Recording Computer Audio

Anyone have recommendations on the best method to record audio currently playing on your computer? I'm using pulseaudio if that matters.

Re: Recording Computer Audio

Should be able to do it in audacity just using the line as the input.

Re: Recording Computer Audio

yeah I've tried audacity. Whatever option I use as input doesn't make a difference

Re: Recording Computer Audio

You need to use the sound card as input. 

You should check the pulseaudio article in the wiki. I remember something about audacity and pulseaudio. Either that audacity wasn't working or you had to do something to make it work with pulseaudio.

Re: Recording Computer Audio

the wiki basically says audacity dosen't support pulseaudio and you have to kill it before you use audacity. Any other programs that can do this and also supports pulseaudio?

Re: Recording Computer Audio

arecord in alsa-utils supports recording(i had to run it like: arecord -v -Dhw:0,0 -f cd test.wav). you might have to kill pulseaudio first though, i don't know
