Thanks! I probably wouldn't have remembered anyway (I never have... 😢 )

Is this even boxing? Not when Pewskarov is the trainer...

And what, you want me to record it? Anyone actually interested?...

hiddensailor14 said:And if I record it? Who would even care?

Well, you definitely could, because this is going to be a massive UFC showdown.
I'd certainly be interested. 😬
I've been searching for recording software, but nothing I've found seems to capture audio from an online radio station.
Or maybe my sound card is just completely trashed.

You can actually configure a sound recorder to treat the output as the input instead of using a microphone, which lets you record whatever is playing through your speakers. I guess the only catch is that the standard Windows Sound Recorder has a one-minute limit.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot! 👍
I actually have a little trick for recording longer than a minute.
Just load a long song into the player and hit record.
I haven't done this in ages, so please excuse me if I missed anything.

Just drop a long track into the timeline, hit record, and you're good to go.
It’s an old method of mine, so my apologies if I missed anything earlier...

Personally, I just use a standard setup. I run the line out from my device straight into my sound card. I use Adobe Audition—since that's what I have on hand, though any software works—and just start recording. Since my sound card is basically just the cheap integrated kind and my cables aren't exactly high-end, there’s a bit of background hiss, but the audio comes through clearly enough. Once I'm done, I just export it as an MP3...

My setup can't even record with a microphone. Literally nothing.
The line-in is ancient; it doesn't even have an input.
I definitely need to upgrade my sound card. 😬
Right now, my only option is recording on my phone and converting it to an MP3, which actually sounds decent.

I tried using the built-in Sound Recorder, but no luck there either.

NOTE: whatever you do, stay far away from those cheap generic sound cards.

mistycrane14 said:My current setup can't even handle microphone input. Literally.
And since this rig is ancient, there isn't even an input jack.
I definitely need to upgrade my sound card ASAP. 😬
For now, I’m just recording everything on my phone and converting it to MP3, which is surprisingly listenable, if you don't mind the quality.

I tried using a standard sound recorder app, but no luck there either.

NOTE: whatever you do, stay far away from those cheap generic sound cards you find at big-box retailers.

If there isn't a dedicated audio input, there should at least be a headphone jack. You just need the right cable, and if your sound card has an integrated chip—which mine does, so yours probably should too—you'd usually see three ports, one of which serves as the audio in. It might just be a matter of adjusting your settings...

Oh, that could actually work! 👍
But I’ve decided I'm going to upgrade my sound card anyway; I need something that can handle recording via microphone.
It's for adding audio effects to some indie films I'm working on. 🤣

mistycrane14 said:Yeah, I guess that might actually work! 👍
But honestly, I’m still going to swap out my interface. I need one that lets me record directly through the mic...
mostly for adding some audio effects to my indie films. 🤣

So, we're talking low-budget American action flicks now?

hiddensailor14 said:So, like, some kind of DIY American action movie?

Haha, 😁not quite
yet. ☕

Good grief, what a mess... all this bickering and chaos... 🙄

I didn't hear anything particularly interesting tonight.

You could run this story on a prime-time news special and still not cover it all.
It’s a lot to unpack if you haven't been following along from day one.

I’m guessing I know who made that comment about how Americans can just dive in without any fear...

Look, I can tell you from experience: wearing a helmet in high-quality grappling doesn't actually protect you much from the impact.
Sure, it gives you a psychological boost, but it does the same for your opponent—now they feel safer taking bigger risks against you.
Plus, trying to take someone down becomes harder when they're wearing a helmet because your sense of distance and spatial awareness gets thrown off.
Pankration doesn't use helmets, but it comes with a million other restrictions... especially when it comes to striking.
