Split Tracks While Recording w/MediaSource Play

I'm converting some cassettes using MediaSource Player. Can I split tracks while recording, i.e. record the whole cassette and then split that into individual tracks? I've done that with Microsoft Plus!, but can't seem to find that functionality with MediaSource. Also--if I want the absolute best quality recording of the cassettes, am I right in thinking I'd select WAV stereo, w/96.00 kHZ and 24 bits? The cassettes are li've recordings that I'd like to?have professionally mixed in a studio and then released as CD's, so I need the optimal "starting point" as far as the digital files are concerned. Thanks for any advice.

Yes, recording at 24/96 wave is the best that you can go with.
If you have one of the Creative sound cards, check whether you have the Creative Smart Recorder application. It has a split track function.

  • How to view score of one track while recording another.

    I want to record audio on one track. I want to read the notes and chords from another track while recording. ( I want to use the previously recorded track only for providing me with the score ) I would very much prefer to have Logic chase the score so that I know where I am in the arrangement while recording.
    I am aware I can print out the score as a a pdf file and view that, and its not so bad, however I would prefer Logic to follow along the score and let the playhead indicate the location.
    I can do this when not recording. I can view the previous track just before I go into recording, but when I go into recording, the score switches to showing currently track being recorded ( which is empty)

    Hi there,
    Floating Windows all but disappeared with Logic 8 and many of us mourn their passing. Although some windows are, by default, floating (eg transport), the only one that you can choose to make float nowadays is the Environment, useful if you're setting up faders or some other real-time control.

  • Can i play one track while recording another

    I just laid down a guitar track and would like to now lay down a vocal track while listening to the guitar track at the same time. Can this be done on Garage Band. If so, how. Thanks for the help.

  • Listen to a track while recording another

    How do I record on a track while monitoring another track in the same project to ensure that my current recording aligns with the other track?
    Thanks!

    that should be automatic, it's how GB works, unless you actively Mute the other track (or solo the one on which you are recordig)

  • Splitting tracks from recorded minidisc?

    I have just recorded a minidisc though GB and exported to itunes. Problem is in itunes it shows as one continuous track of 38minutes and not 12 tracks as the album should be, how can i split these into tracks so it shows as 12 seperate tracks in itunes??

    GB was written to create single songs, while you can use it for what you want, it's not the best tool, an Audio Editor is much better suited:

    If you're set on using GB then you can use the Cycle Region function to isolate each part of the project that is a song and export.

  • Splitting tracks when recording vinyl reco

    I'm currently recording vinyl records onto my hard dri've and would like to know if there is any way to split the tracks as it's recording. In other words, I record an entire side of a record at one time and eventhough it has 6 individual tracks, it's listed as one track. I know I can stop the recording after each track but that seem to be a waste of time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    SmartRecorder is specially designed for that job.

  • How do I create a split track audio recording (2 outputs)?

    I am trying to create a two-output track for use with IEM and house sound (right channel with some instrument tracks to house; left channel with click & choral voices to IEM only). I don't know how to assign the output to L or R in Express. I've seen some online answers in Pro, but they don't work the same.

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't want to have to think about instrument numbers when I'm creating music.
    "Create with next" requires you to:
    1) Highlight the last used instrument (highest by number)
    2) Have another (n+1) instrument ready to go in your Environment
    If you fail at step #1, you'll get a duplicate, and if you fail at #2, you'll get some other type of track entirely (maybe a bus, a master fader, etc.)
    Maybe I'm old-fashioned or something, but when I want a fresh track, I just want a fresh track... I don't want to have to think about existing track numbers, or the state of the Environment That's why I use "Create" and "Create Multiple," and I haven't found much use for "Create with next."
    But, hey, really, I'm glad it works for someone!

  • While recording a guitar do not record the output from other tracks

    Hi all,
    I'm an audition/recording newbie. I have Audition CC. I have recorded one guitar track. and now I'd like to record another one. The problem is that when I try to record it the output from the other one gets recorded as well. I do want to hear the output from the first track while recording track 2 but I want only to record my guitar playing in track 2.
    Thank you.

