After you're done recording, you can re-enable direct Soundflower monitoring again from its menu.Īll that's easier done than said, it's really just a few clicks if you take the explanation out of the way.Ĩ. Audacity will turn off Soundflower monitoring as soon as you hit the record button, and instead send its own monitoring out to the speakers (but since Soundflower is its input, it's all the same stream to your ears). In its preferences, under the Audio I/O tab, set the playback device to built-in audio and the recording device to Soundflower (2ch).ħ.
Toggle this between that and None, while any old app that makes sound is running, to verify that audio is being sent there (because the output cuts in and out).Ħ. Go up to the Soundflowerapp menu and tick "Built-in Audio" (or whatever you normally use) under the 2ch section. Under the Audio Devices tab, set the default output to Soundflower (2ch).ĥ. Launch Audio MIDI Setup, in your Application/Utilities folder. You can always add it to your login items if you use it regularly.Ĥ. Launch Soundflowerbed, so that it's in your menu bar. Grab a copy of Audacity, if you don't already have a recording app you like.ģ. Drag the Soundflowerbed app into your Applications folder, then run the installer that's also in the disk image (do it in that order because the installer will require a reboot, and otherwise you'd have to open up the disk image a second time just to grab Soundflowerbed).Ģ. Lotsa steps, but remember that some of this stuff is one time onlyġ. Here's how to record your Mac's audio for free. You could also consider using Wiretap or one of the Audio Hijack programs (both commercial), these have built-in recording.
Soundflower (free) will let you patch system audio into a recording app.
