Hi,
Are there any applications that record audio and convert it directly to mp3 (oggvorbis, ... whatever) before writing it to disk? Greets JV -------------------- The Artist Formerly Known As AxL

Spark XL 2.6 (which has just been released) can, haven't tried it yet, only just ordered the upgrade.
Audion 3 (I think) |

I thought it was obvious:
To record notices or musical ideas or even my singing lessons in a decent qualitiy without consuming tons of disk space. I've searched for it and found some Win apps that seem to be able to do this but nothing OS X. The processors today should be able to do this. I'm gonna try Audion though I can't see this ability explicitly mentioned on their feature list. SparkXL is expensive!:sad: Thanks anyway JV -------------------- The Artist Formerly Known As AxL

Information from audion's website:
Recording Save your net radio or sound input to disk! .........You can even record live audio input. There is a free 15 day demo at: http://www.panic.com/audion/download.html |

There is also N2MP3 by Proteron software (i don't remember ther url, it's a shareware) which has been carbonized for OS X. You can easily record your live stereo input, or any audio file, to mp3, ogg/vorbis, aiif or wav. Of course, you can tweak the bitrate, mono/stereo, etc.
The major drawback under os 9 is that you CAN'T do anything else on the mac when live recording/encoding, or you'll get skipped sequences!!! I personaly didn't check the OS X release yet, which is probably better concerning multi-tasking. Bye. |

I just recorded my vocal lessson with my ibook's internal mic and audion to mp3 to my ice cube firewire hd. Quality is nice, at least good enough for the purpose. Unfortunately, Audion crashed upon hitting the stop (record) button. Only 36 of the 52 Minutes were saved to disk.
 I'll try the Proteron software and post my results. JV -------------------- The Artist Formerly Known As AxL

Hi, I guess you're gonna like N2MP3. I have a friend who's using it for interviews (around 30 minutes) and he never crashed the computer with it... This software records your source directly into MP3 and you won't have anything to do to save your file to the disk
 So I suggest you to use this cause it seems to fit perfectly for what you have to do.Have a nice day! Thix
