- capture the raw stereo signal coming out of your web browser.
- use the alternative SuperDirt audio engine. Read [this page](/learn/input-output/#oscsuperdirtstrudeldirt) to know more about it.
- capture the audio/video stream using a capture tool such as [OBS](<https://obsproject.com/fr>).
- don't record anything and code it again in front of your friends.
You will need an external audio editor/DAW such as Reaper/Audacity/Ardour, etc. Strudel itself does not have functionality for exporting stems / individual tracks to an audio or midi file.

## How can I record samples?
## How can I use my own samples?
You can use your own samples with Strudel. There are multiple ways to load your sample collection. Some methods are good for quick experimentation, some others are good to share your audio collection with other musicians:
There are multiple ways to load your sample collection. Some methods are good for quick experimentation, some others are good to share your audio collection with other musicians:
- Import folders [from the interface](/learn/samples/#from-disk-via-import-sounds-folder)
-
- Host your sound library e.g. on github and [load them from an URL](/learn/samples/#loading-custom-samples)
- Import folders [from the interface](/learn/samples/#from-disk-via-import-sounds-folder). These are stored locally in your web browser, and not uploaded.
- Serve a folder of samples locally using the [strudel 'sampler' commandline tool](https://strudel.cc/learn/samples/#from-disk-via-strudelsampler). This can be most reliable method, but requires [nodejs](https://nodejs.org) to be installed.
- Host your sound library online on the web and [load them from an URL](/learn/samples/#loading-custom-samples)
