As the title says.

I am looking for a trusted and safe Windows 10 screen recorder that can capture what ever is happening on a screen from my DAW, and as my audio interface is Asio, can capture sound from the asio?

I know a lot of Gamers are able to capture game play and so on but I want to capture my DAW

So many show up in a google search and I do not know what ones are good, bad or trustworthy.

Dont care if its a commercial app or free.

I'm asking as this is something I have not needed before.

Many thanks?

 

OBS

 

Frindelek is speaking about OBS Studio.
Open Broadcaster Software.
Free and open source software for video recording and live streaming.
Works on Windows, Mac or Linux.

Ice Cream Screen capture is pretty nice and easy to use.

 

Does it also record the sound from ASIO interface?

 

If what you're doing is getting trickier in an audio routing-recording sense, e.g., recording the audio from both a microphone and a DAW output into a screen recorder (i.e., any screen recorder with an audio input), consider working with voicemeeter to sort out the audio routing issues.
e.g., https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/banana.htm

I Recommend Bandicam. Easy Interface and it has a good compression which makes the Videofiles much smaller as Camtasia etc.

And here is an tutorial on how to record your asio devices with Bandicam and Voicemeter.

 

As far as I know this would be my list if I was the OP:
1. OBS Studio: free, trustworthy and it has almost direct support for ASIO. A plugin maybe, don't remember exactly

The other two that doesn't support ASIO directly but you can manage with that mentioned vbaudio program:
2. Bandicam: a beast. Undisputed king of velocity. It's just incredible how fast it is
3. Camtasia: a bit too much but the best if you want to do medium-heavy editing after the recording

 

It's been awhile since I used it but I think it does.

 

Thanks everyone for the suggestion's.

OBS was just what I needed.

 

Thanks for that recommendation - just tried it - agree it's nice and easy to use.

Can't agree with this though
Audio playback devices (on W7) have a setting "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"
Even with that setting disabled, once you have an application using ASIO as its driver, IceCream recorder fails to capture Audio.
So it's just like most other recorders. Use something like MME as audio driver and it's fine, but choose ASIO and you're screwed.
Xupito's summary above remains intact.
OBS + its ASIO plugin
or
Any screen recorder + virtual drivers found in Voicemeeter.

Viocemeeter (or Banana) are great and easy to setup, and work with any screen recording sw.
However with ASIO in my system added a bit of latency, enough to be revealed by ear.

Odeus Asio Link Pro (ASIO router) on the other side seems not to have that issue, basically AFAIK is (cracked) abandonware, it is very powerful, it can route anything into anything, but it takes a while to learn it and to exploit all its potential.

 

Yes, you can add only VST2.X Plugins

 

Just enjoying exploring all these recommendations.
Have now verified the following...

• working with devices that prefer to use ASIO drivers (instruments, DAWs, etc) - and can be several at once,
• all simultaneously routing through Odeus Asio Link Pro (ASIO router)
  
• audio-visually capturing the entire chaos using Ice Cream recorder.
• Superb ASIO flexibility

Re: @orbitbooster's caution about Odeus Asio Link Pro

that caution needs updating to "your brain will melt more than the Ice Cream"
but apart from that - eventually - this all works really well.
Was worth the effort, and after the initial brain-melt period getting it all set up, it's actually simple and quick to use.

Haven't yet ventured into the networking capabilities of Odeus Asio Link Pro
but that looks like a very promising bonus - one day.

 

Voxengo Recorder free
Recorder Plugin

Recorder is an utility audio VST plugin which allows you to record the output of the channel or bus into the stereo WAV file of specified bit depth. Routing to MME (multimedia extensions) soundcard is also supported.

www.voxengo.com/product/recorder/features/

 

That's a great 'cheap and cheerful' plugin - does what it's supposed to do very well.
Or go nuts and use Melda MRecorder which is the same solution 'on steroids'.

These are definitely great utilities but why use them here?
You just end up with the extra hassle of having to merge your recorded silent video with your separately recorded audio.
That's no big deal - use a video editor - but still a waste of time. Better solutions (above) just record it all in one go - done.

 

Now that I think of it, if low latency is not important you can always set the windows sound device to "what you hear" (or equivalent).
Then you set your DAW to use WASAPI/Windows audio and easy as fuck, any program can record that.
I did this once for a Kontakt mini video tut.
