The output can go to either the headphones or the speakers connected to the Line Out of my Mac Pro. one can even record simultaneously in different formats (not shown in this setup). This setup allows me to adjust the volume, meter for proper signal level and optionally record to many different audio formats. The source for the Line In is the Line Out of a Sonos Connect. The first setup uses Line In as the input device. I have included three screenshots of different setups I made with Hijack and Loopback, the two images with the dark background were made with Audio Hijack.

Start your trial with Audio Hijack I think it will do what you want and much more. ACE is a low latency virtual device like Soundflower or Jack.Īudio Hijack and Loopback can be used together if you need to route audio through multiple applications or multiple channels and utilize the features of Audio Hijack.
I should also mention that both programs use the same ACE audio device which is used in Loopback to create one or more virtual audio devices. Loopback cannot store different setups as a session, record, broadcast or stream, schedule, meter, provide built in audio effects or signal processing that is included in Audio Hijack. Starting with Loopback the difference is that is allows routing audio for multichannel setups between applications with no physical wires and can do so with multiple loopback modules. Interesting that you are seeing different pricing in Norway. Generally speaking you have a choice of paying for someone else's expertise or spending hours of one's own time becoming an expert to master freeware which may have no to little documentation and often does not have continuity with Apple's OS X changes.įrom the USA the Rogue Amoeba website pricing for Audio Hijack is $59 and Loopback is $99. It takes many hours to just read and understand his papers on the design of Core Audio. There are 3 papers which were written years about Core Audio by a sound engineer for his masters degree documenting the architecture of Core Audio and explaining how it all works. I spent many hours learning the freeware programs and making getting them to work often finding that they did not get revised and became inoperative when OS X changed.
Rogue Amoeba is charging what I would say are reasonable prices for programs that require much system knowledge, skill in programming and provide user documentation, maintainence and user support.
#Soundflower rogue amoeba manuals
They have a high learning curve, they are not intuitive and have no user manuals to speak of. I have used Soundflower, Jack, Linein and their interfaces are not function oriented. audio routing for output recording, inter application audio routing, etc. Unfortunately common audio functions that casual users want to do are not exposed in the Mac user interface, e.g. Mac Core Audio is designed to handle multiple MIDI channels among its many talents. You can set up to 16 audio channels using Blackhole, one for each of e.g. I suppose this whole re-routing thing is complex to begin with, so no wonder Rogue Amoeba is cashing in if they've managed to simplify the user interface for this.Ĭan someone explain what the "BlackHole 16 ch" option (and a similar option for Soundflower as far as I remember) is for? And what exactly does the "Audio MIDI setup" app do when you press the + button for "Create aggregate device" and "Create multi-output device"? It turned out to be just as complex as Soundflower IMHO but the instructions were clearer and easier to understand. Then I came across this AlternativeTo Soundflower page which mentioned among others BlackHole which is also free. I gave it another go now, but it seemed overly complicated. Actually I'm not sure if it does anything other than what holding down the ALT key while clicking the "speaker" icon in the menu bar does (one of Apple's (well known?) "secrets"):īrianBaughn: I remember actually having used this several years ago (PPC Mac I think) but it was quite cumbersome.

Dataid: I couldn't find out how to use LineIn to record the Mac's audio.
