Recording Live Concerts from Soundboard (Macbook 2012)

Hey there, new to the forum. Decided to sign in after discovering and reading on here that my Mac was built with out the option for input on the headphone jack. So I have an external sound card for home recording but I am looking for the easiest way to use my mac to record live shows. I could use te external sound card but I would like a direct input option as the more equipment the more impatient sound guys can be.
So I am wondering if you guys have any advice. I know the imic is an option. What about an rca to usb recorded with logic? I don't know, if anyone has solved this problem I would love to hear what you did. I am hoping to not have to buy a bunch of things for trial and error...
thanks

GB is not the best choice, an audio editor would be a safer bet for "unmanned" recording:

I'm not too concerned (right now)about mixing, tracks for each instrument, although I would like to know if that's possible
if you only send a stereo signal to the mac, then, no. you'd need an audio interface that offers multiple channels, and of course you'd have to send IT multiple channels.
...but right now I just want to plug the output of the soundboard into my Macbook and record the entire show

I did put the master track info or something to "rock- live gig".
don't, all effects affect playback only, you'd just be adding unnecessary draw on the CPU without any change in what's recorded

How to install Windows Live Essentials 2012 without updating Live Mail from 2011 to 2012?

Hi!
The title pretty much describes my issue: I'd like to install the Movie Maker from Essentials Package 2012. The installer would like to update my Live Mail from 2011 to 2012, which I don't like.
Any suggestions?
Best regards
Werner

Recording live audio from a Bus

Hey,
So what I'd like to do is record audio from a bus directly into an audio channel
I have a test oscillator in the input slot of an instrument channel
As you can see, the output is routed into bus 1
In order to process any audio that I have coming into bus 1, from any number of channels, I have bus one routed into an Aux channel, from which I can run any effects. Aux 1 (w/ Bus 1 in the input slot) is routed to Bus 2 (Bus 1 w/ effects from Aux 1)
As I said earlier, I'd like to record the audio from a bus, in this case Bus 2, into an audio channel so that I've got a continuous audio file. I figured the best way to do so was to create a record-enabled audio channel, with Bus 2 as the input, which I've done here
As the screenshot shows, the audio from Bus 2 is making it into the channel.
When I hit the record button, with "Audio 3", as the selected track no audio is recorded.
In other words, I can hear the audio, and I can run it through any processes, but I'm unable to record in a way that allows me to capture the live processing of the sound.
I tried googling the matter and some suggested bouncing the track the project, which should leave me with an audio file, in the bin, of the audio with any automated effects processing. Logic's stopped responding, with the mini "bouncing" window on the screen both times I've tried to do this- I'm not sure if this is a seperate problem, which I'll have to deal with at another time or if it's related to what I'm triyng to do.
In any event, has anyone come across a way to route the audio that would allow me to record this audio live, without resorting to recording only the effects parameters and bouncing?

Thanks CCT,
Checked the prefs and switched them to built in and it cleared it right up, but it did bring up another issue, because I don't remember ever switching it into the "none" position.
I'm working with a USB audio interface that I remove when not in use; possible that logic automatically reverts to "none" rather than "built-in" when I remove it, and can I make it so reverts directly to "built-in" when the interface is removed?

I want to record a live broadcast from my macbook pro?

I am watchng a live broadcast later today, and wanted to record it for myself. How do I do this?

You'll have to tell us whether this is an online broadcast or a TV broadcast, what you'll be watching it on, and how you're connected to its source.

Is it possible to Migrate Live VMs from a Windows 2012 Hyper-V Cluster to a different 2012 R2 Cluster?

At the moment I'm in a bit of dilemma because I know that Windows 2012 supports "Shared Nothing Live Migration" but recently I got to know that this feature is available for stand alone Hyper-V Servers. My Setup is that I have
3 Servers running Windows Server 2012 Hyper-v Failover Cluster and I need to migrate everything to a new cluster running on Windows Server 2012 R2 and offcourse some VMs can't be turned off during migration so I need to do this live during production hours.
Another note is that both clusters will be running on the different LUNs since each cluster has its own CSVs. I need to know if it is possible to migrate such VMs/Roles Live without have any downtime of the VMs/Roles?

