After you finish, click "Stop" to terminate the recording process.
If you don't specify, it will automatically begin to record the whole screen
Choose whether you would like to capture the whole screen, one window, or a particular selection. Press a combination of "Command," "Shift," and "5". Follow these steps to screen record with sound on your Mac: Then they can send saved the AIFC file using their preferred file sharing service (Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, etc.).MacOS Mojave and all later versions have a built-in screen recording feature that is easy to use. Remind them to press the record button when it’s time to begin the interview, and then remind them to stop and save the recording when you are done. Set the Quality to “Maximum” so it records an uncompressed AIFC file instead of a compressed/lossy M4A file. Select your external Microphone as the recording input and make sure the meters register signal when you tap on the your microphone. In the new recording window that appears, click the small arrow to the right of the record button, then: In QuickTime’s File menu, select “New Audio Recording.” With the external microphone connected to the computer, open the QuickTime Player app, which lives in the Applications folder, or find it using Spotlight (command+space). It’s very easy for me to talk the guest through the process of recording themselves using QuickTime Player on their Mac: As long as each of you are using headphones to hear the other person so as to avoid the call being picked up on your microphone’s recording, that’s all that matters. This recording method can be used to record regardless of how you talk to each other - Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, Google Meet, even a phone call. This approach of each person recording themselves and then mixing the two separate files together using DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software is called “tape sync” by broadcast radio professionals, and commonly called a “double-ender” by podcasters. For Windows users, they’ll need to install an app like Windows Voice Recorder (scroll down to the end of this post). The easiest way to do this when the guest has a Mac is using QuickTime Player, which is pre-installed on all Apple computers.
Even though I rely on to record podcast guests who are in different locations, when I can I ask them to also record themselves on their end just in case the internet connection falters.
