Recording Soundmanager Output Options

[focacciaman]

Hello,

I have a standard G4 400.

I was just wondering if it is possible to record the output of the sound card at a software level (without connecting the soundcard output to the sound card input).

e.g. If I have something like a game running I wan't to record the sounds at a software level (because if I connect my soundcard output to the input I have no place to connect my stereo amplifier).

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

hello for the first time ,

what you said reminded me that i did have some things i had to sort out before aiff writter worked.

i was using it with motu performer, and within this app and i assume most sequencer apps you can select soundmanager drivers seperately of the sound control panel.

i don't run performer anymore but digital performer. i just checked it and i what i had/have to do to get it to run is to disable input as i guess it isn't very stable to run differing drivers for input and output (dp is very good about giving you usefull warnings). i also had to 'overide' the internal buffer size.

i'm not sure why, or what this does...i understand that audio is buffered into a small amount of ram before you finally hear it to make audio run more smoothly, but overriding it , i dunno.

i t probobly has something to do with the fact that since your not actually playing the file but writting it to disk, and this wouldn't require a buffer.

the extension is fiddly, i'll say that much it is a nice option to have though.

btw dp has a plug-in called audio tap which lets you route soundmanager output internally to any stereo audio track for recording, a pretty nice feature. ill used by myself. i've basically limited myself to dp, peak, pluggo, and soundhack. but before when i downloaded every interesting looking demo or piece of share/freeware i used it quite a bit more.
