Addi Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 So I have a quick question. Has anyone used a Macbook pro (13inch) to record their mix? Because as you may know, it only has one slot for the input and output... Just curious if anyone encountered any problems while doing this.

You'll get better quality audio if you use a cheap external USB soundcard such as this:http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCA202.aspxYou can pick one up for $60 posted here:http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Behringer-UCA202 ... _574wt_907 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addi Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I tried using the cable in the first post, connected it to my mixer, then into the only slot on the macbook, followed the steps in audacity, but no luck at all. It wont record any sound.Might have to invest in one of those usb soundcards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 is there any other way besides audacityit makes the kicks sound really weird and makes it sound out of timewhen im actually djing and listening to it through the headphones its in timethen the recorded version stuffs ups the kicks and it sounds all out of time :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyB Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 thats because its out of time....that happens alot, you might have shitty headphones or have your headphones blasting so you can tell your kicks are a little bit out.what audacity records is EXACTLY what comes out of the mixer....ive done it a few times recording a mix, thought it was sweet, then re-listned to it and a few mixers wer a bit out.mind you i was using shot headphones with only 1 ear working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulsebeat Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 jonnythis is the main reason i havnt uploaded any mixes yetall my mixes are JUST off and sounds shiti only use one ear, always havebut still sounds shit(maybe cause im using shitty comp speakers and 2 big speakers on the floor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 your probs rightbut its rally weird coz u listen to it through the main speakers while your mixing and it sounds fineeven at parties when im blasting 15inch speakers it all sounds in time :Swas a shock for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 That'd why it's good to always record, you learn things you don't notice at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydc Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I've had things that I didn't think worked, but by the time i'd re-listened to the mix, it had worked just fine.but yeah, notice way more negative things about my mixes when relistening to a mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 your probs rightbut its rally weird coz u listen to it through the main speakers while your mixing and it sounds fineeven at parties when im blasting 15inch speakers it all sounds in time :Swas a shock for meit will also be because at a party your speakers are facing the crowd/D-Floor and usually not you, so you probly feel the bass more then directly hear it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 yer probaly coz ive actually never had a complaint about being off time evti even won a dj comp and that couldnt of been out of time :Sso when i listen thr ough the headphones and it sounds all in time but the recording is outdoes that mean shit headphones??

JonnyB Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 no. you can play a mix in a club and it will sounds fine, because it is so loud and alot of low end...play that exact same mix through your computer speakers and youll notice the fuck ups. because the mid and high end dosent have to compete with all the low end sub bass. so if your kicks are the tinest bit out youll notice through the computer speakers, but through a big system it will seem like your doing a flawless mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
