Here are the specs: iMac with 2 GHz PowerPC G5, 1 GB DDR SDRAM, OS 10.4.11 iMovie HD Sony HC5 camcorder All I want to do is make a copy of the original tape. The footage was recorded in HD. I am OK with importing it to iMovie in DV and exporting it back to a fresh tape in DV (the HD is not that important to me, at least for now). I tried to import the original footage into iMovie via DV, but iMovie did not import the entire 60 minute tape. When I tried to export the footage back to a new tape, the process (iMovie) stopped halfway through. Footage that was successfully exported to the new tape had video and audio sync problems. Can someone help me figure out how to properly set up my Sony HC5 and iMovie to make this work? Thanks for your help. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I know that the iMacs are a bit limited on buses (the 800 and 400 FW share the same bus). My problem is getting a compatible HD file format from the Canon XH-A1 into a Mac so that it can be recognised and edited. I am not using a PCMCIA bus card in my PowerBook at present and tend to use only one FW device at at time on my PowerBook.

I use a Griffin iMic that I got through ebay. It came without any software to use hence the use of Spin Doctor. It has done a great job. Allows you to define and name audio tracks. Adjusts to eliminate background hiss, clicks and pops as well as boosts the bass. You can name each track and export active tracks. Once exported they import easily into iTunes and can then easily be converted to mp3s. I have numerous vinyls now residing on my iPod. Long live Jim Croce, Blood Sweat and Tears, even a little Little Deuce Coupe by the Beach Boys. If you purchase or have access to Toast 6 (other's versions probably have it too) you should be able to get the Spin Doctor program. I used a 900 MHz G3 iBook running Mac OS 10.4 and a Audio Technica AT-PL50 turntable with a White/Red RCA to mini stereo plug cable hooked to the Griffin iMic microphone input. I believe I also have to have the preamp switch (under turntable, remove pad) turned on. I did have trouble trying to get it working using my MacBook and since I knew it was going to work on the old iBook I just set it up and used it since it was plenty efficient as it was. I don't know if you have an output other than the USB from your turntable because you will need to input into an iMic with a mini stereo plug (headphone type).

I went to Griffin's website and Final Vinyl as well as the manual for it are available for free download. When you start Final Vinyl up it says it requires a Griffin devise such as iMic, PowerWave, or radioShark to work. That shouldn't be a problem since I have an old iMic and I may just give it a go and see how it compares to CD Spin Doctor.

Hi Ed, So you feed the output from the turntable directly into the Microphone port on your computer? Is this as good as the Griffin iMic for fidelity? Wouldn't going from your amplifier into the iMic get you the bet results? Any comments appreciated.

George Define "inexpensive"! :^) I use a Presonus Firebox attached to a Phono Pre-Amp, with either a Dual or Rega turntable. For software I've been using Bias Peak LE 5.2. I tried Audacity briefly, I like the equalizer function, but found it to otherwise be far inferior to Bias Peak. Do yourself a favor and clean the LP's before you try to 'rip' them.

The Mic input needs "line level" input which is a greater signal than what a turntable puts out. So as long as there is a pre- amp, which is made to output a line level signal, that would work fine as an input to the Mic jack on the Mac. The iMic is only needed if the Mac does not have a Mic input. The iMic is simply a means of inputing audio to the Mac if the Mac does not have an audio in (Mic jack). So if you have a mic jack, using an iMic is unnecessary. Mike On Nov 25, 2007, at 9:53 PM, Thomas Bulat wrote: > > >> There is as microphone input on your computer and it is stereo.

Mike & Tom I tried a Griffen iMic I have but it must be an old one as it as 2 inputs icons of a mike and a speaker, no stereo. My turntable has a preamp and a red & a white RCA output and also a USB outlet cord. The red & white plugs have metal shieldlke things around the actual plug. Also, there is no input mike on my iMac. laptop . The Griffen software Final Vinyl is the latest version. I tried bringing in sound from turntable with one RCA input plug. Software seems to function but nothing comes over. When I open garage band it asks for a valid instrument folder. I looked in the instrument folder: Application support/garage band/ Instrument flder. It is empty. ??? I guess I have to go back and struggle with Audacity music software which came with the Turntable. > I have a Audio-Technica LP2D-USB turntable. Mac OS 10.4.1 Power PC > 800 MHz G4 original flat panel Mac. I guess I could buy the Toast update (I have version 5) or BiasPeak LE or some other software but first I need to get the sound signal into the computer and have to know if the app recognizes the USB input.. The Audacity app recognizes the USB input from the turntable. But I find Audacity cryptic in trying to use it. Anybody know if you have to save a blank space before trying to bring in the signal?

