Recording What you Hear

[johnsie]

I've just upgraded to Windows 7 and I'm now trying to set the configuration for recording what you hear (typically radio I've missed, using iPlayer)

I have a Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme card, and with Windows XP I could record using the Creative console. This is not supported in Win7, so have upgraded my Audacity to the 1.3 beta (which I use to record and tart up vinyl and cassette recordings). I can record using line in fine, but cannot seem to get the what you hear working.

The best I've managed is to get two feeds, separated by half a second or so by enabling the SB Auxilliary in Control Panel | Sound | Recording.

I'm sure I'm just a spit away, but can't figure the last step - anyone else got this working?

Thanks

As you already use Audacity, try the Audacity wiki on the subject here;

or alternatively, Freecorder mentioned here would do the job;

Although I do have Win 7, I always use Ubuntu Linux for doing this, it is really easy see here.

And, if you have Win 7 nothing stopping a dual boot of Win 7 and Ubuntu. I have this setup on my laptop. You could also try my new toy - a live USB stick of Ubuntu... apparently you can even save changes to the USB; but I haven't tried that yet (my stick was only 2gb - small by modern standards...)
