Audacity is a simple, but powerful, free audio recording and editing program for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can download it for free, here: www.audacityte...
Bruh, I was shocked at first by the like ratio. I mean, "An online tutorial that's actually helpful? NO WAY!" And boom, it works no problem! Many thanks, you legend!
Thank you! I just watched another tutorial having me use the Windows Stereo mix and it resulted in an awful echo effect. Your video was much more applicable.
Excellent - thank you TJ Free. I was going to use an external recorder, to get the sound onto an SD, to then download it onto the PC - this has saved so much time.
Thank you so much for your help. I have been trying to figure out how to switch it to the PC audio for so long. You saved me another eight more months.
did everything as you said, but it gives me a "error opening sound device" error, changing the rate does not fix it either. (using sound blaster gc7 sound card)
Try changing your audio channel from mono to stereo (the button in between recording and playback), if that doesn't work, keep trying to change it to a higher number.
@@2apur I just changed to stereo, but now it just doesn't record, even tho I pressed the record button. On the left side of the screen there is a little red arrow pointing downwards, but in the video it's green. I kinda suspect that.
my problem is audacity records system sounds when i only need it to record fr the mic. i already chose the microphone option but it still records the system sounds i hope i get help. thanks!
omg thank you, my Audacity went wonky when it was fine for yrs .....and I tried all sorts of settings, it was a nightmare....now I think you did the trick phew!
thank you for this tutorial, may I ask you one more question. so how do we get the same volume of a song . we have to set that up too or it's automatic get the same sound we hear? Thank you
Thank you for your video. I am having an issue. I have Windows and I don't see a Speakers/Headphones option under any "host" option. What seems to be an issue?
When I use this, the sound quality of the recorded audio is a bit lower than what it was recording. It sounds like it was recorded from an external device, so I'd say it's about as good as such. Unless there are some other settings that improve the sound quality that I don't know about.
very nice explained.Hats off!!Related with this topic:-how to make set up of recording Using Audio Interface a karaoke song with music played through computer displayed on a screen connected through HDMI cable and simultaneously record the same back with background music and vocal in audacity without display of audacity on screen?Kindly guide step by step .
I got everything working but what I wanted to do was add the music track to my Movie Studio video project. Doesn't look like it's compatible. Thank you.
I have a Vista with this programme on because this programme won't work on my Windows 10. I wish to record from my Windows 10 read outloud and send it into this programme on my visa to make my own audio book. How can I connect my 10 to play the sound out and pull it into this programme?
Hi, When a song is playing the green volume bars are moving as they should but the purple graphical readouts are barely adjusting, they're a thin 1/8 of an inch thick line that correspond to the dynamics of the song but are no way visually broad as in your video. Is there a setting I'm missing? Tx!
is there any way to record computer audio, like through speakers and only microphone recording? or it just one way to record mic and play through speaker?
I'm trying to do something similar, and I sadly only have less than an hour to figure it out. I need to record BOTH system audio AND mic audio, as I am recording an interview via Discord calling. I need help!!!!
Aaaaand it doesn't work on my PC. It says "Error code: -9996 invalid device" which make no sense since I'm using it. I tried pretty much every combination at this point and nothing works, not sure why.
Idk y it’s not working for me. I just used CZcams for an a cappella and it didn’t show that it was recording anything. Was I supposed to wear headphones or something
I can't believe it, a tutorial that ACTUALLY explains how to properly figure this out.
I'm stunned.
Thanks!
And does not take 20 minutes as well.
YES I LOVE THIS IT DESERVES AN OSCAR A GRAMMY AND A NOBLE PRIZE
Make sure to use Stereo or Mono. I was using Mono but Switched to Stereo and it worked.
WERD*
Yes sir. I've been trying all day, now it works again. I don't know what happened, it must have been some update or malware that turned it off.
Be sure that the Transport Option for Software Playthrough is unchecked or you'll get feedback.
THANK YOU!!!!
Excellent advice for high pitched sound when recording PC sound with Audacity! Uncheck Enable audible input monitoring in Audacity 3.5.1.
Bruh, I was shocked at first by the like ratio. I mean, "An online tutorial that's actually helpful? NO WAY!" And boom, it works no problem! Many thanks, you legend!
You may have an echoe chamber happening in your search engines.
Great video, thanks for sharing this. Side note, you can select the host from the main screen in Audacity, you don't need to go into the settings.
You sir are a freaking genius and need a freaking raise!!!!! I've been racking my poor brain trying to record with headphones!! Bless you! Lol...
