Which Microphones Can You Use?

- Your Mac’s built-in microphone
- An external USB microphone
- Any other connected audio input device
- Your phone’s microphone
Switching between these takes the same few clicks, so you can match the microphone to whatever you’re recording (a quick voice memo, a podcast segment, or a cleaner take with dedicated hardware).

Once you stop recording, your audio appears right away as an editable waveform inside NeonWaves. There’s no need to export the file or open a separate app, you can start editing immediately, including:
- Cutting and trimming your recording
- Making it louder
- Reducing background noise
- Transforming the sound completely with effects
- And so much more

Changing your microphone in NeonWaves takes seconds: open Devices in Settings, pick your input, and hit record. Whether you’re using a USB microphone, another input device, or your phone, your recording is ready to edit the moment you’re done! No exporting and no switching apps.
