Bug: Recording your stream

djdomain · 9th September 2003, 17:38

Whenever we try to record our show, it records too slow (or too fast, whichever one make sense.) When you play the recording back it plays much slower than it should. The stream is fine, but the recording is no good.

We have tried Soundforge, CoolEdit, and Total Recorder. It happens with all of them. These programs record properly NORMALLY, but when shoutcast is running, they all slow down.

I use winamp 2.81, and Shoutcast DSP 1.8.2.

The sound card seems to be fine and since it only happens when shoutcast is on, i am left to believe it is some sort of bug. The computer is also a pentium 3 with over 500 megs of ram, so that shouldn't be the problem.

Anyone heard of this happening, and know how this could be fixed? Maybe with winamp 3 (which i had major problems with before so i went back to winamp 2)?

thanks in advance.

If the station is streaming fine, then the problem appears to be on the archiving side.

Is your stream using a Winamp/DSP combo?
If so, is it using Winamp or soundcard input?
What is the bitrate, samplerate, and number of channels of your stream?

Have you tried any of the DSPs that can archive your stream?

yes, i am using winamp.dsp combo i believe. but we play on turntables, so its from the soundcard input.

we stream at 96kbps, 44100 stereo.

i have tried almopst everything i can think of.. for now i'm gonna try one of those DSPs that record your show for you.

thanks.
