Need to record what I hear from speakers with other program

I need to record what I hear with a program that can record a programs video and audio.
Is there any way to set speakers as the recording source, instead of mic, or can I set it to both speakers and mic?
If not, then we need an upgrade to our audio mixer that allows this to be done so we can use programs like Snagit or Camtasia to record our music programs playing.  The way it is now, I can only set the mic as the recording source, so I miss the audio the program is playing but get the video of the program playing it.

Hey guys,
I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
What software are you using to record your game?
If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,

  • 0404 USB - Record "What U Hear" / from WAV / AVI etc...

    Hi, on any dinky onboard soundcard you can easily internally record the audio from a video file being played back with programs like soundforge.
    But apparently, on my $260 EMU 0404, the task is nearly impossible.
    I've read that "Patchmix" will do the trick, but the program will not install, citing that "Setup has not found any supported hardware."
    Does anyone know how to get around this? Emu told me I have to set my recording destination to "Wave L/R" but there is no Wave L/R available, just Analog A/B and SPDIF.
    Thanks an advanced,
    EDIT:
    Is "Patchmix" only for PCI versions of the 0404?

  • Recording WHAT YOU Hear from a website?

    Really cool loop from a music company that I would like to record and then send in my email to the SAME music company!
    Possible? How!
    Anyway to get it to play when the user opens his/her email?
    Thanks!
    FOUND IT, AUdio Hijack!

    I know there's software to directly record anything playing through the sound card in your computer, but I don't know where to get such software, so here's something else you can do to record the music.
    First, download Audacity from audacity.sourceforge.net.
    Second, get a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm stereo cable (male on both ends) and run it from the headphone jack to the microphone input on your computer.
    Open Audacity, and click the record button.
    Start playing the song (it won't play through your speakers, but you should see it recording in Audacity).
    When the song is over, click stop, and use Audacity to clip out anything it recorded that wasn't part of the song. Save the song.
    If the company you email the song to has HTML email, you can send your email in HTML format and embed the song from an online location so it starts playing automatically. (Upload the song to a web server and use the <embed src="http://yourwebserver.com/yoursong.mp3"> tag to embed the music. Replace http://yourwebserver.com/yoursong.mp3 with the URL for your song). If they don't have HTML email, you can send the song as an attachment and it might start playing automatically, depending on their mail client, but it might not. You can't really control what it does.

  • Record what you hear programs don't w

    The Audigy ADVANCED MB output works great. But when I try to input sound from . . . the desktop I get nothing. I want to record, perhaps with the Windows Sound Recorder, the same sound that I hear on the speakers. However the Audigy, unlike previous Sound Blaster cards I've worked with, is requiring me to use a line in or a microphone. I've tried re-installing the drivers from the CD. It had no effect. I've tried a number of shareware and freeware programs, all with the same results. Any suggestions?

    Same problem here:?I get the same exact deal and have found only the same solutions. Using my default playback driver (called Digital Audio Interface - SB Audigy) I simply can't record using the corresponding recording driver (called SPDIF-in)... I mean I get nothing out of that recording driver, even when I crank the record level. What gives? Back in the XP days we would just crank the stereo mix on the recording settings, hit record and call it good.
    One thought I had was maybe because I have Win Vista 64 bit. *shrug*. I just think it shouldn't be this ridiculous to record what I hear. I mean do I need another card? I am using the Audigy SE. Frustrating!?I hope some solutions arise soon!!? Any insight?Cheers,?James

  • Record what you hear with X-Fi on Win 7?

    I searched around and still have a problem with this.
    I've tried both the Windows Update driver and the Creative driver from the Soundblaster X-Fi Support page.
    Neither have given me the option to enable "Stereo Mix" or "wave Out" or anything to enable me to Record what I hear through my speakers. (In control panel > sound > right click "show disabled devices" nothing shows up but "Auxiliary")
    This used to work fine on XP before I upgraded to Win7. Now I can get it to work...any other ideas besides the ones I've tried already? Thanks.

    , I've got this same issue as well. I'm on 2.7.007 drivers in windows 7 64 bit and I don't have any of the options for recording speaker sound. It's a little disappointing. I spent years on a generic integrated sound card and could do this any time I wanted. I upgrade to a titanium x-fi card and love the sound, but I miss those abilities.

  • Record what you hear

    I have a Pavillion DV8-1250EA 4 GB RAM 2x320 GB Discs which has an IDT HD Audio device and uses the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
    I want to knwo how to record audio internally (e.g. audio played from the Internet).
    I am able to do this on my desktop which has a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro card and runs Windows XP Professional 32-bit by recording "What You Hear".
    It seems just a little bit of an oversight to have omitted this functionality on such a powerful and feature-packed system designed for multi-media. 