Yes, but one exception - live migration works only on "compatible cpu's". There actually is a setting in CPU for forcing compatibility
mode. If that is not set, and you mvoe for example from AMD to Intel, then - this is not possible in live migration, cluster or not.

Recording live video from a streaming source

Hey everyone,
I'm very new to FMS and I have been experimenting around with it as a part of my job. I already have the encoder, FMS, and my AIR application all talking, so that portion is going well.
The problem that I want to tackle next though is to have the FMS server record the live stream to it's hard drive. All of the guides that I've found talk about how to make a DVR stream, but that's not what I want. I want to be able to have the live stream, and then separately I would like to have it recorded.
Thank you all for your time
- Patrick

Hi patrick,
                I have attached one fla with this thread. What you have to do is that, you have to change the path that i used in the rtmp portion of the fla. First of all, in the application folder of FMS, create a folder with your application name. Then you need to give the corresponding path in the rtmp portion. In the fla that i am sending to you, i used the following statement
                         nc.connect("rtmp://192.168.0.74/live_test")
You need to make change on this statement. Change 192.168.0.74 with IP addresss of system in which FMS installed and live_test with the name of folder that you created in the application folder of FMS. If you have any doubts regarding this, mail me on [email protected]
I am also new in FMS. But i have implemented it after a long time of research on it. Hope it will be helpful for you.
Regards,
       Sreelash.S.

Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.

If one records a concert on an ipad, is it backed up by the cloud?

I would like to use my Ipad 2 to record live concerts, recitals, etc. Will the cloud back it up?

Hey clifslo,
Great question! Yes, your iCloud backup includes photos and videos, however please keep in mind that your backup will depend on the amount of storage available. So you’ll want to make sure your iCloud account has a sufficient storage plan to back up large (and long) videos:

Is there way to Monitor Live camera from SCOM 2012 R2

Is there way to Monitor Live camera from SCOM 2012 R2 ?
Thanks
Raja R
Raja R

Depends what it is that you want to monitor?
If it's an IP camera that supports SNMP, you can monitor multiple components, depending on the manufacturer (e.g. # images captures, uptime in hours, ...).
If it doesn't support SNMP, you can monitor it through ICMP (ping). Then it's only possible to monitor the state of the device (up/down) depending on wether scom receives a ping reply or not.
If it's a coaxial camera or something else, not connected to a network, it's not possible to monitor the camera itself. Might be possible to monitor the computer/DVR that records the images.

Live editing from 2 video sources on macbook pro

Hi
I want to edit live video from 2 input sources, HD camera and RGB out from a video projector. Can anyone suggest firstly the way I would get both sources into the macbook and secondly what software I would use to edit on the fly. Possibly not edit but have 2 windows showing simultaneously on screen.
I know I can record the video onto the camera and record the rgb to the macbook then sync them later in final cut but I would like to do it realtime if possible to save time.
thanks

The source is a laptop showing a keynote presentation. I want to video the presenter and display the keynote in sync with each other on a split screen. As I said I can do this in post production but wanted to do it live to save editing as it is a process that I will be repeating many times.

Live recording : MOTU 8pre, ADAT, and Macbook Pro

I have a concert coming up that I'd like to record, and I'd be interested in any input from people that have done it.
Here is the gear I have
-16 channels of mic splitters
-MOTU 8pre with ADAT (from what I understand I can record 16channels in with that combo)
-Mackie 16x8 board
-Macbook Pro (dual 2.16Ghz Core Duo)
-1TB Firewire 800 Lacie Big Disk.
-and one person to run the computer off stage
Any thoughts? Could i be done, or am I asking to much from the Macbook Pro?
Thanks for the help

hmm.. I was under the impression when I bought it that it would do 16channels in, if I use my ADAT with it, connected with optical
From Sweetwater.com; "the 8pre also features two banks of ADAT optical ports, which gives you an additional eight channels at up to 96kHz"
Was I mistaken? That would kinda nix the idea if all I could get was 8 channels.

My 2012 Mac Mini came with a SSD and with Yosemite, can I add a SSHD and also migrate everything from a Macbook Pro that is running Lion 10.7.5?

