So I saw a post here a bit ago about recording mixes with a webcam, so i bought one myself. I’ve been having trouble trying to direct the sound from my controller. Bought a c920 and im using the logitech webcam software. Im pretty sure that im supposed to link the mic from the soundcard from my mc6000. But as you can see its not coming up as one of the options. any suggestions? I plan on just uploading my mixes to youtube, I tried doing it directly to youtube’s recording device but still no dice.
The MC6000 probably won’t show up in the settings if it’s already being used by Traktor. Actually, looking at the list it might not show up at all as it probably won’t pick up ASIO devices.
Makar’s suggestion will work. The only other thing to try would be to run a cable from the Rec Out on the MC6000 to the mic in port on your laptop, which would then be picked up in the Realtek High Definition Audio selection. You’ll probably have to change something in the audio settings of your laptop to change the mic in port to accept a line level source.
EDIT: What is the USB Audio device in the drop down list?? Have you tried selecting this and playing stuff through the MC6000 to see if it’s picked up??
If you don’t get any sound with this option, make sure that the output source switch on the back of the MC6000 is set to rec out/mic. If its set to CH1/3 it will only send out any audio that is playing through channels 1 & 3.
awesome ! looks like rob’s idea worked. got another question now lol
i know this sounds weird, but is there another mixer or adjustment i can do to fix the eq’s? its hard for me to describe but even when im playing a track with normal eq’s (all knobs 12 o’clock) im getting heavy bass when i play the recording
You should be able to go into the settings of the internal soundcard and change it to a line input. right click on the speaker icon in the bottom right corner, click recording devices, right click on the correct input and have a look through the settings. It may even just be a case of turning down the microphone boost (most are usually set with a default of +20).
The other option, if you’re not using channels 1 and 3, is to run the record out via an rca cable into either channel 1 or 3, put the output source back to 1/3, keep the volume fader of that channel down (use the gain knob to control volume) and then try selecting ‘USB Audio device’ on the webcam screen.
