Recording from vinyl and normalizing?

Hey everyone, just signed up as I use this quite a bit and thought I'd firstly say thanks to everyone for putting that effort in and being helpfull.
I have been recording my old vinyl collection (Old Skool Garage woo!) and have been normalizing the recorded regions in the audio edit window through the factory drop down menu. The parts are always highlighted and has been working fine. (also read about normalizing and how its not cool to use it, but its a habit and will have to read up more before I stop!) Anyways, this particular recorded audio region will refuse to be normalized and I'm just wondering if anyone had any pointers.
Thanks again in advance,
Bill

Thanks for the quick reply,
I tried the search peak function but couldn't find any, I have 4 different audio regions that have been cut up from one take. All of them won't let me normalize them. I have used the same arrange window to record the tracks before these. I have just been deleting the audio once I have bounced them then recording the next one....

  • Mac Mini, Audacity and recording from vinyl and CD

    I'd like to record some of my vinyl and CD collection but I've tried following the Audacity instructions but I can't get them to work. Either I don't seem to have the right Line In / Line Out or I seem to have everything right but it just doesn't work.
    I play my vinyl and CDs on separates that are hooked up to my mac via an R8 Jack (?). Is it possible to use audacity to record from them?

    Hi, what is an R8 jack? Do your devices output Line level?
    Audio in/optical audio in port ...
    The Audio In port accommodates both digital optical input and analog audio input.
    Analog audio line input is accepted through a 3.5mm mini phone jack. The sound input port accepts line-level stereo signals up to 24-bit stereo 44.1-192kHz sampling rate. It also accepts a stereo miniplug-to-RCA cable adapter for connecting stereo equipment to the computer.
    Optical audio input is SPDIF format and uses a standard TOSLINK cable with a TOSLINK mini-plug adapter, accepting up to 24-bit stereo and 44.1-96kHz sampling rate.
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

  • Importing from vinyl and tapes

    I am about to buy my first iPod, a shuffle. What is the best way to import music from vinyl records, and cassette tapes? How do I do it exactly?
    A lifetime of music and recrded material to be transfered.
    Thanks.

    One way is to connect your Turntable/Cassette deck (through the Tape out sockets of your amplifier) to the audio in socket of your computer. On the computer you'll need audio editing software to capture and edit the resulting long file into individual tracks that can be added to the iTunes Library. There are a number of commercial programs for this (I use Sound Studio for the Mac but there are Windows programs). If want to try out the process first you could try the open source program Audacity which has Linux, Mac and Windows versions at this link: Audacity
    In addition to the software you'll need RCA to 3.5 mm audio plug cables to connect the Tape Out sockets of your amplifier to the audio inputs of your computer. There's a short guide to recording here: How to record from vinyl and cassette to a computer also from the BBC Copying Vinyl Recordings to CD
    If your Mac or PC hasn't got an audio in socket you can have a look at the Griffin iMic which connects to a USB port and comes with some software of it's own: iMic USB audio interface

  • Removing pops and clicks in MP3s recorded from vinyl??

    I have some mp3s recorded from vinyl. I would like to know of any good software to take those mp3s and remove any pops/clicks/noise. I'm willing to pay for some good software. Please let me know what to look for, as I've never used any software to alter my songs.
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    Hi
    There is a very good free-ware program called Audacity which has quite a good noise removal tool. You first profile the noise by selecting a section of just noise then get it to remove it, works quite well. As for clicks and pops in the old days when I used to edit quarter inch tape if you recorded a vinyl at 15 inches per second onto the tape you could actually edit out the click or pop with no discernible gap in the music. With audacity you could zoom right in and cut the clicks and pops out laborious I know. But trying to filter them doesn't work very successfully unless you are prepared to throw very large sums of money and use one of the devises or software made by somebody like Cedar.
    Audacity can be found at VersionTracker.Com

    select m.accid,m.title,d.dr,d.cr
    from master m, detail d
    where m.accid=d.accid (+)The outer join operator (+) will get you all the details from master and any details from the detail if they exist, but the master details will still be got even if there are not details.
    Note: Oracle 10g now supports ANSI standard outer joins as in:
    select m.accid,m.title,d.dr,d.cr
    from master m LEFT OUTER JOIN detail d on m.accid=d.accid

  • Performance problem with selecting records from BSEG and KONV

    Hi,
    I am having performance problem while  selecting records from BSEG and KONV table. As these two tables have large amount of data , they are taking lot of time . Can anyone help me in improving the performance . Thanks in advance .
    Regards,
    Prashant

    Hi,
    Some steps to improve performance
    SOME STEPS USED TO IMPROVE UR PERFORMANCE:
    1. Avoid using SELECT...ENDSELECT... construct and use SELECT ... INTO TABLE.
    2. Use WHERE clause in your SELECT statement to restrict the volume of data retrieved.
    3. Design your Query to Use as much index fields as possible from left to right in your WHERE statement
    4. Use FOR ALL ENTRIES in your SELECT statement to retrieve the matching records at one shot.
    5. Avoid using nested SELECT statement SELECT within LOOPs.
    6. Avoid using INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE. Instead use INTO TABLE.
    7. Avoid using SELECT * and Select only the required fields from the table.
    8. Avoid nested loops when working with large internal tables.
    9. Use assign instead of into in LOOPs for table types with large work areas
    10. When in doubt call transaction SE30 and use the examples and check your code
    11. Whenever using READ TABLE use BINARY SEARCH addition to speed up the search. Be sure to sort the internal table before binary search. This is a general thumb rule but typically if you are sure that the data in internal table is less than 200 entries you need not do SORT and use BINARY SEARCH since this is an overhead in performance.
    12. Use "CHECK" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
    13. Use "CASE" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
    14. Use "MOVE" with individual variable/field moves instead of "MOVE-
    CORRESPONDING" creates more coding but is more effcient.

