How to Record Audio Only with oCam
On the main screen of oCam, click the Audio Recording tab to open a simple, user-friendly menu. This menu provides various recording options in oCam, allowing users to adjust the settings as needed. One of oCam's strengths is its intuitive interface, which makes it easy to use for everyone from beginners to IT professionals.
You can use this feature whenever you want to record only audio, such as for creating audio content, recording podcasts, or capturing background music.
Click the Sound button to choose the audio source, such as system sound or microphone input settings, and then click the Record button on the screen to start recording. This feature is very useful for tasks where you need to focus only on audio. For example, it is efficient when you want to extract lecture audio separately, record an interview, or make a simple voice recording. Thanks to oCam's simple controls, these settings can be changed in just a few clicks, making the user experience even more convenient.
By default, audio files are saved in MP3 format. MP3 is one of the most widely used formats for audio recording because it offers small file sizes and excellent compatibility with most devices and software. It provides a good balance between sound quality and file size, making it suitable for general use. However, for users with more specific needs, oCam also provides an option to select audio codecs other than MP3 through the Codec button. If you choose AAC format, you can maintain high sound quality with efficient compression, giving you more flexibility depending on your project.
These settings clearly show how simple yet powerful oCam is. oCam is more than just a screen recording tool. It is versatile software that also supports professional audio recording tasks. Users can further adjust details such as the file save location, audio quality, and input source in the oCam settings menu. For example, you can adjust the volume levels of the microphone and system sound separately, or specify a save folder to optimize your workflow. Thanks to this flexibility and convenience, oCam is widely used in many different environments, from individual users to IT professionals. If you want high-quality audio recordings, it is recommended to adjust the codec and detailed settings to match your working environment for the best results.

How to Buy Apple Products Cheaply (Latest Tips)
Apple products (iPhone, MacBook, iPad, Apple Watch, etc.) are known for being expensive, but if you use discount programs, promotions, and used-device options, you can buy them at about 5~20% off in many cases.
Here are practical ways to do it.
If youโre a student, prioritize education discounts first.
The best option is to use Appleโs official education store, which students, new university students, and school staff can use right away.

The next option is to buy through Costco and get reward points at the same time.
There are other methods too. See the details below.
- Use the education discount store (student/teacher discount, up to 15% off)
If youโre a university student, graduate student, teacher, or school staff member, you can buy Mac and iPad with a discount at the official Apple education store. For example, a MacBook Air with a regular price of about $929 can be around $776, about a 10~15% discount.
How to do it: Go to the Apple education store โ upload student ID or enrollment certificate โ purchase. Parent-purchase on behalf of the student is also possible.
Tip: Bundle discounts for Apple Pencil or keyboards may also apply.
- Apple Trade In (trade-in used devices for about $67~$334 in credit)
If you return an existing Apple device (iPhone, iPad, etc.), you can receive credit toward a new purchase.
Example: iPhone 14 can get about $201 in credit.
How to do it: Enter your device details on the Trade In page โ check the quote โ submit online or in-store. Credit can be applied immediately or received as a gift card.
Tip: Credit is usually higher when the battery condition is good. Trading in an older model right after a new iPhone launch is often more favorable.
- Buy from the Refurbished Store (15~20% off, Apple-certified pre-owned)
These are refurbished by Apple from returned/repaired units, are close to new in condition, and include a 1-year warranty. The latest models may not always be available, but previous generations are usually cheaper.
How to do it: Check the Apple Refurbished Store. Example: MacBook Pro M2 at about a 20% discount from the regular price.
- Use online shopping promotions (Costco, etc., 5~10% card discounts)
Buy iPhone, AirPods, and other products during sales on Coupang and similar platforms. Waiting 1~2 months after launch often allows opportunistic coupon stacking for extra savings.
Costco: Apple event promotions can offer about 5% off, and with Hyundai Card you can earn 3% points on purchases of $334 or more.
How to do it: Search โApple saleโ in Coupang โ join Rocket WOW membership ($3.34/month) for free shipping and discounts.
Black Friday (November) are strong timing opportunities. You can also check real-time sale alerts on X.
- International shopping (Amazon, Japan Apple Store, usually 10~20% cheaper)
If exchange rates are favorable, buying in the U.S. or Japan can help. Apple stores in Japan may be cheaper due to tax refund options.
How to do it: Check unlock status and buy unlocked devices on Amazon/eBay. Be sure to account for shipping and customs tax (13%)โimports under $67 may be exempt.
Tip: A day-trip โairfare + shoppingโ strategy can also work, especially when the yen is weak.
