I’m aware of the incompatibility between Audacity and Mac OS Catalina and the documented workaround for it:
Go to Applications>Utilities>Terminal. Launch Terminal app. In Terminal dialog type:
open/Applications/Audacity.app/Contents/MacOS/Audacity
This will open Audacity and then Terminal will actually ask for the correct permissions.
I have indeed tried this many times. The problem that I’m having is that when I get to this step I don’t have an option to switch back to my external microphone. My Mac locks it to MacBook Microphone and MacBookSpeakers with NO option to toggle to my Scarlett USB microphone/ Scarlett Speakers.
Does anyone have a solution? I’ve looked through YouTube but, most tutorials don’t mention this issue. Thanks!
