Recording from an external mixer in GB (line in)

Dear everyone,
Now I have succesfully managed to record into GB from my external mixer. But the problem is that it stops recording when it has recorded about 999 seconds, or something like that. Is it possible to anything about that?
Any kind of help appreciated!
Best,
Christian

Equium L20-197: No line-in jack - How to record from an external audio source

Hi,
I'm generally very pleased with my Equium L20, but am now finding a few annoyances that I guess are cost-cutting issues. For instance, there's no onboard mic, so need to buy one for Voip purposes. And I would like to use this laptop to record from an external audio source, but now discover that there is no line-in jack, and it seems the microphone jack is mono only, even if it was possible to configure the audo card to use this for line-in source.
I'd be very grateful if anyone has any ideas for a workaround perhaps using a USB port.
TIA
Keith

Hi R2D2,
Thanks for your quick reply - it set me on the right track and I've been googling for similar solutions available in the UK. I've since found this product - http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/9326 and redhawk has pointed me at something by Creative Labs which I'll try and track down.

How to record from an external source

I recently bought a hp envy 17" and I cant figure out how to record onto this laptop. I have to jacks on the left side, one with an icon of a headphones, the other with an icon of a headset. I want to be able to take input a stereo jack to record into one of these and record into a program like Audacity. Under device manager it says I have an ATI High Def Audio Device. How do I record from an external source? Thanks.

@toolchic, first make sure that in the IDT HD Sound properties [right click the IDT ICON near the clock, which says "Controls IDT Audio Settings" on mouse over the icon], and choose "Open Audio control panel".
Next choose "Recording > Settings". Here choose the input you want to record with. In your case choose "Integrated Microphone Array" on the top left. Click "Settings" just bellow, slide the bar to "10db boost" on the right, and slide the recording level bar about midway up [at the bottom of the window where all the volume controls for all recording devices are].
While you/re there, it's a good idea to mute the "External mic", and mute any other recording device that you do not need. Next, click the "Processing" tab below the settings tab, and choose "Reduce noise". Leave all the others unchecked. for these will produce a not so nice sound. This helps to eliminate fan noise and other background noise in your recording.
Now when you open your preferred digital audio program e.g.. Audacity [it's free and pretty easy to use, see link below], you can choose the INTEGRATED MIC ARRAY in the recording options. Choose that and then "arm" the track for recording [Usually an icon with R in the recording controls] Next click "record" to begin recording. Of course these steps depend on the digital audio recording program you're using.
If you don't have a dedicated digital audio recording program, and if you have windows 7 or vista, you can record long sessions with the default Microsoft recording program [this program is useless in XP, for it only records for like a minute or so, maximum!. A dedicated program such as Audacity records depending on how much hard drive disk space, or close to that.
@fritz, in essence, input jacks of most current notebooks, external computer mics are mono, but they use a stereo mini jack [or 3 band, if I understood you correctly]. These are the same as regular earphone jacks. One band is signal, one is earth, and the other is +5 Volts to drive the condenser [these are known as "condenser mics"]. But if you use a dedicated studio type recording mic, then you need a dedicated preamp, and if it is a condenser as apposed to a dynamic mic, the preamp needs to supply what's known as "phantom power" [typically 45v] through the input jack where the mic is plugged into.
However, if you record from the mic in/line in jack of a line out of say a mic preamp, channel mixer deck, CD/DVD/TV etc., then this has to be a stereo mini jack [has 3 bands]. Special cables with 2 [stereo] RCA jacks to mini jack are the ones to use. That is if the line out connector of your recording course is RCA [your typical TV/CD//DVD audio / video out or in are RCA connectors e.g..].

Audio monitoring- external mixer or Mac line-out?

