Midtune Record · Audio recorder
Any app, the whole system, or a microphone, as separate tracks when you want them, to CAF, WAV, or AAC. Protected content excepted.
Midtune Record is a native macOS 26 audio recorder that captures the whole system, a single app, or a microphone, runs it through a visible signal chain (gain, three-band EQ, compressor, balance), and writes CAF, 24-bit WAV, or AAC files. It needs no driver and no admin password.
What it does
Pick the whole Mac, one running app, or any input device. Record's own audio is always excluded, and an unavailable app is an error, never a silent broadening of capture.
Gain → three-band EQ → compressor → balance, applied live while recording, with presets for gentle leveling, spoken voice, and firm control.
CAF or 24-bit WAV for lossless takes, AAC at 128, 192, or 256 kb/s for small ones. Headers flush every 10 seconds, so a crash keeps what you recorded.
Titles, searchable notes, real meters, and pause that omits paused time. Reveal the latest take in Finder with one shortcut.
Point Record at a Route virtual device and each source lands on its own track.
