to amend the information Dane gave. If your sound card has "stereo mix" or
"What you hear" in the record section, with these features turned on you can
capture anything that goes through the sound card.

Subject: Recording Audio
Hi!
For the purposes of this discussion - as Lisa's asked a perfectly valid
question - I've changed the subject line to avoid confusion.
Yes products like Goldwave, Sound Forge, Total Recorded, Audacity and
Wavepad have the ability to record from at least the input or multiple
audio input hardware sources of a computer and that's where Total Recorder
is different, this software has the purpose built ability to record any
audio which is coming in and out of a Windows computer and this includes
software streams such as Internet broadcasts, Skye chats, streams of audio
being played by another application such as Winamp or Windows media player
and so on, to my knowledge software such as Sound Forge, Goldwave,
audacity and Wavepad cannot "capture" this type of audio so that's where
Total Recorder comes into its own.
As to what you want or need? Well that's a personal choice, you may find
yourself buying one or more applications for your use, Total Recorder for
example is excellent! for the person who wants to "Record" audio, with its
built-in tools and flexibility it can't be beaten and the Professional
edition has a good built-in audio editor to boot. On the other hand of
you're thinking abut doing audio editing which requires the precise
manipulation of sound they you may have to go for a piece of software with
better editing capabilities such as Sound Forge or Goldwave, I personally
recommend Goldwave over Sound Forge and I've documented a lot of my
reasons why on this list. The really great thing is that you can get both
Total Recorder and Goldwave - in other words a great recording and a great
editing tool - for well under a hundred dollars, armed with these 2 pieces
of software you'll have most of what you'll ever require for manipulating
sound on your computer, burning sound to CD and so on.
The primers I gave a link to on the Total Recorder web site can be adapted
to other applications in the main because the steps outlined are pretty
straight forward though some may not apply to different applications as
outlined above.

Hi,
My name is Lisa and I'm new to this list: I have one quick question
couldn't you also do the same with gold wave as total recorder. Suppose
someone wants to record from the victor stream instead of using a tape
player could you get the same results from both pieces of soft wear? Or
is one better than the other?
thanks'
Lisa

Hi everyone!
I response to a question from Steve yesterday regarding recording Skype
conversations, Googletalk etc, I know he wasn't exactly talking about
those pieces of software but the link to the following tutorial on the
Total Recorder web site should help with most audio chat applications.
For those who record audio - whether it be from the net or from a tape
deck - I would certainly recommdn the Professional edition of Total
Recorder to be in your application toolbox.
