Recording Youtube Audio with Audacity in Windows 7

[nsub6]

saddly this did not work for me I was able to do everything till u selected the windows sound capture device in audasity as i did not have that option

[SrbCinema]

Finally,good explanation that works.Thanks

[utubenotsoku]

why are there 2 identical blue ribbons that goes across the screen on one recording? do they serve different purposes?

[sirmorphalot]

@utubenotsoku It's called stereo.  ;-)

[utubenotsoku]

thank you. your instruction was very helpful to me. btw, do you know how i can insert a new short recording into an existing recording?

[BlackShogun]

Pretty simple directions....No hidden stereo mix option when I right click though. What now?

[sirmorphalot]

@BlackShogun Do any hidden options appear? Or is is possible that your sound card already appears? It may be named something else.

[JOKBO1]

Thank u so much

[HstarHarlequinn]

Amazing! Helped so much! Just so I know if I want to record my voice on Audacity as well as sound, would I be able to do that? If so how? Will I need to experiment and be constantly changing it from Stereo Mix to Microphone?

[MrMalintent]

Very nice. Thumbs up!!

[SweetPuffyPenguins]

Oh, nevermind. I got it to work :)

[SweetPuffyPenguins]

I only have Microsoft Sound Mapper and Microsoft Realtek High Definition. Which do I pic or should I uninstall Audacity and get a different version?

[daleva187goligo]

that dont fuken work!! there's no hidden devices or "stereo mix" in my laptop!! and this laptop is brand new wtf

[TheXpunx79]

Thanks for this very helpful tutorial! It really solved the problem I had been wanting to find out of why I couldn't find the audio input device! It was killing me that I couldn't get to that next step!

[Gustavfriis5]

The Windows direct sound primary capture, wont show up in Audacity.. Please help!

[totorolove543]

STEREO MIX HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM MANY PCs FOR ITS THREAT TO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. iknow. it sucks.

[sinabrigo]

THANK YOU!

[Schoolandjimmy]

It's working thanks very much !

[Tblackburn89]

Crap video! Didnt work, now the moments past and didnt get the tunes i wanted.... rubbish!

[sirmorphalot]

@Tblackburn89 I am sorry that the video that I posted for your free use - a video which has led dozens of other people who have patience and can follow directions, to success - did not provide you with the immediate gratification you so desperately desire. Perhaps next time you should try masturbation

[Tblackburn89]

@sirmorphalot Cool, thanks for the tip. Should I try left handed or right handed masturbation? Perhaps you can give me some good instructions?? And I''ll try not to let the moment pass this time!

[yonatanyoni83]

@sirmorphalot LOL! 

[yonatanyoni83]

@sirmorphalot thanks very much i got it to work now :D

[Izakokomarixyz]

damn i have no "stereo mix" in Recording menu... Only have microphone.... ugh...

[Hijawathja]

OHHH MYYYY GOOOD! I have waited so long for this video!!! Thank you!

[TheHenryccrider]

device toolbar is clicked not showing up at top or anywhere so we cant capture doodly squat or audio. what to do?

[sirmorphalot]

@TheHenryccrider The toolbars can show up in different orders. Make sure it hasn't appeared below other toolbars rather than at the very top.

[AvayIrani]

Thank you so much

[BIGBOI911]

i love you

[headphones741]

my stereo device doesnt show up when i click on the show disabled devices what do i do now?

[sirmorphalot]

@headphones741 It might be called something else.

[sirmorphalot]

Youtube refuses to allow me to paste links into my response, so the best thing is to type "How do I download and install the LAME MP3 encoder?" into Google (the quotes will help) and follow the instructions on the Audacity help page.

[Jenatavivi16]

I looked in the view area and there is no device tool bar.

[sirmorphalot]

@Jenatavivi16 Did you click "toolbars"? Every version of Audacity that I have has it under View -> Toolbars

[gunboss201]

mine is still recording the mic

[sirmorphalot]

@gunboss201 First, check that you've enabled your soundcard as a recording device AND set it as the default (1:15 - 1:30 in video). Then, make sure that you have selected your soundcard output as your input in Audacity (2:12 - 2:35).

[gunboss201]

@sirmorphalot yea i figured it out, i have to restart my audacity(which i was running at that time when i was enabling stereomix) before it will work, thanks again

[ole661]

I am using RealTek HD Audio Manager. But I am not getting any levels on my recording. Everything else is working. Thoughts?

[Medelsvar]

THNX!!! Your @wesome

[OzzytheDjman]

Alright It works but I can hardly hear anything. Hint?

[sirmorphalot]

@OzzytheDjman Two things I can think of. One, make sure that the flash video you are playing is loud enough. Second, check the recording volume level within Audacity itself.

[Deathseeker214]

I had my doubts,but it works very well.Thank you.

[MrBjoey2010]

thanxxxx. It Really Works. This also works for WIndows Vista

[deathdemigod]

i dont get stero mix thing when i right click show hidden devices

[sirmorphalot]

@deathdemigod Are you using Windows 7 or another version of Windows?

[sirmorphalot]

@deathdemigod Are you using Windows 7 or another version of Windows? Do you have something called "Digital Audio"? It's not always called exactly the same thing.

[NikkiGraves21]

Hey, I don't get the install part. I clicked on the 1.3 Series (Beta) button and all I got was this page with, well, nothing about installing it. Help!

[sirmorphalot]

@NikkiGraves21 You need to make note of where you are saving the file when you download it. Locate the file and double-click on it to begin installation.

[Cammiesmember]

Thank you!! I've watched another tutorial and the person did not explain the other stuff you mention after setting stereo mix as default player.

[hello6624]

thank you so much your tutorial was simple and easy and you explained everything right subscribed :)

[shantanudas]

Best one on the topic I have seen.. others only give partial information most of the time.

[booyhakashah]

finally some one smart enough to put one up for window 7 thank you

[oSOLJA4CHRISTo]

mine still doesn't work. Weird. My cpu at work uses the old version and records anything that is playing...iTunes, etc. My laptop here at home with Windows 7 does not. I tried everything . This sucks....

[csamw65]

Thank you very much for this! Well done!

[iiRadiant]

Holy shit thanks man! It took me sooo long to figure this out until I watched this.

[lalunaus]

Thanks so much for putting out this video! I didn't think I would be able to use Audacity with this operating system...

[MarcCadieux]

I had to update my motherboard sound driver to get the mixer to show up in the list, but your tips were exactly what I needed. Thanks!

[Vip51031]

Thank you so much, sirmorphalot. I was having a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to get this software to work with Windows7. This was a great help!

Great video, I appreciate it!