Many thanks for this TJ. I knew how to do this ages ago but haven't used audacity in years. Was so relieved to find exactly what I needed.
Works like a charm for newer Windows, like older tutorials didn't because you had to have "Sterio Mix" for it to work.

Couldn't get this to work on a school computer for a project but this helped me get it working again. Thanks
A few years back I watched quite a few tutorials about Audacity. Not one of them dealt with this feature. This opens up so many possibilites. Thanks.
Great job, accurate and concise! Many people don't know how to transmit or explain, definitely you know how to do it! Thanks
THANK YOU SO MUCH! You're the first person i could find that properly explains how to get this done, TYSM!!!
ATTENTION: If you watch from 0:26 - 1:49 then you'll know exactly what to do. The rest is fluff! Thank you creater. I appreciate the video.
i cant choose "Speakers / Headphones (Realtek Audio) (loopback)" Its not showing in that drop down menu.
Thank you! I just watched another tutorial having me use the Windows Stereo mix and it resulted in an awful echo effect. Your video was much more applicable.
Great tutorial, I had seen 4-5 other videos before this but none of them really explained this correctly, great job!
I struggled with correct Audio Settings until I see your video. Thank you very much!
Maaaaaaaan you are the Ultimate Best,..on my first search for this issue i came to your video and now my recording works perfectly woohooooooooooooo
Thanks, I have being trying to work this out for two hours now, and this worked.
Thank you so much it worked for me.You guys have to basically choose the device which has (loop back) written along with the device’s name.
thank you so much, now I can play one of the best songs known to mankind in my summer car
Thanks, this helped me! Go to 1:08 to start the instructions straight away
Hearing CONTRA gamse sond in such an unexpected way brightened my day.
I watched this video for 2 minutes and already got it working thank you!
I just can't describe how perfect this tutorial was for me! Thank you so much, from your new subscriber!
Holy shit, this was so simple, so quick, no bullshit, straight to the point. Thank you so much
I finally got it to work thanks! before I got the correct host, but didn't get the right microphone, so this tutorial help a lot.
Excellent - thank you TJ Free. I was going to use an external recorder, to get the sound onto an SD, to then download it onto the PC - this has saved so much time.

That is the Contra song!! Man, you're the best. And also as a bonus, the video was exactly what I was looking for! 💯💯💯
i did every thing and i just got a error saying error code -9996 Invalid device.
ikr
Try changing your audio channel from mono to stereo (the button in between recording and playback), if that doesn't work, keep trying to change it to a higher number.
@@2apur God bless you brother, i changed it to 8 and it worked. thank you so much!
@Atticus Zapur same here i was having the same problem
@@2apur I just changed to stereo, but now it just doesn't record, even tho I pressed the record button. On the left side of the screen there is a little red arrow pointing downwards, but in the video it's green. I kinda suspect that.
Thanx for your work. I need your help, how can I record both audio input (microphone) AND output sound (speakers) at the same time? Thank You!
Brilliant. Thank you for saving me from banging my head against the wall.
No wasted time! Thank you!
Wow great tutorial! Thanks, you save my time!
Btw is there any chance to record both our input mic & output from speaker/headphone at the same time?
Nawaz Sharif love you too. You save my day for paying subscription to other screen recorder sir.
Brilliant and nicely presented, no over the top hype.
Thanks for the tutorial. Still valid in 2022.
Yeah no one else had a windows version, so this helped out a ton.
Just to say about this option that you need to record in stereo mode 2 channels. If one channel is selected error appears
BIG THANK YOU! I was losing my hopes to solve this issue! THANK YOU!
Is there a way to route computer's audio through Audacity EQ-- Windows 10 ( my laptop audio is BASS HVY)
This is the one true tutorial that really works for me. THANKS !!!
I just downloaded Audacity and changed the settings like you said but the cursor just sits there. It doesn't move/record
This is the best tutorial. Right to the point and effective. Thanks for the upload.
I learn something new everyday. Thank you!
my problem is audacity records system sounds when i only need it to record fr the mic. i already chose the microphone option but it still records the system sounds i hope i get help. thanks!
Sheesh. Almost gave up - this was my last try until I said forget it. BUT IT WORKED! Thank you my friend.
Thank you! As an addition: I'm getting an error 9996 if I try this while recording mono. But it works fine in stereo.
Thank you!!
That was the issue, thanks! :)
Is there a way to record both microphone and speakers simultaneously?
upp
I stream music online so ty now I can record a whole show ahead of time
Thank you for this tutorial, I am now able to record the whole series of our online class.
omg thank you, my Audacity went wonky when it was fine for yrs .....and I tried all sorts of settings, it was a nightmare....now I think you did the trick phew!
