Re: [microsound] recording sound

[Christian Aeschliman <ozwanderlust@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hahahaha ... that's funny ... I asked EVERYWHERE about this same problem
about a year ago and no one offered any help ... now it has come full
circle.

Dude, I have the solution ... any of you Delta 66 owning lurkers can read,
too.

Virtual Audio Cable and all those things never worked for me, so here's what
I did:

========================================

The Delta 66 PCI card (not the breakout box) has two RCA ports in the back
of it:  SPDIF In and SPDIF Out.  Get a nice RCA cable (or even an extra
special *SPDIF* cable) and plug one end in SPDIF In and the other end in
SPDIF Out.

Now ... when you want to record what's coming out of the computer live ...
like let's say you were fooling around with a sound program live and you
didn't want to/couldn't use automation ... you could do the following:

In the Delta 66 control panel, set your output to SPDIF Out... and in a
program like Wavelab or SoundForge (what I use) set it to record from SPDIF
In.  You won't get any feedback or anything like that.

Trust me dude, this works ... you may have to fool with it for a while ...
like maybe mess with the SPDIF settings if it doesn't work right away.

======================================

Another route you can go by is using Tobybear's "Channel Grabber"

The description from http://www.tobybear.de :
"A nifty little VST plugin that allows you to grab the incoming audio stream
and save it as a WAV file, in 16 or 32 bit resolution! In the latest version
you can also capture from the live input of your sound card and save it as a
wave file."
http://tobybear.phreque.com/chgrabber.zip

Works pretty well ... although last time I used it it sounded kind of ... I
dunno ... "flat" or something.  Maybe because it catches the signal before
it gets mixed anywhere or something?  I'm not badass enough to know, I
guess.

===================================

So yeah ... good luck and everything.

Cheers,
-Christian

Subject: [microsound] recording sound


ok guys, this has been mentioned before more than likely.
i am using the delta 66 soundcard and was wondering how to record the sounds
that one hears out of the monitors?

without connecting the direct outputs to inputs of the physical soundcard or
using the software called total recorder?

i have a copy of wavelab4 and currently own and have installed soundforge 6
on the pc.
is there a way to tweak those programs to do this?
the

any tips?

windows 98se (yes, old, but has the most compatibility presently with
software) is the os.

peace
