Let’s Start With AudFree Audio Capture for Mac
Step 1: At first, you will need to install the Audree Audio Capture on your Mac. Once the software is installed, you simply have to enter the license key under the “register Option” to activate the program. (Note: Free Trial Version records only 1 minute of each audio track, So to extract the maximum benefit out of Audio Capture, you should have a fully licensed version)
Step 2: After launching the AudFree Audio Capture, you will see a list of mainstream apps on the main window such as Chrome, iTunes, Spotify, Firefox, etc. Since they are the commonly used media players installed on your Mac, you can access and capture the audio with only click only using any of these apps. In case, the app you want to record audio from doesn’t show up on the main screen then you can simply click the ‘+‘ button to add the specific program to the main window.
Step 3: Before proceeding with recording, you need to go to the bottom right corner to find the ‘Audio Icon’ and select the output audio format out of options such as MP3, WAV, AAC, M4A, M4B, FLAC and its parameters, like codec, bit rate, sample rate, and channel.
Step 4: Once the audio quality is set, now you will be required to select the audio source/app and start to play the music tracks you want to capture. After started, you will notice a new recording task is created in the recording window. You can also play multiple songs from a variety of sources at once and AudFree Audio Capture will record all the audios in real time and automatically identify the gaps between all tracks so that it can split them into independent files properly.
Step 5: Once you’ve finished capturing the audio, you can stop playing the audio in the specific program and close it. Now if you want to merge different recordings into one file, you should check the option of ‘Merge into one’ before quitting. To edit, you can click on the ‘edit’ icon in each audio column, so that you can split the audios to small clips. Additionally, you can also edit the ID3 tags manually, including the music cover, title, artist, year, and more.
Once everything is done, you can click on the ‘Save’ button and it will store the recorded audios in high quality on your Mac. If you want to preview the recordings, you can simply click on the ‘history’ icon and it will show you all the records as a list.