It says "Error code: -9996 Invalid device" When I pick "(Realtek(R) Audio) (Loopback)" option. Could you maybe know the cause for that?
Excellent! Why would mine be recording not only my laptop but also everything in the room?
Thank you sir that was quick, straightforward and solved my problem right away. Have a nice day.
Thank you my good man! Now I don't have to jump through hoops to get youtube to mp3 files! :D
JUst download 4k video downloader, paste the link, and press extract audio
Dude look up CZcams-DL or CZcams-DLG, you can download video/audio from a lot of sites like youtube.
If you want music, use soulseek.
thank you, people like you provide a real service for people.
thank you for this tutorial, may I ask you one more question. so how do we get the same volume of a song . we have to set that up too or it's automatic get the same sound we hear? Thank you
is it possible to record both the audio from a mic and the computer at the same time in audacity
.
This helps so much even after 3 years, thank you!
Thank you for your video. I am having an issue. I have Windows and I don't see a Speakers/Headphones option under any "host" option. What seems to be an issue?
Is the sound quality as good or better than recording from an external source like from an iPhone or iPad?
When I use this, the sound quality of the recorded audio is a bit lower than what it was recording. It sounds like it was recorded from an external device, so I'd say it's about as good as such. Unless there are some other settings that improve the sound quality that I don't know about.
Thank you SO much for this! I lost this capability and could never find the correct combination to get it restored!!
Is there a version of this video that is not 4 years old?
Great tutorial!! Managed to make it work!!!
One thing, is the second audio from Probotector from NES or is it Contra from SNES??
Nice sample hahahah
very nice explained.Hats off!!Related with this topic:-how to make set up of recording Using Audio Interface a karaoke song with music played through computer displayed on a screen connected through HDMI cable and simultaneously record the same back with background music and vocal in audacity without display of audacity on screen?Kindly guide step by step .
This is helpful. Will it work with messenger calls? Including both parties? Thank you
How can i control the volume of the audio when i am recording? Its too loud and i even lowerd the recording volume but it still remains the same
@Rak Pillae same here!
Thanks - as others have said, I followed the explanation and it worked. Appreciate it.
You are the man.
I wish you could create a video on understanding Bitcoins
I got everything working but what I wanted to do was add the music track to my Movie Studio video project. Doesn't look like it's compatible. Thank you.
I tried to subscribe, but found out that I did it a year ago, awesome thank you so much
Thank you for this short and easy solution. Can Shotcut do the same function 'record from computer audio' like Audacity ?
Hi, I'm a bit new to Audacity and this didn't work. Can you help me?
I have a Vista with this programme on because this programme won't work on my Windows 10. I wish to record from my Windows 10 read outloud and send it into this programme on my visa to make my own audio book. How can I connect my 10 to play the sound out and pull it into this programme?
Love this channel because it is straightforward advice on software like this! Thank you!
The most useful video on earth.
one thing to note.... for me it worked only in 2 channel track..... it wont work on mono channell track..
I was already done by the time you got to the part. Somehow that's either good timing or bad thinking. Maybe I'm reversing the roles here.
Is there a way to record your own voice AND your computer audio at the same time?
Nice Tutorial lad. Thumbs up.
This is exactly what I needed
Hi, When a song is playing the green volume bars are moving as they should but the purple graphical readouts are barely adjusting, they're a thin 1/8 of an inch thick line that correspond to the dynamics of the song but are no way visually broad as in your video. Is there a setting I'm missing? Tx!
Very good vid I tried for a long time to do this. Got it done in 5 minutes with your help thank you for a great vid
Thank you, that was pretty straight forward.
is there any way to record computer audio, like through speakers and only microphone recording? or it just one way to record mic and play through speaker?
Hi! Can I record both internal speaker audio and microphone a the same time?
thanks!! Concise, precise. GREAT ADVICE and simple.
Nice instructions, but you don't have to go to the Edit > Properties for that. Just use Edit bar options. Just my 2 cents. )
This is not working for me. When I choose the WASAPI, i get an error. When I change it to windows primary driver, it will record, but sounds terrible
It works, but it also always has a weird loud echo and reverb. Do you know anyway I could fix that??
Thanks a bunch! This little tutorial really helped! Very straightforward, just like how it should be!^^
Why isn't the volume saved in Audacity at the same volume as the thing you're recording???
I want to ask... how can I record both my microphone sound and the device sound at the same time
Thank you!
And now I want to play Contra
this was EXACTLY what I was looking for ! Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank You !
