Voice recording in iTunes

I am trying to record my own voice (just talking) and make it an mp3 file to send it as an attachment in the e-mail.
Is that possable with iTunes or do I need some other Mac program?
I could do it in iMovie HD 6, copy it to the desktop and bring it to iTunes. From there I'll change it to mp3 and drag it to the desktop again.
Is there an easier way?

This link is specifically about creating a podcast, but it talks about voice recording in GarageBand. Check out this link:

And if you have iLife, you should have GarageBand.

  • How do I upload a digital voice recording to iTunes 10?

    I have a new Olympus VN8100 digital voice recorder that I used the other day to record a meeting.  The instructions tell you how to hook it up to a Mac and how to dismount it, but not what to do in between to upload the recording to a computer. 
    I did manage to burn the recording to a CD-R, but I can't find  an "Import CD" option in the File menu, so I haven't been able to store it on my Mac.  When I select "Add to Library...", neither the burned CD-R nor the VN8100 icon shows up in the list of Desktop items. 
    I can't even figure out how to play back the CD I burned to make sure it burned successfully--iTunes Help doesn't offer anything useful and the tutorials don't cover that.
    I assumed I could put a spoken recording on my computer with the iTunes application, but maybe that's changed with iTunes 10?  Can anyone walk me through this?  Thanks so much for your help!

    Thanks for the software suggestion - http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Audio/Audio-Recorder.shtml - it looks good. Why do you use it instead of Garage Band?
    Had it before GB existed; I use other audio software for other tasks, but this one is probably the most easy to use app (of any kind) I've ever used. Click, speak, click, click. Done, with file sitting on my desktop.

  • Simple voice recording into itunes

  • Does the iPad 3 gen, have a voice recorder?

    Does the iPad 3rd gen with retina display, have a voice recorder?

    Not as a built in app - no it does not. If you need a voice recorder, you will have to download an app from the App Store. An app like Quick Voice Recorder.

  • How can I convert and/or import .3ga Android phone Voice Recorder files to iTunes playable format?

    My new Android smart phone (Samsung Galaxy S Blaze) has a pre-installed "Voice Recorder" which creates .3ga files of whatever I record with that app. But I can't find anyway to play or utilize them on my PC. I'm new to iTunes (for Windows Vista), and I'm hoping it can play these files somehow but when I drag them to the iTunes window the red circle with a line through it shows up and the file doesn't get transferred.  I've also tried importing via iTunes File > Add file to library > click on file on my PC, but then after a second the "Add to Library" window disappears and the Voice file is nowhere to be found in iTunes. Any ideas are welcome. I'm pretty low tech....
    Thanks!

    No, you cannot do that at this time.

  • PC voice recorder recording into Mac iTunes

    I have an Olympus voice recorder that said it would work on my Mac but it doesn't.  So I use it on a pc.  But my iTunes is on my Mac and I'd really like to get a recording off of the recorder and into iTunes.  I tried mailing the recording from a pc, opening and downloading it on my Mac but it comes up as garbled text. 

    Save the WMA files onto the Mac.  Play them with VLC or install Flip4Mac on your computer to play them with Quicktime player.
    VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
    Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
    Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
    Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
    Flip4Mac - http://www.telestream.net/
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.  There is a free version but they don't make that very clear (I wonder why?).  To do conversion vs. just playback you have to use the paid version.
    Alternatively, try converting them (there will be quality loss): 
    Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html
    All2MP3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - mixed success with WMA

    What does recording your voice have to do with signing in/out (of something)?

  • The Voice recording app, is there an easy way to transfer the file to Itunes?

    I have a very long file that was recorded in the Voice Recording App on my Iphone, and I am trying to upload it to my Itunes. How is this accomplished? Has anyone done this before?
    Thanks

    Hi Orcagirl24,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The answer to your question is in the iPhone User Guide on page 106.
    I've included a link to the entire guide for you below, and highlighted what you are looking for.
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Sharing voice memos with your computer
    Sync voice memos with iTunes: Connect iPhone to your computer, then in iTunes select iPhone.
    Select Music at the top of the screen (between Apps and Movies),
    select Sync Music, select “Include voice memos,” and click Apply.
    Voice memos synced from iPhone to your computer appear in the Music list and in the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes.
    Memos synced from your computer appear in the Voice Memos app on iPhone, but not in the Music app.
    Cheers,
    Judy

  • Problem syncing voice memos to ITunes from IPhone 4?

