Audition - recording output

[fantastic_Delight15C2]

I have a mixer and I have the output connected to the input of the computer. If I record speech on a mic on one of the channels, it records perfectly in Audition. However, if I try to record what ever is playing on my computer speakers, just static or a buzz is recorded in audition. I tried connecting the output of the computer to the input of my mixer and see that the mixer is receiving audio, but Audition still does not. I saw on here a product called VAC, so I installed it, changed my preferences in Audition, but still nothing.

Whilst it's possible to get VAC to do this, correctly routing it is a nightmare. If you want to record streaming audio, a much better way to do it is to use software that's dedicated to the task of thwarting the RIAA and Microsoft's efforts to prevent you doing so. I use a program called SoundTap Streaming Audio Recorder (NCH Software) to do this - it works flawlessly. And one of the main reasons that programs like this exist is precisely because it is so difficult to get this to work...

Thanks very much. What happens if I dont pay for it eventually?

I was able to record a few songs, but now it is not showing any input coming in.
