Recording Voice in Soundtrack

I'm trying to record voice via the built-in mic using Soundtrack. The Input Gain Slider is grayed out...don't want that, want to adjust it...what to do?

I've answered my question myself. Forget using the built-in mic. Use an external mic. In the main imac preferences, set for "line-in" and set input gain level there. Then, when you're in Soundtrack, it automatically uses the external input.
The gain slider control is still grayed-out, but you've already set that. And, if you're using an external mixer, as I am, you can control input gain there too.

    I'm trying to record voice using Soundtrack. Two problems: 1. How do you control input level and monitor it before recording? 2. I'm using the iMac's built in microphone, and have a Buzz in the monitoring and recording...what's wrong?

  • Help with recording voice

    I would like to use garage band to record voice tracks of up to an hour long. I have a USB lLogitech headset with microphone, which appears in the GB preferences. I have checked the voice input on the System Preferences and turned it up and checked that the sound from the mike is registering. But it doesn't seem to be registering on garage band and nor is it recording. I read the GB help and turned on the little red thing in the track control panel, but nothing.
    I'm stuck.
    Any ideas?
    I'm running GB 2
    Thanks

    Hey Allie!
    The problem is likely the compression that the station is doing to the stream for transmission... you might not be able to "fix" it the right way without looking at what they are doing to it, because if you send them OK audio, and it's monitored OK in FCP, but sounds bad over the air or whatever, then it's in THEIR court actually. But the EQ filters in FCP or Soundtrack Pro could be used to make your voice crisper sounding. Find the audio frequency of your voice and raise the highs and lower the lows a bit with those EQ filters. It's all real time too, so not hard to figure out. Try starting with the "Final Cut Pro" 3 Band Equalizer... just play with the settings during playback, and you'll see what it does... or for a further explanation, type "3 Band Equalizer" in the search box of the online help menu's User's manual.

  • External microphone for recording voice memos on iPhone?

    I have a video iPod and a plug in microphone to record voice memos. It's high quality and I love it. Is there one for the iPhone?

    Not that I am aware of.

  • Video Apps record voice mumbled. Voice memos are fine.

    Hello.
    I recently noticed that the microphone on my iPhone 4S is not working right. I can record voice just fine. Issue is only when I am using a Video recorder or an app such as Facetime. Sound sounds really mumbled and the audio can hardly be heard. iPhone is about 3 months old. Any ideas ?

    The top mic is faulty. Blow out the pin hole next to the headphone jack hole. You have Warranty, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If you are adventurous, take a straightened small staple and clean the small hole out.

  • I am unable to use my bluetooth headset to record voice memos, is there a trick to this?

    I have a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ Bluetooth headset, I am unable to use it to record voice memos on my Iphone 4, using IOS 6.1.3.  The memos record fine when using the built-in mike but not the Bluetooth headset.  Does anyone have any insight or comments that might help resolve this situation?
    Thank you.

  • I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

    I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine.  I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.   I just get barely audible static.  Any suggestions?   Thanks.

    Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
    Thanks!

  • How can I turn a recorded voice into multiple voices that sound like a group of singers?

    I'm using Logic Pro 9. Could someone teach me how to turn a single recorded voice into multiple voices that sound like a group singing together
    by mixing or other techniques ? I don't have the luxury of a group singing together with me when I do recording. Advices would be much appreciated!

    By far the most natural way to achieve this is for the singer to perform multiple takes - even if you've only one singer. At it's simplest, you could just double track the vocal part, although I prefer 3 parts - panned centre, left & right. Then repeat this process for each harmony, & mix accordingly.
    Melodyne & some of the above methods do work on am single voice, but phase cancellation can be an issue if your not careful with each part's timing & panning. If you can only get a couple of decent takes from the singer, far better to perform any harmony/pitching techniques on the second take to avoid any phase issues. It's not uncommon for a singer to perform each vocal part 5-10 times, then comp (edit) the best takes so that you end up with 3 decent takes.
    If you've only only one voice to work with Antares Harmony EFX is a useful alternative.

  • What's a good interface to record voice/guitar tracks in Logic Pro

    Hello - could you tell me what would be a good interface to record voice/guitar into a Logic Pro project please?  Thanks.

    re the firmware update - there is talk that this should only be done if you are going to use USB - and also that it needs to be done via Windows.........I am confused re this?
    I don't know about that, I don't own a Phonic, but if you only have to do it for USB, well, then there's no problem and you don't have to do anything, so...
    Also when you say DAW (what does that stand for?
    Digital Audio Workstation; Logic, Cubase, Protools etc are all DAWs. You'll probably encounter this term once in a while...
    I just want to make sure and sorry if i sound silly but I should be able to use Phonic as my interface with Logic Pro without using Cubase?
    Yes.

  • Options for pre-recorded voice paging

    What options are there for pre-recorded voice paging on Cisco Phone Systems.
    We are running Cisco Unity Express 3.1 on a Cisco 2851 and I have a ATA186 that connects to a PA System that has an extension assigned to it.
    So what I would like to do is select between 2 or three pre-recorded messages and play it over that extension.
    I know Informacast will do it but that is a little expensive in my opinion for what I want to do.

    Take a look at SynApps SA-Announce and Broadcast Manager: http://syn-apps.com
    Both are great products, compatible with CME, and are typically cheaper than other options.

  • Does iOS 5 has features such as Block certain caller, record voice call, 3G Video call (GSM), Personalized Text Ringtone, Voice Conference call, etc?

    Unknown, probably NO- Block Caller
         (True call blocking can only be done by the carrier. The best any phone could possibly do is a) not ring and b) send the call to voice mail)
    Unknown, probably NO- Record Voice Call
         (This will probably NEVER been included as the legality of doing so can vary wildly from place to place, sometimes from state to state and even city to city)
    Unknown- 3G Video Call (GSM)
         This may not be such a great idea with most carriers doing away with unlimited data plans. FaceTime over 3G could end up costing a lot!
    Not published, but widely reported as Yes- Personalize Text Ringtone
    This already exists in the current iOS and has since 1.0- Conference Call
         AT&T can handle up to 5 simultaneous calls linked together, Verizon only 2. Support will vary by carrier.

  • Record Voice in Flex Using Red5

    Can any1 post me the code for recording voice in flex using
    red5 or else brief me the procedure how to record voice in flex
    using red5.....

    I think a Flash media Server could handle this.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/
    Flex does have controls for Microphone and Video capture, but
    it doesn't have any way of handling/storing that data without a
    media server as far as I know.
    Maybe someone has an alternative solution.

    What format does Imovie except for a recorded voice media.  I making a movie and I wantto use my sisters voice.  She will record her voice and send it to me.  I have a audio converter. Should I convert  what ever she sends to a mp3.  What works best with Imovie 11 ?

    Hi
    In all my Video works in iMovie HD6 or iMovie'08 to 11 or FinalCut Express 4 or FinalCut Express Pro 6
    I ONLY use
    • .aiff - 16-bit 48kHz or 16-bit 44.1 kHz (from Audio-CDs)
    or if audio is in iTunes I then I collect needed sounds into a new PlayList - Then I burn this as a Standard Audio-CD (NO .mp3)
    So - for me - no .mp3, .vma or other strange formats - all converted to .aiff
    So I convert all 32 kHz audio to 48 kHz (else my audio goes out of sync.
    By keeping this I get near to Zero problem with my Audio in all my projecs.
