Trying to capture audio from the computer output.

I'm trying to figure out how to capture the sound output, and either record it as a .wav, .mp3, or garage band track.
The end goal(s):
1. Full screen video and audio capture -- for example, capture a window as a video, and any sound effects generated by that program. Note that capturing the full screen is just as good for me as capturing a single window.
2. Recording audio/voip calls. I know that if I run garage band and iChat, then the two will talk to each other, and record each person in a seperate GB sound channel. But other audio chat programs (skype, teamspeak, ventrillo) don't have that.
Garage band will record what I say into the microphone. However, what the computer generates over the speakers/headphones -- what the other people in the conversation say -- does not record.
Skype is the one I'm most interested in (this weekend).
Any advice/ideas? None of my searches turned up anything.
Mac Mini 1.42 1G   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

It records skype.
Outside of skype, I can't figure out how to record both sound out and sound in. It records either one, but not both.
And I still can't find anything like the Camstudio program for microsoft windows -- record either full screen, or fixed area of the screen, or a window, over time, along with the audio (either a single program, or the whole system).
Note that with this recording audio, a seperate program for recording video, and some way to synchronize a video and audio track that don't like up perfectly, that would do it. Any ideas?

  • Loaded the new version of Firefox, now I can't get it to open. I keep getting "the computer needs to reboot for updates. when I reboot, it still doesn't work. I tried to remove firefox from the computer, I get the same message. It won't let me remove it.

    'The version of mozilla in my program list has 45.5 mb of space but when I look at the download it says it should only be around 15mb.

    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I am trying to get sound from the MIDI output from an analogue synth (Prophet 08) as an External MIDI track in Logic Pro 8

    I route the signal via an Edirol UA-25. I open a new project, new track and specify it as an External MIDI track. While the indicator light next to the Mute button blinks when I press a key, there is no sound.
    Can you help me, please. I have read the manuals, to no avail...

    David,
    Learning is not a bad thing, I'm just saying what you thought MIDI did is in error, you're not the first.
    Here's an article explaining what MIDI is and how it works, it probably seems less than you thought it capable of but the fact is, since it's standardization in 1983 it completely revolutionized electronic music. By the Way, the designers of the Prophet 8 (Dave Smith & Sequential Circuits) had a lot of input into the MIDI protocol, in fact, if you had to say one company/person came up with the basics of MIDI it was Sequential Circuits. They also came up with the first polyphonic, fully programmable analog synth. I had a very basic MIDI studio at the end of 1984.

  • Capturing Audio from DAT

    Hello,
    I'm trying to capture audio from a DAT deck (Tascam DA-20) into FCP HD by routing it through my JVC BR-DV600U DV deck (RCA output from DAT, RCA input to DV deck, Firewire into FCP).
    The DV deck's input is set to line-in, and the audio is being routed through (audio meters on DV deck mimic those on DAT deck, and I can hear the audio through the headphones jacked into my DV deck).
    However, when I try to capture the audio on FCP, I am unsuccessful, prompting the following window from FCP: "Error: Final Cut Pro HD was unable to read the movie file just captured."
    Now, I use the same set up I described above to capture footage from my Beta deck into FCP with no problems (route Beta signal through DV deck and firewire it into FCP). This leads me to believe that perhaps the glitch lies within my Capture Presets.
    At first, I tried to capture the signal as an Audio-Only DV NTSC 48 Khz/Non-controllable device. After that failed, I tried to create my own capture preset, but am not sure it will make a difference, as the only input choices I am given are DV Audio, Built-In Audio, and None.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Why not capture the audio content outside of FCP, check the sample rate for 48Khz/16-bit, convert if necessary, save as an AIFF file, and then import that resulting sound file into FCP?
    Any good audio app, including STP will do captures.
    You are probably going to need to do some cleanup on the audio anyway before you use it, so why not just use an audio app to do it beforehand?
    Besides, if you have an audio device (PCI card or Firewire device) in your Mac, you can use the S/PDIF port for your connection to the DAT and do a digital transfer when you import.
    As I understand the way you are doing it now, you are taking digital content from the DAT, converting it to analog for the connection into your deck, and then re-converting it into digital when you capture it back into FCP.
    One big advantage of digital audio (and video) is to avoid generation loss and added noise during transfer if you go D-to-D.
    If you don't have an audio card or Firewire A/D audio I/O device with S/PDIF ports in your Mac, then see if you can find a friend who has one and can do the transfer for you. Then he can give you the file on a CD-ROM.
    That's what I'd do.

  • Can you capture video from the internet, using premiere pro cc?

    trying to capture video from the internet, using premiere pro cc, is that possible?
    also - it keeps saying "video capture offline" - any solutions for that?

    I am going to go out on a limb and say that while it may be against the YouTube terms of service to download or scrape a video off of their service, there are times that I really don't care since it is for my personal use. Providing myself or my wife with entertainment that she can watch or listen to on her smartphone while on an airplane, or in a car traveling down the road, just doesn't bother my moral compass. Doesn't make it twitch in the least.
    Perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps I shouldn't do it. Tough. I do, and will continue to do so until the Google police come knocking on my door.
    This is pretty much the same argument that they tried to kill the VCR with. The simple act of time shifting was something that was considered wrong, and illegal, until people came to their senses.
    As for the editing capability, you might be surprised at the ways it is possible to download video that works just fine for what I use it for. Premiere Pro has no problems allowing me to edit out the parts I don't like, or just aren't funny, and the quality really doesn't suffer much at all.
    Now, with the exception of something I did for my two year old Great Niece, I have never used any video that I have downloaded for anything except a tutorial, or in her case, a Sesame Street song I used when I shot video of me reading her the Sesame Street book that I purchased.
    Would it be wrong to post downloaded video, intact or edited, for public consumption? Sure it would. No question about it.
    But please do not assume that everyone downloading video from the Internet is doing so for nefarious purposes, and I promise not to assume everyone is a perfect angel and is following all the rules.

  • Capture audio from MIC and decode bitsream

    Hi, I am new to windows phone 8.1. I want to capture audio from the MIC using MediaCapture, first I can capture to the audio using recordToSorageFileAsync but I cannot capture it to just to a memory steam, how is this done? Also after it is captured either
    way the recorded data needs to be broken up into a byte array, so that I can bit decode, i.e. I need to determine what is a high and what is a low, the audio is Manchester encoded given a 1 = 25mSec on 25mSec off and a zero = 25mSec off 25mSec on, how can
    I decode the audio to find out this pattern, the audio pattern will have a fixed preamble of FF followed by the data.

    StartRecordToStreamAsync
    method provide the possibility to save to memory stream.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad:  File>Transfer Purchases
