Afaik all that streams from internet uses apps that commonly use wave drivers. If so, and if you have an asio sequencer, you connect your wave source to the scope mixer for monitoring and to asio destination to record, lets say, in Cubase.

or, much more efficient, download the stream - but that depends on the stream type... if it's mp3 it's quite easy. downloading maintains the file format without any conversion...

Ok, here's the deal...I am using CW tripledat on my pulsar card. I would like to record streaming audio from an online radio station in the town where I used to live so I can listen at an later time.
So I open the link to stream the audio, that opens the default player, winamp. Which I assume would normally show up as a wav source in my routing window. Problem is, my default wave device is onboard sound card. OK, so I disable onboard sound and make Pulsar the default. Now, when I try to open the streaming audio source winamp sees no audio and gives the message that I need to enable onboard sound. It's a catch 22.

atOm: Download the stream? TO where ? How?
Sorry, Alfonso I don't know what a sequencer is...

mike

play the radio station via whatever player (real/Winamp/WMP) and make sure your Wave source is connected to the mixer and out of mixer to triple destination.

setup winamp to see the creamware card.

1 Winamp preferences go to plugins go to output highlight directsound output and click configure and select Creamware.

same thing if you see wave out

that should allow you to play winamp via creamware

another way to get any player to play via creamware without having to set each one up. is to go control panel/sound and audio devices properties (in control panel) and set Creamware under Audio

A sequencer is a program similar to tripledat that also records and plays MIDI data along with audio, that usually uses ASIO drivers (and modules) to be connected to Scope....in your case you use tripledat instead of a sequencer, there is no basical procedure difference except that you don't need ASIO for tripledat.

Winamp's nice, even can even output to disk, same for Foobar.

oldaudio, if it's mp3 i just "wget http://link.to/streamp.mp3". Depending on the streaming server, this varies, as some servers require referer url etc... wget allows you to include many of the server requirements. If you play it from IExplorer/Media Player, it often is downloaded to Temporary Internet files folder.
Much depends on the server, recording the .wav is always my last option.

ALI: Thank you. that config gives me input to Triple and I can monitor and see the waveform, so I know it is recording. Now, if I can get my triple source module working I will actually be able to playback. But at least for now I can capture.
Thanks

Thanks to all for your replies. I will get this worked out.

there is an easiest way of record internet streams without using the soundcard drivers.

You can use a download manager as download accellerator http://www.speedbit.com/

and enter the link of the stream as a new download.

The download accellerator will start the download of the stream.
the only thing you'll need to do is to stop the download manually and rename the temporary file created to .mp3 (in the case of an mp3 stream)

For streams that uses another kind of address than http (mms), you can use another software such as net transport http://www.net-xfer.com/default.htm
that is good for download of streams such as real audio.

set up two wave drivers in your project.one for the audio streaming and one for the audio recording seeing as in general a recording application will use the same play/rec driver.so basically you play on the main driver and you setup the second driver for audacity,soundforge,wavelab etc.for recording.There are alot of solutions.
