DOT Audio Recorder
DOT Audio Recorder is an audio recorder that captures internal Mac sound and detects its key, BPM, and chords.
DOT Audio Recorder is a utility for music producers and creators that captures internal audio playing on a Mac. Users press a shortcut to record sound from a browser, music app, or plugin without needing virtual audio drivers like BlackHole. Each recording is automatically trimmed, analyzed for key and BPM, and mapped with chords for every half bar. The app allows users to drag clips directly into digital audio workstations and export chords as MIDI files. It runs locally on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 14.4 or later.
