Record from sound card

Add the ability to record directly off of the sound card

Hi Cliff, you already can do that by selecting "Wave Out Mix" as the record input channel in the Record Control Window.

OK, I did that (its called "Stereo Mixer" on my PC). I found I have to turn the volume (record level) slider all the way down as far as it goes, and it still seems to be recording a bit too loud. When recording the meters are solidly in the red. Any ideas on how to correct that?

What version of WavePad you are using? I think you are using the old version, download version 1.10 from our website and try this:

~ Press F5 to Record. In Record Control Window, select Wave Out Mix in the second top drop down list. This will enable WavePad to record from your soundcard

~ You will see the record volume control on the right.

Hope this will help. If you still have problem, feel free to get back to me.

I have Version 1.10. In the Record Control Window I have these options: Windows Record Mixer, Stereo Mixer, Mic, Line In, CD Player, Video, and Aux.

If I set it to Stereo Mixer, then set the Record Volume to -30 dB its garbled sound. I have to reduce it all the way down to -36 dB, then its resonably clear but I still hear some distortion, like it wants to be even lower but I can't set it any lower. Also I noticed the waveform produced when set to -30 dB is mostly on the "minus" side when the +/- button is pushed, sometimes entirely minus. When I set the Record Volume to -36 dB, its more balanced +/- but still more minus than plus. Is it clipping the signal? Any suggestions on how to turn down the Record Volume more?
