Speaker output into mic input g5 garageband audio recording

anyone ever take the speaker output and put it into the mic input to be able to record anysound on computer?--i have done it on window machines--i know about audio hyjack pro

See my answer to the other thread you opened. When you do that, you have a double conversion (first D/A, then A/D - though I don't know what actually happens when you use a capturing software like AudioHijack), you might create a hum etc.

  • Os X Mountain Lion and Logic Pro, Garageband Audio Recording Driver Update

    HI just purchased the os x mountain lion upgrade....and ever since my recording software like logic pro and even garageband audion recording is given me a problem .....ive been getting loud static noise during audio recording.....is there an update that will fix these issues...need to know

    en español
    tengo el mismo problema , tengo un saffire 06 de focusrite y en logic pro 9,1,7 en garageband incluso en quicktime al darle al boton de grabar en una pista de audio ya sea con microfono o instrumento me hace un ruido de distorcion mas fuerte que la señal de audio pero si no le doy a grabar este no hace el ruido y suena todo bien microfono o instrumento (solo cuando quiero darle a grabar en la pista)
    lo que es midi todo bien suena bien graba bien es solo el audio incluso los vst para guitarra hacen ese ruido o distorcion
    -grabe microfono e instrumento en pod x3 en los mismos logic pro ,garage etc etc y ningun problema todo bien
    (prueba de que es la compatibilidad de focusrite en mi caso saffire 06 con OSX mountain lion.)
    -probe grabando microfono e instrumento en samplitude pro x suite y todo genial graba de maravilla sonido genial
    (otra vez prueva que es un problema en focusrite y la actualizacion de sus drivers.)
    por ultimo esto me empezo a suceder desde que actualize a osx mountain lion hasta ese momento en lion 10,7 todo sonaba bien.

  • Adobe Audition with M-Audio Fast Track Pro mic input

    I must be missing a setting somewhere.  I have two mics going into the M-Audio Fast Track Pro (XLR inputs).  Mic 1 works fine but no input from Mic 2 although I have audio coming through my headsets when speaking into Mic 2 - it just doesn't register in Adobe Audition.  I have switched mics and cables and all are fine.  The issue is with Mic 2.
    Again, Mic 1 is working fine and Mic 2 is picking up audio and feeding to my headphones but not to Adobe Audition.  I have all the latest drivers installed.
    I am on a Win7 (32bit) system.  Microphones are Shure PG-42's (phantom powered condenser microphones).
    I contacted M-Audio support and phone-verified that all Fast Track Pro settings were proper.  Seems to be a setting or driver issue in Audition.  I've spent hours trouble-shooting to no avail.  In the meantime, I'm using a Y-splitter running both mics into Mic Input 1 on the Fast Track Pro which works fine but I really need seperate control over each microphone.  I have interviews coming up soon and would like to find a resolution quickly.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!

    Archie!  Good stuff!  I'm almost there...
    I've got my Adobe Audition set up with the settings you gave me - everything is armed and good-to-go... but then...
    When I hit record Tracks one and two look like they're recording but there is no level (no audio) going into the tracks.
    If I go back to the Edit view and try to record the entire fills with green as if I'm filling it 100% with sound.  This has never happened before.
    I suspect I've got something hosed-up in my "Audio Hardware Setup" under the Edit section.
    My selections for Audio Driver Setup are:
    1)  M-Audio USB ASIO
    2)  ASIOforALLv2
    3)  Audition 3.0 Windows Sound
    If you could give me some direction as to the settings in "Audio Harware Setup" I feel I've almost got it.
    Thanks!

  • Does iSight mic work for garageband?

    My internal mic is broken, I was looking for a fast solution and the guy at mac store told me that since I have a iSight camera, I could use my iSight(cuz there's a camera and mic both) for Garageband to record. I went to open my Garageband>Preferences>Audio"MIDI to change the audio setting from Built-in Audi to iSight. I can see iSight when I select Audio Input, but it's ghosted and shows "iSight(not 44.1)"
    What does this mean? And can my iSight work as a external mic for my Garageband?
    Could someone please advise me?
    Thank you.

  • 1820m Stereo inputs split into mono inputs?

    Hi,
    I want to split the stereo inputs of my 1820m into mono inputs so I can record multi-tracks on Cubase. Is this possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    When you set up a strip in PatchMix, it is seen from inside Cubase as a stereo ASIO channel regardless of whether you use both inputs. Pan one hard to the left, the other hard to the right, and then work out your VST connections in Cubase, and route (say) the one you panned hard left to a mono Cubase channel's input, and the one you panned hard right to a second mono channel etc., then you can record each input signal onto different tracks.

