how to automatically start a computer recording

Audacity Help Forum macOS

I thought there was a way to have the recording automatically start once I start streaming the sound through my computer sound board.
In other words, I want to press “record” in audacity but not have it start recording until I get the sound started.

thanks

I saw that preference but didn’t understand how to use it.
