Recording Samples, Recording Samples into Powerbook Options

[bagolrhodes]

Hi All,

I've just brought a G4 powerbook and Logic Audio Gold exs edition. I need to be able to record samples from cds and albums. What software is best for doing this.

I can't see anywhere on the powerbook that allows you to record anything either on cd drive or from an external line.

I'm going to try and use the Imic as a 'cheap' line in option for the moment, but need to be able to record what I'm pulling into the computer.

Many thanks,

Slante,

Craig

You need a Firewire or USB audio interface to get sound in.

You can extract and convert CD tracks with QuickTime or iTunes.

Applications like Peak, Spark, and ReCycle are better tools, and they also support hardware samplers.

Hey,

Thanks for your reply, what if I have a mini disk player and I want to record that, I have the Imic to get a line in, would ReCycle do this as well?

Many Thanks,

Craig

No, if you want to record a sound file from MD you need an audiointerface... I don't know how you are going to use your mac for making music, but sooner or later you're going to need one..
There are several interfaces on the market these days, search one that fits with your way of making and recording music. You probably don't have to buy the most new, expesive one...

Good Luck!
