Capture the right sources
Record Windows playback, microphone narration, both sources together, or a silent screen video.
Windows Screen and Audio Recording
Screen Recorder with Audio Tools for Windows
Record the screen and webcam with computer sound, microphone narration, or both. After capture, use GiliSoft Screen Recorder Pro to cut and join audio, add or replace a soundtrack, remove silence, reverse a clip, or create spoken audio from text.
Choose computer sound, microphone, both sources, or no audio before recording.What does "screen recorder with audio tools" mean?
The page covers two connected jobs: capturing the right sound while the screen is recorded, and preparing that sound after the recording ends. This is useful when a tutorial, demo, lesson, meeting, or support video needs more than a raw screen capture.
Prepare audio after capture
Cut, join, add, remove, reverse, or clean up silent ranges without rebuilding the screen recording.
Use specialist tools when needed
Move to the separate Audio Toolkit when the job expands into format conversion, CD work, vocal separation, noise removal, or speech utilities.
Compare screen and audio recording options
A quick recorder may be enough for an untouched clip. Screen Recorder Pro is the stronger fit when the soundtrack must be checked, changed, or reused before delivery.
| Option | Audio capture | Work after recording | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows built-in capture | Depends on the Windows recorder and selected source | Basic review or transfer to another editor | Short captures with little cleanup |
| Microsoft Clipchamp | Screen, camera, microphone, and supported system-audio capture | Timeline trimming, splitting, voiceover, and music | Microsoft-linked editing projects |
| OBS Studio | Flexible desktop, application, microphone, and audio-source mixing | Detailed recording control; finished editing is commonly handled separately | Streaming and configurable capture setups |
| GiliSoft Screen Recorder Pro | Computer sound, microphone, both, or none | Batch Cutter, Joiner, Add/Remove Audio, Reverse, Silence Remove, Text to Audio, and video export tools | Windows users who want capture and practical audio preparation together |
Choose GiliSoft Screen Recorder Pro to record screen and audio together
Download GiliSoft Screen Recorder Pro when the final video needs computer sound, microphone narration, or both, followed by practical audio work without sending the recording through several unrelated utilities.
- Capture computer sound and microphone in the same session
- Cut, join, add, remove, or reverse audio after recording
- Remove silence or create spoken audio from text when needed
Choose computer sound, microphone, or both
Set the audio source before the full recording starts. A short test is worth doing: confirm the intended source is active, speak at the level you will use, play representative system audio, and listen back before recording a long session.
Choose Computer sounds, Microphone, Computer and Mic, or None
Review MP3 format, bitrate, and sample-rate settings for audio output- Use computer sound for software playback, browser audio, demonstrations, and media
- Use microphone for narration, lessons, walkthroughs, and spoken explanations
- Use both when viewers must hear the application and the presenter together
- Use headphones when speaker output could be captured again by the microphone
Use the built-in Audio workspace after recording
Screen Recorder Pro does not stop when the capture ends. Its Audio workspace groups the tools most often needed to prepare narration, soundtrack files, and audio used by the finished screen video.
The Audio workspace includes cutting, joining, adding or removing audio, silence removal, reverse, text-to-audio, and related preparation toolsBatch Cutter
Remove unwanted openings, endings, pauses, or selected ranges from one or more audio files.
Joiner
Combine narration segments, lesson sections, music, or supporting sound into one ordered file.
Add/Remove Audio
Add a soundtrack to video, replace existing sound, remove audio, or limit the new audio to a chosen time range.
Silence Remove
Reduce long silent ranges in spoken material before the audio is reused or delivered.
Reverse
Create reversed audio for a specific editing effect or production requirement.
Text to Audio
Turn prepared text into spoken audio when a project needs generated narration rather than a microphone take.
Add, replace, or time audio in the finished video
Keep soundtrack changes tied to the picture
- Open the completed screen recording in Add/Remove Audio.
- Choose the audio file and decide whether it replaces or accompanies the existing sound.
- Set the start and end time when the audio belongs only in part of the video.
- Preview the transition into and out of the selected range.
- Export a short test before processing a long recording.
For spoken tutorials, keep narration intelligible first. Music and effects should support the explanation rather than compete with it.
Add, remove, or position an audio file within the screen recordingCommon screen recording and audio workflows
Record the application with microphone narration, cut retries, remove long silences, and add a corrected voice segment where necessary.
Capture application playback and on-screen action together, then replace an unsuitable soundtrack or add a short introduction.
Capture the session, extract the useful sections, and join selected audio or video segments into a shorter reference copy.
Record clean screen action without room noise, then add a prepared voiceover or text-generated audio after the visual edit is stable.
Check audio before the recording becomes difficult to redo
Confirm whether the project needs computer sound, microphone, both, or no audio.
Use the same microphone distance, application volume, and room conditions planned for the full session.
Check for clipping, very low speech, echo, fan noise, duplicate sound, and drift between picture and audio.
Review the opening, a middle section, every audio change, and the ending on the target playback device.
