I set record level at 100% or up to maximum level in pavucontrol when recording a TED talk, but even that seems a bit weak with streaming audio - peaks should be closer to 0 db. The playback meter doesn't work on mine when playing back the recording in Audacity. The recording level is reflected in the Recording Meter in Audacity while monitoring and recording.Ī few comments and concerns: Audacity has a little recording level slider on the toolbar (also a slider for output level), but those don't seem to work. You must set Audacity recording level in pulseaudio's recording tab while monotoring the audio stream in audacity. The volume control on panel doesn't affect recording level in Audacity - it only affects the speaker output on the computer. wav is OK? is there documentation for an API to get the audio in a C or Python program? is there a quick way (simple tool) to record audio from pulseaudio to a file, preferably in. but it looks like something that will take some time to learn. it sure looks like a many featured audio editor and even has a record button. is pavucontrol useful to get a recording made? i see that audacity is also already installed so i started it up. but, Recording just has No application is currently recording audio and shows no applications. the one that lets me adjust the volume of the music i am playing from YouTube in Firefox is named " AudioIPC Server: AudioStream". shouldn't there also be input devices? Playback show a lot of sources with speech-dispatcher showing up 6 times (why so many?). running it, i see tabs for Playback, Recording, and Output Devices. the latter is already installed so i tried it. Search results here and in search sites (like qwant) have suggested audacity and pavucontrol.
