so u have to have a mic to do this? cuz on another video it said u didnt have to

[ttimothyp16]

@UnHolyMan9117 um your computer should have a mic built in called stereo mix. its not really a mic i dont think, it just records what plays through your speakers

[Shadearrow12]

I don't understand.... are you suppose to use a microphone? I searched for this because I've had to put my microphone up to the speakers to get any audio and it doesn't come out very good.. but this isn't working at all I tried and it still just picks up what my microphone does. so i'm back where I started. I even tried it with my microphone unplugged (but theres a little one built into my computer so then it just recored what that one heard) Am i doing something wrong? please help D:

@Shadearrow12 look for stereo mix under where you can change microphones and speakers. That'll work

[ttimothyp16]

Well your computer has one built in. But the quality isn't great watch my YouTube download video that way is way better

@ttimothyp16 But I use headphones, I don't have a speaker in that sense, will it still work?

[audiethaman]

[UnHolyMan9117]
