How to Record Audio on a PC 

You can record a video with audio on PC just as quickly as on Mac. In fact, Windows 10 has a feature explicitly crafted for it! As a bonus, your final recording will automatically be saved as an MP4 file, meaning you can easily upload it wherever you need in just a few minutes.

Getting started is simple — follow these steps:

• Under Settings, head to the “Game Bar” section underneath “Gaming.”
• Find the switch that says: “Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game Bar.” Turn it on.

To start recording, press the “Win” and “G” buttons to open the Game Bar and click “Start Recording.” Now you can make a video using your audio recorder!

2. Click the screen once to begin recording its entirety, or click-and-drag to select the area you want to be recorded.
3. Ensure your voice is being recorded by double-checking your Sound Output settings in Quicktime. If the proper source is selected, you’re all set to hit “record.”

3 Tips for Recording Audio 

So, you’ve installed your copy of Voicemod, understand how to record audio on your device, and can’t wait to start using your new voice recorder. But, before you get started, take some time to ensure you’re following these tips to get the best recording possible.

1. Control Your Mic Distance 
   If you’re speaking loudly, keep your microphone at a further distance. For quieter parts, bring it closer to keep your voice at a consistent volume.
2. Manage Pops
   Microphones are sensitive to the “pops” our mouths make when pronouncing Ps and Bs. Manage these volume bursts by adjusting your distance and angle to decrease their intensity.
3. Avoid Breathing into the Mic 
   Breaths sound extra clear when picked up by a microphone. Try turning away each time you take a breath to avoid distracting from your voice.
