I use cool edit pro, great piece of software

 

however I have never used it for recording streaming audio, only editing & mastering.

 

I would imagine it should be able to do it tho. But dont hold me to it :-)

I have never used it for recording streaming, but I would imagine you select source, hit record and let it run, until you run out of HD space.

Just off the top of my head you will need to set in the recording properties of your sound card your source to the output where your stream is coming from probably Wav or if from an exturnal source Line..

 

And you need to do the same in Cool edit... for I think its device options.. I dont have cool infront of me right now so not 100% sure if I have the names right...

 

But hope it helps

Hey John,

 

Try this,

 

In Cool Edit Pro select the options menu from the menu bar select 'Windows Recording Mixer' when this opens up select properties and make sure that the 'Stereo Mix' has a tick next to it. This should add another slider to the recording inputs in your windows mixer, just make sure that it's not got a tick underneath the slider because that would mute the input.

To check it's working go back to the options menu in Cool Edit and select 'Monitor Record Level' and use the windows mixer to set your recording level. then just hit record and select your recording quality options.

 

Hope that makes sense
