How can I record/route Ableton > Audacity

Post by Sleeper256 » Mon Aug 29, 2011 1:32 am

I'm a little confused, I've downloaded Soundflowerbed, and I've noticed there are certain things that won't record into it for some reason (this isn't about recording things off of youtube or something) such as certain games. Like they use a different device to output the sound or something. Anyway, I never thought too much of it, until I tried to record something from Ableton into Audacity. Thought'd it'd work just like every sound, but it doesn't.

I'll make something else clear, I want to be able to hear what's being recorded as well. That shouldn't be too much of a problem, because it records other things without a problem like that.

Live is set up to output to Built-in Audio, but when I change the output to Soundflower, I am able to record it using Audacity, but I can't hear it anymore.

Any help with this issue? Thanks!

also .. excuse me but ..
I fail to see the point in routing the output of Live into audacity..
seems a bit counter productive..
