Recording Online Audio

Sometimes I use Reaper to capture and record my favourite streaming audio programs from the Internet.

Here are some things I’ve learned:

  • Blackhole lets you route audio from your web browser (or from any app) to Reaper (or to any DAW)
  • I can make Blackhole’s “Multi Output” device work for this, but not its “Aggregate Device”
  • To trim input levels, adjust the Blackhole device in the Audio MIDI app
