliminate whether or not my usual mic, or its USB cable, is at fault and causing the clicking.
I looked on Amazon for a suitable adapter but there was mention of these little gadgets having a sound card. As the Mac obviously has its own internal sound card, I couldn't see the point of another (exernal) one, unless it was actually required to convert the sound from input to output (playback) or something. One review said sound quality was lost but the person had a problem with his speakers, not a ticking sound while playing back recordings - which is obviously my problem.
I do have a headset that I used to use for Skype. It has a pink and a green jack. I could plug one into the "headphones symbol' port and try recording again with Garageband. At least the jack is the right size. Again, this is just for the purpose of eliminating whether my good mic on a stand with the anti-popping sheild is at fault.
While my Mac does have both inbuilt speakers (I don't need external ones) and an inbuilt microphone, the latter is not of a high enough quality for voice overs, hence buying an external mic etc. But whatever is causing the clicking or ticking is obviously affecting the quality of my recordings. As you can imagine, it is very time-consuming to edit out the ticking spikes and if the noise appears during speech, you can't edit it out at all.
Please keep the suggestions coming. I am determined to get to the bottom of this for my sake and everyone else who is suffering from the same problem!

I have surround sound with my LCD TV. Will my new iPad into an HDML connection be able transmit surround sound via Utube, iTunes or whatever?

I have surround sound with my LCD TV. Will my new iPad into HDML connection and Utube, iTunes etc. produce surround sound?

ATV definitely supports AC3 DD 5.1... etc, but definately not through AirPlay, only streamed through the inet.
I also found, in the case of Netflix, that the AC3 is preserved in the highest bandwidth mode but not available in the lowest. (frankly i did not test the intermediate bandwidth)
I was quite pleased with the sound and picture from Netflix.
I am not so patiently waiting for AirPlay to support AC3 DD or DDPlus because I record my home video in %.1 surround (AVCHD) and can preserve it through Final Cut Pro and DVD or Red Laser, but cannot use the intended cable replacement (AirPlay) to play them.
Bummer..
I think/hope if more people request surround sound via AirPlay Apple may then follow through on this otherwise good idea.

Asset depreciation posting via interface

Hello,
My client would like to use WBS elements as investment measures to bring capital projects through WIP and capitalize to FXA's. However, they want to maintain an external asset accounting system as the system of record for depreciation, write ups, write downs, etc. Our system will receive these postings via interface.
They would also like to record depreciation of a single FXA to various WBS elements based upon a crosswalk from the asset accounting system. I am trying to find a way to make multiple JV's to post this,
Dr Depreciation expense, key 40 - WBS
CR Accumulated Depreciation, key 75 - FXA.
Thus, FI-AA's manual depreciation and unplanned depreciation transactions will not meet this requirement as far as I can tell.
I have been trying to make ABF1 or FB01 work. ABF1 will allow for this posting, however, I am not able to select the individual asset on the credit line. Is this a screen layout configurable item? FB01 will not allow a depreciation transaction type to be used in the transaction at all.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks,
John

To be frank, any solution that is built around something like ABF1 should be reconsidered. I'm all for delivering creative solutions when required to but wouldn't propose something like that to a customer... at least not without a "you'll get no support from SAP on something like this". Since the external system will track all of the asset's depreciation calculations and value adjustments, why not just post a simple FI document using a BADI? Why muck it up with ABF1? It would seem that if they accept the fact that they are leaving SAP then they are leaving behind some integration benefits as well. Trying to regain those benefits by posting to a recon account and (hopefully) maintaining a reconciled set of books between the GL and FIAA isn't logical to me.
Posting costs to a series of CO objects is the job of CO. You might be able to come up with a solution using FI-AA but I would expect more problems related to document creation as you have already found. Just post it to a high level WBS/IO and then allocate using whatever logic they require. At least you'll have the tools to do so within CO.

My recorded footage without sound will not play, but will when recorded with sound, any ideas?

Hi there community!
I have recorded alot of footage on a digital Harinezumi 3 camera and have run into a problem in post production.
Some of the footage is recorded with sound, and plays fine. However, with most of the footage, i chose to turn the recording of sound off. These files without sound will not play in any player, even when Perian is installed.
These are the specs of the video I have been able to find out.
File type: .AVI
Video Stream: JPEG
This is all I can find out, so I am thinking it is an M-JPEG file rendered as an AVI file. VLC player says it can not play the video or audio format 'undf', whatever that means. Another player says it needs a .moov encoder, but I do not see how this is possible. I have also tried attaching audio to it via Logic 9 with no success.
I am at a loss, and I really need this footage for a project. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!!

