Direct Stream Recording
You can use Timer or VLA to record MP3, WMA, lossless Flac or WAV streams directly, no need to sample the sound into large WAV files and encode them lately.
In this case you save the sounds in MP3 or WMA format directly, conserving time and disk space (more then 5 times longer audio files with same size - this depends on encoding settings or half the files size and same quality with Flac).
Select a sound device and an input source. If BASS packet size gauge is above 0 you can start Recording. Recording will be ok if the gauge is at most at a constant value.
Fluctuations may result lost packets thus pops and clicks or even distorted sound (SB Live!'s official drivers will probably result distorted sound - try kX Project - WDM Audio Drivers for kX-Compatible sound cards).
Also adjust the volume level so that the VU is never lit Red!
It's a good idea to set sampling frequency to the maximal value (48 000Hz) and use Lame's resample function to reduce sampling rate in resulting file if needed.
Select Encoding Preset or use the Settings... to set the encoding parameters as you like.
Use Save As... to set output file.
Click Add... to add the recording channel to the StreamList for visualisation or for recording multiple slices quickly.
When recording selected DSP plugins will be applyed to the resulting file. You can achieve amazing effects with kX Project drivers.
(The kX Audio Driver is an independent WDM (Windows Driver Model) driver for all EMU10K1 and EMU10K2-based soundcards manufactured by Creative Technology Ltd. and/or E-mu Systems Inc., including the SoundBlaster Live! series, the E-mu Audio Production Studio (APS) card, and the Audigy / Audigy2 series of cards.)
With kX Project's DSP's you can configure everything that will happen between the MP3 Stream Editor's output audio and the recording channel. Set up the kX DSPs to output to the Record pin and what you play can be easely recorded to MP3 directly with tons of DSP options!
You can close the window and continue you work while recording.
Bug: On some systems if you encounter lock-ups turn off 32bit DSP processing in Settings when not recording to WAV.
