Sound effects add depth, excitement, and professionalism to your content—whether you’re live streaming, podcasting, or editing videos. However, capturing clear, high-fidelity audio directly from your browser can be challenging without the right tools.

That’s where Dipper comes in.

With Dipper, you can record sound directly from your browser without relying on external microphones or complex setups. Follow this step-by-step guide to capture sound effects like a pro.

Step 1: Open Dipper and Select Your Browser as an Audio Source

Dipper allows you to capture audio from any running application, including your web browser. To get started:

1. Launch Dipper on your Mac.
2. In the Dipper menu, select your web browser (Chrome, Safari, or Firefox) as the audio source.
3. Make sure other unnecessary audio sources are muted to capture only the sound effects you need.

Step 2: Find the Sound Effects You Want to Capture

There are many great websites for royalty-free and high-quality sound effects, such as:

• Freesound.org – A huge library of user-submitted sound effects.
• Zapsplat.com – Free and premium high-quality SFX.
• BBC Sound Effects Library – A collection of professional-grade effects.

Once you find the sound effect you need, play the audio in your browser while Dipper is active.

Step 3: Record High-Quality Sound Without Background Noise

Dipper records directly from the source, meaning you won’t capture unwanted noise from your surroundings. To ensure the best quality:

• Set Dipper to record in 48kHz 24-bit stereo for studio-quality sound.
• Adjust the volume levels in your browser and Dipper to prevent clipping or distortion.
• Use Dipper’s panning feature to separate sound effects if capturing multiple audio sources.

Step 4: Export and Organize Your Sound Effects

Once you’ve recorded your sound effects, Dipper lets you export them in WAV, AIFF, or AAC formats—perfect for professional use.

• Save and label each file properly to easily find them later.
• Organize them into folders (e.g., “Nature Sounds,” “UI Clicks,” “Explosions”) for quick access.
• If needed, you can import them into audio editing software like Audacity or Adobe Audition for further refinement.

Step 5: Use Your Captured Sound Effects in Live Streams or Edits

Now that you’ve captured your sound effects, you can use them in:

• Live streams – Add real-time sound effects for engagement.
• Podcasts – Enhance storytelling with background sounds.
• Videos – Improve production quality with crisp, clear effects.

Because Dipper records in high fidelity, you won’t have to worry about poor audio quality or compression artifacts.
