The recording is stereo if the input device supports it, otherwise mono. ■ FAQ ‣ How can I record system audio? Click “Record System Audio” in Recordia and follow the instructions. ‣ How can I preview the recording when done? First, ensure the “Show recording in Finder after saving” preference is enabled.

This is absolutely accessible and simple! works 100% with VoiceOver, and I have access to recording, pausing/resuming, etc. Please continue to enhance it's accessibility with VoiceOver in future updates.

I was worried about the black hole sound plug in but after the developers contacted me I realized I was mistakenly associating the name with malware. This is a good safe app. Thanks

Developer Response
Apps in the App Store are not able to record system audio. The only way to do it is using an audio driver like BlackHole. BlackHole is the best and most popular choice for this and trusted by thousands of users and many large projects. I think you're confusing this audio driver with a known virus by the same name (yes, the name is unfortunate). I would urge you to do some more research on this topic. The BlackHole audio driver has been positively reviewed by many large Mac news outlets: https://www.cultofmac.com/681197/blackhole-mac-virtual-audio-driver/
