Title: Re: HOW DO I RECORD AUDIO ON MY 'PUTER? Post by: WU2D on September 19, 2006, 10:15:49 PM I just had to do this last week with my laptop. I needed a couple of files to demonstrate a microphone setup which was noisy compared to a clean microphone. I had to make a couple of 30 second clips to attach to an E-Mail. Most laptops have onboard audio and most desktops have a sound card.
The audio recorder built into windows 2K or XP works great for short wave files. I'm not kidding. Find your volume control settings and unmute the line input and pump in the audio. The sampling rate is plenty good enough to get decent signal to noise and fidelity for voice audio. Mike WU2D Title: Re: HOW DO I RECORD AUDIO ON MY 'PUTER? Post by: WA3VJB on September 20, 2006, 11:26:28 AM No kidding about internal software, called "sound recorder" (how creative).
Go to your "start" menu, then go to "programs, and come across to where It's hidden in the "accessories," and then "entertainment" menus of XP. What's cool is that the viewing window they offer for setting level is the same color and waveform as an oscilloscope. So it will be familiar, eh ? You can get into the advanced settings to create an uncompresed "wav" suffix file or others. Here's one recorded last night on a basic laptop driven at mic level off the headphone jack of the open reel machine on which it was originally recorded off the diode load of an R390A. http://wa3vjb.amham.com/sound/AudioHell.mp3 Title: Re: HOW DO I RECORD AUDIO ON MY 'PUTER?
