Recording Streaming Audio Directly into Logic 8?

Is it possible to record streaming audio directly into Logic 8. I would like to grab some sound bites from web sites and various other places and lay them down as Audio tracks in Logic 8.
I know WireTap Pro will do it for $30 but I wonder if I could just do it in Logic.
Again, thank you for your time.

Hi Bee Jay .. I wonder if you would mind advising on this setup:
Normally I hear everything that comes out of the computer via the following route:
Out of computer via Firewire and into Motu828
Then out of Motu 828 and into Mixer channels 1 & 2 which are set to Monitor only. ie I hear all audio ( including streaming audio from computer) through my monitor speakers and the signal does not go back into Logic.
All the other mixer channels (3 - 16) I use for recording. Mics and line inputs routing these back into the MOTU (and then the computer) by buttons on the individual channel of the mixer. ie If the button is up on a particular mixer channel it comes out the speakers and does not record in Logic. If the button is down then that channel records into Logic (via a loom into the MOTU).
I was warned on no account to press the buttons down on channels 1 & 2 ( because those were the main outs to monitor Logic's signal ) ...
But that if I *switched off the channel output in Logic channel strip* - then I could press down those buttons on Channel 1 and 2 and route whatever audio was coming out of the computer ( iTunes, You Tube etc) back into Logic to record.
I did this some time ago and it worked ... but for some reason, now even though I have the Logic Channel outputs switched off, I still get the most horrendous howling feedback if I try to record Streaming Audio or iTunes.
If you or anyone else has advice on what would be causing this, I would be most grateful

  • Question: How do I record CD audio directly into SBCS4 off the soundcard?

    I.e., without connecting audio out from a speaker to mic input on the desktop?  Thanks in advance.

    Use the 3.5mm audio out jack on the back of your computer. Connect it to your audio interface, and record like normal. You need an adapter cable. ( 3.5mm stereo to two 1/4 inch mono) see link.

  • Record Streaming Audio

    Is there anyway to record streaming audio directly on a Garageband track?

    The only method I can think of is to "shortcut" a connection between your headphones out and the line-in. But that doesn't yield very good results.
    However, you can record the streaming audio with software like AudioHijack or WireTap and then import the resulting audio file into GB. Just a couple of clicks more - or why do you want to record it directly into GB?

  • Can I record vocals directly into Logic Pro X with my Tascam DR 680?

    I'm connecting via the USB port on the Tascam. I opened up my "Devices" list under "Preferences" in Logic but it doesn't seem to be registering. I thought there might be a driver out there or some other way to make this work.
    If anybody has any suggestions I will be greatly in your debt.
    -Josh

    Hi Jos, you can't interface the Tascam DR 680 like that (USB) to the Mac I think. It's not an audio interface but a more ore less dedicated stand alone recording/playback  unit. You could try importing the audio data into Logic, but as far as direct recording via usb goes….. I don't think so.
    A rather clumsy way to achieve your objective, if you must, would be a signal flow like that:
    mic -> Tascam DR 680 -> Tascam OUT (digital/analog) -> audio interface / mac  (digital/analog) IN -> rec in Logic
    Have a nice day!

  • How can I record streaming audio???

    HP HDX 18T laptop
    Windows 7
    NCH Wavepad sound editor
    Hi, I desperately need help with this issue:
    Is there anyway I can turn "OFF" the speakers so sound does not come from them, but STILL have audio levels active internally so I record streaming audio with my NCH software Wavepad program?
    I've been trying everything .. in the Control Panel setup, I am trying to "capture" streaming audio with my Wavepad program, but I can only attenuate the "mic" levels that the actual laptop picks up .. for example, if there's background noise in the room, it picks that up - I DON'T WANT THAT! - I only want the streaming audio from a recording - not the background sounds in the room.
    Folks at NCH Software keep telling me to check with laptop of Windows advice.
    Wavepad used to do this easily and cleanly before (well, on other computers and other Windows versions)
    If I go into Windows Mixer, and turn down Speakers, it also forces to turn down System Sounds - I do not want system sounds down; only speakers.
    Summary:
    I want to record streaming audio into my audio capture software.
    I want to independantly cancel laptop speaker output, while maintaining audio levels for streaming capture.
    I DO NOT want extraneous sounds in the room's background picked up by the laptop's mic, which then interferes with the recording.
    (or is there a Windows program that will do this for me? I spent $$$ on the deluxe Wavepad software ,, but it's not doing what it used to do)
    Any help, or advice will be GREEEEEEatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks, Michael

    Fixed (I think ....?)
    Turns out there's no "Stereo Mix" option in my Control Panel sound boxes .. apparantly no one else has it either in Windows 7??? depending on sound card ...
    Well, a work-around is to connect a male mini-plug "Y" into [one of] the laptop's headphone outs; then run a mini-plug cord (male-to-male) from it to the laptop mic "in" ... that leaves one unused female mini-plug on the "Y" .. which you can then run your headphones (or speakers ) off of.
    Found that solution online .. got the parts; it works now.
    Still baffled why there's no "Stereo Mix" in Windows 7 ....?

  • Record streaming audio with XFI Xtreme Audio C

    I just got a new pc with this card and unfortunately it has no what u hear or stereo? mix record option.Can I loop the Digital output device(SPDIF) into the Digital input device(SPDIF) to record streaming audio? I can't install a different card because it will void my extended warranty. Thanks

    I had no trouble recording "what you hear" streaming audio with my extreme audio (pcie). If you are using the same card I'll walk you through it, if you're using the pci version, take a look to see if it's the same and try it. Open Creative console launcher (by clicking the icon in the system tray), select the mixer, find the record ("rec") slider, (on my console it's on the far right) click the little triangle in the box at the top of the slider, select "what u hear", open creative mediasource, hit record, and start the streaming audio.

