Recording from a Stereo Device to Audio-In Port

Hello, I'm new...I'm attempting to record from my korg kaoss pad to my powerbook g4 (17in) - the kaoss pad has stereo effects that are lost when recording through my mac's audio input jack. I am considering purchasing a usb audio interface - will this solve the problem? any other possible solutions?
I can't even figure out how to record in mono so that the mono signal pans center...easy to do in garageband, but i can't seem to find this option in soundtrack...I've been resorting to duplicating every track and panning them right......bah!

Hi,
Are you trying to upload to your computer, the audio tracks on old LPs played on the stereo? If so, probably a better way to go is to get a second set of audio cables to go from the audio/line-out jack of either the phonograph or amplifier (depending upon your stereo's setup) to the audio-in jack at the back of your Dell (assuming you have a sound card installed).
I suspect if you use the iPod Voice Memo mic for recording the LP as it plays over-the-air so to speak, the quality won't be great. Better to input directly into the sound card the audio output produced by the stereo.
Depending upon what you want to do with the audio tracks once it's on the Dell, you can get other pieces of hardware, such as an M-box, or software to further clean up to sound, before you import it into iTunes (for example).

Recording from a stereo

How do I set up a voice memo recorder to record from my stereo? It should be possible (as the manual on the voice memo recorder briefly notes, and Apple confirms), by switching the button behind the microphone from "mic" to "line." But so far I've only succeeded in getting a message that no microphone is connected. Ordinarily I have an AV cable hooked up in a way that works for sending music from the ipod to the stereo -- connecting to the output jacks for a VCR, since all the others were in use by cd player, tape deck, and phonograph player). But when I try switching it to the input jacks and recording an old LP, I get only the error message, whether I plug it into the place where the microphone goes or instead where the earphones go (which I guess can't be right) on the ipod. Can anyone explain what configuration would work? Am I right in assuming I don't need any further wires?

Recording from a MIDI device

Hello,
Is it possible to record from a MIDI device? I connected my keyboard via an M-Audio USB UNO interface. I used MIDI-OX to confirm that my Windows XP PC was able to input and output a MIDI signal. But I do not see a MIDI input option in Soundbooth's Record dialog box. And when I check audio levels, nothing shows up in the dialog box. I checked my Recording Control dialog box and MIDI/Synth is selected.

I think you need Adobe Audition. Soundbooth I believe is strictly Audio waveforms capable.

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.

Simultanious audio output from both mini Displayport and Audio Output port?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if someone who already has audio+video output through the mini displayport set up can be so kind and answer the following questions for me:
Can audio be output simultaniously from 3.5mm audio port as well as the mini displayport? That is, if I output both video and audio to my reciever through the 2010 iMac's mini Diplayport, can i use the standard audio output port to provide line input for a further set of (active) speakers (analog would be fine)?
In the case both outputs CANNOT work simultaniously, which one will work if i have both plugged in? If the mini displayport has higher rank (or priority or what whatever i should call the one that works when both outputs are plugged in), and the reciever it is plugged into is switched off, will audio automatically switch to the standard audio port? Same question goes if the standard audio output port has higher rank/priority?
Many thanks in advance!
Just in case you are wondering why the heck i would wanna do that, here's some background:
I am planning on setting up my new 27' iMac on a 'work' desk in my bedroom, where i can comfortably sit and work on the computer as well as use the beautiful screen as my bedroom TV. Since i also wanna use my mac for all my living room multimedia needs (movies, tv shows, music, etc), i plan on running a long (15m) audio+video HDMI cable all the way up to my reciever in my living room. Furthermore, i am also planning on running a USB cable to the living room (through something of this sort: http://www.coolgear.com/images/171632pro.jpg) plugged in to a usb hub mainly for mouse/keyboard availability in the living room, but also for other things such as external hard drives and so on. The problem is that, apart from having my audio play in the living room, i also want to provide line input to my reference monitors that will be located at the iMac desk and i obviously much prefer i get the line input directly from the mac rather than running a third cable from reciever back to the speakers.

Anyone?
Is that so few people are using the new mini displayport for audio, or did i ask the wrong way?
Help will be greatly appriciated as i need this info in order to plan my purchases!

Recording from an Analog Device?

