It can run muted in the background and can record to an AIF file, which I can later import into Audacity for editing. Loopback from Rogue Amoeba is way more powerful than most Audacity users need.Īudio Hijack from Rogue Amoeba is my preferred solution for recording computer audio.

This new-and-improved audio driver replaces Soundflower and provides a bunch of new features and improvements in order to make recording audio more stable and easy to do. IShowU Audio Capture is an extension to OS X used by iShowU Studio and iShowU Instant to record audio from your computer. iShowU is from shinywhitebox and is part of their screen recording package.
