Stereo recording with MP3 recorder using external stereo

I want to record digital streo sound and wonder if I need to buy a MD recorder or if I could use an MP3 recorder which I'd prefer?Therefore please explain if an external stereo mic. can be connected to any of your MP3 players/recorders. If so, which model. If not, please explain if an external stereo mic. also could be connected to the 'line in', and if so, if it could be connected directly, or if it needs to have a preamp in between. If so, which preamp to use with which MP3 recorder?thank you for any answer.
kuuan

thank's for your fast answer. Are the two players you mention older models? According to the creative site there are three models offered nowadays with the name 'jukebox7: Jukebox Zen NX, Jukebox Zen Extra and Jukebox Zen USB 2, but as much as I understand their specifications they do not have a 'line in', or do they? If they don't, well, even though this is a creative's forum, are there any MP3 recorders from other manufacturers which would do the job?
Concerning the mic, are there mics offered which include a preamp? If so, which one would you recommend? If not, what kind of preamp with which specifications do I have to get to connect with which kind of mic? Any mic offered for MD recorders? Would my Panasonic mic of my video recorder do the job as well? Could be that this mic for the video recorder already includes a preamp?
thank's again for any help,

Merging local records with device records failed

Hi,
I have a macbook with OS X 10.4.11 (Intel procesor) I did install the latest Pockect mac for blackberry version (the current one in the Blackberry's page), i use to use the old one, since I did the updated I can't get that both, device and Mac SYNC any item, no contacts, no calendar...
The message I got last time was:
06:06:57:140 merging local records with device records failed.
Could some one with me a light on this bug?
Thanks

Hi rguardia,
Can you try synching one PIM database at a time, e.g. just Contacts by itself, so we can determine which database is experiencing the problem? The error you are receiving is likely being caused by one specific database.
Once you have identified the database that is causing problems, can you perform the steps listed below:
1 - Run Data Purge on the affected database. Data purge can be found in the following location:
Mac HD/users/<Home User>/Library/Application Support/PocketMacSyncManager/Additional Tools.
***Please note this utility will delete all information stored in the selected database on your BlackBerry however once the information has been deleted from your device you can reimport the data to your BlackBerry from the application on your Mac.
2 - Run Sync Clean, which can be found in the same folder as Data Purge.
3 - Disconnect the BB from the Mac, remove the battery from the back of the device, wait 10 seconds then reinsert it
4 - Reboot the Mac
5 - Reconnect your BlackBerry to your Mac
6 - Open PocketMac and select Reset All Devices to First Sync State from the Devices menu
7 - Configure synchronization settings for the affected PIM database, choosing the option to Overwrite Device. If the data is successfully transferred to the device, reconfigure PocketMac back to doing a two-way sync.
If you are still running into the same problem after performing the steps above, try synching one category of the affected database at a time. To do this, click on the tab of the database you are trying to sync, click on Advanced Preferences next to the selected application, and choose the option to sync only selected categories. Try synching with only one category selected at a time, just to see if the issue is related to data within a specific category.
Let us know how you make out!

Distorted recording with QuickTime 7 using USB Audio CODEC

I am running Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.8 with all the latest update from Software Update which includes QuickTime 7.1.3.
I am using QuickTime Broadcaster to stream back to itself (loopback) and record to disk at the same time. The input audio device is set to USB Audio CODEC (the default driver that comes with Mac OS X Tiger, and I am using an Alesis MultiMix 16USB mixer on a PowerMac Dual Core G5). I am using MPEG-4 Audio compression (no Video) of 16-bit, 44.1kHz and 128kbps (stereo).
The problem is that sometimes I get recordings (ranging from 1.5 hours to 2.75hours long) with distortion. Here is a short 20-second audio clip with distortion-free audio for about 6 seconds and then distortion sets in:
http://www.netmedia.com.sg/files/SampleDistortion20s.mov
Whether it overlays on top of the original audio or replaces it, I cannot tell, but the transition is instant and smooth with no audible clicks or pops. The distortion can come in and go randomly. For example, I had one recording with distortion coming in at about 2 minutes plus and it remained until about 2hr10min when the distortion went away. Sometimes it didn't go away; other times it came in about an hour later. I also had once where the distortion last only for about 6 minutes somewhere in the middle of a 2.25 hours recording...all in all, it occurs at random. And I do get distortion-free recordings.
This problem also occurs on an iMac G5 with a Alesis MultiMix 12USB mixer, and in another Vara Software's Videocue PRO software which uses QuickTime for recording and playback. QuickTime 7.0.x and all versions of 7.1 also had this problem.
Because of this problem, I may need to use a convoluted method to stream and record to disk via QuickTime. By the way, I also tried streaming to another local subnet IP address just as a troubleshooting without success.

