How do I get audio samples from movies and other video?

I was wondering what programs and methods people are using to get their audio samples, be it from online or from DVD.

audacity is a good free program that can record your speaker output

3

as long as you have a soundcard with inputs, you can route the headphone jack in to that and record via audacity or similar or route through traktor.

If you have a mac, another option is to import a video clip into iMovie, then go to Share → Export using QuickTime, then change the Export setting to Sound to Wave. Boom! Audio clip achieved.

5

also if you have audition or similar, you can just export the audio track from an .avi

I use a program called “freecorder”. sits in your task bar in the browser works a charm :slight_smile:

I have a PC and an Audio 2 LOL. I’m not usually a fan of add ons and other junk occupying my browser space, but I tried the freecorder tool bar and it works great with firefox. I got some sweet samples from “Attack of the Killer Shrews” and “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes”. Good times.

I also like the option to record youtube videos as well. Great for referencing tutorials.

Thanks

I use DownloadHelper. Its a FF extension. Download and converts any audio or video on a site. It can convert to mp3, wav etc.

audacity works but i found better results with audio hijack pro.

Any time I want to strip audio from something, this is what I use. The free trial has I think a limit of like 20 mins or something like that, but that’s way more than I need anyway.

sometimes i use a dvd player or vhs and plug it into my soundcard…

And if you want the video also for any reason. On Safari alt+cmd+A. Opens up the Activity monitor. Once there you can see the tasks inside safari and pin point which one is still loading. (The video).

find or create a digital copy of the movie/tvshow then use a converter to rip the audiosource.

i really like this software Super (C), it’s like a media file converter swiss army knife - works a charm for this job.
