Help required - Recording real time sound off of Sound cards

balkaras

Hi,

I hardly have a clue as to how I can record real-time sound off of the sound card. Do I need to initialize a recorder/player for such a purpose, or do sound-cards spit out a sound format/file which can be saved and used again.

Inviting replies.

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

You could do this one of two ways;

1) Link your PC to a recording device like a portable MiniDisc recorder or even a stereo and record onto a tape or use a cd recorder.

What you would need is a lead to go from a (small headphone size) 3.55mm male jack to the red and white phone plugs.
You can buy these quite cheaply at computer fairs or any maplins store, see www.maplins.co.uk

2) Use a program like ALLRECORDER available from www.allrecorder.com

This will record sound to an MP3 or WAV file for as long as you want it to ( or until your hard-drive is full ).

You might be able to find a free or shareware sound-recorder program, check this results page from google ( best of luck finding a program you like )>

Hope this helps? :-)
