You just made a song in LBP2 and would like to use it in something or place it on a mp3 player? It is possible! Here's how to do it step by step. You will need: A TV with RCA composite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_video) video input. Female-female RCA adapters. This consist of two sockets to plug RCA wires (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_connector) in from both ends. They can be wires or a block of plastick with holes. You will need two for stereo sound. A RCA/3.5mm TRS plug (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_connector). The name is scary, but it's a wire with one TRS plug at an end (just like those used on earphones, though the rubber part might be bigger) and two RCA plugs on the other end. Make sure both the TV and PS3 are off. Connect the PS3 to the TV using the RCA cable which comes with the PS3. Only connect the yellow wire. Plug the red and white ones in two female-female adapters. Connect the RCA/TRS adapter in the computer in the microphone input and to the female-female adapters. If you usually play on the PS3 with HDMI output (or any non-composite output), you will need to power the PS3 in a unique way. Press and hold the power button. Pressing will make a beep, then holding for around 5 seconds will make it beep again. Then you can release it. This will reset the video settings so the PS3 will now output from RCA, no setting needed. Just remember you will have to power the PS3 the same way when switching back to HDMI. If you always used composite, no problem, just start normally. Now there won't be sound on the TV. Go in the computer's control panel. You should find, at least for Windows Xp and Vista, the microphone options under Sound. Go in the recording section. There should be a microphone input. Make sure the "show disabled material" is active. If there's more than one, perhaps you have other microphones plugged or installed, or have a built-in microphone. Enable them and test them : if it makes green waves on the meter, it means it hears sounds. Just start music on the PS3 to test. Once you found the right one, open its settings and set the amplifying to + 0 db. This is a numeric volume boost. It makes the sound louder, but bad quality, just like numeric zoom on cameras. Also set the volume to a low value so you can see the sound waves without having them reaching the maximum volume. Download a audio recording an modifying program, such as Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/). You will need to tweak audacity to record from the microphone you just set. Start LBP2 and go make an empty level. Place down a music track, make sure you aren't in pause mode and that the music isn't set to loop. Then start recording in audacity and start the music. You won't hear it, but you can stop recording and play the recording on the PC to get the quality. Remember to lower the volume first and to play with very low microphone volume settings to get the best quality, high volume input will make white noise. Then you can edit the tracks in audacity and export it as wave or mp3 (you will need to download the "lame" plugin for this). Good luck. I uploaded a mp3 example (http://data0.lo.gs/jacqueb/perso/popcorn.mp3)so you can hear the quality you get. Remember to set the level volume so that you don't hear sound effects and background noise, and not to open-close any menu while recording. But move the Sackboy, you don't want the controller to turn off. Better disconnect from internet too to prevent friends requests.

Offtopic, but not by a lot: here is a youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/LittleBigAudio) that features a whole lot of sequencer tracks from known and lesser known LBP creators.

If you usually play on the PS3 with HDMI output (or any non-composite output), you will need to power the PS3 in a unique way. Press and hold the power button. Pressing will make a beep, then holding for around 5 seconds will make it beep again. Then you can release it. This will reset the video settings so the PS3 will now output from RCA, no setting needed. Just remember you will have to power the PS3 the same way when switching back to HDMI. If you always used composite, no problem, just start normally. Now there won't be sound on the TV. Alternatively, you can start as normal and then manually change your sound settings: Settings > Sound Settings > Audio Output Settings You'll want to choose the one labeled Audio Input Connector / SCART / AV MULTI. Now your video will be displayed as it ever was, but sound will be directed out the composite cables mentioned above. This way you don't have to faff with rebooting the PS3 in a special way, and it can be changed back by exiting the game. This of course means that both types of connections will be plugged into the PS3 at once. I generally have HDMI and Component plugged in together, since I need Component for tutorial recording, but HDMI looks nicer in general.

Oh, I didn't know we could output from both using the audio options! That's great! I still need a video capture device to make tutorials and more, but at least for now I'm happy I got audio. I'm going to use the music built with LBP2 in a video game I'm making on computer for a school project.

That exacly how i used it to record :> to add, tweak background volume to 0 to have complete silence when song taking break + use Toggle to trigger song to make sure it starts from beginning specially if you got PC in other room. Also check if you got Optical Digital In input in your sound card (some more expensive motherboards got them build-in), then you can invest some more for optical cable and get best quality possible
