Streaming audio

Post by jbdrums09 » Sun Aug 28, 2011 11:56 pm

I have version 1.3 of audacity and my my OS is windows 7. I have downloaded the lame encoder. When I record songs that are already on my computer it does fine, but when I try to record streaming audio such as You Tube it won't record the song. What am I doing wrong?

You need to select "stereo mix" (name can be different in some systems) as the recording device. Not all computers running Windows 7 or Visa have that option available...

Have a look at this wiki topic: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Recor ... e_computer
Include as much details as you can in your post (Audacity version, Operating System, Equipment used, etc).
Please post your question in the appropriate forum (regarding audacity version and operating system).

Or this tutorial from the manual (hopefully it's a bit more readable then the Wiki article :) ): http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Tuto ... e_computer
