    There is a rare piece of music I want to record off the screen, but I don't know how.

    I have Camtasia, and while that does indeed record the screen, when I want to save the file, it removes the audio! (it didn't seem to do this before? Strange.).

    What do I do?
    I am extremely serious.

    Nevermind. I realized that Audacity did the trick.

    "Audacity did the trick", I said four years ago, but now I have no recollection of how I did it. Anyone?

  5. You press the record button. Stop when done. Then save.

    Yeah, I tried that. Didn't work.

  7. Okay, let's assume you accidentally made changes or some program messed things up.

    If you're using Windows, just hit the Windows button on the lower left corner on the toolbar. Type Sound, click on Sound (alternatively, should that not come up, click on Control Panel and locate the sound option).

    Play the music you want to record and check the Playback and Recording tabs to see where the sound is coming from. If you see one playing but it looks muted, un-mate it. Also, mute the microphone -- it can cause background hiss that gets recorded by Audacity since it records off the sound card.


    You didn't delete or move the folder where Audacity stores it's recorded sound files, did you?


    Also, have you experience a hack of virus that might have screwed up Audacity? Maybe you just need to delete and re-install.

    This is the bit that always trips me up - having to check what's being recorded by the program. Usually, when I fire up a program that records sound off the PC - I tend to use mp3 DirectCut - it usually records the computer's microphone and I have to go into the audio settings and change things until the program records from the sound card rather than from the microphone.
