Audio Systems: Recording VOIP, nero wave editor, mael

Question
Hi Jerry

What is the best way to record VOIP phone calls? I have Nero Wave Editor and have tried recording. However, the speaker is a fair way from the microphone and I cannot hear the other person when I play back the recording. Would I have to place the speaker close to the microphone or is there another way where the recording can be done perhaps internally through the sound card. If so, would Nero Wave Editor enable me to do this or would I need something else?

Your help is appreciated,
Regards Richard.


Answer
Very good question, Richard.
This function can be done very easily through a voice app called Ventrilo. It has the ability to do this on the fly.

Since you may not be using that GREAT, free application, I would then suggest an application called Total Recorder (not free).
It will let you choose any of your cards' audio lines and can even save as MP3 (if you want) to reduce hdd space requirements for the sound files you wish to keep.
There is no sound that goes through your soundcard that TR cannot grab (and in many formats).

Either one will cure your VOIP capturing woes.
