Hmm, that's a bit low! ;-) Check your recording quality, CD quality for wav files is 44kHz, stereo and equates to 172KB/sec or 604MB's for an hour. Although in saying that you only need to match record quality with stream quality, basically match the sample rate (kHz) in the sampler/recorder to rate that stream was recorded in.
I forgot about the 60 second limit in sound recorder. You can use GoldWave to record long (1GB) files, or Sound Forge if you want to pay out for the best. (I used GoldWave to record some live house DJ sets back in in Boston so they could make CD's etc. Worked like a charm.) -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Harkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 10:41 To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Boogying to techno thanks kevin - i tried that and it worked, but it is preset to only record 60 seconds - so i am experimenting with some commercial products - the only thing i could think of to do next... btw the sound file for two minutes was about a MB so 30 MB an hour is quite tolerable..... patrick At 09:49 AM 20/11/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Depends on your OS, what OS are you using? >In Win2K, >-double-click on your volume control >-select options -> properties >-select the recording radio button > <this bit varies by soundcards> >-tick the list of possible recording sources you might want to use > mine are CD, line in, AND Wave out (or something like Wave out, it >can vary depending on your soundcards mixer software). -Click OK > >Now you should see the volume controls for the various audio sources. >-Click the select check box for Wave out mix. > >Now bring up Sound Recorder (or any other sample recorder) It's at >Start -> Program Files -> Accessories -> Entertainment > >Play something in RealPlayer/WinAmp and hit record in Sound Recorder. >Voila. >Caveat: The files recorded are wav's and therefore huge and you'll also >need to mess about with recording levels to record the sound >faithfully. > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Patrick Harkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 09:38 >To: CF-Community >Subject: RE: Boogying to techno > > >Being totally ignorant here.... :) >how do you record wav direct from sound card, please? > >thx > >pat > >At 09:21 AM 20/11/2001 -0500, you wrote: > >Damn I need coffee.
