Author Topic: I've got mail, yay!!!! Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-14-2002 07:33 PM                        Internet radio does not take much space. But the majority of internet radio does not let you save the files they transmit, so you'd have to loop the speaker output back to the input (disabling playthrough as mentioned above). I think all Mac sound hardware is full duplex so it shouldn't be a problem. But if you record to AIFF even in mono you are looking at a HUGE file size. One solution is to record directly to MP3. The only program I know of that supports realtime encoding is AudioCatalyst. Not sure about iTunes. AudioCatalyst is discontinued. That being the case I could let you borrow my copy if need be. But if you set your bit rate correctly (assuming mono broadcast) 4 hours would take up about 40 megs. Check out the radio interview with Ian and Ky on the Rialto picture page. That's MP3, lasts nearly a half hour and is only 4.7 megs!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I've even considered using a VHS HI-FI deck as the recorder. I'd prefer keeping it on the MAC though out of sheer convienence. It is indeed a mono broadcast. 32K at that.

I would just do it internally through the sound card instead of patching or doing anything else too funky and its quick and easy with clean audio. On a PC I would use Sound Forge; again, routing the audio internally through the sound card. Thats quick and easy and dependable.  |  IP: Logged
