The apps mentioned in paragraph 1 above are primarily for screen recording with an ability to capture both system and/or mic audio.
(I.e., my captured audio quality is good but the QT X player workflow is a pain to use.)Ĥ) Not sure what you mean by "other sound recording programs" in your post.
QUICKTIME FOR MAC AUDIO RECORDING LINE IN MANUAL
Since you did not describe your workflow I do not know if you are complaining about the manual pipeline reprogramming requirement or audio quality due to the fact that you may not be reprogramming the pipeline at all and are still capturing the system audio via the built-in mic. I believe the last major overhaul was initiated under Lion and completed under Mountain Lion and did not require any updating for Mavericks or Yosemite.ģ) Like the OP, you have not indicated what "terrible" means to you above. It is up to each user to decide which workflow is best suited to their specific needs.Ģ) Soundflower only requires updating when Apple modifies the core audio routines. alter the audio pipeline from within the screen capturing app itself. I personally don't use the QT X player and Soundflower combination because it requires the manual setting and resetting of the audio pipeline each time it is used while other apps like Screeny, ScreenFlick, Snapz ProX, Screenflow, etc. Are there any other sound recording programs that are good for mac and QT X?ġ) No, I actually pointed out the the original poster did not fully describe their workflow, that the problem may be an operator error in selecting/recording the audio input, that Soundflower was an option that allows the selection/combining of both Mic and System audio during a QT X player screen recording, or that other apps using either Soundflower or built-in audio capture routines are available. Ok, you said to use soundflower, but soundflower hasn't been updated in ages, and is actually terrible with the mac when you are not recording.
QUICKTIME FOR MAC AUDIO RECORDING LINE IN UPDATE
So.ġ) Most users who use this app for screen recordings and want both mic and computer audio recorded select the "built-in mic" option, adjust mic and speaker levels so they are about equal but not causing feedback, then record the screen while playing and talking-i.e., recording both their voice and the speaker output through the mic input.Ģ) Better quality is achieved using software like soundflower to capture the computer audio directly internally during recording a then add the mic narration later in iMovie, GarageBand, or some similar app.ģ) Best approach would be to check and see if there is an update for the software that stopped working under Yosemite if it supports simultaneous multiple audio input sources. You can only select one form of audio input at a time while making a screen recording using the QT X player. But when I attempt to do a screen recording it will pick up sound from the computer (from YouTube, or wherever), but it doesn't pick up the internal microphone. Next to the record button it allows me to select internal microphone, and I can do an audio recording by itself just fine like this. So I'm trying to do a screen recording while picking up audio from both the internal microphone, and audio from things playing on the computer itself (in videos, etc.). I thought I'd give quicktime a try so see if they've upgraded certain features on that app, and it appears they have, but I'm still having some trouble. Set audioNotePath to (homeFolder & savePath & defaultName & " " & dateTimeStamp & ".So I just recently upgraded to Yosemite, and another program I was using to capture screen recordings with audio stopped working. Set dateTimeStamp to do shell script "date '+%m%d%y-%H%M%S'" Set homeFolder to (path to home folder) as string property savePath : "Desktop:" -update e.g.,: "Dropbox:Inbox:- Voice Memos:" If you really want it as an Automator action, just have the Automator action open the script application. Once you do stop the recording, it will export the file, open it, and quit. If you save the following as a stay open application in Script Editor, when you run the application, it will create a new audio recording and keep checking to see if you have manually stopped the recording. Set timeVariable to do shell script "date +'%l.%M %p'"Ĭlick pop up button "Format:" of group 1 of sheet 1 of window "Untitled" of application process "QuickTime Player" of application "System Events" Set dateVariable to do shell script "date '+%m.%d.%y'" Set thePath to POSIX path of audioNotePath
Set audioNotePath to "/Users/me/Dropbox/Inbox/- Voice Memos" Repeat while lastLength is not equal to newLengthĮnd try - display alert name of document 1 What may be wrong with the script? on run When running the debug in Automator, the script seems to suddenly stop at the line "set lastLength to duration of x", and throws the error: I am using this AppleScript, that intends to activate QuickTime on OS X and automatically start recording audio.
