    Post an audio demo of your sound system

    The purpose of this topic is not to make a completely exact recording of your speakers. The more exact the better, but it is not a prerequisite that the recording is very precise. Nor is it meant to be a discussion about the usefulness of audio recordings. In my experience, even mediocre...

    GarageBand: Audio from Mics fades out and in - but NOT in Logic Pro, Voice Memos, etc.

    Symptom: When using GarageBand since early September, talking or singing into the mic (whether built-in or an external XLR > PreSonus Studio 68c audio interface > MacBook Pro), the audio faces out and back in on a track, almost as if there was a sort of "random noise gate" plug-in applied. (It...

    Finder audio file preview: Want to choose the moment, where I like to start listening

    The Mac finder is very user friendly. But what I miss is that I can click on a point in an audio file to start listening there. What I mean; See the 3rd image on the right in the image below. Is that possible with a third party app? Of course I can open the audio file in a music player, but...

    Audio Issues with VLC and Netflix (Safari) on MBP 16

    Hi everyone, I have a MacBook Pro 16" with the M3 Max processor, and I've noticed a strange issue with the audio. Some movies I watch using VLC are very quiet, even though I’ve set the mode to stereo. I’m also experiencing a similar issue with Netflix when using Safari, where the sound is much...

    MP All Models Seeking use case scenarios for the M2 Mac Pro

    Hey there Forumers, I can’t get over the feeling that there must be some target market out there that is absolutely fine with Apple’s decisions on the M2 Mac Pro. While I still hold my breath (running out of air!) for a setup that allows for more RAM of the traditional variety along with...

    For participating in Zoom meetings, I use a USB microphone (Blue Yeti). When I plug my headphone jack into the mic, I can hear the meeting audio and my microphone output in my headphones.

    iPhone PDF Reader - One the reads the PDF out loud

    Hello, Can anyone recommend a PDF reader, that will read an entire multi-page document out loud? One that doesn't need to be promoted by highlighting text or to go to the next page? One that reads the document until it either finishes said document or I manually tell it to stop? Or if there...

    Sound in audio apps runs too slowly over time

    Hi all, in apps with such as Safari, but also the Music app in macOS 14.4.1, the sound plays too slowly after a while. You can also see this because, the sound in YouTube videos plays slower than the video. At first I thought this was due to YouTube, or to the cache or Cockies in general. But...

    Monitor for a dining area wall

    My elderly parents have an old, Intel 13-inch MacBook Pro, which I'm hoping we can get replaced with an Apple Silicon laptop some time in 2024. They no longer have cable or satellite TV. They frequently turn to YouTube for news, information (how-to) and entertainment. The laptop's speakers...

    Question about hooking up multiple mics to a MacBook

    This is a somewhat different sort of question than the usual.... My car is making a noise. I can't quite track down where it's coming from, and passengers disagree about where it sounds like it's originating from--even whether it's in the front or the back. So I thought I could hook up at...

    iPad Pro Playing video through a VGA projector :/

    I own a projector that is VGA only. I’d to connect my iPad Pro 6th Gen to it and play movies through it. Simple enough via an adapter I think. BUT I’d like the audio to be played through my bluetooth speakers. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.
