Hello guys,

I’m urgently looking for a Windows audio recorder to capture some exotic online radio stations. Not so much the music, but rather the spoken words (for turntablism).

I can’t find any audio recorder online that’s actually free. On the sister site, none of those offers work properly (I mean, they run, but they aren’t cracked, after 60 seconds the recording cuts out).

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

I’d also be willing to spend a few bucks if it doesn’t cost the world, but the ones I’ve found so far seem way too expensive for such a simple task, in my opinion.

Thank you in advance!

 

I use Audacity. It's free. Although I use the Linux version, it is also for windows.

 

@railkiller2376, Search this on the sister site -
Abyssmedia Streaming Audio Recorder v3.5.2.1-LAXiTY

 

Thanks guys, I tried Audacity and it its working fine! Goldwave looks promising too but it aint free.

 

Thanks buddy, but I tried this a couple of months ago. in the beginning it worked but then it started to cut out after 60sec.

 

You're very welcome. I prefer Audacity as paul_audioz mentioned.
It's great freeware, I''ve been using it for years.

 

Audacity is getting better and better. It can use VST(i)'s also. And it gets multi-track handling. However, I do not find it user-friendly. I only use it to record live music from a website. Reaper and other program's have conflict in audio-driver settings. Audacity can use its own driver. And it's free!

 

What about VB audios voicemeeter?

It creates virtual hardware you can output to, insert FX, Route and record.
Dswswasapiaudiorouter (I can't remember the exact name) might do the same, but voice meeter is a bit easier to handle.
//Edit// wait are we talking about a sample editor that records your analog radio plugged into your soundcard?
For that I love Acoustica. But the mentioned open source solutions are great.

 

I use Audacity. I set the Spotify Windows app to Lossless and use Audacity to record the audio and export it as a FLAC file.

Open your favourite DAW, add ^ to a track, start recording (mute your DAW or you'll create a feedback loop)

 

Check if you can set up a loopback on your interface?
I have my main out also going to SPDIF out and then a cable looping back to SPDIF in and I can therefore record any audio into any DAW.
