Need to record audio internally, not through the microphone
I'm attempting to create a "Record Screen" Replay project but running into issues with audio. I want to record the audio from the source (my Storyline output) and not the external microphone built into my laptop. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for popping in to assist here Owen :)
Adam - hopefully this assists and this thread is the most comprehensive on the request to record internal audio and I almost referred you to the same one.

No problem Leslie; it has been a while since I poked my head in here.
I've noticed around the office that the headset issue was the biggest cause of frustration. My colleagues had no problem finding and activating stereo mix. However, they were unaware that using a headset would cause the condition were no audio would pass through the soundcard to be picked up and recorded.

I've got something similar. I have an old project with video in it but we don't have any sourcefiles. I'd love to just record the screen and get the audio directly from the output to the speakers, not pick it up via a microphone placed near the speakers... Can we do this?

Dave and Jeff,
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but you might just have to look at it laterally....
If it's a sound (of any sort) that lives on your computer, then there is an audio file for it somewhere. You don't have to "record" anything. Just locate that sound file and bring it into your project.
Hope that helps,
Bob

I've edited a music file with a program but when I go to the original I have to redo everything so I need a way to record it because the program only has the original I also want to upload it to youtube but I'd be uploading the original version of the son

Hi Bob,
I'm actually recording a storyline project and want to capture the audio from the video, but not from the microphone built-in to my laptop. I want to record the audio the plays in the video but not pick up that audio playing through my computer speakers. Does that make sense?

I am in the same situation--I don't have the original file. I need to be able to record the original file from audio that comes from the computer, not using the microphone. Help!
Thanks Bob for helping out here!

Sounds good Steve, I'll play with that. The thing is though that we do not just want audio, we want to record something on the screen that has audio embedded. EG a course for which I don't have a sourcefile but does contain audio and perhaps even some video. Tricky right? I should have thought about it during the beta...

Jeff,
I'm sorry but I'm still not sure what you are asking about... If you are using a screen capture tool like the one you mentioned, it records the audio along with the video right? So you would have both.
If you wanted the audio WITHOUT the video, again simply extract it as I mentioned a few posts above; either from the source file(s) or from the newly captured stream (which is now a recorded video file with audio track).
If you want to MIX various audio and video tracks, don't do that in real time. Instead do the screen capture, then go back in with a an editor (audio or video depending on need) and create the mix you want.
