chiara Novice Nov 8, 2007, 5:37 AM Post #1 of 12 (2448 views) Shortcut microphone G4 & osc Can't Post hello to everybody, i'm quite new with Isadora, i'm trying to understand the trial i've just downloaded. i've a problem with my G4 and the classic microphone (with jack in)... maybe to transmit audio from a microphone to isadora i must use a firewire microphone... don't know... Thanks in advance for the help, Chiara.

To do this... >> Go to Input on the menu bar. (see attached PDF 2) >> Start Sound only Input. Hopefully this should work. If not make sure the engine (Isadora) is running. Check this by going... >> Output menu in the menu bar (see attached PDF 3) >> Resume Engine. If that still does not work check you're system preferences input and output set-up. Hope this helps.

I would capture the sound from a microphone and then to process it in real time as images... difficoult ! ' thanks for your patience, Chiara. www.ideasonair.net

Thats going to be really hard to do. Especially in 'real-time'. I cant think of any way to do that to be honest sorry. Any one else got ideas? An instant without duration.... www.grahamthorne.co.uk

Is also possible to capture from the radio of itunes ( for example ) and process the audio as images ? If yes, could you tell me how.. ? Thanks, best, Chiara

Butr trying to use the sound and convert it into pictures is hard. Maybe by using the 'Tap tempo' actor or something- you could pulse images to the audio but not create images 100% from just the music/audio. You can add effects to pre-loaded images but otherwise you might be beter looking at Max/MSP perhaps? As for iTunes, maybe try this... Jack OS X? http://www.softlow.com/.../free/jack-os-x.html Its hard to re-route audio from inside the mac to be honest.

For process the video i use video in watcher and the projector. If i want i can add some effects like colorize, zoomer etc... but don't know how can i do for capturing only the audio and be able to listen it and then manipulate it. I've found the audio source from imput DV camera ( i would use the camera for capturing just the audio ) but i try to use soundlevelwatcher act.and sound player act but don't work... no sound palyng. Thanks for your kind help. Chiara.

I have the core version with more audio features but not very stable and without documentation. For the moment I use Max/MSP or Live in background, routing audio with soundflower (free but only on MacOs). Concerning audio entry and recording, Isadora is not very precise and I prefere also use a real audio app. And DV is not the best because you have some delay between audio and video, better to use a real sound card and a real record/effect app. All the best, Jacques

This is my first attempt at a full stand alone Cocoa application, it was created entirely in Quartz Composer and Interface Builder, there is no actual objective-c coding. This is designed primarily as a live performance tool. It could be used for motion graphics design but at the moment the easiest way of recording the output is to output to tv out on a second display record to DV tape then recapture the output.
