How to Record Audio on Mac

Recording audio on your Mac is a fairly simple process that can be accomplished with just a few steps. Whether you're a podcaster or musician, or just need to record a voice memo, the built-in microphone on your Mac can do the job. In this blog, we'll guide you through the steps to record audio on your Mac.

 

1. Pick the recording app first

The first step is to choose an app that can record audio on your Mac. There are several options available, including the built-in QuickTime Player app, which comes pre-installed on your Mac. You can also use GarageBand, Audacity, or any other third-party app that supports audio recording.

 

2. Connect an external microphone

Though it is an optional step you can try it if required. While the built-in microphone on your Mac is decent, you may want to use an external microphone for better sound quality. You can use any USB or Bluetooth microphone with your Mac. Simply connect the microphone to your Mac and make sure it's selected as the input device in your recording app.
