Software to record from minidisc

H friends,
Do you have any experience or recommendation for a software which enables recording into I Tunes
from other sources than CD, i.e. from a minisidc player..? I would also be very intersted in a software for "exact copy" recording from CD...I think there is a similar program available for windows based computer, called EAC "exact audio copy"...Thanks for your thoughts and input !
Cheers from Singapore
Thomas

Hi.
There are lots of applications that can record external sources like your md-player. Try GarageBand or Audacity. Because you posted in Soundtrack category i asume you have this application. Soundtrack can record external sources too and should be your first choice. Importing to iTunes is easy, just save the recorded songs separatly and then drop them on iTunes. Maybe you want to convert them to AAC or MP3 for saving discspace.
I don't know what you mean with "exact copy of a cd" because iTunes import the files from cds like they are and you have the choice to compress them to aac/mp.3/etc. if you want to. There is no need to use an other application for doing that.

Recording from minidisc to Logic pro 7 via an fa-66

Hi, I'm having issues recording from a sony minidisc deck through my edirol fa-66 to my macbook. I've tried the various anologue inputs on the fa66, the 1/4 jacks and the RCA inputs on the back. With the anologue it's sounds fine until I arm the track to record, then it starts jumping and phasing. Same with the optical input, I press the "Digital sync" on the fa-66, without the "R" record armed it sounds fine, when I arm it the sound starts jumping and a message comes up "saying sample rate not recognised- Sample rate 3674"
The minidisc was recorded from a PA at I assume the satndard rate for mnidisc players of 4100Khz.

If you are using the Digital input (SPDIF) to record from MiniDisc then you are correct that it is 44.1Khz, but are you ensuring that the SPDIF input is set as the master clock? You will need to ensure that is so whilst you record digitally from it.
I can't fanthom why you might be have a problem recording from the analogue outs though. The phasing sound you describe sounds like you are hearing the original sound plus the slightly delayed sound due to software monitoring perhaps?

Recording from minidisc to creative player with an x

I tried recording from my?minidisc onto my computer with the x-fi card, through the line-in and mic jacks. When I stop recording and turn off the source, I still have the record volume showing some input even though nothing is on. I?even?tried disconnecting the minidisc from the input jack but the player is still showing some input. This is causing my recording to have a steady interrupting noise every quarter of a second or so. Any ideas where to search for this mysterious input or how to get around this problem.Louis?

Anyone suggest suitable software to record from the iMac to the iMac. i.e. 'What you hear'?

Recording from external source

I am brand new to Mac / switched from pc a week ago. not able to figure out some things yet and havent found answers in support. mostly on the basic stuff. like I was able to record audio from a lp turntable on a pc. it looks like there is no recording program built in to the iMac, or am I wrong? will I have to purchase some type of software to record from external record or tape source?

Sorry some heavy-handed moderation has been going on here. I accidently duplicated my post when I edited it to say 'Welcome to Apple Discussions'. Then I asked the mods to remove the first post above and they've gone and deleted my second post and yours; I am sorry about that.
You posed a question about Real Instruments in the absent post. A Real Instrument can be a microphone input or any device that connects to the Audio-In port (or a USB/Firewire Audio device).
Hope that helps.

Recording from mic, not sound card

Hi there. Relatively new to Audition so trying to get my head around it!
I'm using Adobe Audition 3.0 and i'm mucking about with it basically to get some experience for my uni project. I'm trying to compile and edit together a collection of audio clips from a number of web streams. I've done it before for a while on a different computer and it worked fine but i'm having trouble doing it right on this occasion.
Basically, it's recording from my microphone rather than what's being played on the computer. I have no idea how to change this. Any help guys?

I bet you've moved to a Vista or Windows 7 machine.
Under pressure from the record companies, the ability to record the Stereo Mix output of you computer has been disabled or removed from many new computers.
You may be lucky and find it's only been disabled on your machine. If so, then do the following:
To enable:
->> go to Control Panel
->> Hardware and Sound
->> Manage Audio devices
->> in the Recording tab window right click in the white area away from any devices and from the menu enable "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show disconnected devices"
->> right click on Stereo Mix to get the properties window and in Device usage "Use this device (enable)"
However, there have been many reports in here (you can do a search) that some computer manufacturers are actually removing this ability entirely, again under pressure from the record companies.
This being the case, you might try some software called Virtual Audio Cable: http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
You have to pay for it but at least there's a trial version so you can see if it works for you before laying out your money.

Recording from casse

hi again
i forgot to ask-when your recording from a cassette tape to a cd how can i get the songs to fit onto a cd as a caseette tape is 90 minates and the cd is only 80 minates?thanks

I believe you can buy CDRs which are 90 minutes, but I'm not sure how well these work.
You can even find 99 minute CDRs. The only problem with the higher capacity CDRs (90+) is that some burners and some players do not support them. I would check http://www.dvdrhelp.com for compatibility of your burner and players before investing in these discs.
Are you using any specific software to enhance the sound quality of the cassette recording before transferring?