I too am having distortion problem (Sorry no solution here).
Using OS 10.4.8, QT7.1.3, & Adobe Premiere 6.5 on a G4.
After I down loaded QT 7.1.3, my problems started. Is this when your problems started too?
Audio is in "slow motion" sound when editing. On rare occations, it sounds correct for 10 sec or so but sync is out and eventually reverts to "slow motion" sound. Even more bazar, when viewing a clip in a thumbnail preview, it works fine. So I know the orginal is good.
My contention is QT is causing this. All I want is my previous version of QT back. I think this might fix your problem too. Unfortunately, there is no reinstall that I can find that takes QT 7.1.3 off and puts QT 7.1.1or2. The reinstall QT 7.0.3 which is on the Apple website will not restall.
Looking for a reintall that will take QT 7.1.3 off, help anyone?

Guitar recording with mp3. SB li

Hello?I have sb li've! and I have connected my guitar to comp. I can hear both, guitar sound and mp3 out of speakers, but I would like to record the sound on my comp. I can only find a way to record only one sound at the time. Not both same time. Is it even possible to set comp recording all sounds what come out speaker with this sb li've!, even if they come from different channels? Help please. -Way-

This is best to do w/ multitracking/sequencer software.
Method: load the mp3 file into track # and record your own playing into tracks #2 -#n. You can record as many instruments/takes as you like.
There are no 'easy to use' free-/donation-/shareware software which supports mp3 import (w/ Kreati'ves Kristal, you need to convert mp3 to wave as for an example before you can import). [url="http://www.cockos.com/reaper/">Cockos Reaper[/url] could be one you can try. There is also software called Audacity but IMO, it's not very good because of lack of certaing functionality. You propably need to install [url="http://www.asio4all.com">Asio4All[/url] too to get best performance out from Li've! (meaning low latency, etc).
Install Asio4All
Install Reaper, set Audio device to Asio4All.
Set samplerate to 4400 or 48000 or and latency buffer settings (ASIO Config -button) to 386-52 (you may need to change this bigger if you hear crackling/popping or get audio dropouts).
In Reaper,
- create a new project,
- insert a media file (Menu: Insert->Media file ...) ; find your mp3 file
- insert new track (Ctrl+T)
- set its input port to the one you have the quitar connected (you may need to set this recording source in SB mixer software too) use mic for microphone and line-in for line source (don't use "Wht U Hear")
- arm the guitar track for recording by pressing the grey 'O' button in track header properties
(- toggle the monitoring option if you dont hear any signal, you mayu need to enable monitoring in li've software too)
- set recording levels
- press record for recording (ctrl-R)
- when done, pres the long "space bar" in keyboard to stop the recording
- etc.
Read the Reaper Documentaion.
Kristal would be easier to set up and use but you need to convert those mp3 files to wav (flac, aiff or ogg) to get them imported.

