Recording from a mixer to my compu

Currently I am using a Behringer EurotrackUB802 mixer that is connected to my soundcard (sb li've! 24-bit) using a rca-to-/8th jack. Im using this soundcard until I get the money to get a digidesign or protools compatable soundcard with rca inputs. Whenever i try to record, its extrremley quiet and very poor quality. I have it going into my only line-in, which the instructions say isnt just a microphone input. is there anything i can do to make it louder and better quality?

Hi
So you're using rca's for TAPE IN/OUT. Try instead the MAIN OUT path. This is the
path I use (Phonic) and what it's manual recommends.

Help recording from turntables/mixer

Alright, I'm sure this has been posted before or answered somewhere on the internet, but I haven't come up with any answers yet in my search. All I want to do is hook my mixer for my turn tables up to my Macbook so that I can record some of my LPs and make some mixes. I have an RCA to headphone cable hooked up to my line input, changed the input type at the appropriate places to line in, and that's about it. If anyone could at least point me in the direction of a tutorial on how to do this with Garageband. I've never used this program before, so I would appreciate complete directions. Thanks, peace.

I will go on a step by step with you to see if you got some input:
(note that the term maybe a little different since I use my OS in french)
in Preference system / sound under input select line in.
At this moment if you make your sound source play you should see the meter on that page move.
If it don't the computer don't get any signal so you must check before it.
in GB pref. select the audio input to be the same as preference system or to line in.
Select the track you want to record on click the info button ( i ).
there is a popup next to the text "input source". (if your setting is line in it should be ok, but
don't heart to check)
Make sure that the track you want to record on is selected and that the red dot below the control of that track is red.
hit record.

Recording from a mixer to ipad

I would like to get an iPad and be able to do some live recordings. So here are my questions:
1. Can you buy some type of device that would allow you to go out of a board into your iPad. (1/4', xlr, etc) Recommendations?
2. What are some good apps for live recordings?
Thanks!

I have not done it, but understand the Griffin iMic will work with the USB adapter in the Apple Camera Connection Kit. See <iMic>.
If you will enter griffin imic in the search box at the top of this page, you will find several threads related to your question.

Recording from muted Line-

Hello,
I'm using Audigy 4. I want to record from Line-In [using eg. Sound Recorder]. I don't want to hear what's on Line-In and I mute it.
Is there any way to do it's When line-in is not muted it works when I record from Analog Mix. When it's muted it doesn't work.
Thanks for help in advance,
Michal

The "record without monitor" option was created for compatibility with TV-card recording, and it depends whether you want Line-In to come back on when you stop recording or that's not a problem for you. If you want to record Analog Mix with Line-In but effecti'vely have it muted for playback for the duration, there's a less direct way to do that with the EAX control panel:
. Launch the EAX control panel.
2. Select an effect preset to base this on, perhaps "(No Effects)".
3. Click on the "Source" tab.
4. Select the "Analog Mix (Line/CD/Aux/TAD/PC)" source.
5. Select each effect in turn, and lower the amount to 0 (<i>including</i> "Original Sound" ).
6. If desired, type a new name for this setting in the box at the top, like "Mute Analog In". Use the button with the floppy disk icon to save this preset for future use.

I can't seem to get GB to recognize my Behringer X1222 USB Mixer. It will record, but shouldn't I be able to see and/or select which input channel(s) that I will record from? Can I record more than one channel at a time, and record multi tracks?

I can't seem to get GarageBand to recognize my Behringer X1222 USB Mixer. It will record, but only on the generic "USB Input, without seeing or letting me select the input channel from the mixer. Can't find any drivers from Behringer. How do I getGB to "see" the mixer? Thanks, I'm a newbie to Macs in genreal, and recording...

the x1222 includes a 2 channel audio interface, 2 channels are all you can get from it.
the most you can do is record to 2 tracks at a time; skim this tute to see how:

Iphone 5 direct line in recording from mixer

I'm intending to buy an iphone in October and wants to find out if there are any external cables or devices I need in order to connect a direct line out from the mixer to the iphone 5 (I believe it should work the same in iphone 4s) to do recording. Or can I just plug in my 3.5mm audio out cable directly? Does the iphone 5 jack allow direct audio input? Please advise. Thanks!

did you solved your problem? My line ins disappeared too! (audigy 4)

Can't hear monitor / recording from mixer

I'm running three mics and a direct feed from a pre-amp into a Yamaha mixer and then from the mixer to the MBP using Garage Band purely as a recording device.
But I can't hear the mix that the Mac is recording.
Never used GB08 before.
Help! (Band goes on in an hour or two.)