  • Turn mic input into another speaker output on G60-235DX?

    On other computers I have had, I could turn the mic input into a second headphone/speaker jack but I do not know how to do it with this laptop and I'm new to Vista as well. On page 5 of the Notebook Tour User Guide located here it says "This table describes factory settings. For information about changing factory settings, refer to the user guides located in Help and Support." but I just do not know what "Help and Support" it is referring to exactly. When I am on the G60-235DX page and I click a link in the "Support for this product" box in the lower right, I can never seem to chase down any info on this subject. I have periodically done a search and then given up and now I realize I am just not going to be able to do it without bothering someone else for the answer. Thanks for any help!

  • Why am I not getting any input signal into logic X or GarageBand from my audio interface?

    Hello all,
    I'm completely new to all this so I will try my best here to give all the details needed.
    So, I am using a Mac mini (2013 model: i7 overclocked at 2.6, 16 gbram) and a focusrite saffire pro 24DSP. Overall both are in perfect working order.
    My problem, however, is that I am seemingly unable to get any form of signal from my saffire into either Logic X or GarageBand. I am trying to record guitar lined in and I have set all the settings in logic to what I think is right (software monitoring checked, output channels selected, saffire selected for both input and output) and I have set up my saffire mix control - I spent days reading the manual and watching online tutorials.
    The saffire mix control is set up thus:
    Input 1 - instrument
    Daw 1+2 = GarageBand
    Daw 3+4 = Logic X
    Sample rate 41Khz
    Master Output = stereo monitor mix (line outs 1 &2 to my monitor speakers)
    Output 3+4 headphones
    Is there anything missing here?
    As far as this all goes, when I plug in my guitar I can get a very clear "raw" signal from the saffire mix control, but when I then go to set up a track in either DAW and assign the necessary line ins and outs, no matter what I do I cannot get an input signal, not even a partial one (I have the monitoring and record armed options checked btw). I am close to giving tearing my hair out.
    I'm sure I am just missing something out?
    Thanks in advance :-)

    I've plugged into the interface a mic and an electric guitar.
    I'm not sure what I did but the guitar is coming through (though it shows no signal on the interface). Mic input level on line, mic registers a tiny bit of sound when I hit the mic (on only one channel) but doesn't register any vocals when mic input is turned up to the max.
    Odd thing: stereo/mono button reversed that is when the button is pushed in it equals stereo on the head phones when it says it should be mono and when the button is left unpushed it equals mono when it says it should be stereo.
    Monitor is on and volume is at max.
    GB system preferences don't list Input 1 or/and 2. Where do I find them?
    I've tried everything I can think of. It feels as if I just need to find the right switch but I don't know where to look...

  • External mic inputs and speaker outputs for CP-7937G Conf Phone

    Has any tried to connect the Polycom® SoundStation IP Multi-Interface to the Cisco Conference Station CP-7937G Phone, it appears to be the only way to get eextra mic inputs and line level outputs for enhancing conference call?  See attached Quick Start Guide.

    Here's where I am on interfacing external mikes, PCs, speakers, etc. with the Cisco 7937. It seems this I/O port is quite a mystery to both Cisco and the manufacturer (Polycom). There are virtually no technical specs for it anywhere on line. So, I bought a variety of cables and connectors and tried exploring. I could never get anything but input into the 7937 to work. I could never get any output from it despite the output symbol next to the port. Here are the input test results:
    3 pole 2.5mm to dual stereo 3.5mm breakout cable didn't work at all
    4 pole 2.5mm to stereo 3.5mm for input worked only on one pole (red connection). Half volume?
    3 pole 2.5mm to stereo 3.5mm for input works only on white connector (louder?)
    3 pole 2.5mm to mono 3.5mm for input, works (louder?)
    2 pole 2.5mm to stereo 3.5mm for input, works
    2 pole 2.5mm to mono 3.5mm for input ,works, and is simplest.
    So, if you want to feed an external audio source into the Cisco 7937, almost any type of 2.5mm male connector cable at the 7937 will work
    I could never find any mention of successful use online, and could not find an output signal myself, so I suspect the 7937 was just mislabeled.

  • Using Pro Logic X to record. I have several tracks and I'm trying to record an audio track. I have the mic connect to Avalon 737 then into apollo interface. When I record all track are being recorded into that track. I can't just get the audio to record.

