Recording preamp into line in jack on Mac

this may be a dumb question but could I run a 1/4 jack from my preamp's balanced out into the headphone size jack that has two inward pointing arrows?

Yes.

    Hi, do you mean a real Dial-up Modem as in the old days?
    As I recall, the Apple USB Modem won't work in 64 bit OSes, but there are others that will, I think this is one of them...

    Or is the Modem on the other end Cable/DSL/FiberOptic?

  • Nightmare recording audio into premiere pro with Mbox 2 Mini  Mac OSX

    I've adjusted buffer settings, power settings, and so on, not to mention watched two Premiere Pro tutorials on recording audio directly into Premiere that barely still apply, but adobe finds relevant enough to suggest.  I am using a Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini and an ElectroVoice RE20 Microphone.  If I'm lucky I get a clean track of audio for about 45 seconds before the audio begins to pop and crack.  In reading on Avid's forums this is due to a buffer issue, but I've since changed my buffer to every setting and still keep wasting time.  Does anyone have any experience recording directly into premiere pro cc 2014?, Anyone with an Mbox 2 Mini?, Do you have an audio box that seems to work perfectly with CC 2014?  If you have any insight on any of those questions, please comment below.
    I've tried everything I could find and read about online, but at this point I have to give up before I waste anymore time.  I've switched usb ports, maybe is a USB 3.0 with 2.0 device?, I switched power locations, plugs, protectors, and so on, even USB cables.... blahhh
    Specs:
    Premiere Pro CC 2014 8.1
    2012 Macbook Pro (Non-Retina), 16GB of Ram, dual internal SSD, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
    OSX 10.8.5
    Mbox 2 Mini, Firmware 1.4, latest drivers.

    Hi AbzZilla,
    I was looking up this post and found you've a similar problem...
    I was having the non-responsiveness with the above configurations in 'LE 7.4 & 7.4.2c (Mac-only), but I have now installed Pro Tools LE 8.
    Unfortunately I still can't get the MBOX2 to work with the Mac mini 2, but the MBOX2 USB status alights now [i.e. it's very bright and now works] on the MBP 17" ...all with Mac OS X 10.5.6! In all previous Pro Tools versions it confirms support for Pro Tools and the MBox, with the Mac mini:
    http://archive.digidesign.com/compato/osx/os.cfm
    So I too am 'stumped' as this is the brand new computer that I wanted the software to be operable on. I've swapped the USB cables (to check if it was a failed cable) and it looks like either a firmware clash or a USB-port power issue? I've also tried non-powered USB hubs... as it could be the later issue? So when I find my powered USB hub I'll let you know, ...if there's a change?
    Until then... I Iook forward to further posts in this thread!
    Thanks for kicking-off the discussion.

  • 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.
    Regards
    Keith

  • Line In jack Problems

    Ok so here is my issue, The line in jack in the back of my imac, for a while it was working, i have a mic and a mixer for my recording studio, until the other day it worked, but when i pug it in everything runs really slow garage band freezes, and it wont work any more on there, the rainbow curser comes on until i unplug it, and it hummm's really loud, now i also have boot camp with windows vista, when i plug it into it it also humms loud. It also flashes plugged in, then flashes unplugged, really fast between the two then i have headphones on and the sound will come out of the speakers on the imac,
    its acting like its pocessed. im so confussed if some one could help i would really be thankful
    Thanks Ricky

    I would guess it's a hardware problem with the line in jack, which will require a service engineer to deal with.
    You can plug a mixer into the jack, not a microphone by itself.
    A workaround would be to get an audio-USB interface and plug the mixer into that: the quality will also be better. Edirol make suitable ones, see also http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/Interfaces.html

  • Help please no luck recording vinyl thru line-in port on External USB Soundblaster Live 24bit

    Help please! I have connected LP turntable (I am assured which has preamp inbuilt) to line-in port on S/Blaster external using lead inbuilt from?turntable with white/red RCA plugs with a line -in plug converter. Then connected external soundcard?to the notebook USB-USB as per manual. I have tried Creative's Smart Recorder but it shows no sound coming through on Analysis (same with Audiograbber software too).

    Have you tried by installing www.asio4all.com drivers and then by using some?ASIO capable recording software as like Kristal, VSTHost, Reaper, etc (there are many others available)?jutapa

  • I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

    Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

  • Two Line-in jacks not working prope

    I have a logitech 5. surround sound system on my computer. Three cables, yellow, black, and green.
    A strange thing happens, however, when I attempt to get it working. I will plug all of the cables into thir color coded slots in the back of my sound card, but only the green line-in jack works properly. I can even connect the yellow or black cables to the green line-in jack and thos speakers will work.
    Solution to this problem?

    Have you set speakers to 5. on Creative Speaker settings panel (for some(/certain) reason/settings, setting speaker mode on Windows speaker settings panel won't 'open' those other output channels (#2 & #3) but only the channel #)?
    Also, if you're playing back stereo sources through multichannel system, you may need to enable CMSS processing.

  • Where in the hell is the Line-Out jack in SB24Bit

    I just got a new system with that card included and I obviously wanted to do what is normally always done and what I did on my older system with the SBLi've - plug in the speakers into the speaker jack and plug in my stereo system into the LineOut... but there doesn't seem to be such a jack on that card!!! What is this?!?!?

  • 16 channels of audio recording at the same time with a MAC BOOK?

