Re: [IRCA] Audio file recording question

Dunno where my earlier response went....

Colin:
Audacity can record from anything, internal or external. There is no restriction. To record what you are hearing through the speakers, simply set the driver (window below the pause button) to "Windows WASAPI" and the input to "Speakers (Realtek High Definition)" or whatever your output device is.

Patrick:
Wav files are huge. That's why you had problems. It's why everyone advised you to make an mp3.

Colin,

I messed around with it last night and made a wav file. I then attached it to the report and tried to send it through my mail through Outlook/MSN. It would not send it. It sat there trying for over a 1/2 hour. Then this morning, I tried again through gmail and it went. I clicked on the sent mail copy and the audio still played. So hopefully Jerry can play it on his end. Thank you for all of your help.

You have a CD in your PC Drive and you want to use Audacity to record it?

With most PC's you cannot record like this - Audacity is a
recorder that records from an external source -- but, depending on the computer
you have, it may be able to record the "bus" or whatever is being "monitored"
by the sound card.

How you set that up varies my each machine.

In this case you are better off "Ripping" the tracks off of the CD
or playing the CD in an external source and running the line level
audio from an external CD player to the computer.

Any of this making any sense so far?

Colin,





I downloaded Audacity. How does it work? How to I dub from a CD in the drive on the computer to form a file? Thanks.
