Equivalent of "Wave" Input setting in Audacity for Mac

Post by philsvoice » Tue Mar 01, 2011 12:24 am

WHen I had Audacity 1.2.6 on my Dell computer, there was an input setting for "Wave" that allowed me to record whatever was coming out of my computers speakers (without using a built in mic).

Is there any similar setting in Audacity 1.3.8 for the Mac? When I select the "Line In" input setting, I record nothing.

First, upgrade to 1.3.12 http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_mac

Second, Mac cannot natively record "what you hear". For that you'll need SoundFlower.
