Decide whether you want to record the physical keyboard in the room, TapNoise’s generated playback, or both. Those are different demos and need different capture settings.
Make the method clear
A microphone hears the keyboard, speakers and room together. Direct system-audio capture records the software signal without the same room acoustics. Your recorder determines which sources are available.
Use a harmless scratch document, close private windows and disable unrelated notifications. Type the same short passage for every theme so the comparison is not dominated by different rhythms.
Check TapNoise’s quiet setting
If your recorder activates a microphone, Quiet during calls may pause TapNoise. For an intentional sound demo, inspect the setting and turn it off only if you want playback included.
Keep playback modest and avoid routing a monitored microphone back into speakers, which can create feedback. If you are recording only the software layer, make sure the recorder actually captures that layer before doing the full take.
Compare and label
Do not make one theme much louder merely to make it seem better. Listen to the test recording and describe the keyboard, output device and capture method alongside the clip.
For excluding sounds instead, see a quiet screen recording. If you simply want listeners to choose a theme, linking the interactive demo may be clearer than a heavily edited comparison video.