    Hi,
    I want to know how many channels of audio I can record at the same-time with a MAC BOOK (2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB memory 120GB hard drive, Double-layer SuperDrive), firewire audio device and Logic Pro 8?
    You see I am aiming to record a live gig and I want to come into a firewire recording interface with 16 channels of audio all at the same time (24-bit, 44Khz) Does anyone know if this is possible? Or am I looking for trouble? No plug-ins will be used just record straight in. Anyone have some experience with this?
    Thanks.

    Ok, like this:
    Macbook - FW Port - FW Cable -In- MOTU Traveler -Out- External Harddrive.
    Firewire is capable of chaining units.
    Also plugged into your motu traveler will be an optical cable coming from the ADA.
    This will carry the 8 channels of audio it outputs.
    Also another good thing to do is to also have an optical cable FROM the optical output of your Traveler into the Behringer's input.
    That way you can sync the Behringer's digital clock to that of the Traveler, giving you a slightly better sounding signal that if you were to sync the traveler to the Behringer. This is simply because the traveler has a better quality digital clock than the Behringer unit so it's best to use that. To do this you just select "Adat input" on the back of the Behringer, and leave the Travelers sync to "Internal Clock". It is only a very very slight difference and you may not be able to notice the difference but for the cost of an optical cable it's worth doing.
    It will all make a lot more sense when you have the two units and the harddrive all plugged in.

  • Record video into finalcut  and audio multitrack into logic in sync

    Hi,
    I'm an experienced logic user but new to video.
    What is the best way to record video and audio multitrack!! synchronously?
    Can I record video direct to my harddisc and synchronously record audio into logic or soundtrack pro? We have two separate macs available.
    -Can I connect finalcut with logic via rewire or do I need additional sync hardware?
    -How can I start record simultaneously for finalcut and logic?
    -Do I need finalcut pro?
    -Can I record video and audio directly and simultaneously into soundtrack pro or finalcut?
    I currently work with a cutter who uses canopus but assign each video take to each audio take is so time consuming. There must be a better solution for video production.
    Any feedback appreciated,
    Thanks Eddie

    I may be wrong about this, but AFAIK…
    Can I record video direct to my harddisc and synchronously record audio into logic or soundtrack pro?
    No.
    -Can I connect finalcut with logic via rewire or do I need additional sync hardware?
    FCP is not ReWire compatible.
    -How can I start record simultaneously for finalcut and logic?
    You can not.
    -Do I need finalcut pro?
    Maybe, but I can't say one way or the other. What is your goal with video?
    -Can I record video and audio directly and simultaneously into soundtrack pro or finalcut?
    You can record directly into FCP, either via FW or SDI (if you have supporting hardware)
    I currently work with a cutter who uses canopus but assign each video take to each audio take is so time consuming. There must be a better solution for video production.
    Not familiar with Canopus, so I can't comment.
    Any feedback appreciated,
    Some editors find the term "cutter" to be an unfair characterization of what they do. We do waaaaay more than just cut out the bad takes!

  • Help using line in jack to play music...

    At the moment I have a record player hooked up to my iMac (10.7.1). It's connected to a pre-amp which then goes to the line in jack via R/C to 1/8th in cable. Under Audio in sys prefs I can see that the audio is recognized when I play a record. And when I'm in Garage Band I can turn monitoring on and actually hear the audio through my computer's speakers. What I'm wondering is this: Is there a way to us the multi-speakers function within iTunes to play music from this record player to my stereo speakers. I should note that I have an Apple TV hooked up to a stereo system in another room (using a wireless base station) and i normally play music in iTunes through the computer speakers and my stereo speakers simultaneously.
    Hope this makes sense and doesn't make me sound like a crazy person. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Glad to hear it helped.
    I don't have an Apple TV so I don't know what goes with it and what not.
    Might be a good idea to post Apple TV in the appropriate Forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/appletv/appletv where there's Winston and other cracks.

  • Record directly into iMovie?

    I was wondering if I could set up a camera, and record directly into iMovie. I have a long program I need record, and would love to record (import) directly into iMovie.

    Yes you can. But there may be occasional short pauses while your Mac "takes a breath" and indexes what it's storing on your hard disc, etc.
    Remember that DV video takes up about 13 gigabytes of space per hour, so you'll need that much free space on your disc per hour of recording, and keep about 10% of your total hard disc space free, so that your Mac can still do its internal housekeeping.
    You'll need, of course a camcorder with a FireWire/DV/i.Link connection (..all the same thing; just different names for it!..) which generally means a tape-based miniDV camcorder.
    (..Although hi-def HDV camcorders have the same FireWire connection, and record onto the same miniDV tape, there's quite an 'overhead' of processing power which your Mac requires in order to convert the incoming hi-def video into the 'Apple Intermediate Codec' format which lets iMovie edit hi-def, so I'd stick with standard-definition DV if I were you!..)*
    Depending on the make and model of camera, you may need to put a tape in the camera - or not - and switch it to either Record or VCR mode. (..In a quick test here I've just turned on my Sony camera in 'Camera' mode with a FireWire cable connected, and iMovie is displaying the picture from the camera, and imports it when I click iMovie's "Import" button..)
    "..I have a long program I need record.." ..erm, if you're pointing it at a TV screen to record that, you'd want the camera on some sort of support, and - if you have Manual Focus - you may want to de-focus slightly to avoid the moiré pattern which you might get from tightly focused dots (pixels) on the screen. You'd also want to adjust the camera's White Balance so that the screen looks the right colour!
    *P.S: hi-def HDV takes up more than 13GB per hour, so if you were to use hi-def HDV you'd need to allow much more (..up to 4x more..) hard disc space per hour of recording!
