I was browsing for new plugins the other morning and either on the sister site, this forum or kvraudio. It was a vst plugin that did two things, (1) played the pc audio from outside the daw directly into the daw, and (2) recorded 30 seconds of audio but discarded it if it wasn't saved, allowing for what i would call an audio recall. If anyone knows what I'm talking about let me know, thanks.

 

Maybe this?

Yes that was one of them, I guess the plugin that records your computer audio was another one

 

This is a more recent and feature rich similar tool:
