• Make a windows computer act as a microphone
    13 replies, posted
As the Mac can do some pretty good things, but it can't do live auto-tuning. So I have my falling apart Dell Studio 1737 and my iMac Intel bluetoothed. The iMac sees it as a mobile with the ability to used as a sound device, a browse-able device, and a microphone. The PC on the other hand sees it as a computer that can used as a PAN Network and a file sharing device. The thing I want to do it make my Dell use my iMac as speaker so I can make the iMac use the PC as the microphone. This is how it works. My PC will be running a auto turning program that will auto-tune my voice and send the sound to the iMac where it uses it as a Mic. I was going to use a audio jack to connect them, but I lost it...
uhm imacs have microphones so i don't know why you're going through that length to autotune somethiing

Just get Reason or some other bullshit audio suite for like $500 and do it the hard way. Or, you're fucked.
[QUOTE=Jarrod;31368644]Yes, I know iMacs have microphones, but I am having trouble finding auto tuning programs for the mac[/QUOTE] so why do you want to hook up the windows microphone to the mac
[QUOTE=Cheesemonkeh;31368883]so why do you want to hook up the windows microphone to the mac[/QUOTE] He wants to do some unnecessary shit where he uses the laptop to autotune and goes out to the Mac just as an input.
Record the audio in garageband then use the 'pitch control' to autotune. There will be something like 'auto pitch' to the right of it, check that box.
Yes, I know iMacs have microphones, but I am having trouble finding auto tuning programs for the mac @protocol7 In that way, yes. But do you have to be a dick? @patdaman45 The problem is Garage Band doesn't take my voice and modify it to where I can talk live.
[QUOTE=Jarrod;31375498]@protocol7 In that way, yes. But do you have to be a dick? [/QUOTE] Yeah. You're wasting your time trying to get anything working on a Mac short of internet browsing, TF2 and looking at a shiny dock. As to why you want to autotune, I have no idea, and I don't care, but you're really wasting your time unless you get Reason or something else. Using the laptop as a microphone is too much effort than it's worth.
format your mac and install debian, it has live autotuning software :)
Quick and dirty: Get a 3.5 mm audio cable attach it from the speaker out on the laptop to the mic in on the mac. Go to the recording devices in the control panel find the mic being used properties and then listen tab and enable it. Then find someone who knows how to do live filtering and ask them how to properly do it.

Next question is, why do you want to autotune? I've probably heard two autotuned voices that don't sound like a mess of pitches and neither of them were live
