when i use the capture effect on magic pro 14, i cant seem to find the "modulation" tab that it refers to, so i can change my audio input to "whats on the computer".  any advice on how to get what im hearing when im capturing video?  ***update***

i was able to answer my own question with about an hours worth of looking i found it, for everyone who has the same problem:

Let me guess. You're using Windows Vista now, right?

Recording the stereo mix of your sound card is no problem in ACL 12, and it can be done under Vista, too. It's just a little trickier and you have to jump through a few more hoops to get Vista to enable you to pick the stereo mix for recording in the first place. This is exactly one of the points where Vista differs from the Win 2000/XP generation. Here's in a nutshell what you have to do. (I hope I'll get this right. I'm not on Vista right now.) => Go to Vista's Control Panel, into the "Sound" dialog and to the "Recording" tab. Right-click into the list of visible icons/recording sources and pick the option to display potentially hidden/disabled sources. Then, the "Stereo Mix" option (depends on what your sound driver calls this option) will appear in the list, but will still be displayed as disabled. Right-click on it and select "Enable". Done. Now you can record from this source within Cleaning Lab.

Thanks for that explaination under Vista.  I was close, found the "recording devices" box from right clicking the speaker icon on my task bar, but it only showed two microphones, and a line in options.  The control panel did the trick though with the "stereo mix" enabling.

This is one cool feature of the program, capturing a web video........ worth the price of MEP 14 plus alone! Just got it yesterday and I am hooked on it already! Now to figure it all out. : )

I see that your instructions were for Vista (if I read correctly), but am using Windows XP and am having the same audio problem.
I am using the 'Magix Movies 2 Go II' and can capture the video part ok, but the Audio is not there.
Could you please let me know how different the steps are for gettting this to work for XP?

Thanks
