Capture
Capture is a multitrack live recording app for macOS that works with PreSonus mixers to record sessions quickly and prepare audio for later mixing.
What is Capture?
Capture is a native macOS multitrack recording application for live session capture and straightforward recording workflows. It is designed for musicians, engineers, and venue or rehearsal users who want to record performances quickly without the complexity of a full digital audio workstation. Capture focuses on getting audio from compatible PreSonus mixer setups into organized recording sessions, with tools for arming tracks, recording multiple inputs at once, and handling simple session playback and mixdown tasks. It is commonly used for concerts, practice sessions, virtual soundcheck preparation, and recording band performances for later editing or mixing in other software. PreSonus publishes Capture as part of its recording ecosystem for users who need fast setup and dependable live tracking on Mac.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Capture is legitimate music production software used for recording audio sessions. Access to audio hardware, microphones, connected mixers, and saved project files is normal for this kind of app. Removing it will not harm macOS, but you may lose access to Capture sessions and related workflow features until it is reinstalled. Keep backups of any recordings you want to preserve before deleting associated support files.
Recommendation: Keep Capture if you record with compatible PreSonus hardware or still open old recording sessions in it. If you no longer use it, you can remove the app, but save any session folders and exported audio first so you do not lose work you may want later.
