Recording from Internet

[westla]

So I have a weird question.

I have a student who is performing in an online recital (since we can't do anything in person) and is using a piano accompaniment that is online. The problem is that it is a baroque sonata, so it is a large AB work, where that A and B sections do a literal repeat - so a nice 4 minute work, turns into a 8 minute piece. Also, no one ever takes the repeats.

The problem is the online accompaniment follows the repeats, and there is no way to tell it to skip the repeats.

So I was going to take the audio into DP, and splice out the repeats - but how?

Would it be best to get a 3.5" headphone to balances 1/4", and route the computer audio out of the computer, then back into my audio interface? Is there something obvious I'm not thinking of?

Thanks.

Can you just download it from the Internet and splice out the sections you need to splice out and then upload it back up?

There are many paths to choose from. QuickTime will let you make a new audio recording. There are commercial and freeware apps that do this very easily as well. I’d stay away from a wired approach if possible. Digital to digital is going to be much cleaner.

You can capture the audio in Chrome (Mac or Win) or Edge Chromium (Win10) with the Chrome Audio Capture extension and then trim things up in DP or whatever.

I use ClipGrab to get YT videos down. I use Fission to convert, but you can use any audio editor to convert. I use DP or DSPQuattro to edit.

As an aside, I use Audio Hijack (as an alternative to ClipGrab) and just record the output of my browser.

Whole bunches of ways.

The key to all is that the accompaniment is played from an audio file that you've prepared in advance, not the app.

As for DP, certainly but make sure have your audio set to 48 kHz sampling as many online AV apps, especially Zoom, cannot handle anything else. Interestingly, if I play the audio from iTunes/Apple Music through Share Screen/Audio Only, the sampling rate etc. doesn't matter at all.

If you are doing all this for live streaming, the audio file must be played on the computer hosting the event or the latency devil will bite you big time. Not an issue if pre-recording as you can sync audio and video after the fact, as I do 3–6 times a week.

Thanks all. The Google Audio Capture did the trick.
