Best thing I ever did regarding this was route the the optical output of my DVR to a laptop. Can grab the sound right away in full digital 5.1 DTS. Sometimes I just record it all to one big file and then skim through it later. More and more satellite/digital cable companies are trying to disable this feature with encrypted cables and data though.
was it easy to find good speeches without any ambiances noises behind ???

Sure, but I don't mind that. It's just more sound to be used imo. Filtering and gating/ducking can take care of most of that if you want. Like when the background music under a certain dB level goes down in volume when a louder DJ vocal comes in on the radio.

Its not that hard to find suitable voice samples at all. Ive been watching films/telly in *sample mode* for yonks now. Then jot it down on paper and come back to it later, I also tend to use audio books aswell, just for the clean aspect.

My Dell laptop has purposely deactivated the Stereo Mix option in the BIOS so that I can't rip directly using Audacity on whatever I'm watching/listening to.

Yeah big pressure from RIAA and MPAA type companies to do this in all new operating systems, computers and sound cards. There's workarounds though like this which creates a loopback http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
http://www.vsound.org (linux)
Also should be able to do it natively in linux using something like Audacity but it's a bit of a hassle.

^This is why I love Audacity (on PC.) Audition is my primary editor only because I've been using it since '96, when it was Cool Edit Pro, and I know the hotkeys inside & out; it has a great feature set but still can't touch Audacity for ease of recording audio throughput.

PS: I wish you mofos would stop blabbing about Archive. There's so much good stuff there I want to hoard it all myself! :6:

Some of the darkest quotes/speeches I've found aren't found in movies or television.
My favorite's are real speeches taken from old presidents, and very important individuals in history.
