recording self

Maybe this topic has been covered before (Search wasn't very forthcoming for me), but an update might at least be worthwhile.

I wish to record myself playing clarinet, both audio and video. It doesn't have to be professional quality. My goals are to a) hear and observe myself a different way, and b) post vids online to supplement comments I might make here or elsewhere.

I'm running Windows 10 on a PC. I have an adequate camera and microphone that connect and work. What I don't have is an application to make and save the recordings with.

Windows 10 has a "Camera" app built in, but after a half second of my playing the recorded volume reduces by about 50%. That effect repeats each time I pause and resume. I've fiddled settings for the app, the drivers, the computer, and the OS to my wit's end and googled to no avail. It does seem to be the app, since the little demos Skype lets one record don't cause the same problem. Otherwise, "Camera" would be fine, so if anyone knows a fix please let me know.

I've tried a couple other apps available online that seemed fine, but they only offer trial periods and then require purchase. That's probably what I'll end up doing, but first I'd like to know people's recommendations, if any.
