Does anyone use any software they can recommend to record what you hear live streaming music on their pc or music that's input from an external devise?

Hi Jacqui,on my older computer I had that very software,which I purchased from Creative,it was great for recording plus it had an inbuilt program for recording from cassette tape and old 45s that cleaned up all the old crackles,hiss etc

Hi Bigmike,
It seems that creative don't do that now for windows 7, so many people are complaining about it on the net, I emailed them and they said it won't function, it worked great with XP, I spoke to a chap in a music shop and he said Microsoft have changed everything on windows 7, to try and stop people recording what u hear for copyright purposes.
I did try Audacity before and never got it to work, there does not seem to be stereo mix in the sound console on the windows 7 pc I have, which is making it impossible to record anything.

there is a long long way around this problem but it involves doing recordings in real time,one from your line out or headphone socket to a cd recorder[remember them ??],then placing the recorded cd into your computer and downloading it into your music file,or ,if you don't have a cd recorder,record onto a minidisc then feed that recording back into your line in socket in real time ,very time consuming.I appreciate that the removal of the ''record what you hear ''was for copyright protection and the only way round your problem seems to be is to purchase an old XP computer/laptop.

I never realised you could do that, but I've tried it & it works really well.
Thanks, Frank

Not sure if it is what Jacqui was looking for.

Hi Jacqui, just use a mini stereo jack into a line in socket on the rear of your computer. the other end of the lead will depend on the line out socket on your mini disc player /recorder etc usually two rca phono plugs

The current issue of Webuser issue 359 3 - 16 december 2014 has a few pages of how to record most things off the web.

Yes I do read the posts, I did get it working but not great quality, I got a lot of hiss on the tracks, I does seem like it was so much easier with XP.

I can't understand why you're getting hiss, it's not like using a tape recorder. I tried it & got great results on Windows 7 & 8. I agree, though, that XP was much better.

Jacqui,It wasn't XP that gave you the option to record 'what you hear'. It was the sound card that your computer had in it. If you did not have a Creative sound card 'What You Hear' would not show up in your menu choices.
I am on an XP system right now and that choice does not show up because I don't have a creative sound card in it.