Is it preferable to monitor audio from FCP through an external mixer (Mackie 1202) or is it OK to simply set output to the Macpro line-out?
(I notice the Bars and tone peak at -12- which reads as -10 on my mixer.
For some reason i have always been used to setting my peak at 0 on the mixer
So I'm confused if i should forget the external mixer all together- and just turn it on for the rare occasion I import analog signal)

The main reasons for using an external analog mixer like the 1202 are:
1. if you need a level control for your monitor speakers.
2. if you have other analog sound sources that you want to mix in with your computer output
3. if you need to need two headphone outputs for a voiceover session
For most activities, you don't really need it.
However, monitoring from your headphone output, whether it goes through
a mixer or not, is not the best choice for computer audio.
The best way to monitor your computer's audio is with a Firewire audio
interface, taking digital out from FCP, and using high-quality converters
to convert it to analog. Something like this:
http://www.mackie.com/products/onyx820i/
The meter on your 1202 is for analog signals. Typically you set those
levels to be about 0dB on the Mackie's meter, which should correspond
to +4 dBu on your main analog outputs.
The meter in FCP is for digital audio. On that meter 0dB represents the
absolute maximum, with no headroom, so you'll want to keep your levels
around -12dB, more accurately -12dBFS.
Since the headphone output is not pro, it would make sense that
-12dBFS = -10dBu. In other words, your headphone jack's normal
analog output level is lower than the normal pro audio +4dBu.

Recording sound from an external mixer

Im looking to record a dj mix straight from my mixer (djm700) into my imac without using the external mic. What cables and programs do i use?.
Thanks

ps, i only have usb sockets and a headphone socket

Why does it take so long to start recording from my external drive?

I know the question its a bit long, I just wanna know why does it happen, or better what can I do so it stop happening...
I mean when Im recording using the drive from my macbook, it would not delay to start recording, but when Im working with the external drive and put it to record it takes like 40 seconds before its starts recording...
Im still learning so, please someone reply this concern ...
thanks

+Im working with the external drive+
Are you 100% sure that your external drive is formatted to Mac OSX Extended, with journaling off? (NOT FAT32 or NTFS) Select the disk and press command-I to find out.
If not, _back up all the data on the drive_, and reformat it using your Disk Utility (Utilities folder).

How do I record audio from the Headphone out of TV to Creative player/recorder.
Not sure which input on Li've Dri've to record to.
Rex.

If you're recording from an external source, you would generally use the line-in connection. Make sure you check the mixer settings when you're recording to make sure it's set up correctly.

Problem recording from external l

I'm new here, I have a SB Audigy 2ZS, and I want to record from external line to my PC.
I use a external mixer to connect cassette, mics, long plays to the PC, and I connect them to SB Audigy from "Input line". And I use the mixer to amplify the PC. When I want to record the "surround Mixer" software thas not permit select a simple record input, it mixer all lines (wave, CD, CD digital, input line).
That produce a terrible feedback. Are there some way to record only from input line, without switch line by line?
Thanks
Mduque

Just click on the speaker icon under the volume controls in the mixer. Having said that it is not really necessary as I am unable to detect any hum by leaving them open. I suspect you may need to reinstall the card.

Recording from LINE-IN problem

Hi at all,
I have a problem with recording input audio coming from LINE-IN of my pc.
I looked up on google and on this forum to find something useful but I found nothing. If I try to access line-in I get exception: Line unsupported.
I found a discovery code to find what I have on my pc:
ArrayList<Mixer.Info> mixerInfos = new ArrayList<Mixer.Info>(Arrays.asList(AudioSystem.getMixerInfo()));
Line.Info portInfo = new Line.Info(Port.class);
for (Mixer.Info mixerInfo: mixerInfos) {
     Mixer mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(mixerInfo);
     if (mixer.isLineSupported(portInfo)) {
          // found a Port Mixer
          System.out.println("Found mixer: " + mixerInfo.getName());
          System.out.println("\t" + mixerInfo.getDescription());
          System.out.println("Source Line Supported:");
          ArrayList<Line.Info> srcInfos = new ArrayList<Line.Info>(Arrays.asList(mixer.getSourceLineInfo()));
          for (Line.Info srcInfo: srcInfos) {
               Port.Info pi = (Port.Info) srcInfo;
               System.out.println("\t" + pi.getName() + ", " + (pi.isSource() ? "source" : "target"));
               showControls(mixer.getLine(srcInfo));
          } // of for Line.Info
          System.out.println("Target Line Supported:");
          ArrayList<Line.Info> targetInfos = new ArrayList<Line.Info> (Arrays.asList(mixer.getTargetLineInfo()));
          for (Line.Info targetInfo: targetInfos) {
               Port.Info pi = (Port.Info) targetInfo;
               System.out.println("\t" + pi.getName() + ", " + (pi.isSource() ? "source" : "target"));
               showControls(mixer.getLine(targetInfo));
     } // of if