Recording from a stereo

How do I set up a voice memo recorder to record from my stereo? It should be possible (as the manual on the voice memo recorder briefly notes, and Apple confirms), by switching the button behind the microphone from "mic" to "line." But so far I've only succeeded in getting a message that no microphone is connected. Ordinarily I have an AV cable hooked up in a way that works for sending music from the ipod to the stereo -- connecting to the output jacks for a VCR, since all the others were in use by cd player, tape deck, and phonograph player). But when I try switching it to the input jacks and recording an old LP, I get only the error message, whether I plug it into the place where the microphone goes or instead where the earphones go (which I guess can't be right) on the ipod. Can anyone explain what configuration would work? Am I right in assuming I don't need any further wires?

Hi,
Are you trying to upload to your computer, the audio tracks on old LPs played on the stereo? If so, probably a better way to go is to get a second set of audio cables to go from the audio/line-out jack of either the phonograph or amplifier (depending upon your stereo's setup) to the audio-in jack at the back of your Dell (assuming you have a sound card installed).
I suspect if you use the iPod Voice Memo mic for recording the LP as it plays over-the-air so to speak, the quality won't be great. Better to input directly into the sound card the audio output produced by the stereo.
Depending upon what you want to do with the audio tracks once it's on the Dell, you can get other pieces of hardware, such as an M-box, or software to further clean up to sound, before you import it into iTunes (for example).

Recording from a Stereo Device to Audio-In Port

Hello, I'm new...I'm attempting to record from my korg kaoss pad to my powerbook g4 (17in) - the kaoss pad has stereo effects that are lost when recording through my mac's audio input jack. I am considering purchasing a usb audio interface - will this solve the problem? any other possible solutions?
I can't even figure out how to record in mono so that the mono signal pans center...easy to do in garageband, but i can't seem to find this option in soundtrack...I've been resorting to duplicating every track and panning them right......bah!

Recording from a turnta

I would like to record from a turntable. What hardware and software do I need?

I record from tape and turntable regularily but have not used the input of my SoundBlaster since I got my JB and then replaced it with JB3. Using the JB3 is simple and very convenient! with options to record to mp3 at various CBR bit rates or to wav at various sampling frequencies. I choose 44.kHz wav and usually add +dB of gain in the JB3. Once the wavs are completed, I move them to my PC which is fast via firewire, then use Audacity http://audacity.soungforge.net to split up the individual tracks. I name each Artist - Album - # - track, 2, 3 etc encode to mp3, and then use the SuperTagging feature of Music Match Juke Box to fill in the tags, providing track titles, year of release and the cddb genre, which I edit later.
I am one of the lucky ones with most of my LP's still in pristine condition so do not worry too much about pops and ticks (from that pizza in 973) etc.

Recording from analogue input

using cool-edit or audacity. recording through mic input/output on left panel results in feedback howls from internal mic still active.have tried all combinations in sound manager settings.
can i record through usb input with phono to usb cable or do i need a analogue to digital converter?

Hello @8323,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how you are looking to record from an analogue input using recording software. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Are you recording audio with an analogue device while your internal microphone is still enabled in the sound manager? Is a howl sound made when you are recording with only the built-in microphone? In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on Resolving microphone problems (Windows 8), which should help enable your system to record a better quality of audio.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

Problem recording from external l

I'm new here, I have a SB Audigy 2ZS, and I want to record from external line to my PC.
I use a external mixer to connect cassette, mics, long plays to the PC, and I connect them to SB Audigy from "Input line". And I use the mixer to amplify the PC. When I want to record the "surround Mixer" software thas not permit select a simple record input, it mixer all lines (wave, CD, CD digital, input line).
That produce a terrible feedback. Are there some way to record only from input line, without switch line by line?
Thanks
Mduque

Just click on the speaker icon under the volume controls in the mixer. Having said that it is not really necessary as I am unable to detect any hum by leaving them open. I suspect you may need to reinstall the card.

Recording from vinyl directly onto m

Had a quick look thru the FAQ's and didn't see an answer to this question, but apologies if it has been discussed before.
I've heard that it's possible to record an analogue signal (in my case vinyl records from my hi-fi) directly onto a Creative mp3 player. is this true? One one external website they mentioned that the MuVo can do this - all that is needed is an adaptor for the Creative line-in jack to accomodate the standard input from a hi-fi amplifier...
Would appreciate any tips, advice etc on how to do this, which Creative models support this and any extra hardware/software required.
many thanks

I don't think that recording direct to the player- is this what you're talking about?- is the best way to go.
Personally, I would just go and download the albums you have- owning the vinyl makes it legal for you to download the song from a peer to peer network.
If you're hell-bent on transferring them, going table to computer is the way you'll want to do it. Now, if I'm not mistaken, a phono signal isn't a perfect line-level, so you'll need to compensate with the recording level on the computer. Unless you have a top-of-the line sound card with RCA jacks connected to a dri'vebay component, you'll need a /8'' to stereo RCA adapter, which you can find at almost any electronics store that carries adapters.
In my opinion, the best program to use to record audio is Audacity, which you can download for free at http://audacity.sourceforge.net . Audacity will let you export directly to MP3 after you point it in the direction of the LAME encoder's DLL, which is included with many players. Chances are you have one of them already.
