How to Record Audio from a Movie Trailer on Mac OS X with iRecordMusic for Mac?

1. Launch iRecordMusic

2. Visit http://www.apple.com/trailers in the iRecordMusic browser window

3. Select a movie trailer. For this example, we'll pick 'Phantom Of The Opera'. Select the 'small' trailer as this requires less bandwidth, will load quicker, and we are only interested in the audio, not the video.

4. Pause the QuickTime player to stop playing the trailer. Open iRecordMusic preferences, and change the Recording options, so that recordings will split only when audio starts or stops. We will record the entire audio track of the trailer as one file, from start to finish.

5. Select the 'Record' option in iRecordMusic and enter relevant information as shown.

Click 'Okay' and notice how the browser button turns yellow, indicating that iRecordMusic is waiting for audio to record. Move the movie player to the start and press play. As soon as audio begins to play, the browser button turns red, and starts to record.

6. Wait for the trailer to end. The browser button will turn yellow as it waits for more audio. You many manually stop, or wait. After around 30 seconds (as set in the preferences), iRecordMusic will automatically stop, and finish processing the recording and add it to iTunes.

7. Congratulations! You've just made another recording with iRecordMusic!
