Apologies for the length of this video. I could have given a quick overview of features but you could get that from the Rogue Amoeba website. I wanted to fully run through an actual use case and explain what I was doing. I'm not sure I did the best job but I hope it helps.

15:16 - Final Thoughts
Loopback uses the Audio Capture Engine (also developed by Rogue Amoeba) which allows macOS to route audio from a specific process ID to anywhere else.
"ACE provides an API for applications to create virtual CoreAudio capture devices, which then pull in the desired audio. For example, ACE can be used to programmatically create a capture device pulling audio from a running instance of VLC. Any audio that VLC produces will show up as audio input from the virtual capture device. The audio can then be read and processed by your application, using entirely standard CoreAudio APIs." (Rogue Amoeba Website)
Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions.
Note: I purchased the software demonstrated here. This is not an advert. It's an appreciation for a nicely designed and very useful piece of software. I contacted Rogue Amoeba after I bought the software to ask if they could give me a discount code for my viewers.

Dude, this is exactely what i need! Thank you so much for this great tutorial!
Very thorough with examples, including RME loop back routing. Thank You
That was a really good explanation- no I didn't get more confused... and I'm a newbie. You made the purpose and flexible use of this software perfectly clear- thanks!
Love it - Exactly my use case (including RME interface ❤)
A clear and concise explanation
Thanks for explaining this further. I also need specific routing for pro audio hardware/software.
Video is very helpful. Thank you very much.
You are a audio master 😊
Thanks for the discount code
Fantatstic walkthrough. I liked and subscribed.
Thanks! I'm glad it was useful.
For those who didn't know where he got the Audio Devices window, it's in Audio MIDI Setup.
Word to the wise ... I use loopback all the time and it's awesome. HOWEVER - it is incompatible with the Zoom Audio Device.
Let me explain. If you are sharing a video over a Zoom call and want to share the sound then Zoom will expect you to check the "share system audio" option. This enables an audio capture driver from Zoom called the Zoom Audio Device. The Zoom Audio Device competes with loopback and causes weird (read bad) things to happen. The solution is very simple - don't use the Zoom audio device. Instead make sure your video player is routed, using loopback, to the virtual audio device you are using for Zoom. This will achieve the desired result without issues and has the added benefit that you can control the volume of the video on the Zoom call using loopback.
This was interesting, thx!
Thanks a lot!!! Love your britsh speech!!!
Hope it was helpful. There’s so much you can do with Loopback, this tutorial could last hours!
@@tdcattech thanks again!!!
Perfect thanks
Made more sense but also brought questions. I have a device that pretty much has auto loop back with no way of turning it off I ’m trying to play music on stream and have it not be recorded (OBS) but since my audio interface picks up the music and loops it back it ends up as the same source for both my voice and the music 😅 your last option gave me some hope will try looping back and changing the output in tidal
I'm interested in this software because I'm hoping it can solve an issue I'm having and wanted to get your input to see if it may do so.
I'm helping out for a church service and what we want to do is to get the zoom audio going from our macbook, out to a mixer. The macbook is connected to the mixer via a cable that goes from the headphone jack to the mixer itself.
What I would like from this software is to make it so that only the audio coming from a specific application (could be zoom, could be OBS, etc.) goes out through the headphone jack and nothing else. Do you know if this is possible to do? Can you route an application audio to the headphone jack and mute all other audio?
Hope that makes sense. Not an expert at any of this so trying to wrap my head around it.
Big thanks! Saves me from having to buy additional hardware.
Seriously, this software is truly excellent. Reliable, powerful and simple to use. Exactly what software should be and a perfect addition for anyone using a Mac.
I've learned something
That’s great
This was almost perfect! when i mute the lines on my livetrak l-8 audio still comes through and i needed that to not happen.
Hey man, great video.
My question is: I'm trying to record a mixing video. I have a mix bus set in logic pro x going to the stereo out (ive made my outputs for logic 5&6) my mix bus then has a send going to 3&4 which i have applied vsx on the channel strip i use it for mixing. When i record with obs, i just want it to hear output 5&6 i dont want it to record the 3&4 output that in using in logic to listen to myself with vsx on. Im not sure how to achieve this
so, can you choose an individual tab of youtube or do you have to choose the whole window or the whole browser?
Amazing!! I Wonder about latency for streaming live!?
I've used this with streaming and, although I wouldn't want to monitor a mic through that latency, it works absolutely fine. Just take the mic straight off your desk or pre-processing.
If you route for example from Tidal like in de video, does this in a Bit perfect way?
Is there an app or a device that allows me to send 3 signals over Bluetooth? It’s for playing backing tracks but nowadays I play them over L and R. L instruments R click track
But I would like to have L and R only for the music (stereo) and the 3rd signal for click but everything wireless now i do it with an Scarlett interface but wired
😅
I want to take two DAW Channels (i.e. 3&4) and feed them to ZOOM. What is the simplest way to accomplish this mapping? The default is DAW Channels 1&2 and I don't want that feed.
When I add Spotify, And I turn it off, it still plays? Any advice?
can you make a tutorial using ableton & virtual dj?
Is this the software i need to route a live streaming audio track from something like soundcloud direct into my DAW ( such as logic and Cubase ) on my Mac ?
Yes, this would definitely work. There are a few ways you could do this. One simple way would be to route all audio from your browser (Safari, in my case) into a virtual input device and then use that as your input in Logic. If you're only looking to record, you could also do this using Audio Hijack - ua-cam.com/video/TevFMhfEJDI/v-deo.html - and then bring the files into your DAW.
I tried downloading the software few times but the Mac says to press shutdown and hold the start button to launch loopback ..but nothing happens can't see my app on the launchpad... Someone pls help..what am I doing wrong?
How to route digigrid wsg to loopback
Depends what you want to do but just add the DiGiGrid as an input device and route to an output channel. That will create a virtual input. I'm guessing though as I've never used a DiGiGrid product.
This application is too expensive
Really? I think it's a bargain. Well made, easy to use, reliable, well supported, regularly updated and most importantly very powerful. If you need this, it's an absolute steal.
@@tdcattech It may be ok for really simple tasks, but it is not well made, not reliable, and if you point out the issues for the support, the answers are useless. It even makes the whole system unstable. Free opensource alternatives exist which may give less features but more stability. I had to uninstall loopback completly to gain back system stability.
With all that considered, it is very expensive. ....
Hi Torsten. Im just worried about making the Mac vulnerable - the kernel extensions comment made me nervous. I just want to screen record in Quicktime but Monterey, with audio - but I understand Apple have disabled the option to screen record with audio. Rogue came up in my search. Basically, what I'm asking is... can I trust this software won't crash my computer and run off with all my secure and private data? Have you had any issues?
Thank you
I know, it sounds bad but it’s totally safe. I have to open kernel extensions for my RME soundcard too. It’s just needed for some more advanced use cases. I’ve used Loopback everyday since this video was made and have had no issues. That said, and I have to say this, you make these changes at your own risk and not on my recommendation 👍🏻
I have the exact same question. Did you go ahead with it? Are there any issues so far?
@@edithreverie9607 Yes there are major issues. When using multichannel audio with many channels, even your best CPU will go downhill. Other apps can do screen recording with audio without kernel extensions. OBS Studio would be my first choice. I had to uninstall loopback, as it has really significant issues, and the support just basically said "well sorry, that's how the implementation is."
