What programme is best to record audio (via imic)

I'm a DJ and want to record 60-70 minutes of music from 2 turntables, into mixer, out of mixer into ibook via imic. Garage band will only record 30 minutes - there MUST be a SIMPLE, easy to use programme that I can not only record through, but then do basic editing when it's in.... HELP! I'm going mad!

Hi dj Miss Adventure. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I have no idea what dj-ing apps do more than say Sound Studio like RalphM suggests. So I googled. Disco, TRAKTOR DJ Studio 3, MegaSeg , etc.
Just google for dj software Mac OS X and you can pick it up from there. Most apps seem to have downloadable demos so you can see what you like best and compare the apps and make your choice.
Good luck.

What's the best solution for audio out of sound files from a MacBook Air to both an amplifier and to a subwoofer amplifier? I'm using the MBA to play sound files for worship services at our church.

I have a MacBook Air (13", 1.7GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD) that I'll be using to play sound files (primarily organ and piano) for worship services at my church. We'll be using a QSC RMX2450 650 Watts/Channel amplifier with Community CPL-27 speakers and also a JBL SUB 250P powered subwoofer with its own amplifier. What's the best option for getting sound out from the Mac to both of these amplifiers?

if you work with own recorded sounds you might wanna have a music program where you want to work with samples, steinberg has got very good ones (so they say)... but their really really ( ²) expensive(that's why almost no one haves them), magix haves good ones too bu their more for 'unprofessional' use, ableton haves really good ones too and they're not to difficult to use (if you know a bit of those programs you learn very quickly) and if you don't get them, there is a sort of manual built in it which explains and lets you do things to start (basics)
i hope this helped, btw stereo speakers are always better if you buy good ones (no pc speakers), but if you don't think you need them, don't buy them...
so again, i hope you have some ideas now

What application to use for recording audio to Tiger

I need to record audio of a 4 day conference. Can somebody recommend the best applications for this? I will plug my Mac into a mixer to get the audio and then I need to create CDs/DVDs of each session. I was thinking maybe Garage Band or Quicktime (Pro?)
Thanks.

I think you would have stereo Left/Right RCA plugs on the mixer board output, so you would need a cable like this to go into the line-in stereo mini jack on the PB.
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3452165&clickid=prod_cs
If you don't have a mini-jack input, then you may need an external USB input device like the Griffin iMic. (there were some Mac models that did not have the line-in jack, I don't recall which ones.)

Can No Longer Record Audio With iMic

I've been using the Camera Connection Kit with the iMic to record audio from my studio via 'Line In' for months with no issue. A few weeks ago, my iPad stopped recording using iMic. It only records with the internal mic now, so the sound is garbage. The software company says it isn't their software that's the problem. Did Apple have an update (prior to latest release) that rendered iMic useless?
Without the ability to record audio in this fashion, the iPad is a useless paperweight for me.
Any help is appreciated.

Users have reported that some accessories that worked with the CCK before the update to iOS 4.2.1 now no longer work. This article, updated after the iOS update give a clue that the update changed what worked.

Recording Audio via Input Problem

Hi - I'm a sports broadcaster who records games through Audition CS5.5. I record games through a separate soundboard and then record the audio into Audition via the mic input on my laptop.
Recently, I've been having this problem: at some point in my recording, the recording stops on it's own. It doesn't actually freeze and stop (as it usually would when you press stop), but rather the running time of the recording stops moving forward. Then, when I press the stop button, Adobe has been crashing. Thus, I lose the entire recording without saving.
Anyone have a clue to what the problem/solution could be? I had a similar problem a few years ago and that ended up being a disk space issue. Is it something in that realm? Thanks

Yeah, it could easily be down to disk space, either the overall disk capacity or the the specified size of your Temp folder. However, it's impossible to say this for sure without some more info about how much capacity you have left, details of your temp folder etc.
Do you record in Multitrack view or Waveform? I'd suggest Multitrack (even if you only use 1 track) because that goes straight to disk rather than to a Temp file you have to save later and can also cope with larger files than Waveform, at least in some operating system.

What is the best vocal recording software for mac?

I am looking for software or iOS app that allows import from iTunes or other database of songs, allows pitch adjustment, and recording from a mic. It's for my father who is not tech illiterate but not savvy either. I have done a bunch of searches and am not seeing exactly what I'm looking for, hoping it exists! Thanks for your help.

