Quick question: how do you capture internal audio, let’s say some streaming in the browser or a dialogue in a film? I’m running macOS Sierra.</p> <p>Anton</p> </div><p main>Anton, in order to capture internal audio, you need to change signal routing using a special tool. There are quite a lot of such tools out there, but among the others, I’d recommend checking out “Soundflower” — it’s a free, open-source, and tiny system extension.</p> <p aside><a href="https://github.com/mattingalls/Soundflower">Soundflower</a> by Matt Ingalls on GitHub</p> <p>Once installed, go to System Preferences → Sound → Output, and choose Soundflower (2ch):</p> <div class="e2-text-picture"> <img src="https://dsokolovskiy.com/blog/pictures/soundflower-1.jpg" width="664" height="496" alt="" /> <div class="e2-text-caption">System preferences</div> </div> <p>Now all you need is an audio recording software, whether it’s your DAW or an app like Audacity. Just choose <i>Soundflower (2ch)</i> in the audio recording settings:</p> <div class="e2-text-picture"> <img src="https://dsokolovskiy.com/blog/pictures/soundflower-2.jpg" width="738" height="410" alt="" /> <div class="e2-text-caption">Audacity recording preferences</div> </div> <p>And that’s pretty much it. Once you hit the record button, it should start recording any sound that is coming from applications on your computer.</p>
