I've heard, that Audacity can be used to record not only our own voices, but can also be used to record sounds coming directly from the computer, much like the what you hear/stereo mix feature that comes with windows. Its rather difficult to find the what you hear/stereo mix feature in windows 8.1, but I've heard somewhere, that even if the computer doesn't offer this option, you can still do the very same thing, whith just audacity and the adjusting of a few simple settings within the preferences area of Audacity. Could someone who is familiar with doing this tell me how to record my computer sounds? For example, if I were recording a tutorial and I wanted my screen reader to also be recorded along with my voice, how do I turn this option on and off in Audacity? Thanks.
