Recently had to upgrade to the 64 bit Catalina OS. Although previously I could record from online audio, I cannot configure Audacity 2.4.2 to even monitor input. My old settings don't seem to work. I'm also using the Soundflower app, no version # available. Can anyone provide help in the set-up?
I'm running an iMac 21.5 inch screen, Late 2013 .

Re: Audacity & OS catalina 10.15.6
The old Soundflower app does not work on Catalina. There is a new version available here (but I have not tried it and have no idea if it works reliably): https://github.com/mattingalls/Soundflo ... /tag/2.0b2
To record in Audacity on Catalina, you have to give Audacity access to the "microphone" (meaning all and any audio input) in the Mac's security settings (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/m ... b1e1fe/mac)

Side note: The older iShowU driver for self-recording is being changed into SWB Audio Capture, which is in turn only available inside the iShowU Apps. Full Stop.
We have every wish for Soundflower's success.

Re: Audacity & OS catalina 10.15.6
Hello. Just browsing the forum and came across this. Presently I use IShowUAudioCapture, will I have to change back to Soundflower? This is Mac 10.14.6 and Audacity 2.4.2.
I am contemplating finally upgrading to Catalina and info on that was the object of my browsing.
