What is a stereo mix?

Stereo Mix is ​​the possibility of recording available on some audio cards that are used with Windows® operating systems. It allows you to record the output signal of the computer and captures, for example, system sounds, games sounds and so on.

This feature is disabled by default on most sound cards. The navigation to the controls should be accessible with the right mouse button on the volume icon located in the system magazine and clicking on the recording devices. The recording card window is where the stereo mix will be listed after the permit. If this window does not appear, right -click on the blank space and see the pop -up window to display the deactivated device and display disconnected devices . The stereo mix should appear if the sound card is equipped for it.

As soon as the stereo mix is ​​listed in the record card window, it can be highlighted, and then select as default by clicking the button below in the same window. Properties Button USTups a set of cards, one of which is an advanced card where you can set the recording quality as needed. Now that the stereo mixture is enabled and set as a default device, a record is used to perform actual work.

Audacity ™ is one popular freeware program that works well for this purpose. In the menu and preferences, highlight the device in the left navigation pane. Recording equipment is selected on the right; In this case, the stereo mix is available from the drop -down menu. The number of channels is selected under this; or 2 stereo . By emphasizing the quality in the navigation tree on the left, the sampling speeds can be configured. Stereo mix allows sampling up to DVD quality.

If Audacity ™ or other recording program does not detect a stereo mix, even if allowed, it may be necessary to select it as a LT default device within the control panel audio menuU. Once properly enabled and configured, the record software should be able to record your computer output using the stereo mix configuration kit. When you save a project in Audacity ™ by clicking on export, click to save in one of several MP3 formats to FLAC.

Stereo mix is ​​a practical tool for capturing any type of sound, but if the installed sound card lacks this feature, for example, third -party software such as FreeCorder ™ can be used to capture the streaming medium. However, because it works inside the browser, it is limited to capture the sound generated by the Internet. Other software types, such as a built -in recorder that comes with all Windows® operating systems, can be used to capture system sounds.
