Recording LP track to

I'm a new user and followed Creative's help instructions for converting a vinyl recording. When I try to play the track on the PC to confirm it was recorded, I get nothing. Any idea what I may be missing? I'll appreciate any ti
ps.
For clues on what might have gone wrong, here's what I did:?Connected turntable to receiver/preamp (7o db S/N ratio), turned both on; Connected receiver/preamp to PC audio line in; In Creative MediaSource Player 2.02.06 (CM), selected WAV stereo option; Selected CM Analog Mix (Line/CD/Aux/Tad/PC) as Source; Clicked CM Play button, then CM Record button; Set turntable needle at start of track (CM showed recording in process as music played through my PC speakers); Clicked CM stop and raised turntable needle at end of track; Entered file name, title, and performer; Clicked CM Play mode; Clicked CM start arrow to play selected new recording; Heard nothing.
?I'll appreciate any help, getting me started on a project to transfer my LPs to CDs. Thanks.Message Edited by DalFlorida on -8-20060:43 AM

Thanks for your help.My procedure may need to change, but when I play the LP a track at a time, I click stop at the end of the track and lift the turntable needle. CM then asks me for Filename, Directory (defaulted to C: . . /My Music/), and Track Info (title, artist, genre). I planned to organize my LP recordings on the PC by album and track. My guess was that Filename would be the album name and track titles would be the names of each song title. But if I use album name for filename and record the second track, CM insists on a new filename or will overwrite the first recording. I could set up a folder for each album,?and the filename could be the track title. But then it seems I will loose the opportunity to store more indicati've info about the album and title. I notice that naming a new playlist for each album gives me the chance to store by album and track title, but then?I am unable to transfer that info to the?My Music folder where I might later burn the recordings to a CD.Wha?

I record multiple tracks (3-5) from real instruments and vocals. I want to send these files to a collaborator to add more tracks to, but Garageband wants to mix these down (which I don't want). How can I send the multiple tracks files to my friend?

I record multiple tracks of real instruments and vocals wth Garage Band. I want to share the file with a collaborator so he can add another instrument or two. I have not found a way to do this without the process mixing down the tracks. I don't want them mixed down like when I send them to Itunes. Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes. I thought I saw a method to do this with software instruments, but how do you do it with real instruments? I've tried every process on the "export" list to try to accomplish this, without success. Thanks for any breakthrough advice on this!

As isteveus said - for large projects uploading to a server would be best.
Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes.
But for completeness's sake , you cou can mail a project, if you ctrl-click the project and use "Compress xxx.band". This will compress the project and create a zip file, that you can mail (if it is not too large). But ask your friend for the maximal file size allowed as a mail attachment.
But whichever method you use to share your project, be sure you include all loops and instruments, if your friend does not have the same JamPacks installed. You can bundle the loops into the project by saving it as an archive. "File > Save as" and check the "Archive Project" option.
If this option should be disabled, you can force it to become active by editing your project slightly. It is only available, if the project needs saving.

Why can I only record 2 tracks at a time ?

Until a couple of months ago I could record 10 tracks at once without a hitch. Then something happened and suddenly I could only record 4 tracks at a time. Now I can only record 2 tracks at once. My logic is completely legal and I'm running a Mac Book pro 2.4 Ghz core 2 duo, 2 GB.
I posted this same questions a couple of months ago without any reply.
I desperatly need help.
Best regards
Kristjan

Not RAM related.
Record tracks have to be set for individual inputs.
If all your tracks are set to record on inputs 1-2 or Mono 1, Mono 2 you will only have two inputs.
Make sure Universal Track Mode IS selected in Preferences/Audio and that you indeed have the correct audio driver selected. Now go to your tracks and see how many inputs you have available. If you're recording mono tracks set audio tracks 1 and 2 to record using inputs 1 and 2, Audio tracks 3 and 4 to use inputs 3 and 4, stereo tracks will use both inputs.

Garageband is not picking sound from builtin mic (rMBP). I recorded some tracks, now it is not working. All other apps can use the mic. Monitoring is switched ON at GB, it picks sound only some other app, eg. Skype, is used to access the mic.

I have foud the solution - rather stupid. The system setting for audio input was at 70%, increasing it to 100% solves the problem!

What's the best way of recording drum tracks onto garageband?

I usually use garageband to record acoustic tracks, but I want to get some drums involved. The drum kit software on garageband isn't great and pretty difficult to use with just the macbook keyboard, should I get some kind of USB keyboard or drum kit software from elsewhere? If there's a good keyboard for this purpose could someone link me up, because I'd also like to involve a bit of piano/synths in my recordings.
I should also mention that I'm a student and am therefore on a pretty tight budget!
Cheers!

