Just did that on a Youtube video - wasn't too pleased with the results (a little tinny, but I think it was capturing mono, not stereo - even though it said "stereo" on the output file).

No problems, though.   thinking face

NO WONDER you like this program.

There are LOTS of things wrong with much of the music on YouTube. Some time back I was evaluating a new set of fairly capable looking (ie., rather big for the application - nearly 1/4 cu. ft. ea.!) computer audio speakers. I happened to play Black Sabbath’s “Fairies Wear Boots”. I was not impressed. But... suspicious, I pulled out my old (ie., before the “Loudness Wars”) CD of same, which is a GREAT recording. Now, NO computer speaker is even 1/10 up to reproducing that CD in all its dynamics and glory, but through those chintzy speakers, the result was clearly superior and much more dynamic from the CD than YouTube. Don’t get me wrong, for uncritical listening, quite a bit of music on YouTube will “pass” for many listeners. Heck, I listen there a lot, because there is so much content there hard to find elsewhere. But, YouTube squashes the audio - no doubt about it. Even my wife can tell the difference, and that’s not counting the many vids where the audio was lousy even before it was downloaded to YouTube, for one reason or another.
