Where is "stereo mix" for recording in the E-mu 1212m software?

Title says it all. I am trying to broadcast music over the net. Thanks.

What do you mean by "stereo mix"?

He means just that. The stereo mix that gets shoved out to the output of the soundcard.

To answer the question, I'm assuming you're using winamp and the official shoutcast plugin for it, with directsound as the output plugin. If not, please clarify. If you just want to be able to stream music out, select Winamp as your input source, not the soundcard. It just won't work otherwise. If you use a mic to broadcast with as well, this soundcard is probably not the best of choices, as it doesn't have a line or mic input in the sense that most sound cards do. Everything has to pass through PatchMix, and that can break things sometimes.

OIC, if he wants to use a mic or something he'll have to get a mic preamp to go before the soundcard's input, but it is very doable. Just create a 44.1 session that is has a WAVE L/R or ASIO 1/2 input strip (depending on what output plugin you're using) and a PCI Card in L or R (depending on which you have your mic hooked up to), then add a SEND under the Master Inserts to HOST WAVE L/R and set ShoutCast to EMU as the input. PatchMix DSP should mix everything together for you with almost no latency.

Hi, thanks for the replies. I am not using winamp with shoutcast, I am just using yahoo messanger. I usually can broadcast music online by simply playing a cd in my cd-rom or through the line-in in the back from an external cd player, then I hit recording properties, hit stereo mix, and adjust the level until it's putting out the right strength signal.

Thanks, I got it to work finally.
