Hi All,
I am new to the Audacity experience and I need advice.
How do I arrange to record, using the Line input on the iMac?
When I monitor audio from my company's site, I would like
to save a copy into an Audacity file (instead of the hollow
feed that is recorded via built-in microphone).
How do I do that?
Any suggestions?

Re: Accessing the Line Input
Macs will not do that without outside help.
My favorite way around this is WireTap. I have a license for WireTap Pro and it pretty much does everything I need and it connects to the scheduler for unattended recording. I think VersionTracker has older versions of the program.
A more difficult way around this without the scheduler is SoundFlower from Apple Downloads.
The reason this talent was apparently "left out" of Macs is a stability issue. Windows computers can do this very easily but most of the questions over on the Windows forum have to do with getting Windows to work right, not how to run Audacity.
