This tutorial uses Audacity, which is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. New users should always download the stable version.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

1. Open Audacity, after installing it

2. Choose input: Stereo Mix

3. Press record

Done! I hope this helps everyone share in the fun.

Isn't this a CiW trick. I haven't noticed any back sampled work in any official videos - LonesomeOctober employed this trick, but he turned out to be a fan.
The official Vids so far messed around with speeding footage up.

Yep, but it's helpful, I imagine, for ARGs in general (opaphid, etc). And you never know when Bree and Daniel may have to send a coded message! ;)

Excellent! Great tool to have in your arsenal of "weapons" for the ARG bits.

Thanks for the info!

Didn't know Audacity would ever be needed for me when I downloaded it. I used to just use it to make songs sound like they're being sung by chipmunks, lol.

Thanks, Audacity should be useful to me for a number of things.

I've got audacity. But I don't know where to find the Stereo Mix (I've found the drop-down list circled, but it won't play for me).

...

Help?

I downloaded the stable version instead to see if that would make a difference but it doesn't.

I'm really confused.