    Thanks for responding. Everything seems to work right except for the when I plug into the 737. Ok let me see if I can be more clear. I had this set up done with two representatives of Neumann, and DBox. Here it is I hope this helps. 32 Channel snake (24 Inputs 8 outputs) Channels 1-8 from snake to my Octopre for Drums. From Octropre output quarter inch lines into the Apollo 2, quarter inch input. This is so that the Apollo 2 is taking the drum tracks. Snake Channel 9-12 into Apollo 1 channels 1-4 xlr. Snake Channel 13-16 into Apollo 2 Channels 1-4 xlr. Snake Channel 17 into the 737, output of 737 into Channel 5 of the Apollo 1 quarter inch.
    Ok The Dbox. Sum output L&R into channel input 7&8 of Apollo 1. Apollo 1 output channels 1-8 into summing input channel 1-8 of Dbox. Apollo 1 main L&R going to main analog input L&R of Dbox. Spid out to DAW input of Dbox. I have both ADAT of both Apollos connected by optical wire. Also have port 2 of Apollo 1 into port 1 of Apollo 2 connected by Firewire.  Let me know. Hope I got it right. Thanks for responding.

  • Dual 1.25 MDD audio/mic input jack broken--Need replacement parts??

    Hello. I'm in need of the audio input/output 1/4" jacks on the rear of the logic board of my Mac dual 1.25 Mirror Door Drive tower. They appear to be assembled in one unit. It has "312HB" markings on it. Somehow the Mic input has physically broken and will not keep the 1/4" mic plugged in. Apple told me that I need to replace the entire board. I know that's not true. Everything works fine. I just don't have any audio/mic input. Does anyone know where I might find a replacement part or maybe even a junk logic board that I can grab the jack from and solder it onto my board? I've torn apart all my ancient PCs out in the shed and they don't have the same type units. Any help or tips would be great.
    Thanks much,
    Robert

    I had started this quest when I found out that I could get several other brands of webcams other than the iSight. The problem is that most of the ones that I saw that did have a built in mic, needed to still be input into the audio in. I think I solved it tho. I finally won an iSight on ebay whch is supposed to have an internal mic and runs thru the firewire. I probably spent way too much but I know it's worth it to not have to deal with the headaches. The plug still bugs the heck out of me tho. I just always have to have everything in tip top shape.

  • Why can't I use Airplay/Bluetooth audio output and Guitar input at the same time?

    Just trying to understand why it is not possible to use one of the 3rd party guitar input devices and have AirPlay/Bluetooth output turned on at the same time.  it would be very nice to be able to play wirelessely to the stereo instead of adding yet another cable to the mix.
    Thanks

    I found the answer:
    Use GarageBand for iOS with external output devices
    You can use GarageBand for iOS with external devices, including AirPlay, Bluetooth, and HDMI-equipped media devices. When using any of these devices there is no support of audio input.

  • Audio Input in Garageband

    I have a problem choosing audio input for Garageband. I am a real novice and all I am trying to do is dump an audio tape of a song onto Garageband so I can work with it. I am running my Sony TC-D5M field recorder through a M-Audio Fast Track guitar-mic interface, which is connected to my iBook via USB.
    When I go to System Preferences and choose Sound Input, I get a choice between my internal mic on my iBook and the USB input. But no matter how I click and choose, I can't get the USB input to register in Garageband. All I get is the internal mic.
    Even though I turn the volume all the way down on the internal mic, I still get input from it. And although the input from the USB registers in the Sound Preferences pane,
    Is there a way to mute or disable the internal mike?
    Is there any other way (apart from Sound Preferences) to choose input in Garage Band? Anybody else have this problem?

    Gil,
    Check in Audio Midi Setup to make sure the USB interface is configured for 44.1 khz, 16 bit. That is the only configuration supported by GarageBand.

  • With 10.2 I can only use system speaker output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps. How can I set this device in FCP 10.2? (it is set in both system preferences and midi)

    With 10.2 I can only use a system (e.g. speaker) output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used without any problems previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps (some like TwistedWave) setup in the program, and others (like Spotify) using system preferences & audio midi setup. How can I set the FF400 to be the sound output device in FCP 10.2? N.B. The FF400 is set as sound output device in both system preferences and audio midi setup.

    From the fcp.co forum. See if this does anything for you.

    I have the solution! Well it at least worked for me. This is the response I got from Apple, Can you please try the following steps towards fixing your audio issue, and report back with your results?
    1. Open the application Audio Midi Setup (located in Applications : Utilities)
    2. Select the Output Tab for the current output device
    3. Select the Configure Speakers option
    4. Select the Multichannel tab
    5. Change the setting to Stereo Now mine was set to stereo but the left channel wasn't showing left. re-clicking on stereo reloaded the settings and after clicking apply it worked.
