Audio Capture

Microphone Recording

Capture high-quality audio from any connected microphone. Perfect for voice notes, interviews, and dictation.

Screen Audio Capture

Dual Audio (Multichannel)

  • Video calls where you want to capture both sides
  • Podcast recording with separate guest and host tracks
  • Screen recordings with voiceover narration
