DAW app (Reaper) connected to aggregate device picks up the input from the Soundflower channels, does the speaker management, and routes the final output to the Apogee. OS audio routed to Soundflower (on channels 1-6). Aggregate device of my interface (Apogee Rosetta800 192k) + Soundflower. Soundflower (a virtual audio device) is installed. I do the speaker management digitally using Reaper as a 'plugin'. The speaker array in this example is a small top 5.1 setup (5 mains that do highs/mids only with speaker management required to split out the bass content from the mains and route it to the Lfe combined with the original Lfe channel). It's just me in my listening room and no live audience, so occasional faux pas aren't a big deal and usually don't happen anyway. I also use one of my machines and interfaces for home theater needs and this is where I decided to play a little fast and loose with the rules for convenience. Everything is perfect and I have wildly overpowered machines for my needs.

I would look elsewhere.Sanity check welcome! Or just read if you like Sunday morning puzzles.įor professional audio work, I use standard practices as far as interface connections, clocking, etc go. Audacity does work, but its peculiarities and irritations outweigh any advantages. And lets you name files as you want– spaces and all.įor basic recording, it’s the only way to go.įor more complex, multi-track adventures, including the ability to trim, etc. No, turns out you do all that through Apple’s own QuickTime Player! Yes, it’s called “player” but it records like a champ. I had gotten it because I thought I needed some other program to record messages, bird songs, etc. It will indicate that a file could not be saved, yet it will change the name of the window you are looking at. It will balk at exporting files in its different formats–in a seemingly arbitrary fashion. It will repeatedly claim that you have no disk space for saving, even when you have scores of gigs. It does NOT permit spaces in file names– you will forever will be pressing space and the file will start playing! Arrgghh!

Refer to Audacity’s documentation for an explanation of it’s advanced features.Īudacity is marvelous at one level a complete pain and irritation at another. It has a steeper learning curve than QuickTime’s audio recording feature, but it is far more powerful and better suited for longer recordings where editing is needed. You can find a version that is backwards compatible with macs running much older versions of OS X. It is a powerful recorder, editor, and converter.

How about a free app for recording as well as editing sound? You can also try the free and open source Audacity sound recorder. However, audio recording was a paid feature of QuickTime Pro.

Note: QuickTime 7 is also built into earlier versions of Mac OS X. This is overkill in most situations, and file compatibility is limited. The Maximum quality setting saves AIFC files using PCM S24 codec and produces rather large files. This is good balance of quality, file size and file compatibility. The High quality setting records M4A files with variable bitrate using the AAC code. Newer Macs have only the Microphone available as the audio source.

Older Macs will generally have two input sources: Build-in Microphone and a Line-in from the 3.5mm jack.

Microphone volume is adjustable with the slider under the record button.

You may click on the Down Arrow next to the record button to select your sound input (microphone) and sound Quality settings.You will see a very simple user interface with sound recording controls.Open the File menu and select New Audio Recording.Open QuickTime Player from your Applications folder.
