You'll now hear it in the speakers and it will be sent to the system input, to be used by other programs. soundflower requires a kernel extension to work. Note: If you see a warning saying that Soundflower cannot be opened due to your Security Preferences, right-click or control-click over the PKG file and choose Open, then choose Open again. Step 2: In the DMG itself, double-click the PKG file.

The other output goes to another splitter which combines with the main output and goes to audio I/O 1+2 (the speakers). To install Soundflower: Step 1: Double-click the downloaded DMG file to mount it.One output goes to audio I/O 5+6, which is Sunflower 64(ch), the system default input.Route the new bus output into an audio splitter.Leave the input to the first input on the sound card. You don't really need a virtual audio cable to do any of this if you have a built in soundcard like a realtek HD or so on, you just go to mixer and change the record source to master, this will record whatever is playing out of the master channel of the built in interface, quite a lot (Most in fact) of add on audio interfaces offer the same built in functionality too.(Outputs 5 and 6 would just get sent to output 1-2 anyway by Jack so might as well not enable them in Reason.) Set the Active Output Channels to use your sound card's outputs and the ones from Soundflower (64ch).Open up the DMG for the installer (the one you just downloaded) Run the Soundflower package installer by double clicking it and following through the prompts.

Soundflower install driver#

Launch /Applications/Utilities/Audio Midi Setup. Install the new driver The first step is to Download version Soundflower 1.6.6b.

Set the Active Input Channels to use your sound card's inputs and the ones from Soundflower (2ch). Go to System Preferences > Sound > Output and select Soundflower (2ch) as the output device.

It comes with an easy-to-use menu bar app that allows you to configure the settings and send the audio signal to specific devices.

Set the audio device to the aggregated device that you created. Soundflower is a macOS kernel extension that creates virtual audio input and output devices which can be used to transfer a sound signal between various applications.

Create a new aggregate device with your sound card (or the Mac's built-in input and output if you don't have a sound card), Soundflower (2ch), and Soundflower (64ch).

Set Soundflower (64ch) as the default for sound input.

Set Soundflower (2ch) as the default for sound output and sound effects.

In other words, if you send audio to Soundflower (64ch)'s 48th output channel, then the audio is available at the Soundflower (64ch)'s 48th input channel. Soundflower gives you two new audio devices: Soundflower (2ch) and Soundflower (64ch).Īny audio that you send to a Soundflower output gets routed back to its respective input. Create a new folder /Applications/Soundflower and put the readme and uninstaller there because that's where you'll likely look first if you ever want to uninstall it :)

Soundflower install mac#

Configure the Mac to use it in the Mac Audio MIDI setup preferences.Īfter running the installer, there will be no program created in /Applications but a window will open that contains a readme and an uninstaller.
