QuickTime also supports limited audio editing features, so if you have an unnecessarily long segment in the front or beginning of the file you can trim it or even break the sound into multiple files. There is no apparent limit on how much audio you can record with this feature, just remember that media files can grow quite large, so if you’re looking to record many hours of sound you may want to be sure you have adequate disk space ready ahead of time. The recorded sound will be an m4a file, a high quality compressed audio format that is widely recognized, allowing it to be played on just about anything, whether it’s a Mac, iTunes, Windows PC, iPhone and iPad, or an Android phone. Go to the “File” menu and choose “Save”, name the file and choose the output somewhere convenient.When finished, hit the same button to stop recording sound.Click the red (o) Record button to start recording audio from the default microphone source*.Pull down the “File” menu and choose “New Audio Recording”.Open QuickTime Player, found in the /Applications/ folder.You can record any audio on a Mac from a microphone with this method, using either a built-in microphone or an external mic.
