**Recording internally with Audacity** Anyone know a good way to do this? I tried looking at the website but when I use the technique they suggest it still sounds like its being recorded through my laptop mic or has some funky high pass on or something. If anyones experienced with doing this I would definitely appreciate the help. ---

If it’s OSX, use soundflower. ---

Are you doing this? > [@](#): > > Quick answer: use the appropriate “stereo mix” or similar input source on the Audacity Mixer Toolbar dropdown selector. Note: on Windows Vista and Windows 7, you must choose the appropriate Recording Device at Edit \> Preferences \> Audio I/O (or Edit \> Preferences \> Devices in the current Beta version). If you have problems, use the Windows Control Panel to enable and select the correct source or device - see especially the green panel “HELP ON RECORDING COMPUTER PLAYBACK OR STREAMING AUDIO” in that section. Also see this topic on the Audacity Forum.

Correct it is PC, and @photojojo I’ve been playing around with what the wiki told me to do i just can’t seem to get it right for some reason I’ve just been doing a “guess and check” playing around with the settings. The last time I tried to record I put it on the exact settings the wiki had and it still came out sounding shitty.
