Recording from external sequencer

I have a Korg O1/W and I cannot get Logic 8 to slave to it. It is seeing the midi events in the transport window but the transport will not go into record mode when I start the sequence on th Korg.

Hi
You have tried this the wrong way. Nothing will be recorded into Logic if you have disconnected the Sequencer Input in the Clicks and Ports layer in the Environment.
Try again in a new project (ie one with the Environment set up correctly).
You will end up with one track that has all MIDI channels recorded on it. You can then use Edit:Separate MIDI Events by Event Channel to split it up.
It is possible to set Logic up to do this automatically by a multi-stage setup process:
A) Assign each tracks in Logic to the desired MIDI channel in the Track Parameters in the Inspector
B) Use Settings:Recording:Auto Demix by channel if multitrack recording
C) Record arm all the tracks and record.

Recording from external source

I am brand new to Mac / switched from pc a week ago. not able to figure out some things yet and havent found answers in support. mostly on the basic stuff. like I was able to record audio from a lp turntable on a pc. it looks like there is no recording program built in to the iMac, or am I wrong? will I have to purchase some type of software to record from external record or tape source?

Sorry some heavy-handed moderation has been going on here. I accidently duplicated my post when I edited it to say 'Welcome to Apple Discussions'. Then I asked the mods to remove the first post above and they've gone and deleted my second post and yours; I am sorry about that.
You posed a question about Real Instruments in the absent post. A Real Instrument can be a microphone input or any device that connects to the Audio-In port (or a USB/Firewire Audio device).
Hope that helps.

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 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:

Can't record from external microphone

I have a 17" Macbook Pro from Jan 2012 and I can't get an external microphone to work. Initially I tried a cheap Sony microphone with no luck. So purchased logitech headphones. They have 2 jacks, one headphones, one microphone.
I've tried it with Word for Mac and Quicktime (selecting line-in)

Hi,
This is about the format or "Style" of the Audio that these mic produce.
Microphones are normally in one of two Groups:-
1) lo line-in which PC can make use of.
2) Hi Line-in devices which Mac use.
Many PC compatible Mics just don't work on Mac using the standard 3.5mm jacks
The Griffin iMic provides one solution to this.

Trying to record from external source, no region created...

Hey everybody. Trying to record into Logic. My aim is to record sets from Ableton but at the moment I am just trying with a simple microphone. I have set my audio record path to a folder on the desktop. I have created an audio track and chosen its input source: stereo input 1 & 2. The track is armed for recording and there is a good level showing. My soundcard is outboard. A Mackie d.2 Firewire Mixer. When I hit record I get the red display along the timeline of the arrange window, the playhead moves but no region is created. When I look in the Audio window there is no file showing there either. When making tracks ordinarily with Logic I never have any problems bouncing stuff and the audio interface is always recognised. The same applies when Ableton is working in rewire. I get a signal easily enough as its routed via my mixer same as with the microphone. Funnily enough I can record into Garageband no problem but as I have Logic its about time I got to the bottom of this. I bet its something really simple I have overlooked. Anyone got any ideas?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Just to add some further info... what it does seem to be recording are midi input messages when I slide the crossfader of my mixer. A region is created but when I click on it the matrix edit window opens... no audio in sight. What am I doing wrong?...

How can I monitor audio that I am recording from external source?

I am recording music from LP records (vinyl) and need to be able to listen to it while recording. It is impossible to know when a track is finished if you can't hear the music from either internal speakers or headset. Is there any way I can passthrough the sound from line in to internal speakers or headset?

Look at LineIn for audio playthru.

Recording From External Mic

I am trying to record sound from an eternal mic and the Mac does not receive input from this device. I have selected the line-in input in the sound menu. What am I missing?

Having input is one thing. Next you need an application like Audacity that will take your voice input and make it a recording.

To transfer time events from external time recording system to sap r/3

hi all,
I have a task to make an interface program between external time recording and sap r/3, and then to transfer the time events from that external system to sap system with the help of an rfc, i have got some information like the data first has to be transferred to the table CC1TEV and then from this table the data will be uploaded to 2011 infotype with the help of a standard program, but i am unable to find a solution for making the interface program and the RFC or BAPI which will transfer the records from external system.
if anybody has any information on this plz help me out to solve this problem.

Which recorgding terminals using to capture time events? They should have give some guidelines about this?

