You can record system audio using various methods, including online screen capture tools, desktop audio recorders, or built-in operating system applications. Here's a breakdown of some common options:
-
Screen Capture (Online Grabber): These web-based tools often offer system audio recording alongside screen recording functionality.
-
Audacity (Desktop Recorder): Audacity is a free, open-source audio editor and recorder that can capture system audio on your computer.
-
Windows Voice Recorder (Built-in Windows App): Windows includes a built-in voice recorder app that, depending on your configuration, can be used to record system audio.
If you need to record both audio and your screen or webcam feed simultaneously, consider using a dedicated screen recorder like Movavi Screen Recorder. It is an advanced desktop program offering many useful recording features.
Detailed Options and Considerations:
To effectively record system audio, consider these factors:
- Operating System: The specific steps may vary based on whether you're using Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- Audio Drivers: Ensure your audio drivers are up-to-date to minimize compatibility issues.
- Software Configuration: Many audio recording programs require you to select the correct audio input source. This might be labeled "Stereo Mix," "System Audio," or something similar. You may need to enable this input in your sound settings.
Specific Software Examples:
- Audacity: A popular choice, Audacity allows you to choose your recording device (e.g., Stereo Mix) and offers editing tools to refine your recording.
- Movavi Screen Recorder: This software is a desktop program which includes the feature of recording the computer screen alongside system audio.
- Windows Game Bar (Windows): Primarily for recording gameplay, the Windows Game Bar can also capture system audio.
Before you start recording, it is important to verify if you have the legal rights to record the specific audio. Recording copyrighted audio without permission may infringe copyright laws.