Hi Apple Community,
Today I received a refurbished 2012 i5 Mac Mini that I purchased via Amazon. The Mac Mini came with a 256gb Samsung SSD only installed. The Mac Mini also has 10.10.2 Yosemite.
I am planing on ordering an "OWC Data Doubler Mounting Kit" to add another drive onto the Mac Mini.
(http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMM11D2/)
I also plan on getting a second drive which would be a 1tb SSHD Black Western Digital (16GB SSD) 2.5 SATA III (6.0GB/s) 5400RPM drive.
Now here is where I am a very confused and concerned. What I essentially want to do is use Migration Assistant to completely migrate what I have on a 2012 i7 Macbook Pro's 750gb HDD to the Mac Mini's 1tb SSHD drive. I want every file and setting to be placed on my new Mac Mini just the way it is on the Macbook Pro. The Macbook Pro is however using 10.7.5 Lion while my new Mac Mini is using 10.10.2 Yosemite.
What makes me confused is, if I migrate everything from the Macbook Pro onto the 1tb SSHD, would I still be able to benefit by having the 256gb Samsung SSD in the Mac Mini? For instance, would the Mac Mini still be able to boot up super fast and use the SSD to write and read programs very fast? Or is it because I am migrating everything from my Macbook Pro's HDD onto the Mac Mini's 1tb SSHD, my Mac Mini will not be able to use the speed benefits of the SSD?
Another concern is, will I be able to use Yosemite or will I be stuck with 10.7.5 Lion? I would only like Yosemite. I do not mine if Lion is removed from my new Mac Mini.

UPDATE:
Hi again,
I made more research on raid and now I am considering not to raid at all.
Raid0 seems extremely risky because I do not know how the SSD and SSHD would react together.
And Raid1 seems like it would not be able to function the way I would like to store my files. [The SSD is 256gb and SSHD is 1tb, there is no point in raid1]
I think I will just have to add the second drive and use it without raid. I will mostly save media files such as movies, pictures, and music. And for everything else, save it onto the SSD's storage.

Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 15' will not boot an external disk from a Mid-2012 MAcbook Pro. What should I do?

In order to simplify moving all my files from the previous mid-2012 macbook pro 15' when moving to my new late-2013 macbook pro, i superdup-ed the full hard-disk to an external ssd. Unfortunatelly the new mac resuses to boot from this external disk (i get the grey disk with a line over it). The external disk works just fine so if I boot the new mac from its internal SSD I can read/write the external disk without problems.
Old OS X is 10.9 as is the OS on the new mac.
What I need to do is to boot the new mac from the external ssd, use the same superduper to copy the external content onto the internal ssd.
How can I solve this issue?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you made a backup of your files with SuperDuper, use Migration Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) to transfer your files from the external drive > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html It will create a new user account with the transferred files, so you may want to merge both user accounts > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472
The Late 2013 MacBook Pro uses a special OS X Mavericks version which makes OS X compatible with it, and older OS X versions do not work with it. That's the reason why you cannot start up from the external drive created from the Mid 2012 MacBook Pro

I want to use my macBook Pro 2,2 (mid 2007) to display video being fed from a Canon 5D video out into the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3. Is it possible to input live video from another digital camera into the MacBookPro

I know that the built in iSight camera records video. I want to set up a Canon 5D video camera and feed the Canon's video output into the MacBook Pro so that I can use the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro to adjust the exposure of the Canon 5D. Basically I don't want to buy a vectorscope to have on set to make sure the picture is properly exposed and color balance is correct. (In your response it doesn't have to be the full scenario I've described. If you can just tell me if there's a way to feed live video into the MacBook and display it on the screen and possibly record it, then I'll figure out the rest.)

Dear Ben,
Thanks for your help. Apple and I dealt with this. It was an FCP, NOT Motion problem. As It seems you understand, we simply trashed my FCP prefs. Problem went right away.
Thanks. Do you live near Hammond? Played in a rugby tournment down there once. I was transformed.

I live in Chile and would like to watch movies from my MacBook to my JVC HD Television.. What cables do I need to purchase to do this?

You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter for the MacBook 4,1 and the iMac 8,1 and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13
(Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.)
You'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the Composite. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.
If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
