Spend more $$ for RCA Audio Converter ?

Hi and thanks in advance for your kind help! I ordered an Apple TV unit and noticed it did not come with an audio cable and no rca outs. Even worse, my TV and receiver do not have optical Ins. I checked online for an Optical Audio Out to RCA converter and those start at $60 so I canceled the Apple TV order.
Question: If you don't have optical Ins on your TV or receiver, how do you hook the "New" Apple TV to your system without buying an expensive converter ?
Grateful thanks for any insights or suggestions...

Hi, you did not mention HDMI as an issue for the video connection. Since the new Apple TV only has an HDMI video connector, you would need a TV with an HDMI input. HDMI carries both audio and video. So, if your TV or receiver have HDMI inputs, you should be good to go with the new Apple TV. Audio would be delivered over the HDMI connector.
If you don't have an HDMI connector on your TV or receiver, this new Apple TV will not work for you at all.

Looking for cheap Audio converter RAM to MP3 ?

Dear All, We would like to convert a RealAudio "ram" file to Mp3. Is there a "free / shareware" pogram to do this ? Otherwise, what should I do ?

I personally do not know of a program to convert like you request but you might check out http://www.versiontracker.com for programs. "WireTap Pro" can capture audio from any internal source ( http://www.ambrosiasw.com/news/ ) Of course, you'd need a player for the RAM file...

P.S. Not sure where to post this...

While I love WireTap (Audio Hijack does much the same)it isn't really converting the file. It does it's magic while the file is playing on the computer and taking that stream then recording it to the format you desire. This is not a digital translation of the file but a recording of it being played.

Audio Converter

There are so many places I could have posted it, but since I have a PB I'll just post it in this section. I am looking for an audio converter to change not-so-friendly itunes format to a friendly itunes format. Any help would be appreciated and TIA.

Audacity is a free audio editor that works with Ogg Vorbis (and MP3 and Wav) files, so you could convert using that (if it's Ogg you need to convert...)
What type of files are you having probs with?

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money?

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money and time? I've spent over seven hours trying to upgrade an iMac 350 Hz OS 9.1 to Tiger. I have changed the iMac firmware to 4.1.9, but found that my Panther disc was only an OSX Upgrade, although the 3 cds are labeled as Installation Discs. Since I have a Tiger disc I thought I would use that. Unfortunately, my iMac only reads CDs, not DVDs. I tried networking the iMac to my G5, but upon shutdown, the OSX disc cannot be accessed. I copied the DVD files to my iMac hard drive, but again, the OSX disc cannot be accessed after shutdown.
Is there a way I can burn a CD from the files of my Tiger DVD to get this task accomplished?

Excuse me, but I never thought of that, nor did I have any intention of trying to rip off your company.
I purchased four iPods for my family this Christmas. I have six iMacs just sitting around not being used. I thought that I would turn one into an iPod work station, so everyone can use one computer to recharge and hook up to iTunes 7.
Unfortunately, iTunes does not work very well in OS9. Apple decided not to continue to support OS9 very well. I’ve spent several hours attempting to upgrade the iMac so I could set up iTunes 7. Unfortunately, my 3 Panther Installation Discs were mislabeled, and did not allow me to install OSX over OS9. My OSX 10.2.7 Installation Disc is a DVD, and my Tiger Installation disc is a DVD. Neither usable to update the iMac.
All I want to do is set up a dumb iMac as a network interface to my G5 because I've use all of the G5's ports for our recording studio and the iPods need external power source if they are plugged directly into the G5.
If you could show me an easier way to run iTunes 7 on the iMac I wouldn't be as ****** off as I am at Apple for not supporting the 9 older computers I own with usable help and upgrades.

RCA Audio-Video cable to HDMI

Do they make a cable or device that can take the audio and video RCA and convert it to a HDMI out?Thanks!

In terms of RCA cables - is it a red/white pair? That permits analog stereo audio only.
Ideally you want a digital audio connection, which is S/PDIF. There are two common connections for this - coaxial and optical. Coaxial is also an RCA connector but usually colored orange. Optical is a connector known as TOSLINK.
If your audio source has optical only and the soundbar has coaxial only or vice versa, you'll need a special adapter. I've never bought/purchased one myself though.
Don't buy Monster brand. Massively overpriced. Don't pay more than $10 for a 6 foot cable - I got my cables for $4.55 each for 6-foot 8mm cables with premium connectors and a net sheathing over the cable. I can't link to them as I purchased from a BBY competitor.
Also note that the soundbar itself may be the limiting factor. I have always avoided them since they seem like the surround effect would be way too dependent on room geometry.

What's the power of spending more time every day in your IT career ?

