recording sounds

[mcprescot]

Hi. I want to record some sounds that are on my computer.
The only way I can think of doing it is by putting my microphone next to the speaker of my computer speakers. I was just wondering if there was any better way to record sound from your computer (like some software I can get that records the audio output or something)

any help is appreciated, thanks!

There is a line out on your sound card, plug a redorder into that and i think you can record that way

in doing some research i stumbled across this program called Total recorder, which works wonders.

if anyone has ever wanted to record like this, this program is amazing.

i think if you open your control panel in windows, you can select to record "what you hear" ... at lteast in XP with an audigy you can...
