However, I don&#8217;t know if this is the case with all cards, so I&#8217;ve come up with a solution for cards that don&#8217;t support this. This is useful if you want to save, say, a MOD or MIDI file to disk as music. It also works for CD players which don&#8217;t support reading audio data over the IDE bus. You could, for example, record a track to disk as audio, then encode it as an MP3 for use with a portable MP3 player.<br \/>\nNote that you&#8217;ll need a full-dupex card to do this &#8212; your card <i>must<\/i> allow simultaneous recording and playback. Alternately, it should be possible with two sound cards, though I don&#8217;t know if BeOS presently supports more than one sound card. Here&#8217;s how:<br \/>\nConnect the line-out jack to the line-in jack with a patch cable. Go into Media prefs \/ Audio Output and mute the line-in. This doesn&#8217;t stop the input, but it will prevent it from feeding through to the output and causing a feedback loop.<br \/>\nStart recording, then play what you want to record.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iae.nl\/users\/gertjan\/be\/\">BamBam<\/a> for recording and the file won&#8217;t record into RAM, note that BamBam has a Record to File function which records direct to disc. Be warned though, as audio data can eat disk space very quickly &#8212; stereo CD quality requires approximately 10MB per minute.<br \/>\nIf your card has SPDIF input and output you can patch these ports together. This removes most if not all analogue signal paths, thus reducing the possibility of noise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some sound cards allow the audio output to be used as an input so you can record from it directly.
