Hi there and welcome. Now, I know Jack S about software, old valve amp tech, so I may have the wrong idea about your utility? Do you mean that since Win 10 you could no longer record audio running in a computer such as int' radio or a YT audio track? If so, I hope you won't be too upset when I tell you that the free Audacity can do this!
Dave.
Hi Dave, thanks for the welcome, and no upset at all. You're right that Audacity records internal audio for free, and it's a great tool, I point people to it myself.
The difference isn't the recording part, it's where the audio ends up. Audacity captures to a file that you then import wherever you need it. What I built puts the audio straight where you're working: as a plug-in it drops the sound right onto a track in your DAW, live in the session, and it also installs as a virtual input device, so anything that records from a mic (Zoom, OBS, another DAW) can take system audio directly. Less "can you record it" and more "skip the export-and-reimport, get it where you actually want it."
Plus you can trigger recording at any point, in any app with just a keyboard shortcut. Or you can capture live streams into your daw for processing...
For a lot of people that convenience isn't worth paying for, and that's completely fair, Audacity's the right call.
For folks doing it constantly (sampling into a DAW, pulling call audio into a session) the one-step workflow adds up. It's found a real audience since I launched it, and it was recently covered by Production Expert and MusicRadar, so there are some outside takes out there if you're curious.
Either way, good to meet you, and I'm here more to talk shop than my own software.
Cheers,
Vitaliy
