I want to record the avid audio announcement webinar.
Here’s the issue. It’s at 2 am and although I’m keen to watch, I’m not into watching at 2, so I set about googling how to record it on my pc.
Seems vlc player which I already had , does this and I was quickly able to record whatever was happening on screen fine, but there’s no audio.
Can anyone tell me how to configure vlc player to grab the audio too?At the moment, I’m having to run vlc for pictures and pro tools separately for the audio record, and will have to sync them up for playback in the morning.
Bizarre bearing in mind my job, that its the audio I can’t get, yet.
Any thoughts

HI Ty
Its not until Monday 8th.
Im resigned to recording the pictures and audio separately (which works fine) and syncing them both up later to watch it.

Assuming your are talking about PC. If you are talking about Mac, then maybe someone else has a suggestion.
Check out TotalRecorder from https://www.highcriteria.com/
IMHO, it is a very good product at a killer price. (18 USD for the audio-only product, and similar low prices for the video versions)The thing you may be missing is a way to configure the audio input on your computer to connect to the “stereo mix” which is what you normally hear from the computer’s audio output.
Some audio drivers have a built-in option to select “stereo mix” (or some similar designation) as the recording source. But if your computer doesn’t have that option (which most of them don’t seem to, IME), there are 3rd party “drivers” which “insert” themselves into the data path and make that data stream available as a selectable recording input on the computer.

If you’re on a Mac you can use a tool such as Soundflower ( https://cycling74.com/soundflower-landing-page/ ) to route the audio from your browser into VLC for recording.
Easier yet and if you don’t mind spending a few bucks, is to get iShowU (HD) from shinywhitebox.com. It’s a screen-recording app I’ve been using for years to create machinima and record screencasts as well as tutorials for students and interns (as well as overseas tech support for family members …)
I was thinking of doing the same since I can’t be bothered to get up at, what’s for me, 3am. Especially since I’m sure I’ll see the new “whateveritis” at Musikmesse in 3 days anyways but I won’t have any time to watch the video until after then.
Good luck!
