Recording can be tricky. You need something stable which can run steadily, even if your connection is flaky. Also, if you have any microphone problems - and plug in your earphones, how do you think it will work out? And finally video or audio recording will end up taking a lot of memories on your computer - how to deal with that?

1️⃣ Use Quicktime player

• Sure Loom is great and I love the product
• However, treatment takes a while — and any flaky connection might screw up your entire recording
• Quicktime player has no fancy collaborating features - however, it just work perfectly for doing one thing: recording. +No username/password last minute problem if you happen not to use SSO or Lastpass

2️⃣ Install Soundflower to avoid the problem of plugging earphones during the interview

• The best way to reproduce this problem is to play a song on your mac, start an audio recording, plug your earphones - and after some sec - stopping the recording. The part when you had your earplugs on come silent. Imagine with interview instead of music.
• Download Soundflower signed (from here)
  • If you are on Catalina, be careful it will fail at first (explained in link above)
  • Go to Security > General and click on Allow - run installer again
• Create a multi output and an Aggregate from Audio Midi configs - so that you can still hear your interviewee
