Use remote to record audio on macbook

I need to record audio to my 15" Macbook Pro (2010). I will be using Mic In / Line In jack to record audio. (Audio is coming from a mixer, which will have wireless mic connected).
I just want to know, is there anyway I can use Macbook remote to start / stop audio recording?
I am thinking of using Garageband to record audio, because it seems to be good enough quality - but I can switch to another app if it allows me to start / stop through Apple Remote - OR - through my iPhone 4S?

That's a tough one to answer without more information. Does it have drivers that you can install to make it recognized by the computer? If you plug it in via firewire and your Mac recognizes it as a camera, but it does not show up as an audio device Logic, my guess would be that yoiu can't use it as an audio device.
Does it say anything about that in the manual? Does it show up as an audio device when you select Sound from your Mac's System Prefs?

Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones. Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio. I have all that figured out. I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs. What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix. I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone. I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone. I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
Problems I have run into so far:
-Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone. Can't figure this out
-Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower. Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
-When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
-I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't figure it out
-Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
Summed up:
Trying to record:
-Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
-Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
-Record screen gameplay through Screenium
I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps. That is done and these are my current settings:
Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record. Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel) Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it. I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3 (If any of this is imporant)

Hey guys,
I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
What software are you using to record your game?
If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

How do i record audio on macbook pro?

I've plugged a Blue brand "Yeti" USB microphone in, but this is my first time recording audio. What do I do next?

Your Mac should have come with GarageBand installed. You can use that to make recordings.
There are other good audio apps available.
Audacity is one, and it's free.
SoundStudio 4 is excellent, available in the App Store
WireTap Studio is also excellent (also does some things Audacity & Sound Studio can't do)

Want to use my voice recorder with my MacBook Pro

I have Olympus Voice-Trek V-11 and want to use it. The problem is that it's no longer supported by Mac. I use MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8.5. I appreciate it very much if anyone knows what should I do to make my voice recorder usable with my MacBook Pro?
In other words, I'm looking for something like Apache's Open Office to MS office suit.
I appreciate anyone's help very much!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To do what you want, do not use Migration Assistant. You will damage OS X. Instead, you need to erase the hard drive, remove everything from your MacBook Pro and restore the Time Machine backup, so you will be upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion.
It is as simple as holding down Command and R keys while your computer is starting up. Then, connect the external drive with the Time Machine backup, choose the option to transfer a Time Machine backup and follow the steps in the display.
As you will lose everything you have in the MacBook Pro, you may want to make a backup of its files first.

Something has changed - cannot use remote prointer with my new MacBook Pro

I replaced my 3 year old MacBookPro with a new one 3 weeks ago (late April 2010). I just discovered that my 4 month old remote laser pointer (RemotePoint RF VP4810R and RF wireless from SMK-Interlink - www.smklink.com) will not work with this new system. All it is supposed to do is advance (and go back) slides in Keynote. It works with every older Mac and every PC, but not with the new MacBookPro. I brought the device into the Apple store and it works with all older Macs they had but NONE of the new MacBookPros. Any ideas on what I can do? The store "genius's" blame it on the new chipset - a hypothesis with no solution. It used to be that Apple was plug and play. What is happening? One theory from Interlink is that they new Mac may not be effective in switching to lower speed USB devices. If true, it could affect many other devices.

I have found a temporary solution. Combining ideas from the Apple store guys (it's a chipset problem) and the SMK-Interlink customer service (new MacBookPro may not slow down for the really slow speed USB devices), I attached my combination card reader/USB hub I have to handle my multiple card types from my cameras. I attached the USB cable from the RemotePointer's RF Wireless device to the hub and everything works! So this may not be just a problem with this device, but any simple but slow USB device you plug into the new MacBook Pro. But that's my opinion, an untested theory.

Recording audio on macbook

Anyone tried any multi-track recording/editing yet on thier macbook? I am sure that the intel 1.83ghz macbook will blow my PPC imac g5 away but I am just curious. Any thoughts?

Oh yeah I totally have
Logic + Motu traveler + macbook = awesome
I love it
you can load so many tracks and virtual instruments etc and barely phase the processor
It works well and the new Reason universal is smoking on the Macbook
PS Not publicised but the audio on the macbook is the audio on the Intel board which is supposedly HD - it does get 96K sample rates and has optical IO and it sounds super good for a built in.
enjoy

Optical Drive gone on MacBook Trying To Install using Remote Disk

I've followed the instructions on using Remote Disk to reinstall my MacBook system software but the MacBook does not see the Remote Disk from my MacBook Pro. They are both on the same network and I've followed the instructions but when I hold down the Option key on my MacBook it only sees the MacBook hard drive - not the remote disk from the MacBook Pro. Is there another work around or a way to reinstall the operating system and updates using Firewire?

Start up the MacBook Pro with your install disk.
After you get to the install screen on the MacBook Pro connect the MacBook to the MacBook Pro in "Target Mode"with a firewire cable http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Then open "Disk Utility" from the install disk on the MacBook Pro. You should see both the MacBook and the MacBook Pro hard drives in there. Erase and partition the MacBook drive and then choose that drive when you go back to the install screen.

How can i install windows on new macbook air using remote drive on the bootcamp partition

Urgent: Flash Player 10, record audio - save locally on button click?

