Rip Live Audio Using Audacity

Here’s another quick tip for tonight.

If you fancied grabbing the audio off something you come across online or maybe capturing the audio from a video without mucking around with conversion software then this might interest you.

There’s a great tool called Audacity which is a pretty nifty audio editor with the built in ability to tap into your audio device output as an input device.

All you need to do is select your sound device from the drop down menu next to the microphone picture in Audacity to select that as the input device for Audacity. You’ll also want to choose that audio device as the output device in the drop down menu next to the speaker picture.

From there, simply click the record button in Audacity and then start playing your video or other content and you’re cooking with gas.
