before (if) this stuff vanishes into copyright purgatory i'm grabbing the elton john concert the old-fashioned way: analog w/a twist.
· i ran a cable from my laptop's headphone jack to my hi-fi vcr's 2-track audio in.
· i popped in a blank video tape, set the channel to av and hit record.
· i started streamming.
that's it.
the vcr's frequency response is wider than the wolfgang stream and the noise floor lower so it captures wider dynamics too (hi-fi vcrs can have very good audio chains).
it's not the perfect solution but the recording will be nearly indistingishable from the stream so it'll work out fine for now (i tested it). the important thing is i'll have a good copy.
i’ve lived comfortable and well with analog for most of my life…
so i'm cool.
