RunForTheHills Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I'll probably attach a poll to this one too, if I think of something useful. And I realise that this might be in the wrong section, but if a mod wants to move it to the multimedia section once links start appearing, thats fine by me. Basically, I wanted to make this thread ask fellow coldplayers, who will attempting to record Violet Hill on Tuesday? Because if anyone is going to spread the song around after its premiere, its probably going to be us. I was planning to record it myself, until I realised I had left the necessary equipment at Uni, which always helps immensely. The only way I would now be able to record it, is through software which adds 2 seconds of a loud and annoying noise once every 60 seconds to the recording. Better than nothing? Sure. Annoying as hell? You bet. Although, I'll still be recording it this way anyway, in case its the best method we have. So if you don't mind me asking, will anyone be able to record the song / show without these restrictions that I'm experiencing? And if so, can you suggest any free software for us, to allow us record it without any annoying handicaps? I think that the more people that can have a shot at recording, the more likely it'll be to have a decent recording done by 12:30pm! We can make this work if we pull together! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Have you used Audacity before? http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/ That's what I'll be using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunForTheHills Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Have you used Audacity before? http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/ That's what I'll be using.I've used something similar (Adobe Audition CS3) but it doesn't allow recording straight from the soundcard. Does this work without the need of any wires? If so thanks! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yeah no wires required. Just one thing, would you be recording from a desktop computer or a laptop? Because the "What U Hear" option for recording on Audacity doesn't seem to be available on laptops for some reason - not mine anyway, apparently something to do with the way laptops are wired and the soundcards they use? (i'm not really sure!) If you're using a desktop it should be no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! :nice: I am on a laptop, but I have an external soundcard connected via USB, which makes it possible to record 'WAVE/MIDI'. So I recommend this to everyone who wants to record it! I havn't tried it, but apparently the "What U Hear" option is the best for those on desktops! Thanks again :smiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 It works?! Excellent lol, I've tried for ages to get that to work on my laptop but no luck so far. I even have an external soundcard for it too - I must be doing something wrong? Must try again... Anyway, glad that's working for you. It's great for ripping radio shows, and with BBC's listen again for 7 days it's handy if you hear something and you want to listen again and record it etc. Hope you get a decent recording of Violet Hill :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunForTheHills Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 I hope so to. I just need to get up early enough, haha! If you can't record it, no worries. I'll try put up a link as soon as possible afterwards :wink: 57 hours away! :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus_mosher Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 nice thread Semy. i can't record it, but i'm stupidly excited about hearing it on the radio on tuesday, then downloading a recorded version off here :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 yaaaay! i'm so glad people are going to be able to record it so we can have it to listen to until our vinyls show up! :dance: :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsarehardcorex Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I'm fairly adept with AudioHijack Pro, but I'm on the East Coast so it would be quite inconvenient for me to be up that early :D. Plus my efforts would most likely end up futile with all you kind folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 My guess is that when it will first be aired, it will be available for download, album quality, in every site like itunes and maybe even on coldplay.com well, this is what happened with speed of sound, I remember, I didn't have to liste to a radio rip.

cavenow Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 i was going to censor everything and wait for the actual album itself. because i didnt want to hear some shit radio rip or somat. but ive waved that becasue I JUST WANT TO HEAR THE NEW STUFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugo Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 i'll try to record it next monday the problem is that the radio station hasnt said exactly when they will play it, but at least they confirmed the will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus_mosher Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 in fairness right, you can listen back to all the shows from BBC radio 1 for the last week on the website. so it would be SO easy to go back and record it, when we know what time it was on.

Jayzo Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Dunno if it helps anyone but for windows users (not me sorry!) theres a free program called 'mp3mymp3' which records anything playing on your computer (it does it from the sound card), and you can save it as an mp3 file. Found it a bit slicker than audacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