What's the power of spending more time every day in your IT career ?
When you do the research to find the factors of the successful people, you'll find that they ALWAYS spent a lot of time every day in their businesses.
The IT technologies change so fast and explode. The performance of IT people with 20 years experiences can be EASILY catched up by a IT people, maybe you, who has only 6 or 7 years or even less if you spend over 80 hours or even more every week on your job and on the latest technologies.
The reasons are listed below:
1. The out-of-date IT technologies is no use anymore. It's like the out-of-date IT books. The people with 20 years experience can't rely on his last experience any more.
2. If you spend 80 hours every week, you'll absorb doubled the knowledge and experience than the people who spends only 40 hours every week. You may catch up with him who has 20 years experiences with your 10 years experiences. Not only this, most of your knowledge and experiences are newer and useful than his.
3. Because you spend 80 hours, you have plenty of time to focus on your tasks. When the task comes in, you may finish your tasks many times faster than him and you may be the only person who still has the time to do any extra or urgent tasks. Because you have more time, you may prepare your next task to be ready to finish your next task even faster and you may absorb the latest IT technologies from a learner level to an expert level while other people is still doing his tasks. And due to your more spare time to learn the technologies all the time needed to do your task, you have much more knowledge needed to do your task and can finish your task much faster than others.
According to my experience, if the comparison of the knowledge the worker has is 1 to 5, the real hours needed to finish a task may be 1 to 10. In IT field, if you know how to do it, you need minutes, but if you don't know how to do it, you need months to do the error-try or starting to learn it and do it. Please notice that the knowledge can be used for many times and the 1 to 5 and 1 to 10 comparisons will repeat again and again. Without spending more time on getting more knowledge, the comparison of 1 to 10 is still happening.
4. Like trying to save the money, most of his 40 hours will be spent on his tasks. He may have only 5 hours left to learn new IT technologies. If you still need to spend the same time to finish your tasks like him, you still will have 45 hours to learn new technologies. You grow 9 times, 5 hours to 45 hours, faster than him. If you keep working and learning the new IT technologies 80 hours every week, you'll find that you'll need much less than 35 hours like him, you may have 60 or even more hours every week to do more tasks to get more experiences and to learn more latest technologies.
----- Someone asked me after read the above "You're absolutely right, but, what motivation can make people do that ?". I told him that "Don't ask me. Ask your boss" -----

1) LabVIEW is a graphical based programming environment and
LabWindows/CVI is a C based programming environment. Both can be used
for similar tasks. Users familiar with C may prefer CVI. LabVIEW is
typically easier to learn if you are unfamiliar with both.
2)
The Run-Time Engine is a separate component that can be installed to
execute LabWindows/CVI programs and LabVIEW programs. It is free of
charge for both LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI.
3)
LabWindows/CVI does not convert any LabVIEW programs into C code.
LabVIEW programs are already compiled as you write them, so you won't
need to convert them to C to use them. You should see similar
performance in similar LabVIEW and CVI code.

32" Toshiba Regza - can i used digital to analog optical audio converter?

32AV700A - 32" Toshiba Regza
Can I use digital to analog optical audio converter?
My objective is not to use LCD TV internal speakers as it's really bad since the the speakers are on the back. If i use the digital optical cable and plug in to the converter, can all my DVD and other devices connected to the LCD TV play to 1 external audio source instead internal speakers?

Thanks for the suggestion.
I got a bit more noise but still no coherent sound.

Mac Pro setup and expansions for Pro Audio applications? Help please...!

Hello everyone.
I want to buy an 8 core mac pro mainly for professional audio applications (Logic, plugins etc) and I have a few questions about upgrading and expansion.
1. Since Logic is a 32 bit application and can only address up to 4GB of RAM, does it worth upgrading to 16GB or should I spend the money upgrading the processors?
2. I've noticed that the Mac Pro has three (excluding the graphics card slot) full length PCI Express slots. Can I install a PCIe card with the shorter connectors? (like this UAD-2 DSP card: http://www.uaudio.com/products/uad/uad2quadomni/index.html)
3. Can the Mac Pro handle hard disk drives with capacity grater than 1TB and HDDs with speeds grater than 7200 rpm internally? If yes, why Apple doesn't have these options within the Apple Store?
I know that my questions may be a bit silly but since this is a big investment I would like to get everything right.
Any help and advice would be very much appreciated...

Windows 32-bit I have some bookmarked articles, but each app/process has its own 2GB address space and uses page and swap a lot more than Mac.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit
Free memory doesn't sit idle or go to waste, even Vista/7 will cache 3-4GB to improve system performance. And it isn't released until or unless freed, not fixed or locked and someone else requests more. Mac OS and Mac Pro especially need more memory, and it does show benefits.
A lot depends on how well written software is to take full and proper advantage. And that is ongoing.
Snow Leopard takes a step further into 64-bit, the first time that 64-bit drivers have been attempted. Big review of Snow Leo:

ESATA vs FW800 = how many more tracks of audio in Pro Tools?