Thanks for the reply..
I read the article and followed the example...but, I get:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No line matching interface TargetDataLine supporting format PCM_SIGNED 44100.0 Hz, 16 bit, stereo, 4 bytes/frame, little-endian is supported.
     at javax.sound.sampled.AudioSystem.getLine(AudioSystem.java:459)
     at entrypoint.MainEntry.main(MainEntry.java:133)Is there a way to list all available audio formats ? I wonder that does not exist a simple method to get them.
Follow my code taken from above example:

Recording audio from an external dj set up

I have an old G4 desktop which has a 24 bit soundcard installed so I was able to plug in RCA jacks straight from the PCI soundcard to an external dj set up and record to my hard drive. I now have A G4 Powerbook -15" and I need to know how I can record to the hard disk from my external dj set up since there is no pci slot soundcard. Is there an 1/8th " cable to RCA for this?
rrrrr

Ralphie,
There is an 1/8" to RCA wire out there. It is available at Circut City, Good Guys, Guitar Center, Radio Shack, Wal Mart, Target, Car audio places, maybe even Sav-on's and Thrifty's or your local grocery store. It would be the wire used to connect an iPod or Discman to your DJ setup.
I am unsure which model PB you have but, I'm pretty sure all G4's have an Audio line in. You can use the wire to connect your DJ setup to your PB. But, you also need recording software...I'm pretty sure you already knew that. Most likely you can use the same software that you were using on your old Desktop. If not, you can use Pro tools, Pro tools free, Logic, or any other recording software. There are some availible for free at Apple.com and Versiontracker.com.
Hope this helps

Zen Nano Plus: Line in recording from micropho

I've got a Creative Zen Nano Plus and was very happy about its ability to encode MP3s from the line in jack.
Since the integrated microphone is not very good for recording (especially loud music) I tried to connect a microphone to the line in jack. Unfortunately I had to recognise that it doesn't record anything no matter if "Sync Track" is on or off.
I'd be glad if someone can tell me what exactly the problem is. Do I need some kind of special microphone (I read somewhere that it has to be "pre-amped", whatever that may mean) or is the line in jack designed for just recording from devices like a CD player? Help is very much appreciated. :-)

Big bump.
I did some research quite a while ago and thought that I should report the results for people also having that problem.
A line-in jack is not a microphone-in jack. The difference between them is that the former is not supplied with electricity, so it can't power simple external microphones on its own. Thus, a real microphone-in jack is needed, though none of the Creative products has one included. You will still need a pre-amped microphone to get recordings with proper volume, though. A good and cheap solution is the Archos Stereo Microphone that comes with a preamplifier including volume adjust (http://www.archos.com -> Accessories -> Audio accessories).
Microphone-in jacks can be found for example in the iri'ver iFP-7** and iFP-8** series. Since this players are discontinued and newer models don't have these jacks, it's kind of hard to still use that feature.

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.

Recording from external mic while recording music from internal device?

Not sure where to ask this? I'm rather new to MAC. I was under the impression GARAGE BAND would be able to record my vocals from an external mic while playing an audio either from an internal mp3 or CD? I don't see how if so?
I simply wish to record vocals over an instrumental song from mp3 or CD, but I am unsure how to do this on my IMAC? On my old PC, I was able to just use WINAMP to play whatever audio while recording my vocals over it with COOL EDIT? Is there some thing I'm missing here? Can I do this with Garage band or what do I need to get to do this?
Also, I've plugged my external mic in, went into my preferences to set "audio line in" and it doesn't pick up my voice? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hi Wil3,
Best place would be to ask this question in the GarageBand forum which you can find here:

Hi.
You simply can't. Snow Leopard is compiled in Intel binary only.
Good Luck.
