My cousin is hosting an online radio station late at night. I want to record this to show my family. Using audacity I can't seem to selct the right output so it will record, It has my mic, MS sound mapper, and Line in. Tutorials say I need stereo mix??? What do I do?

Make sure your microphone isnt muted in your audio mixer (the windows mixer).

But don't I want it muted so it wont pick up any sound?

Oh whoops, thought you wanted to record your own show. My bad.

No...Having you're own show might be fun though.

I think that the recent versions of audacity have changed actually. I tried to do this on my own, and didnt have the stereo mix option either.

I got a sound card that was supposed to come with audacity, but it didn't come with jack. I checked all the pertinent site and nada. Where did you guys get yours?

Is it a MP3/AAC stream, sort of like something off of a shoutcast server? If so, use Streamripper (it's open source, though some of it's GUIs are not) to capture it.:whistler:

As for in audacity, you are looking for a audio loopback if you want to capture "what you hear". I don't have anything running Linux at the moment to tell you how to do it, but in Windows you basically have to own a Creative card to do it (and it looks like you may not be able to do it in Windows Vista/7 either).

if you are running windows, windows has a habit of disabling the stereo mix device by default.

you need to go into the control panel and look for sound/recording devices. I cant remember how to do it exactly, but i remember needing to right click and enabling the showing of disabled devices, then enabling the stereo mix "device".

Then you need to select it in audacity. Also a good idea to set it to record in stereo ;)
