I am having trouble with the sound of CDs recorded in iTunes. They sound kind of like they're in a tunnel. What are the best settings to have iTunes on when recording and also importing songs. Some songs have been purchased through iTunes while others were directly imported from CDs that I currently have. I just don't seem to be able to find a great way to record these.
View 6 RepliesMy friend recorded a lecture using a microphone attached to his old-model iPod nano. I told him it would be easy to transfer to his computer, a Macbook Air. It was; he attached via USB cable, iTunes detected new voice memos, he said yes please copy the voice memos, and they were copied. Yes! He can now listen to the lecture on his MB Air. But... Now he wants me to listen to the lecture as I drive around with my iPhone 4. I thought this would be easy: attach my iPhone to his Air, open iTunes, and tell iTunes to put the lecture on my iPhone. But... It won't copy! When I try to drag the lecture from the main list in iTunes onto my iPhone in the source list, it always snaps back. There is no error message; it just "won't go". There are no copyright issues; it's a recording he made himself from a college lecture.Â
I thought maybe the issue was that the file was in WAV format. (I don't know if this is always the case, or if that was the format used natively for Voice Memos on his old-model iPod Nano.) I told iTunes to create an AAC version, which it promptly did. But that, too, will not drag-and-drop onto my iPhone. There are zillions of programs to copy from an iPhone or iPod onto a Mac, but how do I go the other way?

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1
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.Â

Would this be iMovie is there another app that is suited for this. I'm on iMovie right now but I don't even know how to hit record.
I am learning a new song on the piano and it is played, at the lowest, 3 octaves down from middle C. The problem is my keyboard only has 64 keys and only reaches to the second octave down.
I am using a MIDI connection and I want to be able to have GarageBand transpose the keyboard while I am playing. So, say I play the song up on middle C but it would sound like it was down 3 octaves.
I can't find a way to do this while recording. You can transpose after you record, that is not a problem, but it would nice to hear it the right way while I play it. Any suggestions?
I have searched all through GarageBand can't find a way. Might be another suggestion I send to apple as feedback soon.
I'm trying to remix a song, and when I record myself sing, there's a buzzing noise. Very steady buzz, that keeps going and never stops.

I have a couple questions regarding GarageBand 08 and recording with it.
1) Is it possible to connect a vocal mic to GarageBand, put an effect on that, and have a live output of the signal coming from the mic with the effect on it without having to record the audio first?
2) I have a Yamaha keyboard that has a MIDI and 1/4" jack output on. I am interested in connecting the keyboard to my Mac for use in recording. Would it be possible to run the audio signal from the 1/4" jack to the 1/8" jack on my Mac and record the audio in GarageBand and be able to apply effects to that track (i.e. synthesizers)?
I'm using Safari 3.2.2 and it will not record any history. I have tried to fix it every possible way I could think off:
1. Checking if Private Browsing is on. [It wasn't]
2. Resetting Safari. [Still won't record]
3. Uninstalling and Reinstalling [No effect]
Is it possibly because of a missing file?

Along with the necessary drum mics, and I was wondering if there was a way to use all this to record in GarageBand?
He's pretty stubborn, so all I know is that it didnt work the first time because according to him "it doesnt record in stereo well"
Any solutions?
I've been trying to record my guitar using a regular 1/4" instrument cable and a 1/4" to 1/8" adaptor into the line-in of my Blackbook. I go to System Preferences so the app uses the line-in and not the build-in mic. Under "details", it is set to record in stereo. It records fine and sounds good, but when I put on my headphones, the tracks I recorded only come out of one ear. The software tracks are fine (as are the tracks I've recorded via the built-in mic and a USB mic). Well, this really puts a hamper on the song. Is it just because regular Macbooks don't come with a very good sound card?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I bought a Sony Bloggie camera, and sprang for the extra $20 for the 360 video recording attachment. So sony touts on their website how great this camera and their software plays with Mac and PC, the truth is only the mobile dumbed down version of their software works on a Mac. The full version is PC only. unfortunately the full version is needed in order to convert and watch videos shot with the 360 attachment.
Fine no problem thats why man invented VMWARE. So I install the software on my windows XP virtual machine with XP sp3. The software converts the video but whenever I try to watch it the thing crashes and I get that report error to microsoft message. So my question is, are there any alternatives I can use preferably on Mac which will play the 360 video? I know a lot of websites have 360 virtual tour videos embedded.
i have written a pretty cool song..and a friend of mine has a mic, which i can plug into my macbook. My question is , whats the bets software for recording it. and also editing it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I just recently converted to all Mac. With that being said, I purchased a couple seasons of Mad Men via iTunes.
Now with music, I know you can burn the album to a cd and then import from cd to have a non-drm album. Not knowing, I've come to realize that you can't do this with videos.
I've read that you can backup your iTunes library on DVD, but I really don't want to do this all the time. I have my iTunes library on my ext hdd with a TM partition, but I don't want to rely on it (also my media is going to eventually outgrow that TM partition).
So, with that being said, I'm looking for a program that will re-record (or as others put it DRM stripping) the original untouched purchased video and give me a DRM free copy for backup.
Or, if there are any programs out there or methods of completely backing up iTune's purchased video, then I'm open ears.
Is there any software out there that's cheap (or free) for Mac that allows you to record a video/audio session of your desktop? I'm talking about software similar to what Adobe Captivate and Camtasia do.

I want it to only record an application, say Skype or Firefox. But, yet it uses the mic on my MB and I can hear myself talking as well as my keyboard.
I've been trying to audio record my piano playing with my unibody Macbook using Quicktime Pro 7. The recording is absolutely terrible--there is so much buzz, as if the microphone is being held right next to the back of the piano. In truth, I set my laptop about ten metres from the piano. The buzzing continues. It's as if the equalizer settings are set to max.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
In Garageband, when I record acoustic guitar, the first 5 seconds are recorded at a good volume, but then Garageband automatically reduces the recording volume, making for a very inconsistent beginning.
I am using the default acoustic guitar track, with automatic level control turned OFF. This is on the newest MBP, with what i believe is the latest Garageband.
I want to record video and audio of what I am doing on my Screen Via IMAC. Can anyone recommend a good Application to achieve just that. Would prefer freeware but if it needs to be a paid application so be it.

I'm planning on adding how to videos to my site (flash) so that its easier for my customer to understand how to use a page. Ie instead of trying to explain common things in a FAQ I would have a video actually showing them. Ideally I'll be able to record my actions on screen and my voice as I describe what I'm doing. I'm willing to pay for the app, but just not that much ie less than $100. Now I don't need an all in one, for instance if there is a free app to do screen recording and another free app that can record my voice and another to merge them together I'm fine with that. I understand that free is free and I have to deal with some of the headaches. Any advice as to what software I would need. A quick google for mac screen recording brings a bunch of results.