What is the best headset for audio capture for Captivate 3?

Hello All,
I have seen a few posts now that talk about issues with
headsets. There has to be people out there that have had success. I
am curious because I need to purchase a new set. Please share your
headset hardware successes per operating system (XP/Vista). List
the manufacturer and model #, and feel free to expand on sound
quality, pros/cons and other information of the set.
Thank you,
Tim
Mods if this is a repeat or if it doesn't belong here, please
let me know...

Hi Tim
On a "behind the scenes" list, I saw the following
discussion. Perhaps bits of it will help here. (Names removed and
basic snippets related to microphones were captured)
One person suggested a device called the Rode Podcaster.
Link
is here
Another person offered these suggestions:
...I use a Logitech USB microphone. It’s plug and play
easy. I think the one I use is a Clearchat pro. I have been going
through one about every 6-8 months. Avoid any wireless or Bluetooth
mics at all cost as their quality reaches new levels of suckage.
Link
is here
And another poster had this to say:
Regarding headsets, it’s nice to buy models that have
the USB dongle as an option, so you still can use it "analog" and
plug into mic jack too. My logitec has this.
And yet another said this:
I originally got a Logitech ClearChat Comfort, but it started
shorting out after a few podcasts. I now use a Microsoft LifeChat
LX-3000. I have to say that, despite it being a "Microsoft"
product, the quality, audio and otherwise is superior to the
Logitech.
I recently was gifted a Blue Snowball with the shock mount
and a pop filter. I will be using that for roundtables...
LifeChat

Blue
Snowball link is here
Then the conversation went this way:
I have to second the Logitech corded headsets. They’re
not rugged enough to take heavy abuse and are far from studio
quality. But they’re inexpensive and for routine conferencing
(such as with Skype) and recording, their older 350 and new
ClearChat Pro USB models seem to be fine for me.
The adjustable boom mike works quite well for voice
recording, and the comfortable headset is fine for long periods of
music listening over my Mac with surprisingly high-quality sound.
And it’s literally plug ’n’ play without any
special software.
An advantage to a close boom mike is no feedback. And at
least with the ClearChat Pro, noise cancellation is built in. And
there is a mute button.
And I agree -- buy a corded USB model.
Someone else chimed in with:
I really like the plantronics headsets (Logitech too) - I
avoid wireless - but both are inexpensive and the plantronics can
really take a beating and they last a long time.
Link
is here
And someone seconded that with:
This was my experience, too -- I have the Plantronics DSP500
(older model). I’ve used it for over 3 years to do audio
podcasts and lynda.com videos (I did a whole title from home, and
the lynda.com folks said the audio was almost as good as being in a
soundbooth on location).
Then was said:
+1 on the Logitech corded USB headsets. I’ve used a
Logitech 350 for all...
Personally, I use a Microsoft LifeChat headset mic and I like
the quality it delivers too.
So there you have it. Hopefully you will find some useful
nuggets there!
Sincerely... Rick

What is the status of recording audio from user's microphone?

I am very interested in the capability of browsers to be able to record data from a user's microphone. Currently the only options are Flash based plugin such as WAMI, or Microsoft Silverlight as far as I can tell. What is the plan for Firefox (and other browsers if the information is known) to implement a method of capturing input from a user's microphone, or where can I find information about it? I am aware of Web RTC, but that is a separate issue. I am interested in recording a user, and then sending that data to my server, not in P2P communication. Thank you!

What is the best music recording software?

I have been using Wiretap Studio to record my Sibelius compositions for years. It stopped working the other day. I wrote the developers, who said it's no longer compatlble, and they have no plans to upgrade. So, I'm looking for a good music recording program that doesn't cost a fortune. "Lossless" is good (no reduction in quality). An equalizer would be nice, too. Got to have it by next week, because I sing to my own stuff and got some programs coming up, I have tried Garageband, and find it hard to understand. Probably my fault, not GB's. Need something simple, preferably with an interface like a hand-held recorder. Don't need lots of bells & whistles. Using MacBook Pro, OS X 10.10.2. Thanks.

