What gear do I need? (to record vocal mic and iPod)

HELP
I have a powerbook and I am running a vocal mic and an iPod with some karaoke tracks on it through a Yamaha Stage Pass system and I want to record into garageband, then import it to iTunes and email the mp3 files to some friends and family.
what gear will I need to be able to keep my setup the same (it has an RCA port for a recording device) and just run it straight to my powerbook and garageband?????
thanks!

Hi tooch,
welcome to the forum!!
If you have a line out on your yamaha, then all you need is a cable to plug into the macs's line-in.
if it has seperate 1/4'' left and right outs, you'll need to get a "y" cable that has two mono 1/4'' TS plugs into a stereo 1/8'' TRS plug. Radioshack has them.
Good luck tooch!!

I don't play any Facbook games, but I'm assuming that they are played using your browser (Safari, Firefox, etc.).

What drivers do I need to reinstall different OS and where can I download them for ThinkPads T61?

I just accidentally purchased one ThinkPads T61 with Linux OS version. I don't use Linux so I plan to wipe out Linux and install Windows XP Pro instead. I have the Windows OS, but as I know I will need to install some drivers afterward to make the notebook work properly.
My question would be: How many and what drivers do I need to reinstall different OS and where can I download them?
Thank you for your help!
Solved!

Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.

What Gear do i need to enable WDM (DWDM) on a Dark Fiber?

We have Dark Fiber between 2 DCs and would like to enable WDM on it. What Cisco Optical Gear do i need for this? We would also link to enable Encryption on this link as well. TIA

You can do "simple" CWDM with the Cisco WDM series of CWDM Passive devices. Those can support 4 or 8 channels.
They depend on you "feeding" them signals from special transceiver models that modulate the light on a wavelength compliant with the ITU-50GHz channels listed in the DWDM SFP+ data sheet Leo mentioned and linked to.
The compatibility matrix tells you what Cisco gear is compatible with those transceivers. If you're using other 3rd party gear, they have equivalent support matrices. The bottom line is you need to match wavelengths to what the mux is expecting.
If you move up to the ONS 15454 line you have more flexibility - transponder cards etc that will transform standard SFP+ (1550 nm 10 Gbps signalling on fiber) to the ITU channels etc. You're talking serious money there though - hundreds of thousands of US$. Cisco will be happy to send a sales engineer over and build a nice detailed bill of materials if that's in your budget.

OT: What viewers do you need to use ALL audio and video files?

I had a lot of trouble with audio and video files on my PC. I
now have a
MacBook Pro, which is a big improvement. But I still
frequently
encounter files that I can't use. I try to open them, but
Apple doesn't
know what to do with them. For example, I often encounter
unusable
videos while perusing news websites. I also have some audio
files with
.mva or .mvw extensions that don't work.
So what viwers/players do I need to download in order to be
able to play
every audio/video file that comes my way? iTunes handles .mp3
files, and
I also have QuickTime installed. I just viewed another video
after I
installed a Flash plugin. What else do I need to install?
Thanks.

Need help recording with mic.

I'm trying to use a usb MicLink by Alesis, with my Electro-Voice PL20, the sound is great...except for this audible hissing that is always in the background...I put the mic in a case full of pillows and the hiss is still there...If I turn the mid-high down on both ends of the visual eq I can almost eliminate the hiss...but then the sound is weird....If I do manage to get a balance when i go to turn it up the hiss becomes audible again. I am plugging the usb straight into my computer. I just don't get what is up...the built in mic on my MBP is crisp and clear...and almost better quality than my 50 dollar adapter and several hundred dollar mic. Is there a way to eq the hiss away...because right now I feel like all I'm doing is making it quiet enough I cant hear it so messing with the gain or the visual eq wont do much because I'm just fixing the problem for the one sound level...if I want it louder than I'm out of luck. This is a radio style mic...so it might just have too high mids and highs but i'm not sure....i'm new to recording so please explain your answers and don't just techie babble. What I wan't is clear sound with silence when I'm not speaking, this is for narrations in a play, and I want them to not have the "old phonograph" feel, of a needle scratching across the surface of vinyl. If I was doing a retro show it might be ok...but I just want crisp clear sound......stupid not having thousands to buy a good studio. LOL.

You HAVE to use a Mic that is powered! Just plugging a Mic into the Powerbook and switching the input to Line-in doesn't cause it to work.
I believe Griffin Techologies makes an adapter that will work and there are some other one out there. Google powered mics and see what comes up.

What does my Mac need to run Access 2003 and SAM training CD

I'm enrolled in an intro database class using Microsoft Office Access 2003 and SAM 2003 Assessment and Training CD. Both require a PC, but I have Mac Book Pro 2. Would someone please explain to a PC dummy what my Mac would need to run these two applications or if I need to (gulp) purchase a PC. Mostly likely I'll be taking additional classes in the future. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Forums.
You will need the following to Run MS Access and SAM 2003:
1. An Intel Mac (You already have this)
2. Leopard Operating System (You have Tiger), which contains boot camp to install Windows
3. Windows XP or Windows Vista installation Disk (Please read the Boot Camp instructions/Guide)
4. Microsoft Office 2003 or 2007 for Windows (which has MS Access)

Why does Firefox need to control my mic and my camera?

To install Firefox on my phone I must first accept these permissions.
Hardware Control:
Record audio:- Allow application to access the audio record path.
Take pictures and video. Allow application to take pictures and video with the camera. This allows the application AT ANY TIME TO COLLECT IMAGES THE CAMERA IS SEEING.
I have stopped using Facebook Apps and many Google products because they what this sort of contol and basically I don't trust them.
Why do so many apps need such spying power? and where can I download an old version of Firefox.android that pre dates this control freaky version? After all it used to work just fine without.
Thanks
Jonpon

making permissions optional and controllable for the users is something that would have to be implemented on the OS level. if you have a device with android 4.3 or above it might already work through this hack: www.androidpolice.com/2013/07/25/app-ops-android-4-3s-hidden-app-permission-manager-control-permissions-for-individual-apps/

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.

What cables do I need to record a tape cassette onto my hard drive?

I want to record vinyl records and tape cassettes to my mac. I know I can use the quicktime player,
but what type of cables do I need to hook up to the in line on my mac?

Tape cassettes - easiest way is tape machine headphone jack to Mac Line in socket with a standard mini phono plug (3.5mm)
Vinyl records - depends on the player. Most ordinary record players will need a pre-amp to use with the line-in socket. Cables required will be dictated by the particular equipment.
You can get USB record decks built for the purpose.
QuickTime will do the job, but I use Audacity for more versatility with editing, noise reduction etc.
(It's free)

Once and for all: What's the best way of recording vocals...

hiya there,
i'm listening to some of my own recordings and it keeps annoying me that i just can't get the vocals to be powerful.... And it's not my singing voice!
I've put vocals by other professional singers over my instrumental tracks and it all sounds sharp and 'into it', whereas my vocals 9dubbed or not) keep sounding shallow and bleak. i use a good microphone, but that's it. How can i improve it all?
Hope anyone can point me in the right direction...

Yes, i suggest you to use a MIDI-Keyboard, even a small one (like my M-AUDIO KeyRig25) is good and fun to use. It's also better to use some specific Audio Plug-Ins which you can use in GB. There are many freewares around.
