Hey there,

I need to get from the soundcard output jack what I am playing with my guitar plugged into soundcard input jack.
I noticed that it can be done using a "loopback software", and I would like to know if anybody knows where I can get it for free...

Thank you in advance!
 
I've never heard of loopback software. Why do you need to do that? If you tell us what you are trying to accomplish we can probably give you a better suggestion.
 
Hey, buddy,

Loopback software allows you connect different applications between themselves. It's a software that emulates virtual sound cards: software catch sound at the soundcard input jack, records it to the disk, then reads it again and echoes to the soundcard output jack.
Well, whatever... let's see what I need.

I am using Cakewalk Guitar Studio and I've been recorded some tracks using FruityLoops. Now I need to overdub my guitar solo over that, but when I play I can see the program vu-meter indicating that it's being recorded (and, actually, if I playback it later it will be there!), but the problem is: I need to HEAR what I am playing in the exact moment that I am playing, or else I won't know if my track is ok.

Someone in the forum told me to assign output recording track signal to my soundcard device, but I think that's a limitation from my soundcard (Ensoniq PCI-16), because I can't do that.

About loopback software, there is one called "Virtual Audio Cable" but the demo version has a long latency (100 ms) and the definitive version is about US$ 35 (very expensive!). I would like to know if anybody has the cracked program or even another solution for my case.

Thank you!
