Record Any Sound on Your Mac
Soundshine Record captures system audio or individual apps, plus any microphones, mixed into a single file with per-source volume and live monitoring. No virtual driver, no aggregate devices, no Terminal.
Part of the Soundshine family, alongside Soundshine Route. Route sends audio into other apps. Record saves audio to a file.

Key Features
Key Features
Record Any Source
All system audio, or individual applications via Core Audio process taps, plus any microphones, mixed into one file.
Per-Source Volume & Meters
Every selected source has its own volume slider and live level meter. Balance the mix live, while the recording runs.
Live Passthrough Monitoring
Hear the mix as it records. Tapped apps are silenced at your speakers and monitored through Soundshine Record instead, so what you hear is exactly what you record.
- No echo, no double audio
- Real-time level meters per source
Clean File Formats
Save as AAC (.m4a, default), WAV, or AIFF at 48 kHz stereo, straight to ~/Music/SoundshineRecord or a folder you choose.
No Driver, No Hassle
Process taps mean there's nothing to install into the system, no admin prompt, and no coreaudiod restart. Grant recording permission once and you're set.

Need to send audio into an app instead?
Soundshine Route turns your system audio into a microphone input, so Zoom, Meet, Discord, and any other app can hear what your Mac is playing.
