I also had the Santa Cruz by Turtle Beach and could never get that working, or even in full duplex mode, even after with several conversations with technical support. Otherwise, every other aspect of that card worked fine. CD I "just recorded" a symposium from uctv played with realplayer with the Santa Cruz sound card onto a tape drive using the output from the "back speakers" connection. Any soundcard with speaker or earphone output jacks can be used as input to a recorder. OK. It looks like you are doing it through hardware with the addition of some extra cables to set up a loop. With the SBLive, The output, or "what you hear" is caught by software. No extra cables needed. CD ????? I was still able to listen thru the external speakers connected to the soundcard while recording onto a tape recorder. Only 1 cable was needed & that is being used to connect from the soundcard to the external tape recorder. I don't think that SBLive can put good sound into a recorder without a cable; if a microphone is used for the recorder, that is still an extra cable & the sound is won't be as good as recording using an electrical connection. |

I'm not disputing the quality, just the actual setup. I could have done the wire setup you mentioned as well, but the SBLive is able to record it's actual output, what you hear on your speakers, without the need for extra cables. So, you can record RealAudio just like that. No extra setup. And as far as quality, I'm not expecting much when it comes to most any internet audio stream, be it Real, mp3 radio, etc. It's all mediocre at best. In "what you hear" mode, the creative software is catching eerything right after going through the DA converter. As an example of this, one time while recording an internet radio streeam, I was on AIM. You guessed it, all those AIM sounds wound up in the recording. Doh!  CD I'm curious. We may be talking of different recording media. SBLive is the soundcard or software or both? Are you recording to an external device? If you are recording onto your hard drive, it is quite different than if you are recording to an external tape machine. What a soundcard with output ports is doing exactly what you claim is unique to SBLive when recording to a tape deck; the electrical signals going into the tape deck is exactly the same as the signals going into the speakers. Do you really think that the sound going into the tape machine is different than the sound going to the external speakers? Or perhaps you are thinking of the sound going to the internal speaker in your computer. Do you think the soundcard will send different sound signals when you disconnect the speakers and connect a tape machine as a replaced connection? |

The setup you mention can be done with any soundcard, but the ability for a soundcard to record its own output without the need for extra wires is somewhat unique. Of course, now there are other posters indiciating that the uniqueness may have not been the case. I've owned several soundcards, and the only one I could get to record its own output was the SBLive. All my other soundcards either did not have the feature at all, or there was a technicality or difficulty implementing it. For example, my Santa Cruz card featured the capability to run full duplex and capure its speaker output. I never got either of those features to work. I suspct that because I was running Windows 98, the Win98 drivers were limited in their functionality, but Turtle Beach, the guys who made the card, didn't want to admit it. They had NT/2000 drivers for the card as which probably did everything right, but I wasn't about to do a whole OS upgrade just to enable those features. CD I think we got our "signals" crossed. The original posting is the desire to "record & listen" the daughter's broadcasts. I took it to mean recording as a permanent "record" and not a "capture"; realplayer now also have a "capture" feature of video & sound. |

There's been some signals crossed, but I think my signal has been coming in loud and clear CD Whatever. The body of the msg had "record and listen". There are too many subject title msgs that are quite different from what the msg actually said or wanted in detailed explaination. You went by the subject title & I went by the what the posting actually stated. |

In your volume control settings, enable the "what you hear" setting. After that, anything you hear through the speakers can be recorded, either by using the basic recorder that came with SBLive software, creative recorder, or any wav recording program you might have, like Cool Edit. CD Most cards have the same capability. I've used this method many times to record streaming audio. BTM Are you sure? I've owned 3, and the SBLive was the only one I could use. I also had the Santa Cruz by Turtle Beach and could never get that working, or even in full duplex mode, even after with several conversations with technical support. Otherwise, every other aspect of that card worked fine. CD I "just recorded" a symposium from uctv played with realplayer with the Santa Cruz sound card onto a tape drive using the output from the "back speakers" connection. Any soundcard with speaker or earphone output jacks can be used as input to a recorder. OK. It looks like you are doing it through hardware with the addition of some extra cables to set up a loop. With the SBLive, The output, or "what you hear" is caught by software. No extra cables needed. CD ????? I was still able to listen thru the external speakers connected to the soundcard while recording onto a tape recorder. Only 1 cable was needed & that is being used to connect from the soundcard to the external tape recorder. I don't think that SBLive can put good sound into a recorder without a cable; if a microphone is used for the recorder, that is still an extra cable & the sound is won't be as good as recording using an electrical connection. I'm not disputing the quality, just the actual setup. I could have done the wire setup you mentioned as well, but the SBLive is able to record it's actual output, what you hear on your speakers, without the need for extra cables. So, you can record RealAudio just like that. No extra setup. And as far as quality, I'm not expecting much when it comes to most any internet audio stream, be it Real, mp3 radio, etc. It's all mediocre at best. In "what you hear" mode, the creative software is catching eerything right after going through the DA converter. As an example of this, one time while recording an internet radio streeam, I was on AIM. You guessed it, all those AIM sounds wound up in the recording. Doh! CD I recommend Super Mp3 Recorder at http://www.supermp3recorder.com. It's helpful in capturing streaming audio. |
