Recording 'what you hear'

TonySoprano · Post by **TonySoprano** » Sat Oct 29, 2005 11:28 am

Anyone know of an app that will record whatever's going through the soundcard? If I'm lifting some speech samples from a DVD that's playing, is there any way of recording it without going through the whole ripping scenario? I used to have a Soundblaster soundcard that had a 'record what you hear' option. No so with this M-Audio kit.

I usually do a loop-back manually on the card - just a cable from the outs to the ins. Sound just fine. What kind of M-Audio are you using?

I'm onWindows, using an M-Audio Audiophine USB. Using the Soundblaster, there was a 'what u hear' option. Don't seem to see an equivalent in the XP options.

the ear is the only organ fully developed at birth.

no piece of audio equipment can respond as acurately as the ear.

or not?

I used a nifty little app called Audio Record Wizard. Pretty good at what it does, have a search for it on google.

there somewhere in properties you can select what recording options are visible and then just select something

that's still not a "what you hear" option.

machinate- i got you:)

had the same deal with the sound blaster, then got a new laptop and was frustrated i couldnt "record what i heard."

download a nifty little free app called "virtual audio cable"
here:

read a little bit about what it does and how to set it up.

i use it in conjunction with sound forge 7 and i can now record anything that is going on in my computer (including lines from movies that are playing on my dvd player!)

enjoy.
