recording from Mic and computer at same time

[goofydg1]

I do a podcast with a buddy in another state. I use the gizmo project. it has direct record functionality and is free to another gizmo caller, like skype. I use audacity after to convert the wav file to a mp3. Works good.

I would like to know how to configure my computer to record sound from the computer at the same time so we could use funny clips from a flash soundboard in the live recording (not adding it in after). Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.

I think adding a mixer is your best option in this case.

thanks for the reply. I'm new to working with sound so could you give me some details. My soundcard came with some mixer software. is this what you are refering to? If not, could you give me a link to show me. If so, it lists 7 sources. wave, midi, cd, line-in, aux, microphone and S/PDIF in. wave, midi, cd can all be selected but it will only allow one of the other four. I've tried all four but can't seem to get it to work in audacity (it picks up a very low level of sound that I think is the mic on my headseat picking up the sound from the headset). what am I doing wrong or am I way off base.

thanks again for the reply.

No, I meant a hardware mixer, such as the [/URL][URL="http://www.behringer.com/1002FX/"]Behringer Xenyx 1002FX (http://www.behringer.com/UB802/), or similar. You can search this forum for more advice on hardware mixers. Software mixers are another possibility, but I'm told they are a bit harder to set up and use. A hardware device is just easier to understand and use and doesn't use any screen real estate.

Skip the low quality Behringers and get a small Yamaha mixer if your budget is tight.

I just use MP3 recorder Studio (http://mymusictools.com/recorders_23/mp3_recorder_studio_26492.htm) it captures every sound from computer or input devices

You should try audacity. It is free and very powerful.