Hi there,
I am wondering if Flash Player 10 will allow a Flex app or a Flash app the ability for the user, inside of a web-page, to record some audio with their microphone then click a button to activate the OS's Save File dialog? The user would then just save the audio on their local filesystem.
I was thinking this had to be done with a Java app, but I am seeing that v10 allows saving if the user initiates the action (button click)... i cannot a definitive answer or example that shows recording audio without it going to FMS or Red5. The requirements of this app prohibit a media server so I am not sure if this can be done with Flash Player 10?
Is this possible? If so are there any examples of this flow?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, everyone,
If we can record audio from Flash Player 10 inside of a webpage and save audio files onto our local places by the use of mic applications, it will be very convenient. In fact, we can turn to use other available programs to record audio from flash and save locally by clicking buttons. It is possible to use recorders to record audio on flash or any other media players.
I don't know whether my guess is what you are thinking or not, perhaps you need to search for more information.
Regards.

Recording audio with the macbook

HOWDY HO EVERBODY!!!
is there anybody out there who is using their macbook to record audio?i'd really like to know the results/problems.for those of you out there who do use computer based audio recording software,and r using pro tools in particular,pt version 7.1.1 was released yesterday!
(you can download it at the 'compatibility' section of the digidesign user conference/duc).this update is for the new intel core duo processers,making pro tools compatible with all iMacs,mac minis and macbook pros.it says in the digidesign website that macbooks are not yet qualified for the software update,but there r a few ppl on the duc that hav already tried the software on their macbooks.i just ordered my macbook last week (1.83)and i can't wait!!

I use garage band from iLife '05 side by side with ProTools mBox 6.4 on my eMac and stuck there because I have to pay extra for upgrade to 6.7. So I wait until I really need newer Protools for my Black Mac Book, and if I need it I might go with mBox 2.
I just got my Mac Book yesterday so I haven't play with garage band on that, but you cannot depend on built in mike to capture the audio for sure because of the unwanted environment ambience that also captured by that mike or captured mac book fan and noise. Invest a dedicated decent mike for that.

How to record audio using wireless phone headset on a mac (Adobe CS6)?

I have purchased a Plantronics Savvi w440 headset, with which I want to record audio. I was assured by the company that I could.
Well, Audition won't record me talking; it only "picks up" about 1 sec, then stops recording.
I have used a variety of mics before; I know how to set them up in Audio Hardware. My Default input & output are this new headset. Still, no recording.
I have Audition CS6 on a macbook pro.
I need help. Thanks.

Thanks Bob for your help. I had already downloaded and installed the software for this headset on my Mac. Still won't work. There are no updates for this headset. At least, I haven't found one.

Help - Recording audio interviews for use as podcasts

Hi there -
I'm looking for guidance on getting started with recording audio interviews and then putting on the net as a podcast. Key questions are:
- What is the best equipment to use when starting, in terms of microphones etc.?
etc.(The interviews will be mostly in person, but some may be over skype)
- What software should I use to create podcast? (i have garageband & final vinyl on my macbook)
- What are the 'watch-outs'/most common mistakes I should watch for?
Any help much appreciated.

These two pages offer some suggestions:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/Interfaces.html
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/Microphones.html
The author of these pages posts in the GarageBand Forum as do others who use it, and it's a good place to ask questions about this.
As to creating a podcast, once you have made the MP3 audio files (in GarageBand or an audio editor such as Audacity) my recommendation would be Podcast Maker which will write the feed for you and upload it and the files to a server; it writes a good feed and isn't given to causing problems. iWeb can also make a podcast, together with an associated web page, though you may have less control over how it's done.

How can I record audio playing on my ipad on my new macbook pro?

I am using a music app on my ipad without "sound export" capabilities. I want to record the sound using either a) another app on my ipad, or preferably b) by using the 1/8" port on my ipad to send the sound to be recorded via software on my macbook.
When trying the latter, I can't seem to get a signal. I tried all sound settings, the software called LineIn and Audio Hijak, and still no luck :/.
Any ideas?

You should be able to import photos using Image Capture (which is built in), iPhoto or Aperture. Are you using one of these programs without success? What happens when you try?
If the camera and computer simply aren't connecting, you may want to consider getting a card reader (or, if you have the right MacBook Pro and the right card, using the one built into the MacBook Pro), then pop the memory card out of the camera and connect it directly to the computer. This is a better option anyway, since it does not drain the camera's battery to transfer the photos.

Using a remote desktop connection with the Macbook pro.

I use the remote desktop connection on the Macbook pro and am unable to exchange info between the mac and the remote connetion windows. For example, if I am writing an email from the remote connection and want to attach a document, photo etc. that I created on the Mac, it just doesn't work. It seems like the Mac and the desktop connection are completely seperated eventhough they are both on the screen in front of me. the systems I use for work are not Apple compatible and will not work on anything other than windows explorer and in my case the remote desk top connection. Any ideas!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Try running in 'ClamShell' mode (MacBook Pro lid closed and using an external keyboard and mouse) with the Gateway connected and then run System Preferences/Displays, it should show then ...
My 1920x1080 monitor shows the following:

HT200131 When I connect my MacBook Air to my TV using Apple TV, the audio stays on my MacBook and does not transfer to my TV. Thus the volume is very low when I am watching a Movie on my TV and I have to listen to the volume from my laptop. How can I fix

When I connect my MacBook to my television using Apple TV the audio stays on the MacBook and doesn't transfer to the TV. How can I make it so I can hear the Movie or Video through my TV's speakers and not my MacBook's?

This is called "extended desktop mode". It's an extension of the desktop off to the right (by default) of your MBair screen. Grab an app and drag it off the right side of your MBair screen and it will appear on the TV.
To mirror your MBair screen on the TV you can press Command F1. This will toogle between mirror and extended desktop.
You can find all the settings in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.
