What's a good voice recording app I can use on my laptop and interface with iTunes?

Does anyone have a great recommendation for making home-made voice recordings that I can post on social media using iTunes?  Is there a particular app/recorder that makes it sound more professional than a home-made job?
Thanks.

You can't plug a microphone directly into a Mac: you have to go through a mixer or a preamplifier to bring the voltage level up to the Mac's input level. Of course this doesn't apply to USB microphones, which can be plugged into a USB socket and will usually work straight off. The Mac's own microphone may be reasonable sounding - you can try and see what it sounds like - but obviously you musn't touch the Mac while recording and you will get better results with a decent external mic. (USB would probably be best, but they're not cheap.)

  • What is a good video editing software I can use on my MacBook Pro?

    What is a good video editing software I can use on my MacBook Pro?
    *also, It would be great if I could edit multi-channel audio on the software
    Any suggestions?

    probably THE best software is Avid Media Composer. It's an industry standard for Feature Films, Television programs and commercials.
    Professional editors and producers around the world have told them what the software needs to succeed.
    -More efficient and easy-to-use video editing tools. An open platform that enables you to work with everything you want and integrate into any workflow. More power to eliminate bottlenecks, so you can work faster than ever.
    -Create 5.1 and 7.1 surround mixes directly within Media Composer, or import from Pro Tools (watch the video)
    I own this NLE and it truly is the best out of all of the editing programs I've used.
    ** It's quite expensive though. But worth it if you want the best!
    ~$2,499.00
    Another option would be Final Cut Pro. The little brother of Avid MC. I have Final Cut Pro X and I am very disappointed with it. It’s not an update of the existing Final Cut, which is one of the most popular programs; it’s completely new and radically redesigned. It looks different, its strengths are different — "and after one day of using it, many professional video editors are running through the streets with pitchforks."
    Final Cut Pro X Review - NY Times
    ** It's a good starting program if you just doing editing that isn't quite as demanding as feature films, TV programs and commercials. Many editors have been moving away from FCP after the release of the current version. However, It is a lot less expensive than Avid MC  
    ~$299.99
    Personally, having both Media Composer and Final Cut Pro X, I would go for Media Composer if it's in your budget. Definitely worth the price!

  • What is the best software programs that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format i.e.  Windows) ?

    Hi guys,
    I’m new to Mac and have a MacBook Pro Lion OS (10.6.8 I think !!!) with Parallels 7 (Windows 7) installed. Can someone please tell me what is the best software program that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format) from the Mac OS ? I heard of Paragon and Tuxera NTFS. Are they free ? Are they good ? Are there any other software programs out there ? I heard that some people have issues with Paragon.
    Thanks.

    Your best bet would be to take the drive to the oldest/compatible with that drive Windows PC and grab the files off, right click and format it exFAT (XP users can download exFAT from Microsoft) and then put the files back on.
    Mac's can read and write all Windows files formats except write to NTFS (and in some cases not read) so if you can change the format of the drive to exFAT (all data has to be remove first) then you will have a drive that doesn't require paid third party NTFS software (a license fee goes to Microsoft) for updates.
    Also it's one less hassle to deal with too.

  • 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

  • Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

    Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

    You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
    Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

  • What's a good karaoke program/app for the iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro. I need lyrics and tempo shown.

    What's a good karaoke program so I can practice at home ? I need the lyrics and tempo shown like a professional setup for the pc windows lline and the app should be similar throught IOS platforms and Mac.

    You'll need an adapter cable, and which one you need depends on what version MBP you have and the inputs on the monitor.
    I just recently purchased a Dell U2410 to use as a second display with my iMac. Overall I'm pretty happy with but my use is a little different, I wanted something with very good color accuracy for photo work.  Based on what you said your needs are, you probably don't have to spend as much. 
    One thing I will say, is this particular monitor (and I believe all Dells) has an antiglare screen on it, which to be honest, took me a little getting used to.  Because of the matte surface, text and documents aren't quite as sharp and can even look a little hazy at times.  For your uses  you may be better off with a glossy screen as long as glare isn't going to be too much an issue for you.
    BenQ makes some pretty nice and affordable monitors these days LED backlit or otherwise, and on that note, theres absolutely nothing at all wrong with non "LED" monitors, both technologies are still using an LCD panel for the display, they just deal with the backlighting differently.
    As the other poster mentioned, NEC is always a good option as well.  Less common on the consumer side, but they make very good professional products.

  • How do I back up the music and apps etc. I restored my computer and I reinstalled iTunes, I was told something about a terminal command line, what does that mean? Please help

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music