Macbook Pro recording sound from external radio

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how I can record an external digital radio with my Macbook Pro. As a backgrounder, I am able to do it on my old white Macbook because it has a line-in port, so I just connect a 3.5mm cable from the radio to the Macbook and then I have software (Audio Hijack Pro) to hijack and record it.
However, as we all know, the new Macbook Pros have done away with the line-in port. And the Sound options in System Preferences don't seem to have a function allowing me to fiddle with the headphone port (apparently, earlier models had a function in System Preference that allowed you to turn the headphone port into line-in) but this new model doesn't have that option anywhere.
So I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether the USB ports or even Thunderbolt can RECEIVE sound from an external device such as a digital radio. I have seen cables that are 3.5mm to USB so I think getting the cable to connect the radio to the Mac is possible, but will it actually receive the sound or just do nothing? Or is there some other way I can record an external device I'm not thinking of, bearing in mind I don't want to use the Mac's microphone to do it, as I will of course get all other ambient sound in the room at the time, and I don't want to rely on an internet stream of said radio.
Thanks,
Joe

What if it was a digital radio, would that make things easier by way of using just a 3.5mm to USB cable? Especially because a quick search of a USB Audio Interface brought up some expensive results.
Also, as a possible alternative, after some extensive research online, I've found an iMic USB Audio Device by Griffin that is essentially an adaptor with a USB cable on one end and a Line In port on the other, thus allowing me to connect a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable from the digital radio to the adapter, and then the adapter goes into the MBP USB port. It's on Amazon and it claims to function as a way to plug microphones and other external audio equipment to it. It seems pretty straightforward, which sometimes has me thinking it's too good to be true.
The output from your radio is analog, regardless of whether the radio is 'digital' or not.
You need a USB audio interface. The iMic is a USB audio interface.

How to get the Runstate variable of an external sequence called from the Client Sequence through Sequencecall?

Hi,
I need to change the runtime high and lo limit values of all the tests of the client sequence file before running it. My sequence file is having a SequenceCall which calls an external sequence. Can anyone tell me how to change/access the High and lo limit values of the external sequence test steps?
Thanks,
Jeyan

Doug,
I used the property loader method but I could not load the limits of any sub sequence call calling an external sequence file.
I took the FlowRate_test.seq example from the NI Example folder "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2.1\Examples\PropertyLoader\LoadingLimits\LimitsFromExcelFile\UsingCVI". I created a sequence called PumpTest.seq in the same folder path. I then moved the Pump Test step from the FlowRate_test.seq to the PumpTest.seq. Now created a sequence call in the FlowRate_test.seq and called the PumpTest.Seq as the module path. When I execute the FlowRate_test.seq , I get the error as shown below:
Attached is the Flowrate_Test.seq and the PumpTest.seq which should be there in the folder path "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2.1\Examples\PropertyLoader\LoadingLimits\LimitsFromExcelFile\UsingCVI".
Let me know whether I am doing something wrong in this method.
My idea is to alter the runstate variable High and Low of Pump Test in the PumpTest.seq and then run the Flowrate_Test.seq.

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..].
Did this help?

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.

Can't record from timeline.

Running latest ver of FCP Studio universal binaries edition & need to do a crash record from the timeline back onto deck for a guide tape for director to time his narration/commentary. Project is in HDV 1080i 25fps (work in UK)and I've had a huge headache the past few days trying to Print to Video too. Our deck is Sony HRV-M15E. This is what I've been doing so far -
I set playback to Desktop cinema preview, View>all external frames, I press rec on deck, then Mark>play In to Out but each time I am just recording black. I've tried setting device control to both Sony 1080i firewire and SOny HDV firewire, but still no joy...My project A/V settings have all been HDV 1080i firewire (capture has been fine) but I finally got Print to Video to work today by changing device control to Sony HDV (which is a separate option). It took about an hour to conform a 22min sequence with only a few filters (all slo-mo) and all rendered & audio mixed down. Also I set the quality to low & it still took this long! Is this normal?? (First time working with this HDV codec). Anyway, I just want to knock off QUICK!!! lo-fi copies of programmes so the director can time his commentaries and recording directly off the timeline is what I need. Judging by my searches on this forum on HDV PTV probs I guess I'm not alone on this. Advice much appreciated, Alex.

There is no way to just knock this off, quick...without a capture card. That will allow you to monitor your timeline in RT out to a deck. If you have the footage as Native HDV, and you are recording to an HDV camera or deck, the ONLY option you have is to PRINT TO VIDEO...and wait for the footage to conform. No way around that.
And you need to set playback to FIREWIRE, not DIGITAL CINEMA PREVIEW. DCP sends a signal to your MONITOR, not deck.
If you had a Matrox MXO, you could output simply by pressing record on the deck and play in the timeline. The quality wouldn't be FULL rez...for that you'd need to still conform (so Matrox tells me), but it will be pretty darn good.
Sorry man....HDV is a beast to deal with.