    I do run Audacity and I have tried to use this to record "What You Hear" on the HP Laptop. The only recording device shown in Audacity is Master. If I try to use this to record, it only picks up inputs from the inbuilt microphone and the externl microphone, if attached. Any sound coming out of the speakers is picked up by the inbuilt microphone and can be recorded in this way but that is, obviously, not satisfactory.
    Another method would be to cable the earphone output to the external microphone input and disable or mute the built-in microphone. Again, this is hardly satisfactory.
    I would have expected the audio detected internally to be available for recording, which it is not because I do not believe the IDT HD drivers present it.
    In desperation, I have contacted IDT directly.
    This is the sort of thing I have taken for granted, having had an excellent sound system on my desktop for years. It seems that Soundblaster takes some beating, both in terms of quality and technology. Perhaps HP would do well to consider this.

  • Recording what you hear on the comp

    Well I got cubase but everytime i export the song the sounds are all different and ultimately the song sounds completely different then it was on the program, and even if i figured out how to fix this, i still have the problem of converting it a different format. So, instead of doing the two i was hoping to see if there is any way i can record what i hear on the computer. I tried and i didnt find a way and hoping someone here could guide me... i got an Audigy 2 Value and Windows XP if that is of any help. It be very appreciated if someone could help me. Thanks

