Morning,
I've been struggling to find a way to effectively use my card's wave
out as a recording source.
The easiest way to describe this is that I want what SB Live offers,
which is a recording source called "What you hear", selectable in the
mixer. This allows any application, messenger, windows recorder, etc.
to use the wave out as the default recording source.
I have a pro EDIROL UA-5 audio interface. I'm using its ASIO driver
with cubase and it runs wonderfully, low latency with VST effects and
all. The drivers for the UA-5 dont have a mixer with a "What you hear"
option, only sblive has that as far as I know.
Seems there should be a way around this. If I were to visualize an
application that would solve this, it may do something like this:
Register a virtual MME recording device with windows, read the audio
from my card's wave out and stream it to the newly created recording
device. Not so hard right?
Physically patching an output to an input wouldn't completely solve it
either. If I looped it back to my interface, the raw line input would
still be in the signal. That is, if I use cubase and vst effects then
loop back to another input and record from that input; both the
effects signal AND the normal signal would be on the recording. I
can't patch it to my onboard card either because my onboard card is
busted (bummer huh).
I know of "Total record" and even a horrible program called "Virtual
Audio Cable". Unfortunately, none of them do the trick for me.
There's got to be a way right?
Thanks for any Help,
Zach
