i am trying to figure out how to get my webcam to record directly from Guiat Rig. Currently i have to manualy sync the audio and video.
i have the focusrite scarlet 2i2 audio interface. If possible i don't want to use a mic.
When i see the recording sources in webcam I see either the laptop mic or the line in from focusrite audio interface. I choose line in from focusrite. The guitar recording happens but the effects from guitar rig don't get recorded.


Please suggest.

The problem is that you actually want to record the output of the Focusrite not the input.

I think syncing is still probably the best way

I've been wondering about the same thing for a while. I have an M-Audio Fast Track. There must be a way to capture the output of the DAW into the video. Maybe Stereo Mix?

ok thanks,

i just bought the focusrite. my first audio interface. There is one difference i find compared to the normal computer and laptop soundcards. The sound i get by connecting my 2.1 speaker system to the line out of audio interface is much lower in volume and has much less bass compared to the laptop soundcard . Is this normal ? Is it because they are meant to be connected to studio monitors only ?

• Firstly, I'd try using a different cable/lead.
• Use headphones to see if it's the speakers.
• Look at the settings in the Focusrite driver (probably somewhere in Control Panel or the system tray). Maybe you could increase the buffer size, and see where it takes you.

Update -
the problem of bass from focusrite was fixed by changing the cables and Y connector
Thanks a lot TakePerry

Just wrote in your thread as well mate - the best solution is to record video and audio simultaneously through the web cam and Scarlet and mount them in a video editing software, in my opinion

The good news is the answer is simple.

1.)Windows Answer
*Run a cable from the headphone/line out of your recording interface, to the line in on your internal soundcard.
*use the free logitech cam utility to select your internal sound card for audio and cam for vid.

--Here is the link to the forum post where this came up previously and the response illustrates how to use the software.
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=48126&view=findpost&p=635829

The result should be perfectly synched vid with audio Providing your rig is brisk enough of course.


2.)Macintosh Answer
*Use the free quicktime utility built in to Mac OS which allows you to do the same thing as above.

That's all there is to it