    which version of cubase are you using? as i dont use the home pakages im not 100% on if evertythings the same but im sure this will be! what export function are you using? and what is the input channel selected recording in the computers audio devices! if you select the input as waves that might help the "what you hear" recording outside of cubase.
    use said you are using only midi files i agree with jutapa about using the vsti's if you read the cubase manual you will find that it mentions something about not being about to mixdown outside midi functions with out syncing the device cubase or something along those lines!
    i didn't pay all that much attention as it's never been a problem for me!
    here the part of the manual on mix down
    The Export Audio Mixdown function in Cubase SX/SL allows you to mix
    down audio from the program to a file on your hard disk, in a number of
    formats. You can choose to mix down one of the following:
    An output bus.
    For example, if you have set up a stereo mix with tracks routed to a stereo output bus,
    mixing down that output bus would give you a mixdown file containing the whole mix.
    Similarly, you can mix down a complete surround bus, either to a single multi-channel
    file (interleaved) or to one file per surround channel (split).
    The channel for an audio track (Cubase SX only).
    This will mix down the channel for the track, complete with insert effects, EQ, etc. This
    can be useful for turning a number of events into a single file, or if you are using CPUintensive
    insert effects – by exporting the track and re-importing it into the project you
    can turn off the insert effect, saving processor power.
    Any kind of audio channel in the mixer (Cubase SX only).
    This includes VST Instrument channels, effect return channels (FX Channel tracks),
    Group channels and ReWire channels. There are many uses for this – for example, you
    can mix down an effect return track or turn individual ReWire channels into audio files.
    Notes
    The Export Audio Mixdown function mixes down the area between the
    left and right locator.
    When you mix down, you get what you hear – mutes, mixer settings
    and insert effects are taken into account.
    Note though that you will only include the sound of the bus or channel you select for
    mixdown.
    here's the bit okay seems you can't record midi in the mix down at all you have to record it like a normal audio file first. that's just with the record button on to a normal audio track you'll have to figure out how to get your midi to feed through into cubase
    the way i do it is only leave the information out to the midi device plugged in and then plug the analog out put of the device into the input that cubase will record this will make sure cubase records the file as an audio file with out getting a cross over of the midi information being sent(i hope that makes sence some times i can make a muddle of explaining things). there are other ways to do this but this ways nice and simple and lazy! and works just aswell as any other.
    MIDI tracks are not included in the mixdown!
    To make a complete mixdown containing both MIDI and audio, you first need to record
    all your MIDI music to audio tracks (by connecting the outputs of your MIDI instruments
    to your audio inputs and recording, as with any other sound source).
    With Cubase SX, you can also export selected tracks – this is a different
    function that doesn’t create an audio mixdown.
    Rather, this is a way to transfer complete tracks (including clips and events) from one
    project to another
    i left everything else in just in case you wanted to check through it!
    1. Set up the left and right locator to encompass the area that you want
    to mix down.
    2. Set up your tracks, so that they play back the way you want.
    This includes muting unwanted tracks or parts, making manual mixer settings and/or
    activating the R (Read) automation buttons for some or all mixer channels.
    3. Pull down the File menu and select “Audio Mixdown…” from the
    Export submenu.
    The Export Audio Mixdown dialog appears.
    The upper half of this dialog is a standard file dialog, while the lower
    half contains file format options and settings for the mixdown function.
    Note that the available settings and options differ depending on the
    selected file format
    Select the bus or channel you want to mix down with the Outputs popup
    menu (with Cubase SL you can only export busses, not channels).
    This lists all output busses and channels in the active project.
    5. Select the channel configuration for the mixdown file with the
    Channels pop-up menu.
    Typically you would select the same channel configuration as the bus or channel you’re
    mixing down, but it’s also possible to e.g. mix down a stereo bus to a mono file. In this
    case a warning will appear, asking if that’s what you want to do.
    Here you will also find the “N. Chan. Split” and “N. Chan. Interleaved” options – these
    allow you to create a surround mixdown file, either as one mono file per surround channel
    – split – or as a single multi-channel file – interleaved (Cubase SX only).
    The Channels pop-up and the “N. Chan” options are only available when
    an uncompressed file format is selected (AIFF, uncompressed Wave,
    Wave64 or Broadcast Wave).
    For the other formats you can select stereo or mono using controls that are specific to
    each format. When mixing down to 5.1 Surround, you also have the option to mix down
    to Windows Media Audio Pro (Windows and Cubase SX only) – see page 670.
    6. Select a file format with the File type pop-up menu.
    7. Make additional settings for the file to be created.
    This includes selecting sample rate, resolution, quality, etc. The available options depend
    on the selected file format – see page 660.
    8. If you want to automatically import the resulting audio file back into
    Cubase SX/SL, activate the “Import to” checkboxes.
    If you activate the “Pool” checkbox, a clip referring to the file will appear in the Pool.
    Activating the “Audio Track” checkbox as well will create an audio event that plays the
    clip, and place it on a new audio track, starting at the left locator.
    The Import options are only available if you have selected an uncompressed
    file format (AIFF, uncompressed Wave, Wave64 or Broadcast
    Wave files).
    9. If you activate Real-Time Export, the export will happen in real time, i.e.
    the process will take the same time as regular playback.
    Some VST plug-ins require this to have time to update correctly during the mixdown –
    consult the plug-in manufacturers if uncertain.
    CUBASE SX/SL
    Export Audio Mixdown 27 – 659
    When Real-Time Export is activated, the exported audio will be played
    back on the Audition bus.
    The fader below the Real-Time Export checkbox allows you to adjust the volume of the
    Audition bus.
    10.If you activate Update Display, the meters will be updated during the
    export process.
    This allows you to check for clipping, for example.
    11.Select a folder and a name for the audio file to be created.
    With some file formats you can create split stereo files (see page 661).
    This will create two files (one for each side) with the same name, but
    with the letter “L” appended for the left channel file and “R” for the right
    channel file.
    In the same way, split multi-channel (surround) files (Cubase SX only) will have the
    same name followed by a number indicating the surround channel.
    12.Click Save.Depending on the file format, an additional dialog may appear.For example, when exporting to MP3 format a dialog appears where you can add infoabout the song title, artist, etc. Make the desired
    settings and click OK to proceed.A dialog with a progress bar is displayed while the audio file is created.If you change your mind during the file creation, you can click theAbort button to abort the operation.if you
    have activated any of the “Import to” options, the file will be importedback into the project.When playing back the re-imported file in Cubase SX/SL, remember to mute the originaltracks so that you really hear the true result.
    hope thast helps

  • Recording What You Hear

    Does anyone know if there is a way to record what you hear with Audtion 3? I recently upgraded from Audition 1 when I upgraded my pc and os. I would like to be able to record streaming sound from the internet. I am using Vista (32 bit) and Windows 7 (64 bit)on the two computers that have Audtion 3 installed. Thanks for you input. This question seems to be unaswered on the internet.

    Actually, there's discussion about this all over the Internet.
    The problem is your move to Vista and Windows 7
    Under pressure from the record companies, the ability to record the Stereo Mix output of you computer has been disabled or removed from many new computers.
    You may be lucky and find it's only been disabled on your machine.  If so, then do the following:
    To enable:
    ->> go to Control Panel
    ->> Hardware and Sound
    ->> Manage Audio devices
    ->> in the Recording tab window right click in the white area away from any devices and from the menu enable "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show disconnected devices"
    ->> right click on Stereo Mix to get the properties window and in Device usage "Use this device (enable)"
    However, there have been many reports in here (you can do a search) that some computer manufacturers are actually removing this ability entirely, again under pressure from the record companies.
    This being the case, you might try some software called Virtual Audio Cable: http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
    You have to pay for it but at least there's a trial version so you can see if it works for you before laying out your money.