Screen Recording with ffmpeg/recording mic and speaker output

I've been doing much research on this, and to be honest A/V editing is not my strong suit. I use a script I wrote two days ago to initiate both screen recording with ffmpeg and compiling the resulting mkv file with ffmpeg as well. The entire script can be seen here:
#!/bin/bash
#Create function to exit program
function quite {
if [ $ANSWER3 = "y" ]; then
exit
else
exit
fi
#Create function to start ffmpeg record
function record {
if [ $ANSWER = "y" ]; then
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1366x768 -i :0.0 -acodec aac -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -strict -2 -crf 0 -threads 0 $ORIGINALNAME
else
if [ $ANSWER = "n" ]; then
echo "Would you like to convert an existing input file? (y/n)"
read ANSWER4
if [ $ANSWER4 = "y" ]; then
ffmpeg -i $ORIGINALNAME -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac -ab 128k -crf 22 -strict -2 -threads 0 $OUTPUTFILE
echo "The program will now exit"
read
exit
else
exit
fi
else
exit
fi
fi
#Function to convert the recorded video
function convert {
if [ $ANSWER2 = "y" ]; then
ffmpeg -i $ORIGINALNAME -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac -ab 128k -crf 22 -strict -2 -threads 0 $OUTPUTFILE
else
exit
fi
#Change to Screen Record directory in My Videos
cd ~/My\ Videos/Screen\ Record/
#Clear screen, and ask for input on what to name the origional file and the converted file

echo "You're files name is $ORIGINALNAME!"
echo "Please, enter name of the output file followed by .mp4"

For simplicities sake, and because I don't think there's a real problem with my script but something else, here's the two ffmpeg scripts from the above script:
recorder
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1366x768 -i :0.0 -acodec aac -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -strict -2 -crf 0 -threads 0 $ORIGINALNAME
compiler
ffmpeg -i $ORIGINALNAME -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac -ab 128k -crf 22 -strict -2 -threads 0 $OUTPUTFILE
Anyway, I have pavucontrol used to set the recording input after I've started recording. I want to be able to record the sound of my voice on my usb headset (which works fine) and be able to hear the sound of music or a youtube video I'm also playing during the recording. I've seen the loopback mixer from Alsamixer gui and the input, output, and record tabs in pulseaudio mixer. To be honest, after researching all this stuff in ffmpeg (which is a ocmplicated program) and whatever amix, dmix, and some other programs I'm not sure what are, I have no idea where to go anymore. I'd continue researching, but I'm only getting more confused the further I go. I'm extremely willing to learn and will follow any instructions you give to help me out. I don't just want to do this one task, like how I learned enough to write a script file, I want to be able to tweak ffmpeg to suit my needs for any purpose it can be used for. This is my first step to being able to do that. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

OK, I've manages to learn enough about jack to not break my system and can work with that, Pulseaudio, and alsa is always installed. Is there a way I can create a virtual device that takes in the input from both the system sound and the headset mic that I can set as the audio input for ffmpeg? I've been looking online and I've got a headache at this point from trying. I have learned to use ffmpeg on a new level, but I still can't do what I want to do. (which is record sound from the headset mic and the system sound at the same time while using ffmpeg. I could make two audio files from each channel and record the screen with x11grab. then combine all that using another utility, but then I have to run three separate programs at the same time (which will eat up my cpu) and still run whatever I'm recording from my screen. Something that will do all this for me would be much appreciated.

How many min. can i record with voice record with MuVo V200 1

Hi,
I'm going to buy the Creative MuVo V200 GB.
Now my questions about this player.
How many minutes can i record over voice recording.
Maybe someone can tell me how much Megabytes minute of recording will take.
Are there different quality levels of recording?
In which format does the player save the recordings?
I will use the player to record lectures at the uni'versity.
Did anyone have done this?

Checking Previous record with current record.

Recording with MP3 converter

For MP3 conversion , CCA seems to be compliant only with LAME application that is a single thread conversion and take long time to convert a big list in the quality folder.
I need to convert a big quantity of recording.
Anyone know if it is possible to use another third party application instead Lame ?
Thanks and regards
Mauro

If the file server is a windows machine you can disable the last modified update in the registry. This will increase the performance in a large directory quite a bit while it converts each file.
I'd also recommend you run Profiler or similar on the 'selects' the MP3 server sends. Create an index specific to that select and be sure to add the result set as the included columns. That will make the DB query to identify the files very efficient. Unfortunately you will see that the company ID’s that are higher will be lower on the order returned.
Other than that, you will be depending on CPU and base file system IO to work the backlog.

How can i records with date format using web services?

