How can I record the audio for a radio station I'm streaming LIVE?

You want to use a Screen Recording App that has the Audio Record Option. I use SnagIT and Camtasia by TechSmith. (30 day free trial available, but SnagIt is cheap.)

You can record radio shows, videos, facetime conversations, or create a training video showing others how to do something click by click on the screen. The default settings pick up the audio directly from the computer. If you wish to narrate on top of this you can add a mic and change the settings.

You are not only wrong in your claims but your original answer was extremely condescending, as JMLoomey pointed out. If you intend to continue to contribute to these forums, I suggest you adjust both your knowledge and your style or you will very soon find yourself on the outer.

If you have Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later, you may use the built in QuickTime 10 player.

Open the file menu and select New Audio Recording. You may click on the down arrow to select the microphone input, quality, and save destination. Microphone volume is adjustable with the slider under the recordbutton.

Hope this helps....

Why don’t you record the live stream in a very quiet room...?? Makes sense....??

Its not that difficult you see....!!!!

Of course, there are legal restrictions on rights and use of most streaming internet audio, so investigate before you record!

I understand that Audacity (free) has some capabilities with an add-in product called SoundFlower, but I've not tried that combination to recording streaming audio with OS X 10.10 Yosemite. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/

I have used WireTap and WireTap Studio from Ambrosia Software for audio recording from a streaming source for personal use. The software is not inexpensive US$69, but a limited free trial is available. http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/wiretap/

He clearly wants to record audio directly from the source, not secondhand from the speakers. Let's not get mad and throw around exclamation points in a condescending way.

Try checking out Soundflower. It's an application that lets you redirect audio into other applications. I haven't used it personally, but I know of some users who have had luck with it.

Are you asking what app to use to record the stream, or how to get just the stream with no room noise? or both?

JMLoomy, I am completely in my senses.

I know what I am suggesting the OP and also know that he/she wants to record the live streaming from the mac and not from the speakers.

It doesn’t matter whether he/she is recording the audio from the macbook or any external speakers because if the room is noisy than obviously the ambient room noise will be recorded.

To reduce or make the room noise as low as possible (to get the best audio recording), I recommended the OP to try to record the radio live streaming audio in a silent room. Does it makes any sense to you....??

And BTW, I am not showing any superiority by throwing around exclamation points. Its just my humble way of suggesting something.

No. Preferably one records using direct input.

Your comment It doen’t matter whether he/she is recording the audio from the macbook or any external speakers because if the room is noisy than obviously the ambient room noise will be recorded. is pretty silly really. Think about what you just wrote.