Alright, I have a line in Analog Tape device that can plug in to my line in port on my PC (Windows Vista Ultimate), and Soundbooth recognizes it. The only problem is, when I record, the audio is distorted because its too loud. So, I went to my Control Panel, and changed the Sound settings so that it wouldnt record as loud. However, when I went back to Soundbooth, it was still loud. I went back to my Control Panel Sound settings to make it even lower, but the levels were reset to maximum. I even cleared the checkbox Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device, but it didnt make a difference. Is there a way to fix this?

Are you adjusting the recording levels rather than the playback levels? Just checking.

Recording from external sound device not worki

Audio track recording with 2 MIDI devices on Channel Spitter

I now have a turn table set running through XLR cables into an M-Audio interface, and than into a USB Hub which runs into the MacG5.
I've got the Channel Splitter Track hooked up, and I am now tryin to record 2 MIDI Devices and an Audio track (from turntables) at the same time. Is this possible ?
I've gone into the Audio Drivers and Hardware window and messed around but with no success. Do you have any advice for me ?
I am very new to this so step by step would help alot. Thankyou.

I've tried that, and what happens is the Instr track is picked up and recorded but I'm getting nothing from the audio track.
It seems that the Logic wants to read the devices one at a time. Meaning, I can get it to read the audio interface but not the Midi, or the Midi and no audio. It will not read both at the same time. ( when Logic is picking up the audio interface I can see that it's getting a signal from my midi devices but I'm getting no sound, and nothing is being recorded from the midi devices).
I have a feeling that I've done something wrong in the Audio Hardware and Drivers window.
Thankyou again for your time, I'm detirmined to learn this system. You've been a big help.

I do not see a way to separate audio channels to edit them separately in Premiere Elements (any version).
Premiere Elements does have audio effects including Balance, Fill Right/Fill Left, and Swap channels, but that is not what you are seeking.
I would refer you to an audio editor such as the free Audacity for what you want to do.

But, the opportunity seems to be in Premiere Pro, not Premiere Elements
Please review and consider and then let me your thinking on the matter relating to your Premiere Elements 12 (what operating system).

Recording from Stereo

I have a Pavilion g6 Product no. QG871EA#UUZ running under Windows 7. I have installed Audacity and I want to record vinyls and tapes running on my old Sanyo Stereo. It has a phono input, a video input (47k ohms), speakers output (40 W x 2 at 8 ohms) and headphones output (8 ohms).
- Should I connect the speakers output or the headphones output to the notebook?
- On the notebook, should I use the audio-in (microphone) jack, or some other port?
- If I do this, will Audacity work and give me an output which I can copy onto CDs?
Thanks for your answers and any basic tips.

Hello Johninch,
Exactly - use the headphones jack out of the stereo to the audio in (mic) jack of the notebook. I have done this in my own personal life - not with this notebook, but an HP desktop, and Audacity to record cassette to a wav file.
Good luck!

How to download (contacts) records from a device?

I've noticed that iSync only syncs information of records that exist on both Mac and device (unless the option is chosen that the records on the device should be fully replaced by the Mac's contents) and updates missing records on the device. However, it does not update missing records on my Mac. So if John and Mary are on my Mac and John and Suzy are on the device, Mary will be added to the device, any info on John that has changed will be transferred to the Mac or the device according to which changes were latest, but Suzy will not be imported from the device to my Mac. But that's what I want it to do, too!
So basically - how can I import records from a device to my Address Book for pete's sake?! (I use a Motorola Pebl, but I'm aiming to discover the general trick, if it exists that is - which it should.)
Many thanks in advance!

Ok, the weirdest thing just happened...
I wanted to follow your suggestions, but backing up my phone's contacts is not possible (at least not without a lot of fuss googling feeble third-party apps, which I loathe). So I went on backing up and erasing my address book trying to d/l everything from my mobile.
And what happened? A few seconds after erasing every record, the records that are only on my mobile suddenly appeared in my address book! It's like it only now discovers there are some records imported. Very buggy, that feels. Well, I think I'll manage from here, but it would be nice if this sort of thing would not happen...

