SoundTap Streaming Audio Recorder For Mac

Recording system audio sounds like it shouldn’t be that complicated, but it requires a bit of a workaround, which means dedicated software is needed.

SoundTap is an intuitive app designed to help you record any audio that’s playing on your Mac, from any source. It works by adding a virtual audio device, through which sound is routed and can be recorded or sent to other output devices. It’s all set up automatically, so the app itself is very simple to use.

The application requires no advanced configuration. As soon as you start it, you’re ready to record. You can press the start button at any time, but SoundTap will wait until an audio stream is detected before it actually begins capturing.

You should be able to record virtually anything from your desktop, be it calls, browser or game audio, media content, and so on.

Aside from just desktop audio, SoundTap can record anything captured through your microphone. This makes it great for saving an entire conversation from a conference call without sacrificing quality by just recording everything through your microphone.

Anything being captured can also be played through any connected output device, which allows you to instantly switch from headphones to speakers, for instance.

Once you’ve saved a few files, you can use the app to find and play them, as well as process them with other NCH apps you may have installed. You can browse specific folders and use filters to pinpoint specific files.

Overall, SoundTap is an easy-to-use app for recording system audio, and it’s particularly useful for saving complete audio calls, if the conferencing program you’re using doesn’t have this feature. It has very simple controls and even a built-in browser and player for your recordings.
