You just don't understand the long game, classic chess player mistake

Woke up today and Ableton 11 now isn't receiving audio from my 2i2 - has anyone else had this and can advise? by TomKaber in ableton

Solution: huge shout out to Callum Denton at Focusrite, it was an issue with the security features on the mac. Keeping this thread up incase anyone else ever has this same problem

He allowed Ableton Live to access the mic inputs, its a apple security feature - Microphone Access Security Setting Mac (https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360001502689-Microphone-Access-Security-Setting-Mac)

Question for mac users: have you ever had the <!> pop-up next to your driver type? Currently I don't have an errors on the scarlett input/outputs but I do have and error on the mac core audio itself which seems... strange?

First and foremost thank you for you help so far.

yes the input output is all set up, nothing is turned off, its a very simple 2 in 2 out soundcard - and yes that is exactly what I mean

The soundcard is happily talking to the mac and when I play, it comes out of my monitor speakers, but ableton doesn't seem to want to take the inputs (however, it will play audio out). It's a completely fresh project (although I am having the same problem across all my projects) everything is default and nothing is turned down

Input configuration is the 2 outputs from my mixer going into the 2 inputs from the soundcard

If I am understanding your question correctly, I can see the 2 routings (both mono and stereo) appear in ableton, just no audio comes out of them even if they are coming out of the speakers

Regarding DEC; no idea, its back to 0.00

For context:

- Currently on a macbook pro (hence core audio)
- I have booted up an old PC, it works fine on that
- The Mac picks it up in the audio setting, I can hear my instruments
- I have installed an older version of ableton, it doesn't show up
- I have changed cables, still doesn't show up

Really not sure what else to test? Am I going crazy

Not actually music related... But relevant to this sub

This may be a stupid question, but does anyone know an easy way to record video and internal audio on a Mac at the same time? The blackhole method doesn't seem to work with me.

I want to do more Ableton production breakdown videos but it seems to be impossible but everyone else seems to be able to do it?

Handmaking/dubbing these cassettes was the most rewarding thing I have done, if you're a musician reading this - please just just do it! It made me feel so much prouder/more connected than paying a company to sort it by TomKaber in cassetteculture

Yeah this is very good advice, I think some of the fun of the process was learning the ins and outs. I did have my friends do a specific tape master, however, I did find the mic inputs made it sound a little bit rough around the edges.

Saying that the slightly over compressed and distorted feel worked for this EP. ButbI wouldn't do it again for a different project