What is the best Audio Codec

Hi All
After all the problems with windows users and video codecs, What is the best codec for Audio Files to put on my website, so that everyone can play them.
I have Quicktime Pro, iTunes, Garageband, and Final Cut Studio.
Mike Hooley

iWeb uses the QuickTime plug-in for playback. It supports dozens of formats but still requires that QuickTime be installed.
So. Even if you used a very universal file format like .mp3 the iWeb generated page code will use QuickTime to play back the file.
When you insert non standard (.mov, .mp4. .m4a or .m4v would be standard) iWeb creates page code that uses the qtsrc="" tag that forces the file to be played using the QT plug-in. Non standard extensions would be .mp3, .mpg, .mpeg, .avi and some .swf files plus dozens of image formats.
If your page visitors don't have QuickTime installed they should be re-directed to the download page.

Issues recording audio during a screen capture demo

I'm working on a computer with a Windows 7 OS and Captivate 5. I have "stereo mix" enabled as default recording device.(Realtek high definition audio).My task at hand involves demonstrating a video captioning tool, so I need to be recording the video's audio as I step through the process of creating the captions in a web based environment. I must admit that what I am trying to accomplish works easily with other screen capture tools (even free tools) but I would really like to be able use Captivate 5 for this project and others upcoming that require the same functionality. As a last resort, I've also tried adjusting the audio settings within the project (selecting the "narration" option as shown) but I'm not having any luck getting the results I need. I'm really hoping that it's something simple I'm just missing, and that forum experts can nudge me in the right direction... Thanks very much for your input.

OK, I understand now.
But with Captivate, the bad news is that just playing a video file on the screen, and capturing what you see with Captivate will not result in the audio from the video file being captured at the same time.
Captivate records audio via the microphone channel in your computer. What you can do as a possible workaround is turn on your PC audio and place a USB microphone near your speaker to pick up the audio from the video.
Another trick I have sometimes used is to purchase a cable with two male 1/4 inch jacks on each end, then plug one end into the microphone port and the other end into the headphones port on your computer. Be careful to turn the sound down low on your volume control and do some tests to find the appropriate setting where it will record the sound at a good audible volume.
Hope this helps.

Recording audio with JavaFX

Hi All,
I was looking for advice on how best to record audio with JavaFX, as JMF is seriously out of date.
Can anybody tell me how to get started here?
Cheers,
Chester

I think you'll have to do it via Java Sound API, because JavaFX itself doesn't have capability of recording audio. Maybe in version 1.3, but I have no access to it.

QT Screen Recording audio app + narration

I'm trying to create a QT Screen Recording where the app in question is an audio app - the only audio recorded is the microphone. One solution is to use Soundflower. Soundflower itself is simple.. after installing, use Garageband's audio preferences to output to Soundflower, and set QT's Screen Recording audio input to Soundflower. This sends all the GB audio directly to QT.
However, that excludes the Mac's own microphone and anything I might wish to say - and record.
An Audio Midi Setup "aggregate device" allegedly allows multiple sound sources to be mixed together. I created one using the Mac's microphone and the Soundflower audio source (i.e. Garageband output).
A block diagram would be:
Garageband audio out>Soundflower
Aggregate device: Mac Mic + Soundflower (Garageband output)
Aggregate device is set as the QT audio input device - except it doesn't show up in the Record tool!!
And what should the System Audio Output be set to during QT recording?
Soundflower offers another piece supposedly offering audio mixing called SoundflowerBED. It's running up in my Menu bar, but the choices it offers are cryptic.
Any wisdom on this???
thanks - Karl out West

Can I record audio when screen recording?
Depends on which app you are using and what form of audio you want to record. E.g., QT X can record audio via the line in or built-in microphone option but not the system audio. On the other hand, an application like Snapz Pro X can record microphone and/or the Mac system audio.
Are there settings for the quality of recording, etc?
QT X has two quality presets from which to choose. Third-party screen capture apps may have other options. E.g., Snapz Pro X allows the user to select any of audio and/or video compression options for which the system is configured for final output.

Recording audio and microphones

hi is there anybody out there that can tell me the best way to record audio via a microphone into logic through the internal sound card of the mac book pro and also recommend any good microphones for using to record vocals,thanks

If you don't have an external audio interface, logic will default to the internal audio of your mac. All you need to do is plug a mic with the appropriate adapter for 1/8" input jack on the mac, select that input on the channel strip you are recording to, and record. There is also a mic built in to your macbook. It should work. This being said, the internal audio is pretty bad so if you want to record I would suggest an audio interface.
