I play in a band, and I record audio tracks from youtube to use when I practice at home, to learn the tunes. In Windows I used Sound Recorder. It would record whatever audio I could hear on the headphones, then save it as a wav file. I didn't have to tell it a source or anything , it just recorded any sound I could hear.
In Linux I can't figure out how to do this. I have Audacity, and I've tried to use the pulse audio controls, but no matter what I do Audacity records nothing, just silence. There is a long list of sources with names that don't mean much to me, even though I know what mic and line are. There is no record level in Audacity. The pulse audio thing gives me a horrible feedback loop if I select the wrong source in there. It only plays sound normally if I leave it set on built in audio. But Audacity still records silence, it has no input audio to record.
What am I missing? Or should I simply be using wavosaur instead?
