Recording thru mixer in 2.4

Post by Tom.C.Fuller.Sr. » Thu May 14, 2020 9:34 pm

I'm trying out 2.4. I'm able to record through the mike on the Mac. When I hook up my computer to my Yamaha MG10XU mixer via USB cord, in the Mac System Preferences>Audio the MG-XU shows up under both Input and Output. However, in Audacity Preferences>Devices, it does not, on either Playback Device or Recording Device. When I record, my voice is recorded on the Mac internal mike. Any suggestions why Audacity doesn't recognize the mixer? Using OS 10.15.4. Thanks. --Tom in Texas

In Audacity, try Transport (menu) > Rescan Audio Devices.

Never mind... I started over, hooked up my mixer first, and then opened Audacity. Duh.