I'm not talking about video editing here, only audio...
Comparing the throughput of FW800 to the added speed of eSATA, How many more tracks of digital audio would it realistically add in a recording program with normal settings (44.1+, stereo tracks)?
How many should I speculate that I'll get with normal/reasonable amounts of plug ins running with FW 800?
The reason I ask is this... Pro Tools LE maxes at 32 tracks, or 48 if you add the upgrade. I'm thinking that FW800 will already be exceeding that, so I have no need to consider the added costs of eSATA.
I built a rather monsterous PC desktop to use with Pro Tools 6.9, and the very first thing the manual instructed me to do was to DISable hyper-threading (& cut the performance in half or so) before installing. And it would handle 32 tracks with plug ins no problema. It had SATA internal drives - SATA I mind you, not SATA II, which is now standard. And that was a single core P4, 3.2 Ghz. That dang thing heated up my room so bad that I had to install a window unit and leave it permanently set with thermostat control. LOL AHHH, the bliss of my MBP 17" - quiet, and MUCH cooler by comparison. I also ditched the 19" tube monitor that was adding heat as well. New Cinema display will be here in a week. Can't WAIT to dual-screen at such a higher resolution. It's gonna be screen real-estate for days. But back to the drive speeds...
It seems that I'm already overkill for what I want to do, and don't want to spend more money chasing speed that's more in the realm of video editing.

i think you will do fine with fw400.

Want to record with two mics but don't want to spend more than $150...

Hey everyone.
I want to do shows with my sister and I want to use two mics. Or do I need to use two mics? I
We tried using my one Logitec Desktop usb mic but her voice was very low.
I don't want to spend more than $150.. my current setup:
1.42 GHz Power PC G4 eMac
two Logitech USB Desktop mics

That's it.
I tried Line In and Soundflower to do this a while ago and got this awful reverb effect.
Any tips and help are appreciated.

For my podcast (the Weekly Anime Review) I use a MXL 990 condenser microphone and a Behringer UB802 mixer. I recently got a second mic, and I couldn't be happier with this setup. Musiciansfriend.com has the mixer and the mic for $49.99 each. They also have free shipping for orders over $100. Don't forget to get a couple mic cables too, the MF branded ones work great and they are only $3.99 for a 20 foot cable.
Check out my podcast at www.weeklyanimereview.com to hear how this set-up sounds. I've been using it since the beginning, and I'm extremely happy with the audio quality. Hope this helps!

Is there a way to run a 2005 PreSonus Firebox(with the firewire) to a mid-2011 iMac 0SX 10.7.2? It says its no longer supporting Power PC? Anything I can do without spending more money on new equipment or a new computer? Please help me.

Nevermind, I got it working.
I ended up extracting the new vob within MPEG Streamclip, which gave me an m2v and an aiff audio. I multiplexed those two back together in FFMpegX which gave me a complete VIDEO_TS folder with BUP and IFO files I needed.

Need more than 8 Audio Streams - Possible solution

Referring to this topic (now archived so cannot reply): http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12870874
Wikipedia DVD entry "DVDs can contain more than one channel of audio to go together with the video content, supporting a maximum of 8 simultaneous audio tracks per video. This is most commonly used for different audio formats—DTS 5.1, AC-3 2.0 etc.—as well as for commentary and audio tracks in different languages."
I thought I better reply to the post above as it this work-around might not be obvious at first. In the post jasdipBoy asks is it possible to have more than 8 audio streams (i.e. languages) on DVD Studio Pro. Unfortunately you can't as the Wikipedia entry says, but as a possible work-around you could always have the same video twice - on two different tracks and split the audio/languages between the two.
The issues you should be aware of is the lack of being able to select each language while playing the video (as some of the languages will be on another track) and if you can actually fit the video twice on the DVD as this method will take twice the space.
But most DVD consumers select the language in the DVD menu anyway so as long as you build that selection into the menu, you should be covered.

Hi,
You could make a two disc set and split the language options,
They make a two disc case that would hold it and look profesional.

Disable Driver Enforcement for Virtual Audio Cable?

Hi, I'm trying to get this thing called "Virtual Audio Cable" Working, but It is apparently not signed, so I cant even use it. Is there a fix to this? I've tried to use bcdedit -set. I have tried to use DSEO Too, but I dont know what file it wants
me to sign, so I'm confused. So if anyone has any idea what to do with this, it will be very helpful.
(PS, Not really the best with computers. But if you guide me through what you want me to do. It'll be easy.)

Hi,
Do you mean that you're unable to install the unsigned driver for Virtual Audio Cable? If so, you can choose “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement” during boot, this allows unsigned drivers to load for this boot only.
You can refer to workarounds mentioned in blog below
How to install unsigned drivers
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/matthew_van_eerde/archive/2014/04/05/10211068.aspx
And there's a security policy to configure the Unsigned driver installation behavior in previous Windows versions, but removed since Vista
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Devices: Unsigned driver installation behavior
while you can refer to this KB to re-add this policy option, this KB is for Windows Vista, but I have tested in my Windows 7 enterprise, it also works.
