Hi Gene,
Thank you so much. When I set it to a virtual device, it records everything
I hear from my computer, but nothing picked up by the built in mike. When I set
it to both, that is when Virtual recorder records everything I hear from the
computer, and everything picked up by the built in mike as well. Setting it to
sound card just records what is picked up by my built in mike, and that is all.
The built in mike must not be a virtual device while everything you hear must
be. This is really interesting.
Thanks Gene.
Your sound card has different settings such as
line-in and microphone. If you set the sound card to a source, that is
what you would be recording with it. If you set it to microphone, you
would only record the microphone. Your sound card may not have a line-in
setting. Many laptops don't have line in jacks and you need to use another
sound card, such as a USB external sound card to get a line-in jack.
Virtual device doesn't use your sound card. Windows
7 and higher has something that can do what I described using the virtual device
setting. I don't have the technical knowledge to discuss it further to any
extent. The point is that it will record anything you hear through your
sound card but your sound card is not what is being recorded from. I
should add that I don't know if you can record things your sound card isn't set
to play. But the point is that when you use virtual device as the setting,
you can directly record your screen-reader. The microphone doesn't have to
be used. You can record an Internet stream. You can record music and
you speking using a microphone at the same time. I haven't played with it
enough to go into detail about how you might turn off the internal microphone so
that you would only record your screen-reader and, for example, and Internet
stream. Others who have used this feature or the same feature in another
program may be able to provide much more information.
I'm not sure where using the both setting would be an
advantage.
I haven't used virtual device and other options in the
program enough to discuss how to get desired results as to what sources are
recorded. Perhaps all sources are recorded when using virtual device and
you can't change them. In that case, if you want to record an internet
stream, and not record the internal microphone, you might have to stop the
microphone from functioning by plugging a plug into the microphone jack with
nothing connected to it. But I'm speculating and just providing an example
of how you might get around the problem. It is not necessarily the only or
best way.
Also, XP users should know that the virtual device method
can't be used in that version of Windows. The program can be used to
record from the sound card but XP doesn't support the virtual device method of
recording.

Hi Gene,
Please explain this further. I had no idea about all of this. Could you
please explain all three options and when you use which one. I keep it on both,
because it records JAWS and my voice through a built in mike so I can do
tutorials. When do you use the first and third choice. Also, what is the
difference between a virtual device and your sound card. Could you give some
examples of virtual devices, and why is the program called, virtual recorder?
What you said makes this program more important than I thought. Thanks a lot. I
like to learn, so I will enjoy what you have to say.
You keep saying the choice is between your sound
card and your voice. When you record your voice, you are recording using
the microphone input of your sound card. The real advantages of this
program are that it allows you to record from both a virtual device and a sound
card simultaneously so you can mix things in more ways. You can also
record from just a virtual device. the virtual device ability allows you
to record things such as Internet Streams even if your sound card doesn't
support the What You Hear or Stereo Mix option. This option has other
names as well. If your sound card supports it, you can record anything
your sound card plays. It has become increasingly difficult to find sound
cards that support StereoMix in later versions of Windows. Virtual Device
gives you another way to do the same thing and may save you a good deal of
fooling around and may save you the need to purchahse another sound card.
In other words, when you record from your soundcard, you can record whatever sources your sound card supports. If you set your sound card to line in, you can record line-in. If you set your sound card recording source to Microphone, you can record using your Microphone etc. When using the virtual device setting, you can
record as though your sound card supports stereo mix. But you are not
recording using your sound card.
If this is difficult to understand, I'll attempt to
explain it further but more people might be interested in the program and might
realize more ways in which it can be used if they understand this
distinction.
But one example is that if you want to record an
Internet stream and your sound card doesn't support stereo Mix, you can use the
virtual device setting to record the stream as it plays. But if you do,
you can't do things such as use a screen-reader. The screen-reader will be
recorded as well.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Virtual Recorder I have the link for the virtual recorder, that I will put below. It will work on your Windows PC. A good friend, gave me this web site done by a guy named Carlos nazario. The site, when brought up, just says files, and there are a number of programs you can download from this site. Press H for heading until you hear virtual recorder installer, or the next heading says virtual recorder portable. I pressed enter on the virtual recorder installer and installed it to my computer. After you install it, tab to settings and set up a shortcut command for pause and some other tasks you will want virtual recorder to do. It is very accessible. You will tab to a record button and just press it to record. Now, there is a list that you must pick a recording choice from. You can record what comes from the sound card, both the sound card and your voice, , or just your voice. The top choice is the first one and so on. Here is the link, and let me know if you have any questions. Here is the link. http://opopanax.net/download/ Take care.

Here's a few of the links I discovered: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ix.com.android.VirtualRecorder&hl=en http://virtual-recorder.soft112.com/ One appears to be for Android phones, and the other one appears to be some kind of stand-alone device, but I think some of us is looking for one for PC's if such a software exists. Then when I did a search for "Virtual Audio Recorder," I got this link: http://www.virtualaudiorecorder.com/ So my question is this: Is it called Virtual Recorder, Virtual Audio Recorder, or something else? Please be specific, because even when one word of the software name is off, a person will get the wrong information! Thank you. aloha, Jolene.