    The basic problem here is not actually caused by Audition, but by your sound device mixer, which appears to be letting you record everything you hear - so that will be the guitar part you are playing, and also the replayed tracks that you've already recorded. In Windows, the fix for this is generally to make sure that the recording source is set to be just the input you are using, and not 'what you hear' or whatever it is on your device. The playback part of the mixer should let you monitor both the wav playback and your source, which is what you need to be doing - it's only the record settings you need to look at.
    If you are using a Mac though, I can't help you because I don't know anything about how they work from that POV, but I'd imagine that it must be similar.

  • Multi Track Video Recording

    Here is what I am trying to do - someone please tell me if Final Cut Express can do this because I am trying to decide whether to purchase..
    I am a musician and would like to record (audio & video) in a 4 way split screen format. The idea would be to record the guitar part, then watch the first track while recording a 2nd, watch the 1st and 2nd while recording a third, and so on. The trick would be to sync the audio and video together.
    Can I capture and do all that within FCE?
    If not - anyone have any insights on how to do this on a mac?
    Thanks!!!

    Hello
    If you have overheating problem the best thing you can do is to clean up the unit and remove dust. I have had similar situation on my P20. After cleaning the unit was much quieter and cooling fan was running slowly and not on maximum speed.
    While scanning runs the CPU and HDD are under pressure and produce more warmness. Without properly cleaning the temperature grows up and when the limit is reached the unit simply shuts off. Clean the unit properly. You can also try to place the unit on higher position (4 books to have 3 or 3 cm distance between notebook and the desk).
    Using more RAM is very good idea. You will see that notebook performance to handle with many operations at the same time will be much better. It is really good investment.

  • Output Plug-In Effects without Recording (While Recording!)??

    I am using Logic as sort of a MainStage/Logic hybrid: I am recording live performances on multiple tracks (using a Tascam M-164UF mixing board with multiple outs via USB 2.0). At the same time, I am routing plug-in effects (such as delay) through a MOTU Ultralite on Firewire bus back into the mixing console.
    This all works splendidly. However, I do not want to record any audio on channel strip tracks that I am only using for effects; I just want to software monitor. For example, I am sending an AUX output from the Tascam board into an audio track containing a delay plug-in, than routing its output via the Ultralite into a channel on the Tascam. But I don't want to record on this track while recording other tracks.
    Hope this makes sense. Any ideas for a simple effective way to achieve this?

    I think I answered my own question. The "I" button (input monitoring) button seems to achieve this. If anyone has any other hints regarding this or a better method, it would be appreciated. In the meantime, I will read more about the input monitoring button, and will mark this as answered.

  • Cant hear song playback while recording with external USB Interface Mic in Garageband

    Hi there
    There must be something wrong with my settings in Gargaeband/Mac Sound Settings.
    I have Garageband 9 (V5.1) running a song I have already recorded using a USB keyboard.
    I want to record using my external mic and my USB Audio Interface, so
    I select New Track> Real Instrument
    I plug in my Yamaha Audiogram 3 USB AUdio Interface and I get a pop up stating
    "Garageband is scanning your system for audio devices, and has detected a device named "USB Audio Codec"
    If you want to use this device do not disconnect it during the scanning process.
    Do you want to use this devise No/Yes."
    I select Yes and INPUT SOURCE changes from
    Mono 1 (Built-in Microphone)
    to
    Mono 1 (USB Audio CODEC)
    I can see the signal lights lighting up on the audiogram 3 when I talk into the mic, so theres no problem there.
    Also when I hit record I can record audio using the mic, and can see the levels (and the audio wave I am creating being drawn on the screen) but I cannot hear the track itself when I am recording using the mic. Nor can I hear the track or the new mic recorded audio AFTER I have hit stop.
    The only way to hear the song again with the newly recorded mic track is to unplug the Audiogram 3 (Then I get another Pop-up stating
    "The audio device "USB Audio CODEC" has been disconnected!
    Do you want to switch to Built-in Audio or quit Garageband?"
    I select USE BUILT-IN AUDIO)
    Then the input source changes back to
    Mono 1 (Built-in Microphone)
    And I can hear the track again.
    So my problem as you can see if that I cant hear the track while recording using the microphone with the Audiogram 3.
    But I can record video with audio using the audiogram 3 USB Audio Inteface and mic using photobooth when I select change Sound>Input to USB Audio Codec in system preferences
    It therefore assume it must be a problem with the internal audio settings of the mac/garageband.
    Can anyone advise?
    thanks!