  • Fetching record from table and displaying in JSP while loading page -struts

  • 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.

  • Recording from Vinyl Tapes to Zen Visio

    1 ) Is it possible to transfer music directly from my Vinyl Cassettes to Zen Vision M (60GB)?
    2) Can I use External mic for voice recording instead of inbuilt mic?
    Any special accessories required for the above tasks and their availability (Creative or otherwise)
    R D SAMANT

    You will need a digital audio player with a line in to be able to record from tape or from vinyl or any other external source. Vision M does not have this. Ditto for an external mic.
    The JB and JB3 have line in capability. JB3 is still a favorite of the taping community.
    I also use one in my turntable setup, recording to it from an amp output. This is a VERY convenient way of digitizing my old vinyl.

  • Recording from vinyl directly onto m

    Had a quick look thru the FAQ's and didn't see an answer to this question, but apologies if it has been discussed before.
    I've heard that it's possible to record an analogue signal (in my case vinyl records from my hi-fi) directly onto a Creative mp3 player. is this true? One one external website they mentioned that the MuVo can do this - all that is needed is an adaptor for the Creative line-in jack to accomodate the standard input from a hi-fi amplifier...
    Would appreciate any tips, advice etc on how to do this, which Creative models support this and any extra hardware/software required.
    many thanks

    I don't think that recording direct to the player- is this what you're talking about?- is the best way to go.
    Personally, I would just go and download the albums you have- owning the vinyl makes it legal for you to download the song from a peer to peer network.
    If you're hell-bent on transferring them, going table to computer is the way you'll want to do it. Now, if I'm not mistaken, a phono signal isn't a perfect line-level, so you'll need to compensate with the recording level on the computer. Unless you have a top-of-the line sound card with RCA jacks connected to a dri'vebay component, you'll need a /8'' to stereo RCA adapter, which you can find at almost any electronics store that carries adapters.
    In my opinion, the best program to use to record audio is Audacity, which you can download for free at http://audacity.sourceforge.net . Audacity will let you export directly to MP3 after you point it in the direction of the LAME encoder's DLL, which is included with many players. Chances are you have one of them already.

  • Recording from vinyls

    I have a turntable connected to a pre amp connected to the audio line in port of my imac. The signal is good as you say - but likewise no sound.
    Have you found out how to get sound output?
    I want to record my vinyls - do you have any tips on digitizing and recording? I don't know where to start.
    Do I use Garage Band - if so how? If I use Final Vinyl - downloaded free - do I need a griffin iMic?

    Margaret
    You can achieve what you want by using Sound Studio. It is shareware, but not very expensive. I have been using it for quite some time now.
    All you need to do is connect your turntable to the preamp, then connect the line-in cable to your Mac. Open Sound Studio and one of the options is to listen while recording.
    I tried just about all the freeware software before deciding Sound Studio was the way to go.
    Once you have your tracks in Sound Studio, you can export them to iTunes for burning to CD.

  • Listening to Line In Audio/Recording from Vinyl

    I'm not sure where exactly to post this, but I'm guessing it is a software issue with OS X. I was just given an old record player (Miracord) and receiver (harmon/kardon 330c) and I've got it all hooked up correctly (or so I think, record player > receiver > Tape Out RCA > RCA to 1/8" jack cable > iMac Line In). Under "Sounds" in system pref it does show some volume being I play a record. I play a record and hit record in garageband and Audacity I hear nothing but it does record and on playback it sounds like it is supposed to. Why can't I hear the audio as it is played through the line in imput? Also any thoughts/tips on recording form vinyl on a mac would also be appreciated. Thanks.
    Dave

    Hi Derato!
    You are doing it the right way, as far as I can see, and exactly the same as I did getting some old family recordings on tape cassettes on to my hard disk for burning on a CD.
    In Audacity, did you click 'monitor input'? Otherwise you won't hear a thing!

  • Recording from Vinyl

    Hi,
    I have an iMac 2 ghz running OS 10.4.6. I'd like to record some vinyl albums on my computer so that I can play them in iTunes or convert them to CD. Years ago I did this with some RCA cables hooked up to my computer and my amp and a little program called Coaster. That was back in the days of OS 9. Now that I'm running Tiger, is there a good piece of software, preferably freeware that will do the job. Maybe GarageBand does it?
    Sincerely,
    Jim

    If you are after something free you could try Audacity. However I would recommend Sound Studio, it's an excellent audio program for the Mac and will save in AAC, MP3, AIFF and a number of other formats. You can download a trial version here: Sound Studio

  • A.A. 3.0./ Want to Record from Soundcard1 and listen from another Soundcard

    Hiho,
    I Got 2 Soundcards which are installed. a Terratec Phase 22 Recording Soundcard (1) and a Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Music (2).
    It would be nice if Adobe Audition 3.0 would give me the Sound of the Creative Soundcard but Record from the Terratec Soundcard. The problem is that if i choose the Terratec ASIO driver Adobe takes away any option to use the Creative Soundcard. If i use the Creative driver, the Terratec Soundcard isnt displayed anymore.
    2 Screenshots to understand what i mean:

    help would be great. please excuse my bad english, like you see at the Screenshots im from Germany.

    ASIO can only use one sound device - that's an ASIO system limitation, not an Adobe one. The only way around this is to use an ASIO to WDM converter, and the only one that's usable in this context is ASIO4ALL, which fortunately for you, is free. At least this way, you will see both cards as being available, but there is a limitation in that you will only get whatever inputs and outputs are available via WDM, and this is often limited to a stereo pair per device.