  • RCrackling when recording "What U Hear" in WaveStudio7 (SB X-Fi Titanium)

    Hi, I hope you can help, I recently purchased and installed a Creative SB X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Champion Series souncard (driver version: 2. 7. 7), I am running Windows 7 64bit.
    Playback is fine, however, when I try to record "what u hear" in WaveStudio 7, there is a distinct crackling when the recording is played back (it also appears in the waveform).
    Does anybody know the solution?
    Thanks.

    V The last two Titanium drivers are meant to have a built in workaround to compensate for problems with the Nvidia/Creative crackling issue. Be sure to update to the newest of those. Also, be sure to grab your newest motherboard chipset drivers and update those as well. For a good while, the NFORCE drivers had not changed so if you have an NFORCE chipset, you should find some now. Also, Intel has issued newer drivers for their boards as well.

  • Can I share books purchased from Apple with other IPad users

    Can I share books purchased from Apple with other IPad users

    You can share them this way:
    Suppose you and the person you're trying to share with (I'll call her Jane) have two separate computers with two separate Apple IDs.  Each of those two computers have a current version of iTunes.
    You could copy your book from your version of iTunes over to Jane's.  How you do that depends on what types of computers you have, etc.
    So now your book is sitting in Jane's iTunes.  But you own the book, so Jane cannot access it.  What you have to do, then, is authorize Jane to access the book you bought.
    You do that on Jane's computer in iTunes by going to Store > Authorize This Computer in iTunes' menu.  Enter your Apple ID and password there.
    Then once Jane syncs her iPad to her iTunes, she will have access to your book.

  • Can you share/lend books that have bought from iBook with others users?

    Can you share/lend books that have you have bought from iBook with other iPad users?

    At this time, unless I've missed something recently, you cannot. You can load an iBook onto multiple iPads if these are all owned by your household though (you can't give an iBook to a friend, for instance, or a relative that lives elsewhere).
    If the ability to lend books is important to you, you may wish to purchase Kindle books from Amazon, though you'll want to confirm that the book has lending enabled - not all do - and that the Kindle app for iOS supports lending.
    This is one of the several advantages of physical books; the ability to loan them out or give them to someone else. Whether the book publishers will ever allow similar unfettered handling of electronic books is unknown, though I'd guess they'll be dragged to it kicking and screaming.
    Regards.

  • Lost audio capture 'what you hear' from conexant

    I have an HP Pavilion DV2278ea laptop running Vista 32bit and have all OS updates apart from those announced in the last few weeks. I recently upgraded the software for the Conexant High Definition onboard sound card to the latest August 08 version 4.36.7.60 C. All seemed fine until I came to do an audio capture from an internet stream using Roxio. The only capture device listed was the microphone - there used to be one that said Conexant Audio 'What you Hear' to capture anything heard through the speakers. On checking Sounds in Control Panel the only recording device is the microphone. Sound works okay from both the internal and external speakers. I've tried rolling back the drivers but its still the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Ok this has driven me mad for the last few days but I found the solution:
    Windows Vista Recording Input Source selections for recording streaming audio, sound from media players or just about anything you can hear coming through your speakers are Hidden from view and Disabled by Default. (I'm sorry - but why!!?!   )
    If your sound card/system supports recording streaming audio Input Source selections such as: Stereo Mix, What U Hear, Wave Out Mix, Wave or a similar selection, here's what you need to do to Enable it for recording:
    Right-Click on your Speaker Icon in your System Tray, (near your clock), select "Recording Devices".
    In the Sound window that opens, near the top, select the "Recording" TAB.
    Move your cursor down to where devices are shown.
    Right-Click in the blank white area and select "Show Disabled Devices".
    If supported, new selections will appear such as: Stereo Mix, What U Hear, etc. Right-Click on "Stereo Mix", "What U Hear" or similar and select "Enable".
    Right-Click on the same item again and select "Set as Default Device". Click OK.
    Now in the recorder's Options in the "Input Source" box, you should have the "Stereo Mix", "What U Hear" or similar source available to select for recording streaming, etc.
    (You can also Enable other hidden selections like Microphone, Line In, etc. if they are not already shown).
