Many thanks! I just tested that out with Andre Michelle’s Laboratory, and it worked! iNudge is down right now, but I hope it comes back up in time for the dare.

Well it obviously only works for windows. The Wave Mapper is a virtual driver, and that seems to cause less problems when you want to capture sound streams. Linux may or may not have an equivalent concept.

“Most wave editing software allows you to record direct from the combined output channel. Just make sure you use the “microsoft wave mapper” as your output device.”

I tried grepping for microsoft wave mapper, but there was nothing like that on my /dev folder. Advice?

Wouldn’t that create extreme feedback? I wouldn’t advise it.

Double jacks are pretty generic wires I think. that’s not only for music.
Caution : even if using the double jack is a easier method thant recording from micro, you’ll have to configure Audacity right to have a sweet sound (I used some tutorials on the Internet)

Hmmmm, connecting the microphone port directly to the sound box port, never thought about that! I will see if I can find an double jack… is it something that you can find on a generic electronics shop, or do you need a specialized audio shop to find that?

Thanks for the hint!

This software (Windows only) is as good as anything I’ve heard http://codeminion.com/blogs/maciek/2008/05/cgmusic-computers-create-music/

To answer your question, to record sound from inudge, you could use audacity and a double jack, you plug it in the microphone port and the audio port and Shazam! The sound would be better than using your microphone on soundboxes.

I discovered Aviary recently too and I thought : Wow! Ludum Dare!
I’m gonna check the other one.

Also : Andre Michelle has made some pretty music tools like this one : http://lab.andre-michelle.com/crash/ there is no “save” option, but you can record it from audacity.
