Help, walk through

Post by TinPan » Tue Aug 17, 2010 12:41 pm

Hi, Im new to this so I need someone to help me through this. I want to record a streaming radio show from on line. I tried a test twice but nothing plays back.

I am using windows7.

I log on to the radio station web site and click the "listen now" tab. Then I bring up the audacity program. I was told that there is a drop down menu on the mixer tool bar, and to choose "wave out" as the input source. I do not find this tool bar.

So Tried just pressing record but I dont get anything. Can anyone help? Any instructional video?
Thanks!
TinPan

It's difficult/impossible to give exact steps due to differences from one machine to another due to differences in the sound card hardware and sound card drivers. However, there is an article here that goes through the various settings that you need - the hard part is setting up the sound card correctly, so you need to search carefully through the settings that are available on your machine when following this guide: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer ... trol_Panel
