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

I don't want to record the sound in my room, but only on the sound I'm streaming

    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....

    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.


    And you do have a bad habbit in your posts of over using ???????? & !!!!!!!!!!!!!


    One is enough.

    There are several  Third Party Recorders

    that will do as you ask. Many use Audacity

    and seem to be happy with the results. Do check on any copyright infringements on the material being recorded first.

     

    Cheers
