What software will capture my DAW full desktop 2560x1600?
 

This has been a great thread, folks... I thank you very much for the detective work/sharing... this has been on my list of todos for a long time!

Eeek! - No such 'funky' issues with VoiceMeeter - works well with X3 -Virtual ASIO.
 
There is an entry in Control Panel > Programs to uninstall (for me).
(Yes, - perhaps it'd be nicer to include an uninstaller script (?)).
 
Win8 - 64bit - VM Banana Virtual ASIO - Behringer Audio Interface / ASIO.
 
The one thing I have noticed when switching Drivers and back to VM. It'll set the Master Bus output to the 4th Virtual Channel. Simple to recheck the output to the 1st channel.
 
No BSODs.
The occasional engine dropout - probably more to do with me pushing memory limitations. There is a reset in VM. Then restart engine in Sonar.
VM also has configurable buffers etc - never had to use them - sub 10ms latency.

BTW Action did capture my 30" 2560x1600 display.

Think i'll leave the video tutorial to *ShellstaX guess he talk english / american way better than me.
( seriously i am really that bad XD. )

Yes there's an uninstall in the control panel / programs / uninstall a program

And if not go to : C:\Program Files (x86)\VB\Voicemeeter
then run the installer again of the chosen product, and you will be asked if you want to uninstall .

EDIT ( NOTICE ) :

I had the driver for the Virual cable installed along with VoiceMeeter.
Did a uninstall of the Virtual cable " driver " and restarted the system.
but it seemed to remove the VoiceMeeter driver to.. i could start the program
but there was no driver / output in windows sound.
to fix it, i just had to Install Voicemeeter again.

" You only need VoiceMeeter  " ..... no need for virtual cable etc.

Here's my attempt (HD bump it up) ... English ... but Kiwi, who lives in Oz, with a good stint in the UK, otherwise well travelled (and resultantly weathered)

NOTE: I recognise there's a few pop/cracks in the audio on the video. This is not typically an issue. For now I'll put it down to the resource load imposed by the recording software.

Bapu,
 
Why are you looking for ways to independently record audio while demoing something in Sonar? You have an RME, right? You can just use RME DigiCheck which comes with your device to record the audio using the global record selection.
 
Do your screen capture with any screen capture software you like. Then import the audio captured with Digicheck into Sonar and import the video you captured into Sonar. If the video software has ANY kind of audio capacity (you really don't care if it's any good) you can capture a clap or something to align the two audio recordings.
 
Ewe no @ DigiCheck, rite?

Try this link.
 
It's a super cool tool. You've got some reading to do. It has an awesome EBU meter, direct recording from the interface (that records all audio to a single file on your machine until you save it to separate files). Really, digicheck does so many cool things I just recommend you read the help file.
 
In this video you can see me using 3 instances of DigiCheck.

I'm also using another instance to record my voice for the video.
 
You might keep in mind if you're aiming for posting to youtube that you may find yourself with limited video durations. In some cases 15 minutes. I don't know if they limit or not b/c I don't normally attempt a video more than 10 mins.

Well, I use MS Expression which is old software that you can choose the audio input for (and the rme inputs show up). I don't think they still support or sell this software.
 
I can also select and record RME inputs with CamStudio. I can select Audio > Options and pick an input from the RME.
 
Alternatively, if you really can't capture audio with the video capture, you could sync up a mouse movement (like move the mouse to the lower right hand corner twice and tap the desk each time and sync the taps to the mouse movement.
 
For me, I always capture the audio on outputs 7+8 as the stereo pair for the recording. I also send the Sonar Mains to 5+6 (and also route to 7+8 so I can hear them using totalmix). Then, I set 5+6 for loopback and record 1 (my talking), 5+6 - full strength Sonar Output so you get real time fader movements and stuff the way they happen), and 7+8 (which has Sonar out mixed with my vocal as I heard it during the performance of the video recording).
 
When I'm done, I can input as separate tracks
- the stereo pair output from Sonar (5+6).
- My voice
- the mixture of my voice and Sonar (7+8)
- The stereo pair as captured by the video capture.
 
Now, DigiCheck + Sonar + Video Capture device all linking to your RME can get interesting, but in my experience DigiCheck always wins with the smooth recording. DigiCheck has never enabled some other audio program to mess up the DigiCheck recording. On the other hand, sometimes I get pops and clicks through the Microsoft Expression input.
 
See this video...

You can see me start talking - before I remember to start recording with digicheck. I notice at 40 secs that I'm not yet recording with digicheck and you hear pops and clicks for those first few secs then no more pops and clicks b/c digicheck is on.

Bapu, not that you would need this help (I'm guessing) but if you happen to be making a mobile recording with a laptop and want to capture the recording with digicheck, I think it can enable you to record more tracks at a higher sample-rate than Sonar could support with a given hardware limitation since Sonar writes them as distinct tracks as it goes. The drive load using digicheck seems very low - since it only writes one file. I'm only guessing, but I do usually use digicheck for capturing field recordings where I'm not having to use anything but the RME.
 
There's also an Ipad app, fyi.

Oh, and the last field recording I captured I used Linux UbuntuStudio and the RME in class compliant mode. It was not a very important field recording and I just wanted to try it out and see what I learned. The biggest lesson learned was to zoom out the Ardour track view so I can detect overages/clips. I was zoomed in too much and didn't notice an occasional clip on an input that came off an external pre. Since the RME hardlimits clips, the recording was still definitely usable, but that was what I learned.

Just did a test with Action on my lappy using a Cakewalk UA-1G interface (in WDM mode).
 
It captured the vid and audio without any effort.
 
I suspect that if I changed the mode in SONAR on the DAW to WDM the same would happen there.
 
I'm not sure whey these capture programs don't recognize ASIO for me.

I didn't mean to hammer on DigiCheck too hard.
 
I think I misunderstood some of the posts which seemed to be telling Bapu how he could record sound separately from the screen recording.
 
The nice part of using DigiCheck for me is that I can multi-track the presentation, capturing the Sonar output separately from my voice while at the same time hitting record in Sonar and capturing different things there if I want. It separates the audio for the video into different tracks that can be mixed after the fact so the voice over can be understood above the audio.
 
Also, I noticed that Bapu owns an RME so I thought I'd point it out before he bought something to serve the same purpose.
 
I agree that there are a number of screen capture tools that could do the job. I don't think the version of MS Expression I use is free. It comes with my MSDN license and I think it is like this product for $249 USD.

The screen captures that I make and post to youtube sound ok at higher speeds and work for video at 1080p.
 
Bapu, the video you posted above looked kinda low-res to me and didn't have sound. Not sure if it was due to my connection or not. The Video Export options from Sonar are kinda important.
 
I have my width set to 1920
Height 1040
Bitrate 4569000 bps
WMV3 WMVVideo9 Encoder MFT
Audio Codec WMAudio9 Encoder MFT
Audio Format 44.1 16bit 2 channels
 
And separately the audio mixdown option set to export at 16 bit as well.
 
 

All good, and similarly no allegiance with me and Voicemeeter - just an inexpensive and versatile solution that I've found useful.

Yeah, the full MS Expression Suite and conversion tools are/(were) paid - Screen Capture and basic encoding/conversion is free. (Interface/Quality incredibly slick for a free utility).
 
Looks like Mirillis Action would be a good bet ... regardless of the commentary solution employed.
