Setting up Soundflower
Setting up Soundflower
I'm running Yosemite 10.10.5 and while in Live I can set Audio for an aggregate device (device output plus Soundflower), no other programs (like Quicktime) seem to recognize the Sound flower input. I've gone into the Preferences and Audio Midi Setup and made necessary settings, but still no luck. Is this a known problem or am I missing something?
EDIT: Searching elsewhere I've confirmed this is an issue with Yosemite. I have installed kuwatec Audio Loopback instead and that is working fine.

Interestingly I gave up and got Rouge Amoeba's Loopback instead. Saves me a lot of trouble.jcrystal wrote: EDIT: Searching elsewhere I've confirmed this is an issue with Yosemite. I have installed kuwatec Audio Loopback instead and that is working fine.
Soundflower was nice once (last time for me in 10.6), but on 10.11 El Capitan this now seems over.

Re: Setting up Soundflower
After a certain version, the operation of Soundflower changed somewhat.
I think you used to have to look at a flower icon on the upper part of your screen, mess with sound preferences and adjust your input.
I think now SoundFlower works more in the background and If I remember most of it just involves setting up your audio inputs in Live to a Soundflower input, and going into system preferences and changing your audio playback to play through Soundflower.
That is pretty much it.
Sometimes you have to raise your buffers when recording or you can get pops and clicks.

yup that's how i use it on El Cap (using latest Soundflower 2.0b2) - works fine, no need for the old soundflowerbed app.jlgrimes wrote:I think now SoundFlower works more in the background and If I remember most of it just involves setting up your audio inputs in Live to a Soundflower input, and going into system preferences and changing your audio playback to play through Soundflower.

Interesting, that does not seem to work in Yosemite

You need to be more specific as there is no official 2.0b2: RogueAmoeba/Soundflower-Original.garyboozy wrote: yup that's how i use it on El Cap (using latest Soundflower 2.0b2) - works fine, no need for the old soundflowerbed app.
Did you build it yourself? If not, whose 2.0b2 build is this?

In my experience you get distortion after some hours of use. That's why I stopped using it. It has nothing to do with buffers.jlgrimes wrote: Sometimes you have to raise your buffers when recording or you can get pops and clicks.
