How To Record Your Video Game Sfx

[Laiderdaiv]

Here's how to record sound effects on your own:

1) Purchase a RCA to headphone jack converter (and possibly a double male 1/4")
2) Get a hold of the game/movie/whatever
3) Get some audio recording software ("Sound Recorder" is pathetic). Audacityis free
4) Plug the red and white (White is Left-or mono-speaker, Red is Right) RCA outputs from your source into the PC microphone input using the converter

Yay! I hope you kiddies can figure out the rest.

wow so bright, i never heard of this line-in recording technique before! jkjkjkj

i wish the xbox was a little more stereo friendly, i always have to mount the freaking stereo close to the TV because the cords arent long enough.

what are you recording?

i dont even have any working consoles, nothing good on tv to record.. but i do have my gamegear that i can sample

SEGA!

anyways the rca thing is fun when i want to use headphones, you know how people talk about subtle noises in all the big budget movies these days

This is the most obvious way to aquire sound effects from a game, why would anyone need to make a post about it?

and they made a thread about it, well perhaps posting a suggestion in the thread could do the trick.

I mean it's all well and good starting new threads for things, but all the threads fall into oblivion, then a short while later another person, in seek of game sounds, will start another one asking the same question.

It's never ending.

Hey who know's, maybe this thread could last, by people posting suggestions for other sites and sound aquisition suggestions.

though that may have been done before
