KikkyMonk Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Is there an easy way to record the output of the soundcard without leaving the computer? That is can you simply record the wave output? Dave Thanks for all your help This forum and it's people rock the casbah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxTick Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 it all depends on the card. what card are you using? also what software are you using? you mentioned 'wave output' so i assume you have a PC. is there a little yellow speaker icon in your system tray? if so, double click on it and go to the recording mixer. i know that soundblaster cards give you the 'what you hear' option in the recording control. if you select that then it will record what comes out of the speakers. it's different for other cards, on my laptop (ESS), if you select 'mixer' in the recording control, it does the same thing. otherwise you'll have to loop the signal from your output back into your input which can get pretty messy. hope this helps. if you need anymore help on this, let me know.

KikkyMonk Posted December 10, 2001 Author Share Posted December 10, 2001 I have an SBlive Platinum, but I have upgraded it to the ASIO drivers so I no longer use that little yellow speaker. Where would I find it on my computer? (maybe I can still use it and its only disabled) Thanks for your info Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XNU8D Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Depends on your OS, Win98 I believe you get to it through control panels-> multimedia-> advanced. Win2k, go to control panel-> Sounds and Multimedia -> Audio "tab" -> Volume. What kind of file are you trying to output to a wave? If it is a .mp3, you can use the output of winamp to output a wav file. But if it's a .ram realaudio file, I believe you'll have to go through more hoops. Who keeps moving my chair?

Simply route the audio output to your cards' S/PDIF output and then setup a new track in your recording program to record from the S/PDIF input. Depending on how the SB Live's routing works, you might have to physically route a S/PDIF Cable from the input to the output, but this process should in theory make a digital copy.