    Recorded Voice Memos will not sync to Voice Memos in ITunes. After connecting the IPhone, I tried Transferring Purchases, then Backup, but they do not appear in the ITunes library. Have been having this issue since latest update on 25/4/2014. I tried unticking and reticking reference to Voice Memos under Music.
    Your advice would be greatly appreciated

    Hi mallee fowl,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are trying to transfer Voice Memos to your iTunes Library. On the Summary pane in the sync settings make sure your Manually manage music and videos in not check marked and when you sync your iPhone a playlist should be created called Voice Memos in iTunes. Please use the following article for reference. 
    iPod: Recording voice memos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2396
    Synchronize
    If iPod is set to update songs automatically and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically downloaded to a playlist in iTunes when you connect iPod. Once downloaded, the voice memos are removed from the Voice Memos folder on your iPod. To play the voice memos that have been synchronized to your computer in iTunes, select the Voice Memos playlist on the left side of the iTunes window. To play the synchronized voice memos on the iPod, select the Voice Memos playlist in the Music menu, not the Voice Memos menu in the Extras menu.
    I hope this helps,  
    -Joe

  • How can I use my ipod touch 2G as a voice recorder?

    I'd like to use my old ipod touch as a voice recorder. It's an ipod touch 2G (8 gig) using iOS 2.2.1. I tried updating the iOS but an unknown error (-1) occurred. I'm using iTunes 11.3 on a MacBook Pro 10.7.5. Any ideas?

    Error (-1)
    Try on another computer
    Also see:
    iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes
    Then see:
    -1 error
    -1 error too
    If still problem  that means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If you get it to work I then the 2G iPod has a built-in Voice Memos app but you will need to purchase an microphone since the 1G-3G iPods did not have built-in mics. The mic plugs into the headphone jack.

  • Why doesn't deleting Voice Memos in iTunes delete them on my iPod Touch

    hi. i synch my ipod touch with itunes and all my newly recorded voice memos come to my library in the voice memo playlist. according to the ipod touch manual i go and delete the unnecessary voice memos in my library and typically they are deleted from the voice memo playlist. when i synch my ipod i expect the deleted voice memos are also deleted from my ipod touch but it doesn't. this is very annoying for me because i am visually impaired and deleting and managing voice memos in my library and synching them with my ipod is much much easier for me rather than deleting them using the device. any idea?
    thanks

    The Users Guide says:
    "However, if you delete a voice memo from
    iTunes, it is deleted from iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes. "
    - Are you saying the Voice Memos are still on the iPod after you sync?
    If yest see if resetting the iPod will correct the problem.  Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be to restore from backup followed by restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
    traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
    Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
    external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
    Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
    ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
    wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
    Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
    be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
    most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
    is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
    Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
    electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
    Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
    remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
    Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
    & mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
    Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
    at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
    PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
    or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

  • Modified voice recording that wont open

    I was transferring a voice recording from quick voice to my mac using Diskaid. All successful but i decided to rename the numbered recording with an easy to find name and it changed into a document that will not open or change back to its original format.

    Have you tried importing the wav files you did find to iTunes?

  • Digital Voice Recorder iMac compatible

    Hope I'm in the right forum! Still very new to iMac and still in the process of transferring data from Windows. Each day I come across something that is not compatible - today it is my Olympus Voice Recorder which I rely on. I used to download the recording onto PC, convert the file and edit and cut - then save to iTunes. Now,that's not possible on iMac. Do you know which voice recorder I could get that is compatible with iMac. One that I can download the entire recording to and use software (which?) to cut and crop and edit etc and put into my itunes? I am guessing that there is already an application in OS X which will allow the editing - it is more a case of how to get it on the iMac to start with. Thanks. SM

    Audacity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ) in conjunction with Soundflower ( http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/ ) will let you do most things you may need, including recording direct from web inputs.
    It'll open and edit most sound formats and the editing options are pretty good for a freebie. version 1.3.12b is pretty stable and I've not found any major bugs yet.
    Export options are also comprehensive, though for most purposes, .mp3 or .aif are all that's needed.
    There's a wiki page for it at http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
    No doubt there'll be other equally valid suggestions; this is far from the only option (but it is free!)
