Lenovo g580 do I need to buy an external audio interface to record live instruments and voice ?

Hello, If anyone could help me please ?, I am wondering do I need to buy an external audio interface to record live instruments and voice onto my lenovo g580.?
My friends have said that good laptops have audio interface's built in... but I cannot see how this could work as I am trying to build a home recording studio. Do they mean that I just need to have a mixing desk ? As the audio interface is already in my laptop, ?
Another question I have is... I have bought a microphone to record with a studio mic. But when I plug it into the headphone socket, it works as a speaker and not as a microphone. Please can you tell me how do I make it work as a microphone, and record on ableton. Thanks. I live alone with two cats so I'd really appreciate some help !
Thank you very much, best wishes.

I'm preparing to expand my studio from a 1 man songwriting system,
to add the capability to record a complete live band, with 16 separate
simultaneous tracks recording. Am I dreaming?
Nope. I've been recording live bands with up to 56 channels at 24 bit 48kHz for three years now.
1) Does my computer have enough native power to handle such a task?
Yes. The actual recording uses the hard drive buss, so you need to make sure you have fast drives and a dedicated FW or SATA buss for them.
2) Is there an audio interface device that could help shoulder some of
the cpu load?
No. CPU is used only for routing audio, effects, etc. An audio interface is used to route the audio in and out of the computer, and as such does not process effects at all.
3) is it possible to use my multiple, fast internal drives to help?
Yes. Although with Logic Pro you can use only one drive at a time for recording. HOWEVER, I have been able to use SATA drives to record up to 56 tracks AT ONCE. So there is plenty of power there.
4) If not 16, what's the highest realistic track count I can hope for?
Again, I have done 56 tracks. 16 is a walk in the park in comparison to 56. I would recommend you invest in Apogee AD16X and DA16X, since in one interface you get ALL 16 inputs, and the other gives you the 16 outputs to go to, say, a mixer. And the sound quality is very very very good.
thanks in advance
You're welcome.

I have itunes match and my phone is still filled with songs and have no room for anything else.

I have itunes match and my phone is still filled with songs and have no room for anything else. Must be a set up issue since I assumed all songs would be in the cloud and not on my phone.

Match backs up your music in iCloud, it does not remove it from the phone. It still needs to be on the phone if you want to listen to it.

How to record with vocals and guitar live?

Issues recording with internal and external mics - blip blip noises

soon as a click record it begins to record my voice but it also makes these audable "blip blip" noises every second which come through the speakers and then recorded in the track. i can record with audacity fine. i have checked the tracks properties and removed any filters but this still happens.. this happened awhile back and since then the machine has been formated so a new install has already occurred.
very confused

Filter records with month and date

Hi,
i have records as follows in the table.
custno trn_dt amount
1 01-jan-06 100
1 10-jan-06 200 --->
1 15-feb-06 300
2 15-dec-06 111
2 15-jan-06 222 --->
2 01-fen-06 333
If i specify the runtime parameter as JAN-06 the output of the report should be with 2 records indicated with arrows above.
the query should pick up the record with the highest date for a specific customer.
in the above example for customer "1" 10-jan-06 is highest date and for customer "2" 15-jan-06 is the highest date.
hope the requirement is clear.
thanks in advance

SELECT custno, trn_dt, amount
FROM TABLE
WHERE (custno,trn_dt) IN
(SELECT custno, MAX(trn_dt)
FROM TABLE
GROUP BY custno)
There are many examples on this in SQL and PL/SQL forum.

Recording with Quicktime and adding effect

Hi all. I am recording Firewire video in Quicktime Player. The audio comes from a seperate source, through the line-in. To synchronize, I need to delay the audio by 600 ms. Does anyone have a method of doing so? I have an AU delay that would work. I just can't figure out how to apply it to the live lin-in.
Thanks very much for any help.
Jeremy

I'll pass on some things I discovered, in case anyone has this question or anyone can add to this.
I succeeded to some degree, by doing this:
1. Installed Soundflower; this creates virtual sound inputs and outputs, so sound can be passed between applications.
2. In GarageBand, I created a real instrument.
3. Set input to Line-in
4. Added the Voxengo Delay AU (http://www.voxengo.com/product/sounddelay) which is free and simple. The Apple AUDelay repeats the sound as well, rather than just delaying it (unless I missed something).
5. Set GarageBand's sound output to Sountflower, and turned monitoring on.
6. In QT player, new movie recording, with audio input set to "Soundflower".
The good news is that I can save the GarageBand document, which can be opened and everything is immediately running. But, it would be nice if there was a way to add an effect to any input directly so that I only have to use one application.
Any suggestions to streamline this? It is for an installation which will be run by students, so the fewer steps needed to set this up the better.