It won't let me post the video in the forum, so here is a link to it in dropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k4nz8mg18p4thzd/Mountain%203.AVI?n=145237283
Accessed the file at dropbox. Played the DropBox "display" file in scripted player, played the same resource file using the Safari plug-in, and then downloaded the resource file using the QT 7 Pro "Open URL" option only to learn that this file was an H.264 transcode and not your original file. Used the DropBox download option to download the original Motion JPEG file in AVI file container. File plays as is in both QT X v10.2 and QT 7 v7.6.6 players under Mountain Lion v10.8.4 on my system.
Motion JPEG is one of the "lagacy" codec components turned off under Lion and which remains turned off under Mountain Lion. However, as I understand it, Motion JPEG files are supposed to be passively supported (playback supported) under these systems but requires the codec to be turned back on if you wish to export files using this codec. I turned both Motion JPEG and Motion PNG codecs back on quite a while back and have Perian installed which, as you can see, supplied the OpenDML version of the Motion JPEG codec component to actually play your file on my system. Unfortunately, since QT uses a LIFO codec component list generation strategy, I would have to remove Perian to test whether or not the system configured Motion JPEG component would then become the active decoder. (Did this a year or two ago but not willing to do so again at this time.)
Suffice it to say, the file should play in QT on your Mountain Lion system assuming the correct version of Perian is installed, it is actually active, and you have no conflicting software or hardware installed on your system. Have posted an MOV file containing your Motion JPEG video data in case you want to see if it will play correctly on your system.

Cannot record with sound blaster conn

I have purchased a Sound Blaster Connect to convert stuff to mp3. Using line in I can hear sound through headphones on the Connect, Creative MediaSource seems to realise there is sound (monitor moves), but as soon as i try to record, I get a - 'the recording process was aborted' message. I can record to mp3 via WaveStudio but results 'stutter'. Any advice?Message Edited by Brianjay on 05-30-20070: AM

That's not the issue, the problem is that some games are firing 32-bit float audio (0x0e type as indicated in the error) into ALSA through whatever means, and the standard GLC only supports 16, 24 and 32bit signed int audio. My fork above adds very rudimentary support for float.

Monitoring and recording using my audio interface

I am new to the logic express program. When I try to record with my audio interface (whether mic or instrument), do I always have to go to the "Device Input" settings and swithc the input to my interface? Even when I do that, the bars move indicating sound, but I cant hear it...dont know what I am doing wrong?
So basically, right now, I record without being able to monitor, then when I want to hear it, I have to switch the device input back from the interface to the default device?
It seems I am making this harder than it is.
Thanks for the help.

I am having the same problem (using a presonus firepod). Tried the aggregate solution but it is not working.
Steps I took: Aggregate Device Editor > selected firepod and built-in output. Then in Audio Midi setup selected aggregate device as default input. In Logic Ex 8, preferences>audio>enabled core audio and selected aggregate device as the driver. Created a new track, tried using input monitoring and the record button. I can see the levels go up and down, so there is signal, but no sound for me to hear. The inputs and outputs for the track are input 1 outputs 1&2.
So am I doing something wrong?
Thanks guys.

Ican not get sound via imic on the mac opX6.8

I have an older iMic, trying to input streaming sound to record on Sound Tap, which I purchased online.
Two problems:
1 - no throughput on the iMic
2- Sound Tap askes for URL to launch - no idea what this is and what I should enter.
Mac 10.6.8
Any ideas out there?

There is definitely something wrong, but I couldn't tell you if it's your phone or your computer. I'm on 1.1.1 too and my phone still appears as a device in XP and behaves as it always has.
I can't recommend doing something Apple doesn't want you to do, *but if you are willing (as a last resort)* there is a way to access the file system directly and download the photo files in a way that is similar to how you would from an FTP site with FTP software.
It would require you to go to the site that puts installer on your phone. Once that is done install "open ssh" (to be able to connect to your phone and install "services" (to disable and re-enable ssh as needed for security purposes). Then use a program like winscp (works like other ftp programs but allows different types of connections - in this case an scp connection) to connect to your phone. The camera role is located in: \var\root\media\DCIM\100APPLE\. From there you can copy them to any location on your PC.
If you phone is showing up as empty when you connect it to your computer then there might be something wrong with the area the photos are stored in, or maybe it's too full. I don't know what the limit is or if there is a limit. Just bouncing around some ideas.

