vantheman Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Is there anyway to directly record youtube sound recordings without having to put it first on MD and then go to the computer? Is there a way to just go from youtube to Sonic Stage. It takes me too much time to have to record to minidisc and then go to sonic stage and then burn a CD. If anyone knows of an easier way I would appreciate the hlep.Merry Christmas to all,vanj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Use the audio recorder software of your choice to capture from the soundcard. No need to use an external device. You may need to adjust your soundcard settings accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenmachine Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 You can use Audacity for recording. In Audacity, set the output slider to maximum, the input slider to minimum and choose stereo mix as the source to record from.In the lower left corner, choose the sample rate - 44100 is the default and suitable if you want to burn it to an audio CD. In the preferences, set the amount of channels. Youtube is 1ch (mono) only as far as I know, but if you are going to burn it to an audio CD, you could as well use two channels, which would avoid later conversion. In the quality tab, choose 16bit.If you want to save it in data mode on a CD you could as well record in Youtube's native format, which is one channel, 22050 Hz as far as I know.Set the Youtube volume slider to maximum. Start recording by clicking Audacity's red record button. Start the video. When finished, use the yellow stop button to stop the recording. Audacity is also an editor and you might want to edit the file before exporting (cutting, etc.), but I won't get into details here. There's a manual included.Once you're done, choose export from the file menu - WAV format if you want to burn an audio CD or any other format if it's going to be a data CD.Fire up the CD burning software of your choice, import the file(s) and burn.

vantheman Posted December 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hey I appreciate the help. Downloaded Audicity and it worked. The only problem I have is that while recording the sound has a bad echo to it. Don't know how to fix that. Any suggestions as always will be appreciated.vanj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stereo mix setting , means any sound coming into your soundcard gets mixed , including the mic . If your on a Mac I can give you a better way to get You tube ,.... It is a Mac secret though heheheheheh! Edited December 26, 2007 by Guitarfxr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 The way to turn them off is to either click on the little speaker icon (Volume Control) in the taskbar or to go into Settings/Control Panel/Sound and Audio Devices and un-check any input you don't need: Midi, speakers, whatever.

vantheman Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Still not working correctly. There is not a stereo mix on my copy of audacity. I've tried all the suggestions and still get the echo effect.????vanj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) Maybe your sound card has a function called 3D Depth (which is common for AC'97 cards). Disable it (check the Mute box). To do this you may need to enable the respective slider in Volume Control. Edited December 28, 2007 by Avrin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vantheman Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Got it to work. It was playing the track as I recorded it and was also recording the playback. Had to go into audacity preferences and change that. Thanks to all here for you help.vanj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to all here for you help.vanjyou can also use a site like keepvid to download the youtube video to your computer and rip the sound from the video using something like "super ©". That way you get to keep the video also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekdroid Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 My preferred method of downloading YouTube (and other) vids is:Mozilla Firefox http://www.mozilla.com..combined with:Video DownloadHelperhttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006(toolbar button animates when finding media, click little black down arrow on toolbar to save)Fast Video Downloadhttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3590...is another good one, making it really dead easy.Downloading the vid first isolates you from possible bandwidth problems, after which you can do with it what you like.I play the resulting FLV videos with:http://www.martijndevisser.com/blog/flv-player/It makes sense to close down the page from streaming while you are downloading it in any one of these add-ons.