Live Recording with mics and Software Instruments

Has anyone used the Software Instruments in GB to play live, while recording the Software Instruments direct and live (Real Instruments) as well?
I'm thinking about getting a FirePod or similar, to record my band live using several mics and playing and recording Software Instruments all at once. I'm concerned that this set up might have too much latency and make the Software Instruments not playable with my band live, and perhaps all this might make my iMac G5 bog down.
Anyone have any experiences with any or all of this kind of use of GarageBand with an audio/MIDI interface?
iMac G5 20" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hey Hang,
Sorry if I'm talking in circles. That post was early!
I'd like to be able to use the built-in Software Instruments live and record that MIDI as well as the live tracks at the same time. However, I could deal with using my own keyboards for the live sounds and just record the MIDI from them while recording the live tracks too, if that makes the system work. For instance, if the part I wanted was a piano, and the Software Instrument piano used too much processor power, I could "record" with a smaller instrument that wasn't such a hog. Then, in mixing, I'd use the Software Instrument I wanted for the keyboard part. Live, my real keyboard could provide the piano for all to hear.
Am I making sense yet?
I suppose one thing I could do is something I was thinking of doing already. I could get one of the $40 MIDI-to-USB interfaces to record with the band. Right now, I'm just using a stereo mic set up to record stereo into GB. I could add MIDI and see what happens. Heck, I could enable 6 more real instrument tracks at the same time and see what happens! Then I would know it was possible on the iMac at least.

How can I 'fill free space with songs' AND keep some memory free?

I like the 'automatically fill free space with songs' option, but it leaves me with no room (or very little room) for taking photos and video. How can I keep some memory free?

You'll probably need to backup or clone the remaining OS X partition, definitely clone the bootcamp partition then erase and reformat the drive. You'll need a 3rd party app.

Multi-track recording with GB1 and GB2

I recently purchased a new RME Fireface 800 and want to begin recording multi-track audio.
I plan to purchase DP in the future but have spent my $ allocation for now and want to be able to at least get started using something simple and cheap like GB. I currently have GB1 and have learned from experience that it does not support multi-track recording. If GB2 does I will UG.
Has anyone successfully recorded 8 tracks simultaneously with GB2 and if so how?

I finally got around to fixing a typo in the anchor for the above link, but instead of adding it, i replaced the typo which breaks the above link. The correct (and hopefully final) URL is:

Importing Text file in to iTunes with song and artist names

A friend made a compilation CD for me. He exported the artist and song names in to a text file from iTunes. I am having trouble importing the information in to my itunes. The people at the apple store said that it was not possible and that I would have to import his whole iTunes library.
Thanks.

Hi Dennis,
In order to import flat files into MDM do the following. This solution is specific to MS Windows:
I. Set up ODBC for *.txt or *.csv files
1. Open Data Sources (ODBC) interface:
Start> Settings> Control Panel--> Administrative Tools -->Data Sources (ODBC).
2. Select System DSN Tab in Data Sources (ODBC) interface.
3. Click on [Add]. Select the Microsoft Text Driver. Click Finish.
4. Write a Data Source Name
5. Uncheck Use Current Directory to enable the [Select Directory] button.
6. Click on [Select directory] to determine the source directory.
7. Select the source file.
8. Click [OK] and return to the ODBC Text Setup screen.
9. Click [OK].
10. Return to the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog and click [OK].
II. Importing from Flat file
1. Run MDM Import Manager.
2. Select ODBC from the Type drop-down field of the Connect To Source dialog.
3. Enter the DSN name from the Setup ODBC Connection dialog above.
4. Select the file name with extension (.csv or .txt) in the Tables panel of MDM Import Manager and the file content in the Records panel.
Hope this solved your problem.Please mark helpful answers

Santosh.

I want to record my guitar and voice

First post!
So I've got an acoustic-electric guitar that I've been recording in GarageBand 3 on my MacBook Pro. I record by plugging my guitar into into the audio in line using a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter.
Basically, I want to be able to record both my guitar and my voice at the same time. I already have a Memorex MKA301.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AHSAM/ref=sr111/103-7498225-6408650?%5Fencoding=UTF8
I know that this microphone is kinda cheap so I may want to get a new one of those too.
I'm looking for some info as to what my options are and what everybody would recommend.
I'm aware that there is the M-Audio FastTrack Recording Interface for $99.95 but it seems that it got several bad reviews on the Apple Store.
Then there is also the M-Audio FireWire 410 Audio/MIDI Interface for $399.95 (but I can find it for around $250). I was kinda leaning towards this one, but wanted too hear some opinions first.
Could anyone out there give me some advice on what I should use. All I really need is something that is reasonably priced and will record well. I may want to add other instrument tracks later so that's why I was thinking about the 410.
Any information you could provide me with or any link to helpful sites or products would be greatly appreciated.
(Note: I just became a Mac person about 1 month ago, so I'm still learning)
15" MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 GB SDRAM

I had a fast tracks usb and it worked great and at $99 it is well worth it. But if you plan on recording vocal and guitar you will need a XLR plug on your mic because it only has two inputs 1/4 and XLR.
Also you don't need a multichannel interface to record multiple tracks, only multiple tracks at the same time.
If your doing all the instruments yourself the fast track or fast track pro may be a good idea for now and then when you need it upgrade to a more expensive firewire interface.
And make sure whatever you get will work with your intel mac.
I just read some of the negative comments about the fast track usb. I don't think some of these people know what there doing. Comments like it only records on the left channel shows user error.

