I could simply use an external recording device plugged into the speaker jack but I would prefer if to do it through RB if possible. Any advice on whether or not this is possible would be appreciated.

Any soundcard with 'srereo mix' or 'monitor mixer' available as an input should be able to accomplish it. Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

This is usually accessed by either right-clicking on the speaker icon, or sometimes double clicking on it. Once you have "What You Hear" set, the computer will record what is channeled to the speakers. Windows sound recorder will then do the job. There are also a number of free audio programs around that will work, too (if you want something dressier). Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

For instance, some built in soundcards call it, "Stereo Mix". Others may call it "Direct Monitoring". It is good to be able to do it this way, rather than running a physical audio cable from line out back to line input because it will stay in the digital domain when using the above method, but must pass through a needless iteration of D to A and then A to D to get back into the soundcard, which will create more noise and distortion than the direct digital recording. RealBand would be overkill for such a purpose, although it would indeed be capable. I recommend trying the free Audacity program for what you describe, it is likely to be a lot more simple to use and straightforward for you. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com

I'd like to set up this function for future reference. any advice where i might find some literature on it? andy Andy Macbook, 2.4 GHz, Lion OSX, 4mb RAM running Windows 7 through a Bootcamp partition, 750Gb 7,200 RPM hard drive, Ultra Pack fully installed on HD

Is there somewhere I can access that will tell me this? My OS is a Mac using XP service pack 3. any suggestions? andy Andy Macbook, 2.4 GHz, Lion OSX, 4mb RAM running Windows 7 through a Bootcamp partition, 750Gb 7,200 RPM hard drive, Ultra Pack fully installed on HD

That would be the only way I guess you'd be running XP on a Mac. If a Mac, then you will likely have to wait for someone whose using a Mac and Realband to come along to tell you the particulars involved. --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com
