48 kHz sampling alertĪs many readers know, I am a 48 kHz evangelist and the creator of the 48 kHz Alliance. This article will show you how to do this with Skype and alternatively with the free version of Cleanfeed, for studio-quality for your remote guest. This is a tremendous handicap when the remote guest’s opinion of a soundbite is desired or required, but this problem is not Spreaker Studio’s fault! This article will demonstrate how to solve this problem completely by properly configuring a powerful middleware app for Mac, instead of the factory-recommended -yet weak and troublesome- Soundflower, which I avoid like the plague. Sadly, the factory-recommended configuration for Spreaker Studio doesn’t allow the remote guest to hear the virtual carts being played.
For Spreaker users who don’t yet own a RØDECaster Pro, the free Speaker Studio for desktop application is ideal for live broadcasting or live-to-drive, aka simulated live production. Anyway this is a very effective solution.Spreaker Studio for desktop (Mac/Windows) packs a lot of power, allowing multiple local mic inputs, virtual carts, ducking and even remote guests. Since Maximum makes HUGE files, and the audio I'm capturing is 192 kbps VBR MP3 at best, "high" seems to give me the same quality on playback as does "Maximum" (It's source limited, after all). Soundflower gives me two different "quality" settings in the pop-up next to the record button in Quicktime: "High" and "Maximum".
Hit the record button and you are off! It's simple, versatile and effective. Immediately the 'record meter' starts to modulate. All I have to do (in the one case) is open Safari, go to the WCRB web-site and click on the live Boston Symphony concert stream that I wish to capture, launch Quicktime, choose "New Audio Recording" from the 'File' menu that you show above, and in the pop-up that appears next to the record button, choose "Soundflower 2 CH". I couldn't get it to see the computer's internal audio stream without the Soundflower software, but with it, this works perfectly. Although I have soundflower, I don't think I had to use it for this. I did this with the Quicktime that was bundled with the operating system. It was some sort of Adobe Flash video embedded in Safari. I recorded the video (and audio) streaming of the Santa Clara Grateful Dead 50 concerts last summer just by using quicktime. Oh yes, and it is possible to capture only audio as you surmised, but again, it's capturable only from a microphone, either the computer's built-in mike or an external attached mike. While they talk someone through some operation while watching the demonstrator is actually doing what he he is describing. I suspect that this feature was designed so that folks could make on-the-fly instructional demos. The sound sources while doing this are the computer's built-in microphone or an attached microphone (analog or USB). Maybe Quicktime Pro (does Apple still offer that?) will do this, but when I tried to do a screen record while Safari played a streaming radio station (WCRB Boston), the audio was not recorded. (It might be possible to just capture audio directly too.) Then if you want just audio, you can extract it and discard the video portion.
