This post will help you solve the problem of how to record Podcast on Mac and provide you with the 3 most useful recording tools for a Mac.

Record Podcast on EaseUS RecExperts

The easiest way to record Podcasts is to use EaseUS RecExperts. This screen recorder, which is compatible with both macOS and Windows, can record audio on PC for you. 

Although it is essentially screen capture software, you can also use it as an internal audio recorder. It can record the system and microphone sound on Mac alone, and you can freely adjust the volume. After recording, you can also export the files to various audio formats, including MP3, FLAC, AAC, etc., with the help of EaseUS.

EaseUS RecExperts also offers additional advanced features, as it can extract audio from video files to help you improve the content of your Podcast. 

You can even use it to schedule recording plans, which will automatically complete the recording process for you at a specific time you set.

In addition to recording podcasts, EaseUS RecExperts can help you in these areas:

  • Record gameplay with 4k Resolution.
  • Take screenshot.
  • Trim videos and add more video effects.
  • Record Zoom meetings, PPTs, Instagram stories, etc.
  • Need a 4k video player.

Now follow the detailed tutorial to learn how to record Podcast on Mac easily.

Step 1. Launch this Mac screen recorder, then click the "Audio" button on the main interface.

Record Podcast on QuickTime Player

Of course, besides using third-party tools, there are two built-in tools in Mac that can actually help you with Podcast recording. The first utility we'd like to introduce you to is QuickTime, which is essentially a native player for Mac, with most of its features catered to video files.

However, it also supports users to create new audio files and offers customizable audio settings to meet their personal preferences. The quality of the audio recorded through it is good, and it is very straightforward to use.

Here's exactly how to use QuickTime to record a podcast.

Step 1. Open QuickTime on your Mac.

Step 2. Navigate to File> New Audio Recording.

Step 3. A small recording window will pop up. Now you can adjust some recording settings before starting the process.

Step 4. Hit the red Record button to record a Podcast, hit the button again to end, and save the file.

While recording a Podcast on QuickTime is easier than other methods, it does have some limitations. You can't use QuickTime to record internal audio on a Mac. Therefore, if the podcast you want to record requires a special sound source, then you still need the help of a more professional tool, such as EaseUS RecExperts.

Record Podcast on Garageband

If you want to record a more professional Podcast and want to be able to use a lot of editing features, Garageband would be the best choice.

It is also an application built into the Mac that allows users to create their own music. Although Garageband was developed to make it easier for amateurs to make music, it has features that can also help podcast creators create better audio content.

Here is a detailed tutorial.

Step 1. Open Garageband on your Mac.

Step 2. Navigate to New Project> Empty Project.

Step 3. Choose the microphone as Input 1, and hit the Create button.

Step 4. Now you can hit the Record button on the top of the window, and start recording your audio.

Step 5. You can use the functions Garageband offers and hit the File option to save your project.

It is worth noting that although Garageband can offer you more advanced sound settings and recording effects, it is relatively difficult to operate. If you are just a novice, I recommend using the above two methods to record Podcasts.

Conclusion

How to record Podcaset on Mac? With the help of EaseUS RecExperts, QuickTime, and Garageband, it is not a hard problem. You can check detailed tutorials on how to use these three tools to record Podcasts in this article. 

However, we recommend EaseUS RecExperts, a professional screen and streaming audio recorder, which is friendly to both novices and professionals, over QuickTime, which is less versatile, and Garageband, which is more difficult to use.