Hello
I can't record date records using web services. I get no message errors.
I can import string values but no dates (YYYY-MM-DD). Do you have any clue about that?
Regards
Arturo

hello,
That's the code I'm using to update an opportunity. In the date fields (e.g. dFecha_de_entrega_al_cliente) I've tried to put an specific date in the correct format (If i put it in another format i've got an error message due the wrong format). The CRM accepted the code but it didn't update the values that are different of string.
I don´t know if there is something missing in teh program or if the developer environment is not the adequate.
Regards for your comments

Error importing CSV files with 'hidden' characters using External Table

Hi Folks
Bit of a strange one here.
We're well used to using the External Table method of loading data from CSV files into the database but a recent event has presented us with a problem.
We have received some CSV files that 'look' like regular CSV files but Oracle will not load them.
When we examined the CSV file using VIM on a UNIX box we saw the following 'hidden' characters between every regular character in the file.
^@So a string that looks like this when opened in Excel/Wordpad etc
"TEST","TEXT"Looks like this when exmained with VIM
^@"^@T^@E^@S^@T^@"^@,^@"^@T^@E^@X^@T^@"Has anyone come across this before?
Many thanks
Simon Gadd
Oracle 11g 11.2.0.1.0

Hi Simon,
^@ represents the NUL character (0x00).
So, most likely, you've got a Unicode-encoded file.
You'll have to specify the character set in the record specification (and if necessary the byte order mark), for instance :
CREATE TABLE ext_table
col1 VARCHAR2(10),
col2 VARCHAR2(10)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY dump_dir
ACCESS PARAMETERS
RECORDS DELIMITED BY '
' CHARACTERSET 'UTF16'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LOCATION ('dump.csv')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16536/et_params.htm#i1009499

When Recording with DAE, recording sometimes cuts out...

but not all the time - it appears random. Playback will continue, but when I stop playback, the recording stopped somewhere in the middle of recording. It only happens occasionally but of course it's a pain. No error messages appear.
Is it because I only have Protools 7.1cs6?
I'm using Logic 8.0.1 on a Dual G5 2.7 on OS 10.4.10, 4G Ram.
Thanks for any tips,
Regards,
Ken

1. try changing the settings under Preferences/Audio/Devices/DAE: PT HD-Type to at least 64 tracks (2 DSP´s); for me that helped
2. also problems can cause if you have instanciated EXS24 TDM Instruments, so if my first tip doesn´t help, try this

HT204382 how do i make a voice file with mp3 extension using my imac?

I tried using Quicktime and picking audio file and using the microphone and burning the voice file but my cd player that i need to use only plays mp3 files and the files that are burned are only mp4. please help

ITunes will convert to mp3

Did a full recovery on hp with Vista. Using external HD, I reinstalled my music library, and installed iTunes from net. Following instructions given in iTunes, I was unable to import my music library into iTunes. Any advice, comments, etc,?

After recovery I am not able to load my existing music library into iTunes. I followed instructions given in iTunes. Any comments/suggestions?

Do you see the library and media files on your external drive?
If you recovered the iTunes folder from <User's Music> in the backup to your current <User's Music> folder then the library should all be there with no need to import anything.
Depending on how you backed up the data it is possible that the recovered files are missing the security permissions that iTunes needs to access them. See epair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on how to check and reset if necessary.

Form with dropdown lists using external XML data - Distribution

Hi all,
I have created a form which has a series of drop down lists that populate dynamically from an external XML file. The option selected in the first list determines what data can be selected in the second, and so on.
This functionality worked well within designer when I previewed the form - the problem I have is when I go to distribute. I (perhaps mistakenly) assumed that when I distributed the form, the external XML file would be absorbed into the main PDF, but this as not the case. Not only that, even if the XML file is in the same location as the published PDF, the dropdowns no longer populate with any data.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting to draw in external XML when a form is published? Is there another method to dynamically populate dropdowns that will provide me with a single PDF as a final product?
Cheers,
Lachlan.

Hello Lachlan,
Before distributing the form have you opened that form in Acrobat and imported the XML and saved it ?
Thanks.
Bibhu.
