Re: Official Sable Contest
@brian in order to record audio and the game at the same time you would need to buy a mixer or use a software audio routing program like vb cable or virtual audio cable. But you could record the game then record a separate track with your commentary over it. TO do so with audacity:
1. Go to the preferences dialog in audacity with ctrl-p, and in the treeview of preference categories, click the device option and then tab to the host field and choose windows wasapi from that list. Then press enter to close the dialog. Open the transport menu with alt-r then click rescan audio devices.
To record the game track, press shift-I from the main window and you will open a combo box with input devices. You will see a list of output device loopbacks such as speaker/headphones loopback. Pick the one that corresponds to your output device and press enter. Open the transport menu again, and under transport options, ensure the software playthrough is unchecked, and overdub is checked.
Press r to begin recording. Play through your game, it will get all your computer audio. When you are finished, alt tab back to audacity then press the spacebar. You can check the status bar and it will just give you the sample rate of 44100 if it's not recording.
To record your commentary:
press home to go back to the beginning of the recording. Go to the track menu with alt-t, click add new, then click audio track to start another audio track. Press shift-I to go back to the list of input devices then select your microphone, then enter to confirm. Check that track 2 is selected by pressing up/down arrows. If it says not selected or if track 1 is selected, press enter to toggle the select state of the track you are focused on. then press r to start recording your commentary. You'll hear the other track you recorded and you can talk over it and stuff. Press space when you're finished recording.
Press alt-f for the file menu, then click export and then click export audio... And then in the type combo box select mp3 and then in the name box name it and save it and just let it export and then dropbox it or something so we can hear it.
