Hey fellow Bitwiggers, I'd love to sample from YouTube as easy as possible. I'm on Linux, what are my options?

EDIT:
It is super simple! Again, I'm on Linux. Start Bitwig, go to Settings > Audio. My driver model is JACK. Add a stereo input bus and select JACK/PulseAudio JACK Sink as input from the dropdown. If your select this as an input on an audio track, you can play anything on your computer and record it in Bitwig.

No replies yet so I'll give it a try - feel free to ignore if you solved this already

Are you using pipewire? I would think that either helvum or qpwgraph would be able to route the audio from youtube into bitwig but I haven't tried to do this.

I usually watch YouTube and find samples on my phone so I download there. I used to use NewPipe but it broke for a bit and I the found Seal. If you're on Android do you have F-Droid?

Great setup, but I'm even lazier. I don't want to download (I use NewPipe as well), but I'd like to route YouTube audio to a Bitwig tracks audio in and hit record.

Can you just physically line out to line in? I can't think of a better way though there may be one.

Actually have you watched this? (timestamped link), that looks like a setup that better would fit your needs.

This looks interesting, Polarity analyses audio in the browser. Now if I could record this, I'd be pretty happy.
