RECORD YOUR MAC SCREEN with AUDIO and MICROPHONE

In this Quick Tips guide, I demonstrate how to screen record on your Mac with full audio. You can record all internal audio with the help of BlackHole from Existential Audio, and I'll show you how to combine this with the internal microphone.

Nice thanks. Do you know of something similar for the iPad?

[@ConstantGeekery]

The iPad does it out of the box. Settings > Control Center > add Screen Recording. Now swipe down from top right and there will be a screen record option. By default this will record system audio. If you want microphone, long press on the record button, and you’ll see an option to turn the microphone on.

Great video, thanks a lot! I guess this is also needed if one wants to stream on Twitch from a Mac while keeping both a microphone input and the Mac apps and games output. Next step, a tutorial on how to setup a Mac for Twitch streaming with OBS? :P

[@BilisNegra]

Would you believe not only I don't need to do this, but I don't even have a Mac, yet I've watched and even enjoyed this?

[@artysanmobile]

Blow off the dust. Great comic move!

[@Lululemon2023]

Most helpful instruction video on this function, extremely concise and clear.

[@jeanletourneau9642]

Very nice tip. I was already using Blackhole to redirect the audio when recording the screen. The routing of audio with the Midi setup app to combine different sources is an added bonus. Merci beaucoup !

[@TyroSean]

Thank you! I've wanted this for SO LONG! Something so simple should be integrated into macOS like it is on iPadOS/iOS

[@Johnnygoto]

The only problem with this method is that your voice recording will be recorded to either left or right channel the same as the screen audio. So in the end I hear myself speaking from the left speaker and the screen audio from the right.

[@ConstantGeekery]

Screen audio should remain in stereo. I think there is a way to route the microphone to both speakers, but I'll need to play with that. You can convert the clip to mono in a video editor and that should centralise the voice.

[@JonathanJK]

This tip came at the right time for my channel. Thank you so much!

[@thinguyen-pi6sj]

Why don't you use software like OBS Studio? I find it faster and more customizable.

[@ConstantGeekery]

I do use OBS for some things. It is great 👍🏻

[@JoeDezibel74]

That´s an awesome tool and 10 buck is absolutely ok! Thank you!

[@renanletenski]

awesome app, buttttt.... omg the audio delay caused by it is awful

[@ConstantGeekery]

I haven’t experienced that.

[@juebaitube]

Thank you 😊

[@IncaWarrior10-im9bi]

What if you shift and windows buttons don’t work???

[@ConstantGeekery]

Then I'd imagine you'd have bigger problems using your computer than starting a screen recording... but you can just open Quicktime Player and launch a screen recording from there.

This is a lot more effort than I want to go through when I want to put out a quick video. I do wish that Apple would provide a native solution to this problem but I imagine that there would be the issue of mixing the audio. For now, I just live with the sound from the Mac going back in via the microphone. It's not a great solution but good enough for what I do at this time. If I need better quality, then I would need to look into a solution like this.

[@ConstantGeekery]

You only have to set it up once. After that, it takes exactly the same amount of time as using the microphone only.

[@artysanmobile]

@movdqa. It only looks like a lot of effort, requiring a very simple setup just once for each different solution you think up. Screen recording mixed audio is one solution. “Aggregate” is software engineer tone-deafness for “combined”. Its part of the language used by every Apple device, even your phone, called Core Audio. AudioMidi is a control panel to choose what elements of Core Audio you need for your purpose. 3rd party apps - Zoom, Cubase - use Core Audio without making us learn its language, just calling them inputs, outputs, etc. The ability to make and remember custom mixers is AudioMidi’s Native superpower. That mixer can be 3 inputs x 2 outputs as in this case or hundreds for professional applications. Here, you are combining stereo “internal” audio - the Mac’s default sound - with a mono signal - the microphone on your Mac. The mix of those is assigned to be recorded, and it’s as simple as that. It’s a three fader Mackie mixer that records its output, if that helps. You only need to understand it and it will very much be “Native.“ Computers still need to be told what to do. 😊 It’s unfortunate that SW engineers feel the need to customize the language, confusing many users.

[@JonathanJK]

This is so simple. What are you talking about!

[@TonyCR1975]

I always wondered why iOS had its own video recorder embedded in the OS but MacOS doesn't has any, i hope Apple will fix this soon