Thanks!
(Part of the problem was that I was using a friend's BOSE headphones and he hadn't mentioned they have to powered on separately. Ok, that was dumb.)

I want to use my classic to record stright from a mixer so i dont get any background noise how do i do it

hi i wonder if any one knows how i can record stright to my ipod classic ,from a mixer output ? i want to do it this way so there is no background noise mono is ok it isonly lectures

Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck

Recording from Mixer to 13" Macbook Pro

Hey everybody,
First let me be frank, I don't know much about audio equipment/mixers etc., but I do know some. Anyway, I do a lot of remote high school play-by-play broadcasts using four separte external mics that run from my Yamaha MG102c mixer, back into my 13" Macbook Pro. The problem I seem to be having is figuring out how to get my computer to recognize the external source (Mixer), so that when I go to record my broadcast for future listening, I can just use garageband. Now, I know they make USB/Firewire mixers, but i had to do this on a budget. The cord I have that I thought would connect the mixer back to my mac is just a basic right and left 1/4" plug to 1/8" adapter that runs to the single headphone jack in my computer. I don't know if I am not using the correct line channels to get the audio that is coming from the mix back, but for some reason I continue to have trouble. Anyway, any help would be much appreciated.

MBP = Mac Book Pro.
Here is what I would do:
1) Verify that there is indeed audio coming out of your adaptor cable. You can do this by plugging that cable into some other audio device, to confirm that it is working. Also verify that you are coming out of the mixer a line or tape level.
2) Once you have verified that the mixer/cable is correct, plug it into the one audio jack on the 13" Mac Book that doubles as a line in and headphone output jack.
3) Launch Garage Band, and go to the menu Garage Band > Preferences. When the preferences open, click on the tab for Audio/Midi.
4) Set your Audio Input to Built-In Line Input.
You should be good to go.

Lots of audio pops when recording from mixer

I'm using FCP 5.1.4 on a mac laptop (don't know what type it is, but think it's somewhat recent). I'm recording a stage play's audio.
Here's my audio flow:
Mixer's 1/4" headphone jack -> 1/4" Stereo audio cable -> 1/8" stereo adapter at other end (have also tried 1/8" mono) -> Laptop's microphone port (no other input audio port available)
I can get a good signal, but there's constant audio pops/clicks happening at a steady rate. I remember reading somewhere else that problems can arise when recording directly from a mixer due to the high signal strength coming from it. Any ideas why this is happening? How do I fix this?

Phillip Roh wrote:
What is a mic bus level output?
Most better mixers have direct bus ins and outs. Just like plugging in a mic.
Laptop doesn't have a line in port
Get a different computer if you're expecting to enjoy doing audio capture.
If i used the RCA or XLR output jacks, would the popping still occur?
Irrelevant, it's all about signal type, resistance, milliamperes, millivolts and milliwatts. Not connectors. You can put an XLR on your power supply and it wouldn't change the voltage.
I think my workplace may have a few USB audio things lying around. Like it has 2 XLR input ports, then connects to computer through USB. Do you know if they tend to need certain software, or if they're plug and play?< </div>
Unknown from here. this is not a FCP question.

Which Mac is best for music purposes? I want to mix music recorded from MIDI and live sound, and also want to use Sibelius to play music in. I'm looking at MacBook Pros; any tips? 13" or 15"?

Which Mac is best for music purposes? I want to mix music recorded from MIDI and live sound, and also want to use Sibelius to play music in. I'm looking at MacBook Pros; any tips? 13" or 15"?

