Saving an "adjusted" cue

Post by KenWinter » Sun Apr 26, 2020 3:16 am

For our sound effects, I sometimes find a video on youtube.
I use "Clipgrab" to catpure the file as an MP4.
I play the video on my laptopn and send the audio side to my desktop using Microsoft's voice recorder.
Then I load the newly created MP3 file to SCS.
Once in SCS, I use the editor to remove the unwanted parts of the sound file.
What I would like to do is somehow create an MP3 of the "adjusted" sound file.

Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks,
Ken Winter

If you're prepared to spend a few dollars, you can use GoldWave to record the output from SCS. All you need to do in GoldWave is select the appropriate 'loopback' device as the recording device, and then start recording. The recording can then be saved as an MP3 file, or some other format.

From Your saved mp4, rip off the audio track using XMedia Recode and save it to wave format. Load it in Your favourite audio editor for adjustig start and end points, EQing or whatever. Then load into SCS.

In the same way as Goldwave, I use Audacity (freeware) to capture and record the audio from YouTube files. You can the edit the start and end points, save the wav and load into SCS.

I use Voicemeter Potato mixer which is a donationware. Then you can route what you hear on your computer directly into your favorite DAW. I use Reaper or Cubase. You can also record within the Potato mixer and other cool features.

I use an online YouTube converter service to convert to MP4 and then use VLC to grab the audio (open VLC, then from the menu select Media> Convert/Save), and then edit in Audacity or Adobe Audition, which are designed for audio file editing, rather than SCS which is not really intended for that use. Don't get me wrong, as Mike knows, I'm a long time user and supporter of SCS, but I like to use the right tools for the jobs I have to do.
