About me
I've made electronic music since I was about 12. I've been around instruments and music all my life because my dad's a church organist. I started out just writing midi files and gradually got into voice creation over the years. I like things that take me as far as possible from real life and I think that's reflected in my music. I've listened to post-tonal stuff since highschool and it's slowly taken over my music collection.Over time my music has gone from simple repetitive structures, to more tonally complex stuff, then finally to timbre based stuff with complex or sometimes completely random structuring.

Electronic Music other: Program advice

I just got a new computer and I'm making some of my best music, but I can't get it down to an mp3. The sound output is coming from a bunch of different softsynths. Is there a freeware program that can record what you hear?

I think under windows you can sometimes switch the soundcard input to record what is going through the output (I remember I did that once, can't remember how). Under macosx you can use jack or soundflower to redirect the output to an input, and record that from audacity or something.
your sequencer doesn't have an export feature?
what good is it then? bounce to wav. convert to mp3.
is that an option? please explain what pograms you are using, so maybe we can walk you through this you can use Silverspikes TapeIt! to record from your sequencer [although it should have a 'bounce' option.]
convert to mp3 using free tools like dBPowerAmp: link bad thing about dBPowerAmp is that it lets you convert to mp3 using the trial of the Powerpack, so after 30 days or so, you wont be able to do any more mp3 converting, (except mp3 to other formats such as wav)
I'm recording in Midi onto cakewalk pro 9, then routing the Midi output back around to the midi input in my computer. I assign the midi input to various soft synths, samplers, etc. So the final audio output is actually coming from five or six different programs. I'm only using the sequencer to record and send raw midi data, not to do anything with audio.
There's no option on my soundcard to record what you hear I've downloaded a bunch of programs that can do it but they're all demo versions, I don't want to pay for one I also tried routing my computer's audio out to the mike input, but it's mono thanks for the advice thus far There's something called Freecorder out there but I haven't tried it myself. link