5.1 (pseudo) mix from HDV stereo audio

I have done lots of research on this....and the folks in the encore forum have helped me figure out how to render my 5.1 mix to a Blu-Ray disc.
However now I have an editing issue....
I used the Adobe tutorial on how to setup a 5.1 sequence....I setup a new 5.1 master sequence, and told it I want 6 5.1 channels. I then copied the same audio track to each of the 6 channels in the project window. If I use submix channels, I guess you don't get the front/rear puck per the tutorial so I need 6 masters? It is clear that you need to choose 5.1, but not so clear on if you are importing stereo audio, how many master and submix tracks to setup.
I want to take my stereo channel mix, and "spread it" across the 5.1 sound stage. I know this is not true 5.1, but I don't care. I have done this with a much lesser NLE and if the rear channels are low, it provides a nice mix.
I think I am missing some of the steps though....do I need to separate my stereo captured HDV audio into mono or just leave it as stereo???
And regardless, once I had my 6 channels, and moved the pucks around, it was not outputting 5.1 to my PC speaker system. It is a 5.1 setup with a Creative X-FI titanium sound card. I do get 5.1 during editing from my other NLE.
I have read all the help files about choosing my audio hardware betweem WDM sound and Creative ASIO. However neither choice provides me audio out of my rear speakers during editing.
I then read that I need to setup my audio output mapping....and I need to "Drag the desired sequence channel tile into line with the desired hardware channel in the list." However I only have Speakers listed twice....and they only appear to be left and right.... Even though I have 6 audio channels in the sequence and a 5.1 sound card and speaker setup.
So the questions are:
1) What do I need to change to hear 5.1 audio during editing.
2) For what I am trying to do, should I be splitting my captured audio into mono channels or leaving it as stereo.
3) How do I setup my 5.1 sequence in order to achieve my goal.
I apologize if this is something simple. I have done the reading and research and cannot get it to work...
I feel like I am pretty close to being able to transition to this much more powerful tool. The video side is pretty straightforward. However I am having issues on the audio side.
If this was CS4 and a photo question, I could probably answer that!!!
Thanks,
BJBBJB1

Bill,
I typically do not resurrect old threads but there is so much good stuff here, I could not see starting a new thread!
I have been using this pesudo 5.1 technique with great success! However, the constant issues I have with transitions and having multiple audio tracks is really weighing on me. I am constantly creating audio sync issues when I insert transitions, or nudge an audio track by mistake, etc..
I am wondering if you have had much luck with any approach that limits the number of audio tracks.
Something I am toying with is having a 5.1 master track and feeding it my straight stereo input. Then moving the puck about one third of the way back from the front soundstage, and then using the center channel control to boost the center to a good level. This gives me a bit of a rear channel, a stereo soundstage, and I can control the center channel. Of course I cannot apply a delay to the rears using this method, but that is a minor loss.
However I do miss the very discrete mix for the front, center and surround of the other method. So is this the best I could do given my current goal of limiting the number of audio tracks on the timeline?
If I could feed two or three submixes with one stereo track source, that would be nice and allow me to do what I want with only one stereo track on the timeline, but I don't think you can do that can you?? If you could keep the puck available on the audio track that then feeds the submix, that would also help. But as soon as you assign a track to a submix, you lose the ability to control the soundstage for that track. All control passes to the submix unless I am missing something.
The bottom line is any time I have 2 or 3 audio track copies of my original audio source spanning an hour or more, it gets unwieldy. I am okay using additional audio tracks for music or sound effects, as they are short in length.
As always, any ideas most welcome!
Bill

Can someone tell me step by step how to record from audio tape to mac book with the help of xitel import deluxe

Can someone tell me step by step how to record from audio tape to mac book with the help of xitel inport deluxe system.

QT 7 Pro - Volume of audio is very low when I record from a microphone.

Possibly someone can help me here, I am trying to record audio using a microphone and QuickTime Pro. I want to put this audio on my Nano.
I cannot get the audio volume up to the level of existing imported audio programs when I record a audio program using QTP and a mic.
I have already tried to set the microphone volume to a higher level. In the Quicktime Program I set the Menu/Edit/Preferences/Quicktime Preferences
I then go to the Audio tab, select audio recording and playback devices, select "audio playback and recording devices" and set the volume slider on the microphone to high, go to the advanced tab, set the microphone to boost, still I get a very low volume.
When I record using the Windows Sound Recorder I get a high volume, but the output is a wave file and the quality is not as good as I really want. But clearly the microphone and driver work. I have tried updating the driver, still get low volume for my recorded audio.
HP DV1000 Pavilion Laptop Windows XP Conexant AMC Audio Driver

So you use an RCA cable going into what before it hits the MBP?
EDIT: Also in System Preferences > Sound > Input > you can select the input & adjust the volume accordingly as long as it's plugged in.
