+1 for OBS and Shotcut. At a minimum, software I installed has to be
a) Open source licensed
b) Available as binaries for Windows, Linux and MacOS that don't
trigger Windows' "unknown source" warnings.

About 8-9 years ago I attempted to record video
and on-board sound along with
an external microphone. There were two programs I tried, Record My Desktop,
and (I think) Simple Screen Recorder.
I couldn't get either of them to manage the microphone, and only one to include
stereo audio - and even that was a struggle (can't remember which one).
I'm wondering what the current situation is for the best possible prospect of
doing this. I won't be using a camera, but want to be able to use a microphone
for voiceover, so that of course would be mono.
Also I envisage doing this in comparatively short sections, then stitching
them all together afterwards to make a seemingly continuous vid.
Can anyone make suggestions. The kit I'll be using will have an earlier 4 core
AMD Ryzen, with a reasonably modern Radeon GPU card and connected to an M-Audio
Mtrack 8.
OBS Studio is pretty good for pasting together several sources
(including application windows) into one or several "scenes" and then
recording (or streaming, or injecting into a videoconference via
v4l2loopback device) a sequence of live sources embedded into switched
scenes.
Check out <https://youtu.be/Vn1f70IH-Es?t=755> for some stuff where I
pasted commentary over the slides of a presentation and then did a
mix-in commentary with a preexisting video, bringing in various (live)
application windows to illustrate what I am talking about.
While several such passages (and the transitions) were done with OBS
Studio, the final output was then stitched together using Shotcut. Also
the live commentary was overlong and I had numerous excursions into
irrelevant matter: cutting stuff out from the original OBS Studio take
was also done in Shotcut.
