We want to add two sources, our physical microphone, and the application QuickTime.

#Soundsource vs loopback plus#

I said that there’s a Source column and there’s a plus sign next to it with a little dropdown. It’s an odd concept but once you come to peace with it, it makes perfect sense. In our case, QuickTime is an app that goes as an input to a Pass-Thru virtual device and then the output of that same Pass-Thru virtual device becomes the input to Zoom. The crazy thing is that virtual devices can be inputs and outputs at the same time. If we want QuickTime to be an input to Zoom, we need to create a Pass-Thru device in-between these two applications. Sources DropdownĪ Pass-Thru (virtual) device is what allows you to use application combined with physical devices as a single input to another application. Pass-Thru is what Loopback calls a virtual device. Mic + QuickTime before setupīefore doing anything else, on the right side, we immediately have a block under Sources called Pass-Thru and under Output Channels, it has a block called Channels 1 & 2. If you forget to rename it right away, you’ll always have a little pencil to the right of the name to enable editing. You’ll also get the same name in the right half of the interface and it will be highlighted inviting you to rename it. This will create a virtual device in the left column entitled Loopback Audio. In the left column, I’ll hit the plus button at the bottom that’s labeled “New Virtual Device”. Let’s say I’m a teacher and I need a way to pipe my voice from my microphone and the audio from QuickTime to my students on a Zoom call. The right half of the interface has three columns: Sources, Output Channels, and Monitors Sources These will be your virtual devices which will be made up of physical devices and other virtual devices you’ve previously created. The interface for Loopback has a left column where it lists all of your devices. With all of the video conference calling going on for school and work and just plain socializing, there are plenty of opportunities where you might want to be able to share audio with other people. You don’t have to be a podcaster to want to be able to do something like this.

This physical device can be a fancy big-girl mic like a Heil PR-40 or something as simple as the internal mic built into your Mac.īut what if you want someone to hear something other than your voice? Let’s say you’ve got an audio recording that you can play on your Mac in QuickTime? How would you share that audio in real-time? QuickTime is an application, not a physical hardware device, so you can’t just choose it from the Sound Input Preference Pane. In order to have people hear your audio, you have to send it to them from a physical microphone. Let’s start with the basic problem to be solved. I’ll explain Loopback to you today, but if you buy it and you want to learn the tool inside and out, my tutorials are a really good way to do that. I’m not just shilling for ScreenCastsOnline by suggesting this.

I have also mentioned their application Loopback a few times in the past but I’ve never done a full review of what you can do with this amazing tool. You know I’m a huge fan of the company Rogue Amoeba and you’ve heard me sing the virtues of Audio Hijack at least 237 times so far.
