Recording an Internet Stream
« on: September 19, 2014, 03:22:33 PM »
All, I want to record an audio stream of an upcoming (09/27) show on 'Concert Window' (www.concertwindow.com).  I have never attempted to capture audio from a web stream before.  Can anyone provide some suggestions or point me in the right direction?

I tried messing around with the following, but it sounds horrible!

http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_recording_audio_playing_on_the_computer.html

I suppose it should be noted that I am attempting this on either a Windows XP or Windows 7 machine.  Both Dell hardware, one a tower, the other a laptop.

Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Chris.

I use SoundTap from NCH.
I'm pretty sure you would have to purchase it, as I believe the free version is just for trying it out, and records some pings or something (i can't remember) or a message to purchase it.
But it works very nicely. Mess around with the free version and see if it fits the bill.

Wow!!  That works perfectly, thank you!

Just tested the free version and will be purchasing the full version. :)

Appreciate the help!

Perhaps too simplistic, but could you just run CD Wave (or another DAW with a recording function), and just record in the background while running the stream?

Yeah, easy.  CD Wave works great for this, and it's easy to monitor levels, too.

I don't use CD WAV, although it works fine.  I use Soundforge Pro 10.0 myself.  Should be no issues using the free Audacity, either.  Basically any audio editor will do this for you.

Thanks, I fooled around with Audacity, but couldn't get it to work correctly.  The sound was waaay off.  I'll play around with Sound Forge Pro as well, I have that installed too.

SoundTap seemed to work flawlessly when I tested it earlier.

Appreciate all the input. :)

No affiliation, but if you are purchasing NCH software - and there are other programs you might utilize - it pays to bundle.

I was also thinking about that! :)

I might run both, then compare the results after the fact. :)

Ive recorded tons of streams just from the headphone jack to an m10. As long as your computer has a good sound card it will sound just fine.

I'm not sure how "good" it is, but it's a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme.

I think I'm going to record headphone out > M10 line in on my tower and use SoundTap on my laptop, then I'll compare the results after.  It should be interesting.

I will definitely report back with my findings and samples, etc.

I record internet radio streams from time to time and Audacity has worked just fine.
Update- I just remembered that there's something you need to do with the pc sound card settings in order to get Audacity to record streams correctly. If you decide to give it another try PM me and I'll try and help you out.

Well, I recorded the stream with SoundTap and there was a lot of background/white noise in the recording.  I tried messing around with the Noise Removal feature in Audacity, but that didn't seem to fix it.  I didn't have time to run headphone > M10, so I had little to compare it with.  Oh well, live and learn.  I'll have to practice a little before the next show. :)

Thanks, again, for all the advice.

While I can't know what caused the noise, I should have mentioned that I think when using SoundTap it is important to have nothing else running on the computer before starting up the program.

Sorry it didn't work. I'm looking at checking out Len's recommendation just for kicks.

Total Recorder works great and records straight to FLAC.  CDWave should work fine as well.

I used the use Applian's Replay Media Catcher to capture complete (audio & video) Concert Window streams and noticed for the first time yesterday that it no longer grabs the URL.  I should have tried to sniff it out with URLSnooper.
