If start up audacity, I can still hear output on my headphones, but my Audacity’s recording meters are still flatlined. Level meters in the ID mixer ap do the Right Thing.
System Sound is set to use Audient for both input and output.
You want to record sound that comes out of your Mac? Not possible without additional software. For Mac Monterey you can use BlackHole. It is free software.
The Keylab 88 is a piano controller. It connects to the computer. It does not make sound on its own, or does not make the sounds that you want to record.
Pianoteq is a “virtual instrument” controlled by the Keylab keyboard.
Sound from Pianoteq goes out of the Mac into the Audient interface.
Your headphones are plugged into the Audient.
The sound is created by the Pianoteq virtual instrument.
In that case, mac-christian is correct. You are attempting to use Audacity to control sounds created in the computer, similar to recording the sound of a YouTube video.
I can HEAR what the audient is playing. So pianoteq is creating a digital sound sending it to the audient. which does A->D conversions and puts an analog signal on the headphones.
Ocenaudio just works.
Ok. Installed Blackhole
Configured mult-output as Blackhole and Audent named BH Audient Out.
Configured aggregate input as Blackhole and Audient. named BH Audient In
In each multi, audient is the first entry, blackhole the second.
In both Audient does NOT have drift correction. Blackhole DOES
In system preferences/sounds, I set input to aggregate device BH Audient IN
I set output to BH Audient Out.
Tests:
In Audio Midi setup Speaker configuration both speakers do the white noise.
Youtube plays through audient to headhphones/speakers.
Did a fresh install of Audient 3.7.1
Start it up.
