Can someone tell me is it possible to play a dvd and record audio onto the hard drive at the same time or play a powerpoint presentation through a projector and record audio at the same time?
For example my local church use power point and sometimes DVD for music and hynm lyrics but they would also like to be able to record the entire service (audio) for those people that are absent but would like to hear the service later on CD
Obviously a powerful computer would be needed an 2 sound cards
Any one done this before

Re: Play and record at the same time
Absolutely. Wot you need is an AMD64 4200+, XP, Media Portal (much better than XP Media Center, and free) a couple of capture cards, etc. You can play a DVD or audio, record video or audio to HDD, type a letter and wash your clothes all at once and it won't raise a sweat.

hi i would like to ask: is it possible to record sound using your pc while earphones are plugged in and listen to whatever sound you are recording VIA the earphones simultaneously? i.e. recording and hearing through your earphones at the same time.

Yup
Not only is it possible, it's also the best way to do it. If you use speakers as your audio monitor, you'll cause echoing at best and feedback at worst.
It all depends on your sound package. If you've got the money to spend and you're serious about your sound editing, go with a high-end tool like ProTools or Adobe Audition.
A cheaper option (as in free) is Audacity. It's a lot less polished and can be hard to get used to, but the features offered are fairly comprehensive while the community is very helpful.
Once you get used to working with audio, you'll learn to monitor sound levels and recognise distortion visually. Yes, that's as geeky as the Matrix, but it's the most efficient way to do it!
The exception to all this is if you've got an old sound card that automatically mutes when audio is played. Hate to say it, but upgrading may be your best bet in these cases.

I can vouch for Audacity as a useful piece of freeware. It's certainly limited in scope when compared to the Pro Tools that I'm used to, but it gets the job done for simple cut-and-stitch and recording jobs.
And if you've got a really old sound card, consider an external USB sound card solution... a fair few of these have decent inputs and outputs and function flawlessly within a Windows environment.
