I have a MacBook Air and I’m using a Behringer UFO202 to connect to my turntable to digitise my LPs. I have done this before, several years ago, and it worked fine. But this time I must be doing something wrong. In System Preferences - Sound - Input I can see the music playing, so it’s coming into the Mac. But I can’t get Audacity (which I just downloaded, so it’s the most recent version) to register anything to record. I’ve gone into Audio Settings and it’s set up with both Playback and Recording Device as USB Audio CODEC, Channels 2, Host: Core Audio, Project and Default Sample Rate 44100, Sample rate 16 bit. Where do I need to look for something that’s not connecting Audacity to the USB input on my Mac? I was getting error message 9997 but resolved that. No error messages now. Thanks!
I’m a Windows guy but check your Privacy/Security Settings.
Can’t find anything wrong there.
Finally! someone on the Mac Forum sorted it out. And DVDoug, you weren’t wrong! For anyone else who has this problem, you have to let Audacity have control over your computer. Scary? Yes, but it works. You need to add it to the list of programmes that can control your computer. You do this by going into Security & Privacy in System Preferences, click on Privacy, then scroll down to Accessibilty and add Audacity into the list of software in that pane and tick the box next to it.
However, on another matter, Audacity won’t play back through Bluetooth, so I can’t hear my recording through my nice speakers to assess quality, set levels, etc. Anyone know why Playback is only through the built-in speakers?
