Audio 路 3 sources
Three sources. Three tracks. Mix after.
ShipClip captures system audio, microphone, and the echo between them as separate signals. Every track stays independent through editing, so a single bad notification never costs you the whole take.
Quick reference
| Source | What it captures | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| System audio | macOS app sounds, browsers, music | Demos that include audio playback |
| Microphone | Built-in or external input device | Voiceover, narration, talking-head demos |
| Echo cancellation | Apple AEC running on the mic input | Recording without headphones |
The three sources
01
System audio
Records every sound your Mac makes: app audio, notifications, music, browser tabs. Each source mixes into one track at capture, separate from your microphone.
Notes: Captured natively via ScreenCaptureKit, no driver
02
Microphone
Pick any input device, watch real-time levels in the recording bar, swap mid-session if you need to. Mic records to its own track so you can mix it against system audio in the timeline.
Notes: Device picker with live level meters before recording
03
Echo cancellation
Apple's voice processing IO removes speaker output from your mic signal in real time. Means you can demo a video call or a podcast clip out loud and still ship a clean voiceover.
Notes: Optional, on by default
How audio editing works
- Separate tracks at capture. System and mic are recorded to independent files. Camera audio lives on its own track too.
- Mute, solo, automate. Every audio track has its own controls and supports volume keyframes. Drop a keyframe to dip the mic during a noisy stretch, or fade system audio in and out.
- Echo cancellation runs at capture. You can't un-cancel it after the fact, but it stays out of the recording when toggled off.
- Export bakes the mix. The final MP4 contains your mix as a single track. Original stems stay on disk for as long as you keep the project.
