Unrelated update: my book is out! Debugging Your Brain is an applied psychology / self-help book
Scenario: You want to talk with someone over google hangouts (like for a user study), and you want to record BOTH:
- the system output audio (from them)
- the microphone audio (from you)
(screenshots below in a comment)
brew cask install soundflower
(if you don't have/use brew
, then google soundflower
and install it from their site~)
This is for Quicktime to be able to record audio from both you and the other person.
- open the OSX system app
Audio Midi Setup
Create Aggregate Device
- Include both inputs:
Built-in Microphone
Soundflower (2ch)
- Name this one
Dual Input for Quicktime
(optional)
This is so both you and quicktime (via the aggregate device
^) can hear what's going on.
- open the OSX system app
Audio Midi Setup
Create Multi-Output Device
- Include all both outputs:
Built-in Output
Soundflower (2ch)
- Name this one
Dual Output
(optional)
- alt-click on the volume icon in the taskbar
- choose your system
input
=External Microphone
(hangouts only needs one - quicktime will get both on its own)Output
=Dual Output
(hangouts should output to both quicktime and your headphones)
- Open
Quicktime Player
- (you may need to close and re-open this after configuring inputs)
File
->New Screen Recording
- In the dropdown next to the record button
- Microphone =
Dual Input for Quicktime
- Microphone =
@caseywatts does it work for you on Sierra? I've tried it as it's described (exactly the same setup as on your screenshots) and I'm not able to record the output sound (QT recorder can only hear my voice). Any idea what can be wrong?
