Recording into MacBook Pro.

Recording into MacBook Pro. I currently record vinyl records from phonograph into 2008 MacBook Pro Yosemite OS using the audio input jack on the MacBook. The new MacBook Pro doesn’t have an audio input jack. How can I record from the phonograph into the MacBook? Can I use something like the Behringer Audio Interface into a USB port?

You will have to look for hardware and software to connect to a USB port.  (I am not familiar with Behringer)
Ciao.

  • Trying to transfer LP into MacBook Pro using ADVC300

    Using MacBook Pro OSX10.6.8. Just hooking it up for first time in a few years. Panasonic SA-HT70 Audio-Out into ADVC300 Audio-In. Set for analog in.Firewire cable from ADVC300 into Firewire INto MacBook Pro-no sound transfer. I've tried importing sound into Garage Band, Audicity, Analog Ripper, but nothing has worked so far. The Mac apparently isn't reading the Firewire connection from the ADVC 300. Suggest alternatives please. I've used ADVC 300 for Video-AV transfers before using "Capture" on Final Cut, but this time all I'm wanting to transfer is the LP---no video. Thanks.

    akl8806,
    If you have a 6-pin male-to-male Firewire cable the easiest way is target disk mode.
    Start up your MBP holding down the "T" key until you see the firewire logo.
    Connect the Firewire cable to the MBP and then the iMac.
    The MBP will show up as a external hard drive on the iMac. Go to MBP's Drive/Users/Your username/Music/
    Copy the iTunes Library to the same place on your iMac's drive.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

    Are you saying you're running Windows in BootCamp or Windows as a Virtual Machine? You can increase the fan speed on the Mac using smcFanControl and use the software OGELTHORPE recommended to observe improvements.
    smcFanControl is a Mac application and doesn't work in Windows, but if you set a higher minimum fan speed (which is how smcFanControl works) while running OS X, when you reboot into a BootCamp partition, that minimum speed tends to be carried over.

  • Plugging Guitar into Macbook Pro 13'' - Audio Interfaces

    Alright, so I've done a fair bit of research but there just seems to be so much to read out there that I figure it may simply be easier to post this here and see what kind of answers I get. Anyway, I want to plug my guitar and record some stuff on my macbook pro (13-inch, core-2 duo) and i'm running Snow Leopard. I'm a pretty seasoned guitar player, but I'm not looking to do the heaviest and most intense recording here, I simply want to be able to decently record some stuff onto my mac. I know with my macbook it has a dual audio input/output jack, but I don't exactly want to plug in through the input though because I want the output going into some speakers, and using the input jack really isn't the greatest (especially when I'm plugging into just an electric guitar). So my options appear to be using an audio interface, but first question is whether or not I should be looking at USB or Fireware connections. Secondly, I read some stuff about the Apogee Jam thing (which is usb) and is reasonably priced, along with M-Audio Fast Track (also usb) and is a little higher priced. Basically I'm looking for something that is reasonably priced (as I'm not professionally recording here) around the $100 range, but produces a pretty solid sound quality, and works fairly well...the best bang for the buck, if you will.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I also have an amp that I could use that has a headphone jack which I can plug the guitar into the amp, and the amp into the computer (but again, it seems as though plugging into the input really is not the greatest call).
    Thanks very much!

    I also don't need an audio interface with any additional sound patches, or effects, etc. I have more than enough to do that with my own equipment. So, an audio interface with a lot of effects is definitely not a priority.

  • Capturing directly into Macbook Pro + tape

    Is there a way for me to record a live event on my Canon XHA1 (onto mini DV tape) while simultaneously pulling the footage into FCP7 on a Macbook? (using the laptop as a recorder)
    With Firestore devices still ridiculously expensive, I'm wondering if this is an option.

    Got this to work! *Here's how:*
    Connect the XHA1 camera to the Macbook Pro via Firewire (Fire 400 out of camera, into Firewire 800 on laptop -- using an adapter since the new Macbooks only have an 800 port).
    Turn on camera and open Final Cut Pro 7.
    *Final Cut Pro settings (under Audio/Video Settings):*
    Sequence Preset - HDV - 1080i60
    Capture Preset: HDV
    Device Control Preset: HDV Firewire
    Click Log & Capture.
    Start recording onto tape in the camera.
    Start Capture Now.
    You're now recording to both tape and the laptop simultaneously. If you stop the camera recording, the laptop will continue to capture without a glitch.
    BUT -- if you start the camera recording again (tape) while you're still capturing to computer, your captured file on the computer will have a glitch.
    So glad this works ...

