I'm using BPM-Studio and I was just curious what I could use to record my mix. I prefer to record it as an MP3 if possible instead of a huge wave file...

Unfortunately there isn't much choice than to record to WAV.. typical 74 minute sets for a CD only take up 700megs or so.. after you record to WAV... just convert to MP3 and delete the WAV file after.. Also try out a program called AtomixMP3.. goto http://www.atomixmp3.com it is a cool program to use.. much easier to use than BPM studio.. check it out!..

I think BPM has more features. i like how you can show a list of tracks under each deck of the songs your going to play and after you play them, it mark it as done. a few other minor features too.

So should I just open up my windows recorder and just hit record...

Doesn't BPM Studio have a dump or record to WAV option?... if not.. go get yourself a good WAV recorder program.. Not Winblows recorder.. get like a real WAV editor or something like cooledit or soundforge.., caution! there is a good chance that the MP3's will use up a good portion of yer CPU resources.. this will in turn cause your WAV file to skip a lot because of the hard drive swapping and stuff.., if you want to make a good quick good sounding mix... grab AtomixMp3.. trust me.. it may lack the features of BPM studio.. but it only contains the neccessary tools...

You can try opening up windows recorder and hitting record, but that ain't gonna do no good. Recorders like this record from the input of your soundcard, so you need a way of linking the output of your soundcard to the input of your soundcard.

For this you have a couple of options.

First of all, a little utility called Virtual Audio cable. This acts like an extra soundcard, and what you do is link the output of your favourite mixing program to the In port of this instead of your soundcard. Then, in your recorder program, set it to record from the Out port of VAC instead of your soundcard. This creates a completely digital, stereo link between your MP3 program and your sound recorder. The only problem is, if you haven't got a fairly decent processor, the procesing of two MP3s at the same time plus creating this link is too much, and it skips and jerks erratically.

Your other option is pretty pants, but it does the job. You can probably only do this if you use Virtual Turntables, i'm not sure. If BPM studio will split the channels, so that the stuff for the speakers comes out of the right channel and the stuff for the phones comes out of the left, then you'll be OK. You need to split the channels up from the lineout of your soundcard, using a channel splitter. You can then connect the speakers or headphones to one of the ports, and stick the other end directly back into the linein of the soundcard. Remember to mute the linein from the windows volume control, or your speakers may explode from the feedback!

Well there's a couple of options, hope that helps!

Thanks for the input. sounds like too much trouble though. I have 256 RAM and a 900T bird so I think I'm ok on system resources.