What's wrong with Siri and Voice dictation?

Neither Siri or voice dictation is working today.
Any idea what the problem is?

I was having problems with dictation for days - the 3 dots would just vibrate a second, and then disappear. It wasn't an internet connection issue at all.
Finally found a (bizarre) solution on another site - use Siri to dicate a text (e.g., activate Siri; tell it to send a text to ________; then she'll ask you for the content and you say what you want), then tell her to send it.
Voila, now if you go to use dictation, it works again. (At least, that bizarre method worked for me -- I tried dictating an email and it didn't work; used Siri to send a text; then went back and tried dictation again and it was working perfectly.)

Primary key violation when inserting records with insert_identity and ident_current+x

My problem is this: I have data in a couple of temporary tables including
relations (one table referencing records from another table by using
temporary keys).
Next, I would like to insert the data from the temp tables to my productive tables which have the same structure but their own identity keys. Hence, I need to translate the 'temporary' keys to regular identity keys in my productive tables.
This is even more difficult because the system is highly concurrent, i.e. multiple sessions may try to insert
data that way simultaneously.
So far we were running the following solution, using a combination of
identity_insert and ident_current:
create table doc(id int identity primary key, number varchar(100))
create table pos (id int identity primary key, docid int references doc(id), qty int)
create table #doc(idx int, number varchar(100))
create table #pos (docidx int, qty int)
insert #doc select 1, 'D1'
insert #doc select 2, 'D2'
insert #pos select 1, 10
insert #pos select 1, 12
insert #pos select 2, 32
insert #pos select 2, 9
declare @docids table(ID int)
set identity_insert doc on
insert doc (id,number)
output inserted.ID into @docids
select ident_current('doc')+idx,number from #doc
set identity_insert doc off
-- Since scope_identity() is not reliable, we get the inserted identity values this way:
declare @docID int = (select min(ID) from @docids)
insert pos (docid,qty) select @docID+docidx-1, qty from #pos
Since the request to ident_current() is located directly in the insert statement, we always have an implicit transaction which should be thread safe to a certain extend.
We never had a problem with this solution for years until recently when we were running in occasional primary key violations. After some reasearch it turned out, that there were concurrent sessions trying to insert records in this way.
Does anybody have an explanation for the primary key violations or an alternative solution for the problem?
Thank you
David

>> My problem is this: I have data in a couple of temporary tables including relations (one table referencing records [sic] from another table by using temporary keys [sic]). <<
NO, your problem is that you have no idea how RDBMS and SQL work.
1. Rows are not anything like records; this is a basic concept.
2. Temp tables are how old magnetic tape file mimic scratch tapes. SQL programmers use CTEs, views, derived tables, etc.
3. Keys are a subset of attributes of an entity, fundamental characteristics of them! A key cannot be temporary by definition.
>> Next, I would like to insert the data from the temp tables to my production tables which have the same structure but their own IDENTITY keys. Hence, I need to translate the 'temporary' keys to regular IDENTITY keys in my productive tables. <<
NO, you just get worse. IDENTITY is a 1970's Sybase/UNIX dialect, based on the sequential file structure used on 16-bit mini computers back then. It counts the physical insertion attempts (not even successes!) and has nothing to with a logical data model. This
is a mag tape drive model of 1960's EDP, and not RDBMS.
>> This is even more difficult because the system is highly concurrent, i.e. multiple sessions may try to insert data that way simultaneously. <<
Gee, that is how magnetic tapes work, with queues. This is one of many reasons competent SQL programers do not use IDENTITY.
>> So far we were running the following solution, using a combination of IDENTITY_INSERT and IDENT_CURRENT: <<
This is a kludge, not a solution.
There is no such thing as a generic “id” in RDBMS; it has to be “<something in particular>_id” to be valid. You have no idea what the ISO-11179 rules are. Even worse, your generic “id” changes names from table to table! By magic, it starts as a “Doc”,
then becomes a “Pos” in the next table! Does it wind up as a “doc-id”? Can it become a automobile? A squid? Lady Gaga?
This is the first principle of any data model; it is based on the Law of Identity; remember that from Freshman Logic 101? A data element has one and only one name in a model.
And finally, you do not know the correct syntax for INSERT INTO, so you use the 1970's Sybase/UNIX dialect! The ANSI/ISO Standard uses a table consrtuctor:
INSERT INTO Doc VALUES (1, 'D1'), (2, 'D2');
>> We never had a problem with this solution for years until recently when we were running in occasional PRIMARY KEY violations. After some research it turned out, that there were concurrent sessions trying to insert records [sic] in this way. <<
“No matter how far you have gone down the wrong road, turn around.” -- Turkish proverb.
You have been mimicking a mag tape file system and have not written correct SQL. It has caught up with you in a way you can see. Throw out this garbage and do it right.
