I'll add another limitation of not only USB mixers/interfaces but of all mixers/interfaces - they do not accept USB mics or any other kind of USB inputs. So if you need the mixer/interface, get an XLR mic.

You can totally do that. What can you totally do - record the built-in microphone from the Soundflower input? You can do it if you are recording the built-in mic in some other application then using Rogue Amoeba LineIn to play that recording through the sound card. Do you have a method to do that u...

Unfortunately after trying to run it, I get a "wxWidgets Debug Alert" popup saying: '....srccommonwincmn.cpp(811): assert "wxAssertFailure" failed in wxWindowBase::DoSetWindowVariant(): unexpected window variant' followed by a huge call stack. The window then asks if I want to s...

I can't record stereo-mix with the WASAPI option, only the output of the speaker. What does that mean? WASAPI is meant for recording computer playback from any device, not just the built-in audio. You should at least try it, because (I think) it captures the sound before it gets to the sound card, ...

I had assumed that once the signal was in the digital domain there would be no need for level adjustment. The signal is digitised at its source to the correct level. It's digitised at the level it's received at, clipped or not. the samples are 24 bits [...] I'm looking for bit perfect audio. You wo...