  • Audition 4 for Mac - Recording Streaming Audio

    Hello All,
    Apologies to all if this subject has been covered already, but couldn't find the answer.
    I have just downloaded Audition 4 for Mac (beta), and I'm trying to work out how to record streaming audio off iTunes, Youtube etc, straight into Audition, without picking up anything else in the background?
    Thanks in advance!
    J986E

    audition4 is good for Mac while recording streaming audio, cool it is. But i guess there are free applications for recording streaming audio, for some users. More options can be available for you here: audacity, limewire, streaming music recorder.

  • Recording streaming audio at different quality levels with SB PC

    Hi, I am trying to record streaming audio (lectures) on my computer. I have tried recording with Creative Wave Studio (ver 4.0) and Creative Recorder (ver .04). I am running windows98. This is the problem. I can record with both of these programs IF I select the 'recording format' as 'CD quality, 44,00 hz, 6 bit, stereo, 72kb/s.' However, the resulting file sizes are huge at this quality. When I change the recording format to 'Telephone quality, ,025 hz, 8 bit, mono, kb/s' I cannot record a single thing with either program. When I press record I get the following message: "RECSVR - MMSYSTEM004 the specified device is already in use. Wait until it is free and then try again." If I change back to the high quality, the error goes away. Very frustrating. I make sure that I have the right input source selected. I tried both 'wave' and 'modem' input source, but there was no change. If anyone can help me with a little guidance, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for help.

    Hi
    Can you record using mp3 or wma -format (on 28kbps) with these tools you have? These formats packs wav data to ~/0 deal from original without huge quality loss.
    If not you can try if there is some other recording tools. There are also freeware products on many SW sites like

  • Record streaming audio with Audiophile 2496

    Hi.
    I installed a M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI sound card and I have normal output thru speakers. The problem is I can't figure out how to record streaming audio on my computer. I read elsewhere that all I had to do is launch a sound recording app and configure sound input/ output. I have used Sound Studio 2 and Audacity, tweaked thru various settings but to no avail, as I just have no input indication at all. Wd greatly appr your instructions, thanks.

  • Recording Streaming Audio Using Total Recorder in Vi

    Last year I purchased High Criteria's Total Recorder to successfully record sounds over the internet, etc. Earlier this year I bought a new PC with Vista and onboard sound, and I?installed Total Recorder on the new PC. ?It no longer worked. I checked their website, but they weren't much help. They said to look for a "wave out" option in recording, but there was none. Thinking that it was the onboard audio causing the problem, I bought and installed an Audigy SE sound card yesterday. While it gives me a few more recording options, I still can't use Total Recorder. Cqan anyone please give me some suggestions as to how to make this work? Or is there another program out there to record streaming audio in Vista? Thanks.

  • Advice for recording spoken word directly into FCP?

    I want to teach some kids to record spoken word directly into FCP with most likely a USB mic. I know that this is not the best way to do this, and a mixer would help greatly. With that said, can anyone provide any suggestions for getting the best quality out of a basic mic and a Mac with FCP?
    Thanks.

    I'm with David on this. My sweet spot for peaks is in the -6 to -3 range as well. I'm talking about ideal for "recording" your VO, not necessarily for delivering a final mix to the client as already mentioned.
    When you record anything through a microphone, there will be a noise floor to contend with. Even the quietest recording studios with the best isolation and the quietest mic preamps have noise and hum at some level. So it's critical for us without ideal recording environments to keep our recording levels as hot as possible without clipping in order to achieve the best signal-to-noise ratio. If you record something too low, and bring it up in post, you will be bringing up the noise floor along with the signal.

  • 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!

  • No Audio input into Logic 9 using Firewire Solo interface

    I am trying to get audio (bass guitar) into an audio track in logic. I am getting a signal to the Firewire Solo panel in preferences. I have Link and out 1/2 selected in the audio interface panel. In Logic audio preferences I have selected Firewire Solo as the input device. I create a new Audio Track and I get nothing. I have tried every option when creating a new track. I have read that many people have had the same problem in other forums but I have yet to hear a solution. Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes it is checked on. Sorry that wasn't clear in the last post. I tried checked off as well. But from what I have read it should be on.
    Software monitoring only needs to be on if you wish to monitor through Logic's audio engine. Most audio interfaces also have a direct Monitoring function which allows you to monitor the inputs of the audio device. Direct monitoring virtually eliminates latency (except for converter latency which is minimal).
    So... you've created a -MONO Audio- track in Logic? You then select the track and can see the I/O channel strip on the left hand side of the page.
    There are two I/O buttons right above the meter, the bottom is output and usually set to 1/2. The one right above sets the input channel of the Audio device... make sure Record is enabled then select that button, from the drop down choose Input, how many do you show as possible inputs 1, 2, 3, 4?
    Play the bass and select each input until you show some input level.

  • Recording from itunes radio into Logic

    I want to be able to record from iTunes or just internet radio into Logic....I know there are some programs to down load that do this...Don't remember what the links are or the names of these programs...Can anybody help ? Thanks

    Soundflower or Jack OSX - you install a virtual audio driver, set the system to output to it, and in Logic, record from it.
    However, using Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack is probably a nicer way of doing this, as you can set up presets and timers and hijack the audio output from lots of different applications without having to do all the virtual audio driver stuff.
