System audio
According to Apple rules, the App Store apps can’t record system sound. However, Monosnap can use any audio input for recording audio. This means the system sound can be recorded through the special emulator - a fake audio device.
To set up a fake audio device and record system audio:
1️⃣ Download the application SoundFlower-2.0b2 from GitHub and install it to create an audio device with a system sound.
2️⃣ In the System Preferences > Security & Privacy, allow setting up apps from identified developers. If the installation failed for some reason, please check Security & Privacy window one more time.
📌 Note: You can’t change the volume on your Mac as long as SoundFlower is turned on. That is why check twice the output level of sound on your Mac and set it up to an acceptable level beforehand.
3️⃣ Open Audio MIDI Setup. Use Spotlight to find it quickly.
4️⃣ In the bottom left corner, press the ‘+’ button and select Create Multi-Output Device.
5️⃣ Select Built-in Output and Soundflower (2ch).
6️⃣ Press the button with gear and select Use this device for sound output.
7️⃣ In the status bar, click on the volume icon to switch between a Multi-Output Device and Internal speakers.
⚠️ Check twice the output level of sound on your Mac and set it up to an acceptable level beforehand and only after that — switch to the Multi-Output device.
⚠️ After video recording, don’t forget to switch from a Multi-Output device to Built-in Output. If you ignore this step, you’ll not be able to change system volume.
To show volume in the menu bar, go to System Preferences > Sound and turn on the option Show volume in a status bar.
8️⃣ Launch Monosnap.
9️⃣ Select Record video in the Monosnap’s menu.
🔟 Open Settings menu. In the Audio Inputs section, select SoundFlower (2ch).
⏺ Start recording.
Mic audio
To record mic audio:
1️⃣ Launch Monosnap.
2️⃣ Select Record video in the Monosnap’s menu.
3️⃣ Open Settings menu. In Audio Inputs section, select a mic.
⏺ Start recording.
📌 Tip: Also, you can select a second mic to record audio from several devices simultaneously.

To record system and mic audio simultaneously:
1️⃣ Launch Monosnap.
2️⃣ Select Record video in the Monosnap’s menu.
3️⃣ Open Settings menu.
4️⃣ In the Audio Inputs section, select a mic and SoundFlower (2ch). You can select for mic and SoundFlower in any input.
⏺ Start recording.

⚠️ Check twice the output level of sound on your mac and set it up to an acceptable level beforehand and only after that — switch to the Multi-Output device.
⚠️ After video recording, don’t forget to switch from a Multi-Output device to Built-in Output. If you ignore this step, you’ll not be able to change system volume.
