Turning off the built-in microphone to record in Garage Band

I have connected my acoustic guitar to my iMac (new) via a M-Audio recording interface and have switched the settings in "System Preferences" to my M-Audio device, yet the built-in microphone atop the monitor is the one recording and it won't switch off.
Help please.

  • S1 Yoga - How to turn off the built-in display/mo​nitor?

    Hi,
    Trying to find a way/hotkey to turn off the built-in display whilst I'm connected to another external monitor with the Thinkpad S1 Yoga model. Do you guys know how to do it?
    I could even remap any of the default hotkeys if someone knows how to do that as well, as the defaults are not too useful for me...
    Thank you!!
    Solved!

  • Capturing on a Mac- can't turn off the sound (still want to record the audio)

    How do you turn off audio output during capture on a mac but I still want to record the audio?

    Easy on a PC, I click the "speaker" icon at lower right of Windows screen and bring up the audio mixer and just MUTE Premiere, then I can surf the web, watch online videos, listen to music etc, without hearing the capture audio. Assuming that's what you wish to do? Must be a similar option on Mac
    Thanks

  • How can i use the built-in microphone at the same time as using my earphones? (they have an external mic attached)

    I am recording stuff on garageband and i need to hear other tracks as I'm playing, but I have to play them through external earphones so that the they don't overlap onto the one I'm creating.
    The wire for my earphones has an external microphone attached to it, however, I have no desire to use this microphone as it is ridiculously sensitive and picks up even the slightest vibrations when the wires rub against my cheek or my t-shirt.
    Therefore, I need to use the built-in microphone when recording. Except that, whenever I plug in the earphones to the iMac, garageband automatically switches to the external microphone. I went in to the Garageband preferences, and saw that it was set up for recording through the built-in mic, which is strange because input is clearly coming from the external.
    So, I went into the iMac System preferences > sound > input. There are three options here: Internal microphone, Line-in, and Soundbooth 3.0.
    What I found is that whenever I plug my earphones into the iMac, the option for 'Internal microphone' changes into an option for 'external microphone'. Now, I am fairly sure that an 'external microphone' is EXACTLY the same thing as a 'Line-in', but I'm not so sure now, so please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
    How do I stop the iMac from changing 'Internal microphone' to 'External microphone'? It is very important that I am able use the earphones and the Built-in Mic at the same time.

  • I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

    I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

    A third-party app probably cannot obtain a stream from another app. To the best of my knowledge, such a capability is not provided in the software development kit, apps being "sandboxed" from each other and so allowed to communicate only in very specific and limited ways.
    I'm not completely sure what you mean by "limitations on video capture". An iPhone, to the best of my knowledge, can natively record video only through it's built-in camera, and audio while doing video recording only through the built-in microphone or mic/headphone jack. There might be a video recording app that would allow audio input from an external device connected to the dock connector, but I'm not sure.

  • How do I get the built in microphone to work on my IMac?  Camera works fine, but I can't record voice.

    How do I get the built-in microphone to work on my IMac?  Camera works fine, but I can't record sound.

    I always assummed that the mic was part of iSight (intertwined?).  The mic is situated right next to iSight.  It would seem to me the solutions would be the same some what.
    Regarding the OP, I also suspect his/her problem is hardware.  It's rather unusual for the internal mic to not work yet the iSight does.

  • How do I turn off the camera lights when recording a video with the Android Turbo?

    I want to use the Andriod Turbo camera video function in ambient lighting using the forward lens.  But when I start recording both lights stay on.  I can video with ambient using the look back lens.  Not as good a quality and harder to aim.
    Is there a setting that can turn off the lights until I want them?  How is it done?
    Thanks for the help.

    Thank You!  Problem solved.  I am a new user to 'smart phones' and my original question probably should have been "How Do I Find The Camera Settings Menu?"
    It wasn't obvious, but your reply got me searching again.  I found that if you drag your finger from the left side of the screen to the center the semi-circular menu appears on the left.  There I found the light control and other options.
    I didn't know it existed and the manufacturer's manual that came with the phone gave no instructions on the camera operation.
    abcdefg4, your comment helped me search a little harder.  Thank you again.

  • Turn off the vibration or message notification automatically during video recording.

    Please add on mechanism to turn off the vibration or mute the message notification automatically during video recording, due to the motor vibration sound always reocrd into the video.

     You could set your phone to silent  http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/Lollipop-New-Features/m-p/955490#U955490 It's not ideal but it does the trick.  I agree with you, I wish we had an option that if an app/game it's on immersive mode, like while using the camera, we had an option to deactivate the notifications popping and/or the notifications without having to set the phone to silent.  

  • Which Canon Camcorder has the best built in microphone for recording musical instruments

    Which Canon Camcorder in the affordable price range has the best built in onboard microphone for recording musical instruments
    Thanks.

    TheBee,
    Thanks for writing!
    The built-in microphones on the camcorder are fairly similar.  When you're recording music, we recommend the use of an external microphone.
    The mic you use really depends on what you're recording and where.
    So we may better assist you, please provide a bit of information regarding the type of recordings you'll be making, the music and the setting (i.e. what kind of venue, your distance to the music, etc).

  • How do I use the built-in microphone on my iMac while using Windows XP?

    My iMac has a built-in microphone. My computer is set up with a partition to run either mac or windows. I would like to use the built-in microphone feature when I am using Windows XP. Is there any way that I can do this?

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    assuming you have installed the neccessary BootCamp Drivers from the OSX Leopard DVD the internal mic is useable with any kind of recording software.
    Windows itself has a rather rudimentary Audiorecorder program built-in.
    For a more sophisticated recording program have a look at Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

    Other than iMovie, GB always incorporates the audio files into the GB package. So just save or move the GB project to the external drive, and you're done - anything you import, edit or record will be saved to the external drive.

    How do I turn off my built in camera (green light)? It's always on.

    That's my next move. Just read about other people having the same issue & turning it off (not re-starting) & waiting a few minutes before turning it back on has worked for some & not for others...
    Wish me luck.

  • How do I turn off the metronome in my final mix?

    I used Garage Band to record a live interview that I want to broadcast on my radio show. Unbeknowst to me, a click track was running during the recording. Now the track has an obnoxious click track running behind the vocal. I have turned off the metronome but it still keeps ticking away. Obviously I do not want this click track running behind the interview on the radio. How do I get the metronome to turn off in my final mix?

    If the metronome got recorded on your track from a mic with it coming out of your speakers (the only way it could have been recorded) there's no way to take it out. When you say you turned it off, did you just uncheck it in the control menu? Or did you go to the preferences and change its behavior there? I have mine set for recording only, not on playback. But if you turned it off in the control menu, then it should not be present, unless you inadvertently recorded it from your speakers as I described, and it is not going anywhere. This is one reason it is best to monitor your recording with headphones and not speakers, since anything that comes out of them will be recorded with a live mic close by.

  • Camileo S20 - Is it possible to turn off the screen?

    Is it possible to turn off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection modes so as to save power?

    Hi buddy,
    I have downloaded the user manual off Camileo S20 and searched a little bit but unfortunately I can find no informations about turning off the screen when using Time Lapse or Motion Detection. It seems that the screen is always on.
    But you can connect the AC adaptor while recording movies. So you have always power. :)
