Re: [microsound] lane-line phone recording

[bobby whn <golf_dragon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

there's a program called audiohijack,  which i think you can get a demo of 
from
http://www.rogueamoeba.com
which hijacks the audio-out of your computer,  and records it,
the problems might be though that you have to launch the audio program to be 
hacked into AFTER audiohijack,  which could be difficult if its the in-built 
sound of the computer, try it, it could work though.
and also the demo will only record good sound for 3 minutes or so,  after 
then it "degrades"
or basically superimposes ear-splitting noise over it,  which is really 
really unpleasant if you are recording something quiet at high volume , like 
i was. :)