Yes, i suggest you to use a MIDI-Keyboard, even a small one (like my M-AUDIO KeyRig25) is good and fun to use. It's also better to use some specific Audio Plug-Ins which you can use in GB. There are many freewares around.

'disk too slow' problems when trying to record ONE TRACK on my ibook.

okay- help guys. my new ibook freezes after not even a minute of one track live recording and i ge the disk too slow error. i'm using a basic m-audio usb interface with the internal (4200 rpm) hard drive. i know this isn't a fast hard drive, but SURELY. one track? i've been in touch with m audio, reinstalled driver, repaired hard disk permissions. still no good. i only ever need to record two live tracks at a time, but then i do need to stack them up a bit. is my ibook really incapable of that? i'm shocked if it is. anyone want to buy an ibook?
any advice much appreciated as i'm going out of my mind.
happy christmas,
adam gilhespy

Adam:
You haven't given a lot of info, but here are a couple of ideas:
1) What sample rate are you using? You should be at 44.1 or 48 kHz. Don't even think of anything higher.
2) Are you recording in a new arrange window? Or are you overdubbing to existing tracks? If so, freeze all your existing tracks.
3) Are you attempting to use any plugins while you're recording? If you are, turn them off for now.
4) How much RAM do you have installed? You need at least 768 MB; more preferably.
5) You're going to need an external drive eventually, but to record one track should be easily done.

Trying to record multiple tracks (24) in Garageband with 3 presonus firestudio devices daisy-chained together.

Please help !! I can record multiple tracks (8) on a single presonus firestudio, but now I'm trying to expand the number of tracks to 24 by daisy-chaining three firestudio devices.
The three units will sync up properly, and Garageband detects all of the input channels, but the recording doesn't pick up the input signals for the 2nd or 3rd device. It only picks up the signals from the first device. I read the manual and daisy-chained the devices by serial number (lowest to highest).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

you'll need to create an aggregate device:

How to record multiple tracks together?

Ok, completely new to garage band, but I don't see why this is so difficult to figure out. I get how to record a track, and then play it as a loop. But how do I then record something new WITH that loop, so that the two tracks play together (and not just record over it, deleting the first track). For example, how can I record a rhythm part on the guitar, stop it, hit the loop button, and then record a solo over it? Everytime I try this it either records over the first recording (deleting it), or even though it looks like its recording when I stop and hit play I am still only hearing the first track. Very frustrating...
Thanks!!!!

You create a second track for the solo and record to the second track, then play both tracks together.
Use the "Record enable" button in the track header to enable only the solo guitar track for recording, once your rhythm loop has been recorded.

How can I record 2 tracks simultaneously in GarageBand for iOS?

I am trying to record 2 tracks at the same time, one, a line in for my guitar and the other a vocal mic. I am using an Alesis i/o Dock with my iPad Air 2, everything is updated, and everything is plugged in correctly. When I select either track from the multitrack screen, I can see that both work appropriately. However, when I hit the record button, the screen goes from the multitrack view to the track that is 'highlighted' and the record process goes from there. So if the 'amp' (guitar) track is highlighted, the app take me from the view with both on it to the 'guitar amp' selection, showing the head that I selected. Now, in the past, I have recorded 2 tracks at the same time. I still have the original recording showing both tracks and their settings. Even when I try to match the setting (both were on Left Channel, for example) it doesn't work. On my recent attempt to record (the one this question is about) I put the mic track on Right Channel and the line in on Left Channel, and vice versa. I tried putting them both on the same thinking that maybe that's what I did before because the app might not be able to do both Channels at the same time. I tried using the Mic track in stereo and the Line In on Left and tried it on Right; nothing. Has GarageBand taken this feature out on iOS? I do see if I had a Mac there is an 'Enable Multirack Recording' box to check, but I don't see anything like that for iOS... Can anyone help??

in one the YouTube Tutorials, it is not possible in iOS. but hopefully in the later version it should be.

I can only hear my record enabled track when recording,not when just playing

This has to be a simple one - normally I can hear my record enabled track when playing back or recording but suddenly i can only hear it when I am actually recording. I must have accidentally selected an option i am unaware of - can someone please help!
Thanks

In case anyone is also stuck I went to Options->Audio where there is an Auto Input Monitoring option. I turned it off and it fixed my issue.

