Kdenlive record audio-only voiceover?

I would like to record a voiceover for a video sequence using Kdenlive. When I click the Clip Monitor tab, uncheck Video, check Audio, and then press the Record button, I am getting an error:

Capture crashed, please check your parameters

I don't want a video recording from my webcam or screen. What parameters/settings do I need to record only audio?

Solution

  • It turns out this feature is made simple with Kdenlive 19.04 (I was running 18.10).

    1. install Kdenlive 19.04+
    2. right click any audio track
    3. click "Show Record Controls"
    4. press the "Record" circle

    This will record stereo audio, which can be mixed to mono using the Audio correction plugin called "Copy Channels".
