I need a freeware audio recorder that will simply sit in the corner and
RECORD computer audio.

I am stupid and lazy and can't get TotalRecorder to do what I want it
to do.

A lot of demo programs won't let you "export as .wav"... and while I
don't necessarily want to own these programs I would like to at least
capture some of their output.

I would prefer not to have to reconfigure ALL of my audio devices every
time I want to smash and grab a .wav.

And VAC makes me nervous.

Now here's a neat little utility that you'll get ton of use from.
"Silent Bob" is a simple recorder that takes data directly from your
sound card and records it into a .WAV file. The really interesting part
is that it actually takes sound data from your system's memory, so that
after you click on the "record" button, you get a .WAV file consisting
of everything played on your sound card beginning THIRTY SECONDS BEFORE
you clicked the record button. This is Time Control in action!