Any ideas on why my tracks are not in sync.? e.g. record one track, then 2nd track (clapping hands on downbeats). On play back, hand claps aren't even remotely on downbeats????terribly frustrating

Live recording 16 tracks

I just got 2 firestudio projects and im recording 16 tracks live at my bands shows. im using an intel 8400 processor 3 gigs of ram and aa3. everything starts out nice and about 15 minutes or so in, aa3 just stops recording. is there something im doing wrong? please help this dumb dumb and thanx

Don, did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same problems and I'm going to try out these solutions later today to see if any of this works. Here are some other things I'm going to try...so, I've made a list of things for me and others to check when using daisy chained 2x FSP's and audition.
I'm using a dell laptop. so it might be different for people using a different setup, but here are some things I've collected over forums.
1. Disconnect from the internet. (one of the most important and overseen solutions i've concluded)
2. try using onboard firewire or a Firewire "only" card. (people say the firewire/usb combos dont work too well with FSP)
a. Also using a Texas instruments chipset firewire only card
3. Try disabling the onboard usb ports
4. close out all unnecessary programs
5. make sure that when you right click on the record button on the transport, it's set to continuous record.
6. Turn off any screensavers or anything running on a timer or background.
7. try disabling onboard sound card
8. Make sure all firmware and drivers and software are up to date. (winxp users might want to toy with upgrading/downgrading from sp2/sp3)
Let me know if anyone can add to this. And remember, I'm not an expert on this, I'm just regurgitating what I've seen on the presonus forums and here as well as experienced myself first hand.
Thanks,
Ben

Recording 16 tracks and play movie on Macbook pro

Hi
Has anyone experience with recording 16 tracks 24 bits and play in the same time a movie on a new Macbook pro 2,16 on a secondary screen ?
On my G5 it's no problem.
Thanks
G5 2.3 DC Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hmm... I do recall there was some kind of external USB2 video input device. I think it was from ATI though i may be mistaken. One of there All-In-Wonder devices.
Regardless, such devices do exist, though they are likely only composite, S-Video, or F-Connecter based, and will likely have some form of latency issues.
You may want to look around to see if there any form of ExpressCard capture devices. The ExpressCard slot is is capable up fill PCI Express speeds around 2.5Giga bits per second, so I suppose it does have sufficient bandwidth to capture say Component or HDMI video. Though I'm not sure if such a device even exists.

Help with recording 2 tracks at the same time

Basically I recently purchased an Audio Interface (BEHRINGER XENYX Q802 USB) and I'm having trouble recording multiple tracks at the same time while using it.
When I set up 2 MONO tracks in my DAW (one using input 1, the other using input 2) all that happens is that I get a recording of one mic over both tracks in my DAW.
This is probably a beginner post and I have looked it up on YouTube etc. but it just doesn't work for me... Maybe it has something to do with my Interface, but any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Pancenter,
Unfortunately I don't have the manual as I purchased it from a friend who failed to provide me with the Manual.
But thank you for answering as this was what I needed to do.
Many thanks

Trying to record multiple tracks at once with Mixer (Two Microphones)

I have a Alesis Multimix 4, and two microphones plugged into the mic 1 and mic two inputs. I am trying to record both, at the same time, to two distinct tracks. I set Device Class to ASIO in the Audio Hardware section, and delected ASIO4ALL v2 for the Device. My mixer (I assume) is showing up as USB Aduio CODEC in the ASIO4ALL settings. When I go back to my multitrack setting, I am given four options for incoming audio:
Audio Front Mic Input 1
Audio Front Mic Input 2
USB Audio CODEC 1
USB Audio Codec 2
No matter what combination I try, when I record, both tracks pick up both microphones. My goal is to isolate both, so I can apply different settings to both tracks later on, adjust in the mix etc... The audio only comes through when I pick the USB Audio option. Thanks in advance.
Brett

I think you've got the right driver selected, otherwise it wouln't work at all. The single most obvious thing to ask you though (I'm sorry if this is too basic) is where you have the pan controls set to? To get each mic to record on a single channel, you'd have to have one panned hard left and the other panned hard right. If you leave them both panned dead centre, that's exactly what you get - both mics on both channels.

I am getting an Narration error that I can't record because one of the record-enabled tracks is locked in the timeline. What does this mean and how do I get out of it??

Thanks for the update.
There are several Adobe Premiere Elements Forum threads about situation such as the one that you have encountered. Typically they are the results of some heavy activity in the narration track. Some have found success in maneuvers between the Expert and Quick workspaces in versions 11 and 12 or Timeline and Sceneline workspaces in versions earlier than 11. That is why I mentioned that type of factor in a prior post in your thread.
If that is not working, then we are forced into the new project where the problems in the current project are not presenting.
I will do a search for the threads that I am recalling about your type of issue. But, right now all roads seem to head to the new project. But I would ask "Can you salvage this project by creating your narration clips in Audacity or a new Premiere Elements project and import them into this project, putting the clips on one of the numbered audio tracks?"
If the problem should reappear in the new project, please let us know including the details of what was going on immediate before the problem surfaced.
Thanks.
