Title: is there any way for me to examine my recording in real time?
Post by: jeromejello on January 05, 2009, 12:54:32 PM
is it possible to use my desktop pc as the "external drive" on my 722 and record directly on to it with sound forge open?

that way i can examine the wav in real time

I have no idea if you can do what you're asking as I am not a 722 owner.   

As I have recorded in real time with soundforge (dat>spdif>u2a (usb)>SoundForge 7) I do know that the .wav being recorded cannot be viewed until the recording ends (hitting "stop" in soundforge).  Not sure if this is true for newer versions of soundforge though..

I hope this helps!

don't know of a way to watch and record, but a good set of phones will allow you to listen and record....

you could take a digital patch from the 722 into a pc/laptop and the record in soundforge or audacity to see the live wav form

Or even an analog patch line in to a crappy soundcard.  I presume this is to diagnose the funky waveform/mic/capsule/cable/722 issue, so pristine quality is less than important.

Is this in newer versions than SF 7.0?  Or is there a setting to view this way?  I experience the same as previously mentioned above.

In audacity I've done it through the crappy microphone on my laptop (macbook).  I was at Bell's Brew House in Kalamazoo for business and didn't have my rig.  Sitting & drinking post conference and the jamband Bump showed up.  Thought I'd test out the capability so opened Audacity and hit record and watched the wav, adjusted gain, etc.  Granted, it sounded shitty, but it was a fun test to run.

Now, how you'd do that with the 722 I'm not at all sure.  But you can watch your wav recording in audacity.