I would think a 15" with the i7 CPU. You can get a 13" with the i7 CPU but the 15" has a dedicated graphic chip along with the intergrated one.
You will also need to upgrade the hard drive to a faster 7200RPM model instead of the standard 5400RPM model that comes with all MBPs. The Sibelius website recommends the 7200RPM or a SSD. You will also be better off installing 8GBs of RAM.
Both of those upgrades can be made after you buy a MBP for much less then Apple charges for the same upgrades and you get to keep the original RAM and hard drive.

Issue with fetching a record from IHPA table with PARNR value as condition

Hi All,
I am trying to fetch a particular record from IHPA table where i am giving the OBJNR number, PARVW and PARNR as customer no. , But I am not getting any record but if i will give OBJNR and PARVW it will generate a record with having same PARNR value.
Example :
case 1st :-
when i am passing following values in IHPA table,
OBJNR = IE000000000010070910
PRAVW = BP
PARNR = 620000562
it is not generating any record
case 2nd:-
But if i will pass
OBJNR = IE000000000010070910
PRAVW = BP
it will generate a record?(one row) which will include PARNR as same 620000562 along with other value.
Q1 - Why it's not generating in case 1st,
Q2 - How I will resolve this issue ? as i have to link some table as EQUI -
IHPA -
VCKUN
VCNUM ?
      I have written a code for this to join :
     SELECT A~EQUNR
       B~PARVW
       C~CCNUM
       D~CCNUM
       FROM EQUI AS A JOIN IHPA AS B ON AOBJNR = BOBJNR
       INNER JOIN VCKUN AS C ON BPARNR = CKUNNR
       INNER JOIN VCNUM AS D ON CCCNUM = DCCNUM
       APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE IT_OBSO
       WHERE A~EQUNR IN S_EQN.
             AND PARVW = 'BP'.
      But it is not generating any record but when i am commenting the PARVW i am getting the mixed record of PARVW as (BP,SP,SH)
Let me know if any more clarification required.
Highly appreciate your help
Thanks & Regards
Shaw

Hi Santosh,
Thanks for your quick response.
But I am Sorry, I already checked with putting Zero before PARNR.
The issue is still as it is.
Thanks

How to record from the video in or S-video Ports on Qosmio G40?

Can anyone tell me how to record from the video in or S-video ports, because i've tried the Ulead DVD factory program and the only capture device it could see was the webcam, and it did capture from it
After that i've downloaded the update file that was provided by the support website
The devices that the program could see are the TV tuner and the webcam (which it couldn't access anymore for some reason)
After that i've downloaded a newer update which simply is the same as the last update and seems that someone in the support website directed the link of the new update which they don't have to the file of the previous update which doesn't really do anything.

Hi
There are 2 s-video ports; s-video out port is not designed to capture the signals from any external source. The name of this port says everything; its an OUT port!
The s-video-in port must be placed at the right side of the notebook. Dont mix the both ports. But note; this port receives only the video signals. To hear the sounds, use a video cable to connect the sound terminals of the audio device and your computer.
Red: sound right channel
White: sound left channel
The Ulead DVD Movie factory can be used to capture this signal.

Recording from mic, not sound card

Hi there. Relatively new to Audition so trying to get my head around it!
I'm using Adobe Audition 3.0 and i'm mucking about with it basically to get some experience for my uni project. I'm trying to compile and edit together a collection of audio clips from a number of web streams. I've done it before for a while on a different computer and it worked fine but i'm having trouble doing it right on this occasion.
Basically, it's recording from my microphone rather than what's being played on the computer. I have no idea how to change this. Any help guys?

I bet you've moved to a Vista or Windows 7 machine.
Under pressure from the record companies, the ability to record the Stereo Mix output of you computer has been disabled or removed from many new computers.
You may be lucky and find it's only been disabled on your machine. If so, then do the following:
To enable:
->> go to Control Panel
->> Hardware and Sound
->> Manage Audio devices
->> in the Recording tab window right click in the white area away from any devices and from the menu enable "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show disconnected devices"
->> right click on Stereo Mix to get the properties window and in Device usage "Use this device (enable)"
However, there have been many reports in here (you can do a search) that some computer manufacturers are actually removing this ability entirely, again under pressure from the record companies.
This being the case, you might try some software called Virtual Audio Cable: http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
You have to pay for it but at least there's a trial version so you can see if it works for you before laying out your money.
