Hi!
I use BlackHole : GitHub - ExistentialAudio/BlackHole: BlackHole is a modern macOS virtual audio driver that allows applications to pass audio to other applications with zero additional latency.
download ishowu audio capture
When you use macOS Catalina's built-in screen recording you'll get audio only from the microphone. If you want to record the audio coming out of the system and apps, you'll need to install a third-party extension. One company provides an extension for free that you can use with their software or just with macOS QuickTime screen recording.
Fantastic! Can't wait to try it. I am helping seniors with Apple devices and now, in these days of quarantine, this will allow me to create videos with accompanying audio in order to help them deal with problems on their devices.
I followed your directions using Blackhole as the audio capture software (also free) and it didn't allow me to hear sound in two places. I finally found an obscure note that when you set up the Multi-Output Device, you have to list the audio capture as the second choice and not the first. That solved the problem.
In the Midi Audio Devices window, on your video I see your Sample Rate is 48.0kHz whereas mine is set to 44,100Hz. Could that be a factor in these instructions not working for me and others? Guess I answered my own question: changed it for iShowU but it still failed to capture audio
Hi Gary - I've been using iShowU for years in order to capture videos online that I need for resume purposes. With this latest upgrade of iMac, it still works fine but I was looking into using QuickTime because of other audio conflicts, in order to disconnect from iShowU. So in my case, I have all the elements (assuming yes) but I cannot get QT to function and record the browser audio. My case is slightly different than the others. Should I review another tutorial?
Thanks for the tutorial. I now can record audio as well as video. The limitation is that the audio does not include what I say, speaking into my microphone. The use case: I do zoom calls and have participants role play. I record the role play and then show it so we can review it together. My problem is that if I speak during the role play, my voice is not recorded. The zoom recording feature does not do what I need, as you have to wait until after the call to access it. Ideas?
iShowU is designed to record screen actions on your computer and it does so with a number of easy-to-set options and a robust back-end that helps you customize resolution, file size and output type. The result is a powerful, effective screen capture tool that's perfect for gaming and tutorial videos, alike.
When you first open iShowU, you'll be prompted to give control of your computer to the software. It's unnerving at first, but it only needs to access things like mouse animations to show them onscreen during video recording. By having access to mouse data, it can make files smaller. The interface of the app is a bit jumbled, but everything you need is on one screen. You can choose the video type, size, encoding, and other factors like frame rate, audio levels, input devices, etc. It's a fantastically diverse set of options that allows you to create some solid files, with presets for things like Blip.TV, Vimeo, YouTube, and even World of Warcraft. The entire process takes only a couple of seconds to set up, and it is very \"share\" friendly, recording in smaller file sizes.
If you need a basic video creator for screen capture on your Mac, consider iShowU. The app is free to try and costs $20 to upgrade if you continue to use it after the trial expires, and while not the most attractive or even the most powerful screen capture tool for Mac, it does offer one of the biggest bangs for its buck out there. It's a solid, well-made tool and one that you'll enjoy using quite a bit.

In the push to go digital, many have turned to two popular tools; OBS and Zoom for handling livestreams. For macOS users it is surprisingly difficult to capture desktop and zoom audio. This article is a step-by-step guide for capturing desktop audio and also audio from a zoom call in OBS.
Thanks for sharing this walkthrough. I thought this setup was as easy as plug & play. I started a Facebook Live stream yesterday from Zoom to OBS. Guest audio was muted the whole streaming and I was frustrated.
Hello all,
There was some discussion in the Syphon Virtual Webcam - Questions & Assistance thread about audio-routing software and it was getting a bit off-topic from the original purpose of the thread so I decided to move the discussion into its own thread.
I compiled what everyone listed and added my own contributions. I can update this if anyone has anything to add. I've personally used SoundFlower and iShowU Audio Capture for projects. I did some brief testing with Loopback and Sound Siphon this morning (and if I did more audio work than I do I'd choose Loopback over Sound Siphon even though it's twice as expensive).
Cost: $100 (Free demo version but degrades audio after a short period of time)
Pro: Node-based UI, intuitive, and robust, Bonemap said: Using Loopback allows a very direct and therefore quick workflow for setting up audio on the Mac operating system.
Pro: Can try out free demo version
Pro: Virtual audio devices and source mixing
Pro: Allows output routing
Con: Expensive
Con: bonemap said: It does override the Mac OS system preferences for sound routing. Therefore, going back to system preference settings can, at times, appear to be unresponsive.
Notes: bonemap said: I did invest in Loopback, despite the high price tag, and it has provided efficiency and simplicity when working with multiple audio sources. It offers a simple node based user interface. There are three elements to the UI laid out from left to right 1/ Virtual sound device 2/ current audio sources - active applications 3/ audio output routing. Each node has a level slider control. [...] At the time no other software utility offered integration of the three functions described. [...] I have used the Loopback utility on a daily basis and it has saved a lot of time routing audio for different workflows on the fly. I can recommend the software if, like me, you are constantly re routing audio equipment to accommodate different activities over the course of a day.
This audio discussion originally started on the forum thread for help with the Syphon Virtual Webcam app but I've moved the audio discussion here so that it can continue without changing the topic of that thread.

woland yes I did ! But what I want to avoid is OBS if is possible. The set up im trying is Skype-Isadora-Zoom. mc_monte perhaps you can point me in the right direction. Maybe is needed that paid software for audio routing that mark mentioned in his last session but I cant remember it.
Maybe you can show us an approach of using loopback with the following configuration: Skype-Isadora-Zoom
best way to route the audio from skpype and mix with it with pre-recorded audio from the movie player in Isadora and finally enter to Zoom. And if it is not too much to ask, explain what will happen to the audio in Loopback after 20 minutes. If perhaps it is a question of audio quality but not of delay, the use of Loopback in free mode can be considered, since $ 100 dollars may be too much for many of us.
Many thanks
Best,
maxi

At the time no other software utility offered integration of the three functions described. However, Blackhole is free and allows virtual sound device in/out, but it does not have a user interface (similar to Soundflower). Audio Siphon, not free but lower cost, it is a node based interface that provides virtual audio devices and source mixing, but does not provide control of output routing.
Pro- Using Loopback allows a very direct and therefore quick workflow for setting up audio on the Mac operating system.
Con- It does override the Mac OS system preferences for sound routing. Therefore, going back to system preference settings can, at times, appear to be unresponsive. Con- the price is unusually high for a simple utility software.
