Help - sound recording feature

Subject: Help - sound recording feature
From: Gene

anyone know of a program/utility that allows viewing the

amplitude wave pattern while it is being recorded

to the Hard Drive from external sound source?

Goldwave and my built in sound program allows viewing it

AFTER it has been recorded....

am trying to avoid the repeated testing to see what the level

a particular selection on an LP or CAS or 8-Track is ...

thanks

Gene

I seem to remember that the old MS Win System Program 'Sound Recorder' known as 'SNDREC32.EXE' which was on early versions of Win9x worked like that - but it had some severe other limitations.

I use Sound Forge Studio 6. It displays recording levels with with two vertical colored bars. Works for me.

I'm not certain what Gene is getting at.

The display comes from reading the input, right? As it is reading (creating the digital form) it both re-translates it to viewable form (graphic), AND stores it on disc (records it).

Seems like it's going to be already starting to put onto the disc before it translates out to the graphic for display. ARe you wanting to put a DELAY into the recording portion?

I know if you want to see the input on the Goldwave, you can turn on the monitoring and not turn on the recording to allow you to preview something. It DOES require you to stop the tape/lp/cd-rom and start again before you start the record function.

Is that what you're objecting to? The starting over again? I can't see how you can avoid it.