I'm going to ask what might be a very stupid question, have you tried hooking the turntable up to a Stereo Receiver and seeing what you get? Is there a switch on the turntable to switch between the internal phono pre-amp, and using an external one? >I guess I have to go back and struggle with Audacity music software >which came with the Turntable. Do any instructions on configuring Audacity for the audio inputs come with it? You have a tricky problem there.

How? I have no experience with the audio software in recent versions of Toast, I'm running V6 so am not much better off than you. :^) The only reason I'm running that new of a version is because I had to upgrade 4 years ago when I purchased this system. I'm quite honestly leery of the software with Toast, as I believe it is based on the software that comes with Easy-CD Creator. I highly recommend Bias Peak, I'm currently using the LE version as I had both Bias Peak 2.1 and Bias Peak Express 3.3, and was able to upgrade to LE from Express during a special deal dirt cheap. If you'll be doing a lot of editing and need to use multiple plug-ins at once, the full version is worth the money, as you can only load one plug-in at a time in the LE version. The question is, will you be able to interface it via the USB connection? Is there something that allows the USB connection to be made available via Core Audio? Zane -- | Zane H.

If you need a cable, you can probably get one at Guitar Center if there is one near you. Rat Shack (aka Radio Shack) might have them as well, as might any stereo store. These at least used to be somewhat common. Zane -- | Zane H.

Two things that have been mentioned in earlier posts on this thread were correct (more or less). For a turntable cartridge, you typically need a special phono pre-amp which both amplifies the signal and does a de-emphasis RIAA equalization (someone posted a very good link to Wikipedia on this). That being said, your particular turntable has a built-in pre-amp which takes care of both of these issues. Furthermore, it has a built-in analog-to-digital converter, which is what comes down the USB cable. My guess would be that the quality of the converter built into the turntable is of higher quality than the Mac's built-in analalog-to-digital converter, but you might want to do a comparison test to confirm this - ya never know. I was just about to give you a list of steps to go through, when I decided to do a Google on your setup and found the software manual online. The detailed instructions for audio setup (Mac) start on page 15. I'm reading from your most current post (below) that you've got Audacity to recognize the USB input, but you might want to double check the settings in your Mac's "Audio MIDI Setup". I just downloaded Audacity and tried it out ... I see what you mean ... Sort of arcane dialog boxes, and the thing crashed on me while trying to figure out how to save!! It sounds like you have GarageBand already installed. If you can get past having it find the instrument folder (these are not really needed if you just want to record into GarageBand), then under the Track menu select new track and create a "Real Instrument" track. On the bottom right hand corner of the Track Info panel you'll see the input settings. Check to see if your USB Audio driver shows up there. If not, quit GarageBand (and any other open apps), go to your System/Sound preferences and see if you can get your USB Audio driver to be recognized there, then open up GarageBand and repeat above steps. If it's recognized there, you shouldn't have a problem using any Mac software with the USB turntable output. If not, then: Worse case scenario, you could get a cable/adaptors from Radio Shack or the equivalent. You'll need a stereo 1/8" phone plug ---> 2 split female RCA jacks, or you could use a stereo 1/8" phone plug ---> 2 split male RCA plugs and a couple of female-female RCA coupler adaptors if the other one is hard to find. Then plug your turntable analog outputs directly into the line input on your computer and use the "Built-in" inputs in your Sound Preferences panel. This would also work with any Mac audio apps. >From what I've heard, Bias Peak has probably got the most elaborate tools for cleaning up vinyl recordings, at least at the consumer price level. Sounds like CD Spin Doctor (comes with Toast) also has some vinyl clean up tools. I guess it depends on how detailed you want to go with it. Keep us posted on your progress!

Maybe someone can make sense of it. Meanwhile I will ck on what Greg recommends in GarageBand (see below): The original disk that came with my G4 laptop had GBand. I transfered it to my desktop G4 by firewire where it asked for the valid instrument library. I just went back to the laptop and GBand seemed to come up just fine. (Maybe Apple has some way of preventing GB to work when it it transferred to another computer.) Anyhow, I attached the turntable via the USB cable. GB asked if I wanted to use USB Audio CODEC and I said yes, so it must have recognized the turntable connection. The Garage Band seems to record when I push the red button. The the pointer line moves across the screen, but I don't see any wave pattern. I hear nothing, tho I went into the utilities folder Audio Midi Setup and put in USB Audio CODEC for the default input. I went to GB Prefs and put in the AudioMidi/icon USB Audio CODEC for both A input and output. I tried playback. Nothing. Any ideas?

The only thing I can think of is that the analog signal inside your turntable isn't getting through to the the USB port (hence no waveform even though GB recognizes the USB connection). BTW, the monitor output should be set to built-in audio, NOT USB audio codec. There's no point in sending the audio signal back into the turntable, unless is has a built-in speaker of course.