Which input for recording computer sounds

I have recorded a number of tracks via my Soundblaster Line in input to AA. I have a software drum module which I want to record via AA, but I cant seem to get AA to register this input. It's not inputting via any line/mic/etc input, as it is on the computer already. Am I selecting the wrong input? I have tried a few of them on the list and none seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks.

If I open the Creative Audio Console, it has an option to record. You can select input for the recorder, and if I select "what u hear" then the equaliser bars respond to the drum software. However, in AA I cannot find an option to record "what u hear" or any equivalent - all the inputs seem to be for external sources (line in, digital in) and a few I don't understand (mix FL, mix RL) - if I choose these two latter ones, I get a sudden crescendo of feedback which causes the input level monitors to go into the red and cut out.
Update: I went into AA audio hardware setup and selected "Audition 3.0 windows sound" as the audio driver. The only output available is "SPDIF out". Now, I am able to select "what u hear" as a recording input!! HOWEVER, when I click "arm for record", I get the error message:
Adobe Default Windows Sound Driver
Device: SPFID Out (Creative SB X-Fi)
Errorcode: FFA-8-000D [800705aa]
Info: Playback failed. The audio system does not seem to respond. Maybe card does not support full duplex mode.
I am now able to record computer sounds, though I cannot hear the recording nor the playback when I am finished. If I set the device back to "Creative ASIO" then I am able to hear what I recorded.
My soundcard is a Creative 7.1 X-FI Elite Pro, which supports full duplex.
Would really appreciate any help !

My phone no longer outputs any sound via it's speakers

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3
My phone no longer outputs any sound via it's speakers. I can hear sound with headphones and also if it is connected by the dock connector it will output sound to whatever it is connected to.
I have tried plugging and unplugging headphones several times thinking that it is stuck in headphone mode but that did not resolve the problem. I tried a factory reset in case it was software related but that didn't fix it either. The phone is out of warranty.
Thanks.

Bring your phone to Apple for out of warranty replacement. In the US this will cost $199.

For 1/11/11 expert day: can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers

HP Pavilion dv6135nr Notebook internal speakers have stopped working. I can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers. A search on HP customer care for my notebook yielded the download recommendation below, even though I had not stated my problem. However, executing this download did NOT resolve the problem. Please advise regarding resolution to inoperable speakers. I do not know if all of my sound and audio settings are correct, but the mute is not on and the volume controls are properly set. The default device is Conexant High Definition Audio output, per the sound and audio devices properties hardware tab the device status states "this device is working properly." Is it possible that a Skype or Foxfire update is in conflict with this device? If so, how do I resolve this situation?
Thank you.

Re: Fixes issue where the notebook speakers do not work after headphones or earphones are used for a while and then unplugged.
HOW DO YOU FIX THIS?? I cannot find the correct Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio that works with my computer...
My computer:
VISTA
HP Compaq 2230s Notebook PC
Everytime I use my headphones for more than an hour or two, the **bleep** audio will not play on my notebook's speakers, just through the headphones. Usually restarting a few times resolves the problem, but not this time. If I knew that HP computers sucked this much I would never have spent so much money on this one!!!
Can you please tell me how to fix this problem once and for all? Thanks!!

How to upload records in two different interface tables through WebADI.

We have created custom integrator with two different interfaces to insert records in AP_INVOICES_INTERFACES and AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE. Also defined the custom layout in which we mention the header and lines column info to be displayed in the spreadsheet. When I tried to create document to upload the records into the interface tables, could find two different interface for header and lines , when we select the header and upload records into the AP_INVOICES_INTERFACES table it was successfull. But couldn't upload records inserted in Lines interfaces tables. How do we upload records in both the table do we have constraint with Web ADI can insert records to only one interface tables. Any recommendation highly appreciated.

Raghu,
Thanks for the reply,
I have a concern, But if you are connecting a another database you have to create one more subreport and each time am creating connections across databases we have to create subreport and go for the design to show the record. Is it any way to have a common field or union records approach in crystal report 2008.
For Example :
Approach 1 :
Emp name Emp salary (Common Header)
Variable Field1 Variable field2 ( Iterations to be done here for records)
Variable field 1 contains ---> emptbl(employee name), b.emptbl(employee name) (A database, b database, c database or any .db)
Variable field2 contains ---> emptbl (salary info between databases)
Approach 2:
getting all the records and union all the records
Thanks
