    Hello

    Audacity does this very well, and it's free

    you launch the video, you record the sound that goes through the PC and you output an mp3 file
    do a little test first to adjust the recording level, there is a bar graph to help you not saturate
    there you go

    I installed Audacity, but I can't get the sound from my YouTube video.

    Once I've copied the URL, what should I do next in Audacity?

    Thank you for your help.

      I don't do it like that, I open Audacity, with YouTube open ready to start the video, I start the recording and I launch the video, and I stop the recording when it's finished

      This requires staying close by, but it works

      I just saw that the video lasts two hours, I don't know if Audacity can record that long.
      The idea would be to make an mp3 for each track, but it's going to take time to do!

    But I will record piece by piece, it's not a big deal

    Can you give me the pathway

    Like for example

    I just looked in the help section, you can save everything and then export it into multiple files!

    Check the help section, it's well described

    Use Google Translate if needed with a right-click

    I'm reaching out to you because my audio tracks are flat and I can't see the waves moving.

    I installed version 1.2.6.

    I wanted to go to help, but it's in English.

    Thank you for your help.