    In order to hear yourself while you are recording, you need to set Monitor to "ON" under the Track Info panel.
    Also, what are your sound output settings?  It sounds like you haven't selected the right output source. 
    If your speakers or headphones are plugged into your audio interface, then you need to go into Preferences -> Audio/MIDI and select your audio interface under Output as well as Input.  If your speakers or headphones are built-in or plugged directly into your computer, then you need to select Built-In under Output. 
    I have a sneaky feeling that you are in the latter scenario, and that when you plug in your audio interface Garageband is automatically switching both Input and Output over to your interface, which means no sound output as long as the interface is plugged in.

  • Recording to one track while playing another

    Is it possible to record to one track while listening to playback from another? I have tried and the sound from the playback track seems to be full of static while recording but clears up once the recording functions is turned off. Any ideas? BTW....I am using the M-Audio Firewire410 as my interface.

    It's possible. Make sure your interface is set for the same sample rate/bit depth as your STP project. A mismatch can cause ugly stuff like that.

  • How do I record one track while listening to another?

    I've recorded a guitar track. Now I want to layer vocals on top of it. Obviously, I need to hear the guitar track while adding the vocals. How do I do that in GarageBand? If GarageBand can't manage that, which program should I be looking for?

    Spencer Lambert wrote:

    you need do nothing, just create another track and record on it, all other tracks will play unless they are muted (or other tracks soloed)

  • Audigy 4/how do i preview track 1 while recording track 2. tha

    good day, i just bought a audigy 4 (not the special edidtion with remote, etc..
    my problem is when i open my production software (digital recorder--------
    say i record the drums on track in multi rack view. when i unarm track and arm track 2 to say record a piano. Then when i press play to hear track 2 it plays the drums i recorded on track . the drums on track record on all my tracks. i had this problem with the soundcard that came with my pc, i think somebody said something about it was pretty cheap and didn't come with preview or something...........anyways i just bought a Soundblaster Audigy 4, well it's far from top of the line but it's a big upgrade for me, any know how i can fix this problem of track being recorded on all the tracks. It's important for me to be able to listen to previously recorded tracks while playing a new .
    so does anybody know how and if Audigy 4 can do this? this is essential, i bought this soundcard for i could go from my hardware digital recorder to software digital recorder. if there's a way can someone give me exact instructions on how to do this.
    'm using audigy 4 soundcard, 2.53 ghz intel celron, 40gb hard dri've, 52 mb of ram, and the recorders i'm using are cakewalk guitar pro and adobe audition. thanks

    Just stop using "What U Hear" as a recording source. If you're using ASIO, the ASIO Mix L works like "What U Hear".
    As recording source, use microphone for microphone and line-in (or AnalogMix()) for line-in sources.
    For monitoring, there is a checkbox behind a tiny red plus sign in CT Surround Mixer (or behind advanced button in windows audio I/O controls) you may need to set (this setting and recording source selection from ct surround mixre/windows recording controls has no affect when you're using ASIO device driver mode in software).

  • Playing radio effects while recording....

    GB3 was promoted as being able to play and add sound effects to podcasts while recording. I'm looking to be able to cue up effects on the fly. How do you do this?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Make sure the 'record' button on the "Radio Sounds" track is enabled in addition to the audio track for voice.
    If you have a midi keyboard connected, you can use the keyboard to trigger the radio sounds as you are recording. If you don't have a keyboard, open the onscreen keyboard (openapple-k) and click on the note you want to trigger when you want to trigger it.
