Top 2. QuickTime Player

Most Mac computers come with a built-in microphone, but if desired, you can purchase a microphone separately and achieve better quality with a high-end studio microphone. If you do have to purchase a microphone separately, you will first have to configure the mic so it can work with your Mac computer. With QuickTime, the file you save will be an MP4 file. This format can be played on a variety of devices, which include: iPad, iPhone, iTunes, Windows, and most Smartphones. Now, let's get started with some basic audio recording on your Mac.

Here is a list of steps on recording audio on Mac: 

Step 1. Launch QuickTime and look for the "File" menu.

Step 2. Select "New audio recording". Before recording, you can change the settings for this new recording by using the arrow next to the red "Record" button.

Step 3. Change from the built-in mic to the external mic to record your voice.

Step 4. Press on the red "Record" button to start recording from your microphone. Once you are finished with your recording, press the red button again to stop.

Step 5. A new window will open, where you can save your recording by entering the file name.

Top 3. GarageBand

GarageBand is one of the easiest ways to create a great-sounding song on your Mac. You can easily shape the sound of any instrument in the Sound Library with Smart Controls. You may control GarageBand and play any software instrument wirelessly on your iPad using the Logic Remote app. After recording, you can save your audio files where you want to put them. Note that it requires macOS 10.13.6 or later.

Below is a guide to record voice on Mac: 

Step 1. Find the line-in port, which is basically located on the right side of the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, usually right next to the USB port. Take your microphone jack and plug it into the port.

Step 2. Click on the "Apple Menu" button and select "System Preferences", then click on "Sound". Then choose the line-in as your input sound device. Make sure your volume is set high enough to be recorded.

Step 3. Start your media software so you can begin recording. In GarageBand, click on "Preferences" and choose to record the microphone.

Step 4. Press the "Record" button to start a new audio recording. Once you finished recording, just press the "Record" button again or click the "Stop" button. You can edit the file recorded before you save it to your computer.