  • SPDIF straight into macbook pro/logic?

    I've been trying to run an effects unit with spdif out into logic on and off for some time now, with no success. I had been using a firepod, which theoretically has spdif ins, but i was never able to get audio into logic with that method.
    Is there a way to get spdif data directly into my macbook pro and bypass the audio interface entirely? (I'm a little new to digital audio recording stuff.) I'm going to be returning the firepod to it's owner soon anyway and picking up an apogee duet...which as I understand does not have SPDIF inputs.
    The piece of gear I'm trying to interface with is the fractal audio ax-fx. I believe it needs to be the master on the spdif clock and only outputs at 48kHz.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Oh, OK, I stand corrected Pancenter - I had no trouble doing what I did with it and I have s/pdif connections on domestic equipment (TV/hifi) that require nothing more than plugging them together! Presumably the toggle in the Firebox/Firepod control panel provides the necessary clock sync but, as I stated, I don't know how the digital in/out on the MBP works (I was hoping someone like yourself would clarify!).
    CM,
    You may have been in luck and the digital clocks were so close together that you didn't suffer any noticeable artifacts, either that or your units auto-synced. If the digital clocks on both units are very close to the same frequency digital noise can be minimal, still, the audio has lost some integrity.
    Let's say this is taking place at 48kHz, unfortunately each unit's digital clock is not exactly 48kHz. One of the most noticeable artifacts is a slight ticking noise, another will be a small pop, tick, or sizzle that occurs randomly.
    The Master device is almost always the device sending the digital signal, the receiving device is set to external clock and runs off the clock signal embedded in the s/pdif, ADAT or Optical stream. The other way to do it is using a Word Clock generator so that all studio devices sync to the same clock. That's usually the best option as it's the most stable, jitter free method of sync.

  • What do I need to connect mixer into MacBook Pro 15"?

    Hi all -
    I just finished a presentation I was doing for 250 people who work for me.
    225 were in the large ball room and 25+ were participating via WebEx using VoIP for audio.
    I told the A/V company at the hotel that I wanted to take an output from the mixer (where all mics AND computer sound was going into) and put it into my "line in" jack on my MacBook Pro.
    This (I thought) would allow me to take everything being heard in the ballroom (microphones AND audio from my laptop) and pump it directly into my line-in and thus over my WebEx that would carry the audio via VoIP.
    Well we didn't get very far because during set up I opened up System Preference and selected Sound, Input to test the Input Level... nothing. They tried a bunch of things and then finally came back to me and said I really needed a pre-amp mixer or something to "power" the signal into my line-in.
    Does this make sense? I did a bunch of searches and found a lot of people talking about USB audio interfaces... is that what I need to hook my Macbook Pro up to a mixer in the room?
    I want to ensure this doesn't happen again and am willing to pay for it. Any recommendations on portable devices that will help me accomplish this?

    They could mean something like this small ($25) pre-amp I use one to raise the signal in from a vinyl deck and it would work just as well for other low level analogue signals I think.

  • Installing New Hardrive into Macbook Pro 13" and can't boot

    I have installed a new 500Gb 5400rpm drive into my macbook pro 13. Before I swapped the drives I used time machine to back-up onto my Lacie drive. Now the new drive is in. I turned on the computer, pressed the option button and nothing came up. I have now put my old HD into an enclosure and booted up from that drive. I copied my whole hd over to the new drive once it was formatted and tried to boot but this didn't work. I thought once I had the time machine back-up on a drive I would be able to press option when I turn on the computer and then that would workj. I don't have my OSX 10.6.8disk so am now just booting up off my old hd which is pointless. Can anyone help as I am losing my mind.

    What happens when you install the original HDD in the MBP?  If it does not boot , the connecting cable may be faulty.
    Ciao.

  • Possible to swap ibook G4 dvd drive into macbook pro?

    My unibody macbook pro's dvd drive has stopped working. Whenever i put in a dvd in, it just gurgles and tries to churn the disk to no avail. I was wondering if it were possible to harvest the dvd drive out of my old ibook g4 and put it into the macbook pro.

    AFAIK, the drives are of a different height...thus that iBook drive won't fit.

  • Thumb Drive write protected after plugging into MacBook Pro

    So I recently plugged my 64GB thumb drive into my MacBook Pro to transfer music from my old mac to my new one.  Although as soon as I plugged into the MacBook Pro, it write protected it rendering it useless as I do not wish to use it as a storage drive for 60 songs!  It is not even 1/2 full and because I plugged it into a MacBook Pro I can't use it anymore!?  It is formatted to MS-FAT, and previously I had plugged it into my 09 MacBook with no problems!  Please help me Make it a read and write again!!!  The thumb drive is only a week old!!!  There are no virus' as I have had the music on my Mac for 5 years and it has all come from the iTunes store!!!

    Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu, open the Disk Utility, and try running the Repair Disk command on it. If that command’s not available or doesn’t work, copy your files off and try getting a replacement.

  • IPhone 5 getting really really hot when plugged into MacBook Pro Retina?

    Hi
    I have had my Macbook for about 1 month and I recently discovered that my phone is getting extremely hot while charging through USB port.
    I was not sure if it was my phone as I was having issues with volume buttons, so was not sure if I had some dodgy software or something. So I went to the apple store and it was replaced as it was actually a hardware issue.
    But then with my new replacement iphone 5 I am still having the same issue of the phone becoming unbearable to touch because it is so hot!
    Does anyone know if there is an issue with the Macbook Pro Retina's giving out too much power and whether I should go and see someone about the issue ? But in the mean time is it still okay for my phone to be charge this way?
    Thanks
    Elle

    You said:
    "So far so good on the iPhone but it does not appear to be charging when I have it plugged into my MacBook Pro."
    My iPhone charges when connected to my MacBook.
    "FYI...the Edge Network out here in Wichita (of all freaking places) Kansas is pretty darn fast. I was really, pleasantly surprised. It does not help my heartbreak over moving to this burg from Sausalito but it helps a little."
    Even data is anxious to leave Wichita, it seems .. and wants to linger in Sausalito

  • Vinyl records to MacBook Pro?

    I have a good turntable, a MacBook Pro and a bunch of vinyl records that I want to digitize. Could anyone please tell me what I need between the Turntable and the MacBook Pro?
    I'm sure it's been covered here before and I'm sorry for repeating the question, but I couldn't find the answer buried in all the posts! I searched six ways to Sunday and didn't find what I need. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    If your turntable doesn't have an inbuilt preamp, you need something that will take your turntable output, amp it and apply the RIAA eq curve. Then this output goes in to your Mac (you'll need some adapter cables) or your interface. Some interfaces already have an input for this (Inspire, for example) and so does the Mackie Big Knob.
    Something cheap like this will do:

    although there are more expensive ones out there.
    Finally, check out ClickRepair. Great software for removing clicks and thumps.

  • Can I swap hard drive from my Macbook (10.5.8) into Macbook Pro (10.6)?

    I have a white Macbook from 2007 (model A1181, 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo, OSX 10.5.8 installed) which I upgraded with a 500GB hard drive. I now have Macbook Pro (model A1278, 2.53GHz, 10.6 fresh install from disc, 250GB hdd).
    I would like to swap the 500GB drive from the Macbook into the MBP so I can transfer over all my settings and apps. Will that upgrade work? If not, what's the best method to perform this upgrade so I can restore my system on the MBP? I use TimeMachine and SuperDuper to backup my Macbook if that matters. Thank for any input!

    No, once you put the older MacBook drive in, if it even fits, you can't transfer to the new one because it's not physically in the MacBookPro anymore.
    And the MacBookPro may not be able to read a 10.5 boot disk if it shipped with 10.6.
    They are not backwards compatible when trying to boot from an older machines drive that probably doesn't have the correct drivers to run on a MacPro.
    First,
    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk in case you have some directory corruption.
    Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job. Better, run DiskWarrior if you have it.
    After that Repair Permissions.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
    Then use Target Disk Mode and Migration Assistant to move settings and data.
    Make sure all your apps. are 10.6 compatible. I would trash any plug ins also.
    I followed this routine and had no troubles.

  • How can I upload DS2 recording to MACbook pro?

    Olympus DS2 is not supported by Lion; how can I upload things I've recorded on DS2 player to my Macbook Pro?

    In as much as the DSS Player software is only compatible with a Windows PC you need to either install Windows on your MBP via Boot Camp or use virtualization software like Parallels to install Windows.  But you knew that when you bought the DS2.

  • Line-In Recording on Macbook Pro

    Okay, so I just recently purchased a new MBP, and occasionally I like to record acoustic guitar via cable to the laptops built-in input. For some reason whenever I record the input is very low and hardly audible unless I crank up the dial on my mic settings on the guitar itself, which doesn't produce a clear sound. This happens in both Logic and GarageBand, and I've made sure that the Line-In input volume in system pref. was set to max.
    Before I got the new macbook pro I had the 1st Gen which recorded fine, does anybody know why the new ones do this?
    Thanks

    No idea, they may have changed the input somehow.
    Something like this would work better for you:
