As a free, open-source, and cross-platform audio recording software, Audacity is popular and accepted by most people. This freeware allows you to record audio on your Mac, capture live audio through a microphone or mixer, or digital recordings from others. It supports 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit sample rates with high quality.
Mac OSX has QuickTime Player built-in. QuickTime allows you to easily do a screen recording. However, when doing so, you only get the screen – no audio.
You can install Soundflower to route your computer’s audio back into QuickTime to record it.

Adding Audio from your Computer
This allows you to capture the audio from your computer in your QuickTime screen recording. This is what I kept finding when trying to search for a solution. Google “Screen recording with audio on Mac” and you will see. This option routes ALL audio through Soundflower and therefore you CANNOT HEAR IT to monitor it as it is being recorded.
