![]() Sound Siphon is extremely visual, meaning even an idiot like me was able to configure it, in about 2 minutes. Since one of the Thunderports is a throughput, you can charge your Mac and the hub, giving the hub all the power you need, without a bulky adapter adding to the already huge mess of wires. If you click on the link, you’ll see how it fits perfectly with that generation of Macbook. My goal was to charge my MBP, have a port for my SB3, have 2 USB ports for webcams, and I lucked into this hub having an HDMI port. Since my MBP only has the 2 ports, this was a hurdle I had to get over first. What I’m using:Ģ018 MacBook Pro (only 2 Thunderbolt ports - get to that in a minute) I will break this down to how I did it for ME. There is another similar app that does exactly the same thing, and costs 1/2 as much - called Sound Siphon. ![]() This saves you a huge headache getting great audio.īy the way, just for the single Loopback plug in - its $100. You already have a huge leg up on a lot of people with more “portable” controllers", in the fact you have booth outputs. ![]() It really is more beneficial to controllers lacking a second output, which is kinda the whole point of the software, anyway. But you won’t need that for your controller. Loopback is a nice way of fixing a complicated problem. Are you wanting to add webcams? Or just straight audio stream to Mixcloud or Soundcloud? But ultimately it depends on the type of streaming you are doing. Something seemingly easy, is actually kinda complicated. Especially when using your iPhone/iPad/Android as your main streaming device. Watched the digitaldjtips tutorial and honestly, it didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. So now I'm sort of kicking myself for going through all of this trouble with a cheaper software when I could have just shelled a little extra cash earlier and gotten a more reliable product.Since WFH, I’ve had a lot of spare time on my hands, and researched a ton of options. It made no sense to me and was pissing me off so I said screw it and just got Loopback and it worked basically instantly. I'd have to fiddle with it unchecking and rechecking some boxes in Sound Siphon or in my aggregate audio device in MacOS and then it would just magically start capturing.Īnyway yesterday I spent hours trying to get Sound Siphon to work properly - it was capturing Zoom audio but not anything else. ![]() Getting it to capture Discord was also troublesome, just seemed random whether or not it would actually work. It never wanted to capture the audio from Chrome but would capture it from Firefox just fine. Problem is, I never could quite get Sound Siphon working perfectly. It basically does exactly what Soundflower/Loopback for Mac does, except it's only $30 for a license instead of $100. I was also using it to route the monitored audio from the DAW to a virtual audio device defined with Sound Siphon which I would use as the virtual mic so that remote guests could hear clips and stuff that I would play on my computer. I bought Sound Siphon nearly a year ago at this point and have been using it every week for a podcast in order to capture audio from different programs and route them to their own dedicated tracks in my DAW. Does anyone here use Sound Siphon and experience seemingly random, impossible to diagnose issues?
