I delete the file immediately after mixes. Before doing this, I would have to rely on streaming services that I subscribe to, or I'd go out and purchase the track if I didn't already have it. I would never recommend ripping off music for keeps, only for reference purposes. This works great for client reference tracks. For those setting this up, I had to set it to WASAPI loopback mode and also set the device to "default" and not my actual hardware output, even though it was the same device used for windows.
#Audacity audio loopback windows 10
Glad I can do this natively in Windows 10 with reaper and WASAPI in loopback mode. So I guess really this is just more of a case of being curious. Or even just keep it open if something ends up repeatedly sample worthy. Switching apps when you're "in the flow" can be a little jarring.īut then, I suppose if I just wanna grab a quick sample while I'm watching or listening to something in my browser, it's really faster to just open up Audacity and grab the sample quick. I guess it's really not a huge deal or anything, it can just interrupt smooth workflow a bit.
Sure, I can easily do it in Audacity, but in some cases or situations, it'd be nice to just real quick sample something via my system audio directly into a Reaper project. I only ever get the two mono (or combined stereo) inputs of my audio interface. I'm not seeing a way to do this directly into Reaper, regardless which base audio system I chose in Preferences > Audio > Device >Audio System (WDM, WASAPI, DirectSound, Wave Out, ASIO). I can do this in Audacity quite easily, with Audacity set to be using WASAPI as the driver, and selecting "Focusrite USB (Focusrite USB Audio) (Looback)" as the audio source. So can Reaper be set up to record audio loopback? I honestly don't recall if loopback worked in Reaper with that. My previous on-board sound system was Realtek HD Audio if that matters. Reaper is up to date, with SWX extentions, as are my Focusrite drivers.
#Audacity audio loopback 64 Bit
To begin, I'm running Win 7 Pro 64 bit and a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4.
Sometimes a bit of dialog or sound just says to me, "sample worthy." So I like to sometimes record samples of dialog now and then, for later musical use, while watching documentaries or weird old movies or maybe videos on youtube, online live shortwave radio or webcasts, incredible online rants.
