i did everything up until step 4 but the drop down menu under the skip to the end button doesnt show anything up its just a dead menu with nothing in it, how do i get it so the menu has options and i can enable stereo mixer, after i figure that out i can do the rest ov it, thanx

@theherbal420 try the last link in the video description. thanks for watching.

any idea how to do this on a mac? It was all the same up until step 4. I have a drop-down menu on the mixer toolbar but all it says is "Default Input Source" and offers no other options.

@SpeedLimitZero Sorry man I'm not too familiar with macs, but thanks for watching.

can you put the song you just fixed from audacity into your ipod if yes .... how ?????

[peeeanuts]

yea once you've exported the song as an mp3 file you can put it in your ipod just like any other song.

For those of you who are having issues with the drop down option and stereo mix... If you can't find it on the audacity program itself then go into your computer settings- volume speaker setting and just select from there. That's how I did it... If you guys are still lost then just google how to record sounds from computer and a bunch of YouTube videos should show up

[zaucyboy]

You can use this too for youtube videos, you can import .flv/.mp4 into audacity, there you can change the export into mp3 (after you installed the LAME encoder said in this video), easy peasy

[sonroberthan]

can you do this on a comp that has speakers instaled in it because i tried recording a song this way and it didn't work?

[3whitedanny]

when i go into audacity, the drop down box doesnt drop down. its blank and wont go down. reason for that?

[AlGoreOver9000]

figured this out a while ago dont really use it but it certainly is good tho thumbs up

[RockersofUltraviolet]

[RockersofUltraviolet]
