Music™: Recording/Sampling

RECORDING (OLD)

Old versions of Duckstation have built-in audio recording functionality it can be found inside:

("Debug" -> "Dump Audio")

While the process might not sound appealing, it's absolutely best way to record PS1 audio - this way you can easily obtain CLEAN mixdown.wav total recording of whatever music/sfx/noise you're performing, keeping you safe from any PC interference like notifications, audio players and even emu-lag!

(Low-spec musicians will appreciate that a lot - no more risky Audacity recording!)

Step 1

make sure You're

USING Duckstation

Step 2

Step 2

.

Enable "DEBUG MENU" in settings

go to "Settings"->"Advanced Settings"

then tick "Show Debug Menu"!

New "Debug" button should appear:

Inside there's our recording button!

It's possible to start/stop recordings inside

Settings-> Audio Settings

but that involves more menu digging and is way less convenient than the way we do here!

Audio settings wise,

you're free to tweak "Backend" part - it affects the sound tiny bit, but generally it's best to keep it as latency-free as possible for your own comfortable music making

Step 3

Start Dumping the audio!

Audio recording STARTS when "Dump Audio" is ticked:

It will be recording as long as you got it switched-on!

to FINISH recording, follow same steps like above!

All recordings can be found in Duckstation's personalized directory (DuckStation\dump\audio).

This folder is easily accessible through

("Tools" -> "Open Data Directory...")
