There is a free solution for this. It may sound complicated, but be pacient. It really works great, and you only need a little bit of preparation, once, and you'll be set.I use SoundFlower. It provides virtual input and output audio devices and allows to pipe your mac's audio output to its input. This way you can record whatever sound comes out of your mac without also capturing the sounds in your environment.SoundFlower can be downloaded for free, from the author, Matt Ingalls:Once installed, you can just select your output and your input to Soundflower, then play any sound and record it.There is a slight inconvenient with this: you won't hear it while recording.To overcome this, you go to the Audio Midi Setup application (already on your mac), and create a Multi-output device.

Include both Soundflower and the built-in output in this device. Then just use it for output: all the audio will be simultaneously played on your normal output and also sent to Soundflower.Try it! I have SoundFlower working in Mojave just fine.I did not try installing, I already had it on my mac, so maybe it is a problem with the installer. The fact that the webpage does not mention Mojave does not mean it won't work.
Soundflower is a freely developed audio routing app for Mac OS X. Once installed, it provides a way of routing audio that your Mac is playing as though it was an external source. Lets record some audio from a YouTube clip using Soundflower and QuickTime Player. How to record a sound on a Mac Buy a good quality microphone. Modern software can work wonders when it comes to cleaning up audio. Consider a USB audio interface. Even if you don’t need XLR inputs for your microphone. Choose your recording environment carefully. While you could choose just.
It was written before Mojave existed and was not updated (perhaps because it has not been fully tested).What exactly is failing?If you just double-click the pkg file it will not let you run, saying it is from an 'unidentified developer'. Instead, control-click and choose Open. You will see a window like the one below. If you click Open, it should proceed.Or perhaps you did all this already, and the installer failed later on?I am not going to try it now, since I already have it and it is working. Please explain where and how it is failing. I hope you get it working too.
Hello Exxplora2I had the same experience when I tried to install it three times. At the very last moment, after several steps have registered, Mojave aborts the installation. It was improperly installed even though I followed the instructions explicitly and even went to the Soundflower site and followed their instructions as well. I will try the latest suggestion of using Audio Hijack or Screenflick and see if that helps.
I think the new screen capturer utility is great but leaving out the ability to record system audio is a major mistake, in my view.
