Record streaming audio audacity4/17/2024 ![]() ![]() Works well with RecordPad Sound Recording Software for preparing audio for digital presentations or audio books * SoundTap complies with Microsoft's DRM signed driver model and will not record streams if a DRM player is used and if the stream is marked as DRM copy-protected.Record and save music and other streaming audio such as lectures and live webinars.Create a podcast with audio recorded from Skype calls.Directly links to MixPad Audio File Mixer so you can mix your recording with other audio files.Directly links to Switch MP3 File Converter Software so you can convert the files from mp3 to over 20 other file formats.Directly links to WavePad Sound Editor Software so you can edit the files you have recorded.Works with all popular media players (e.g., Windows Media Player, Real Audio, QuickTime) and softphones (e.g., Skype, Google Hangouts, Slack, FaceTime).Record audio from your computer and microphone simultaneously to easily create voiceovers or record both sides of a conference call.When the music ends, simply tap the yellow Stop button. Youll see a waveform track generated on the main interface while recording. When the music is ready, click on the red Record button on the top bar to start the recording, and then start playing the music immediately. Saves files in wav or mp3 format with a wide range of selected codec and compression options Open the streaming music that you want to record.Record audio played on your computer in direct digital with no quality loss.And if you are clipping that’s WORSE than a little loss of resolution. The only way is lowering the volume within the audio app, with loss of resolution.Īctually, amplification followed by attenuation isn’t necessarily lossy unless you are clipping. And with CDs you shouldn’t be “recording” anyway. ![]() With analog, the resolution is usually limited by the noise floor, so again no big deal. The biggest issue with streaming audio is that it’s usually lossy-compressed. And it is perceived as noise riding on top of the signal, you don’t hear it as a “loss of resolution”. If you get down to 8-bits you can hear the quantization noise. You can’t hear the difference in “resolution” between 16-bits and 15-bits, and your dynamic range goes from 96dB down to 90dB which is still very good. That’s really not a big issue at 16-bits or better. ![]() Lowering the volume of the streaming to get headroom involves a loss of resolution at the rate of 1 bit every 6 dB of volume lowering. Most player software won’t boost (they can always attenuate) but VLC can boost over 100% and I’m sure there are others. … and there is no way to control the recording volume in audacity when recording via wasapi loopback the slider works only with microphone recording.īut your PLAYER software DOES have a volume control and that will be reflected in your recording. I measured the RMS amplitude in the original cd audio track, and then I measured the RMS amplitude in the same track recorded via wasapi loopback: the amplitude is boosted by about 4 dB. I’m pretty confident your problems were on the PLAYBACK SIDE. Usually these work on the playback, but of course with loopback you are recording what you’re playing. GOOD! Sometimes there are “driver utilities” that allow you to equalize, or create surround effects, or otherwise alter the sound. Now I have tried with different audio drivers of different audio hardware and the problem has disappeared, so probably the problem lies not in Audacity but in the buggy drivers of certain audio hardware. ![]()
