sound quality of Youtube audio recorded with audacity
by newbiesforever from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Z4CA)
I didn't think it would be possible to record audio from a Youtube video, because people would steal copyrighted music. But I found out that it can certainly be done: https://www.aimersoft.com/record-mus...youtube.html#1 said all I have to do is click the record button in Audacity while the video is playing.
Technically, it's working; but the volume is terrible. It sounds like what you'd expect from crudely recording something with a tape recorder back when we used tape recorders. Even turning the gain up to maximum doesn't help. I'm disappointed. Is there anything else I can do to make the recording sound as clear as the Youtube video?
(I wanted to extract the audio from videos of services at my church. I used to do this by processing the audio from DVDs of the services through winff and then audacity, and this worked for me for the last six or seven years; but after the DVD machine broke or something, we stopped offering DVDs and switched to making Youtube videos instead. I don't know why--the cost of a replacement, or some other reason. I've been periodically asking the sound booth people to let me access the files that they used to upload the video, because I never actually needed the DVD--only the audio.)
