I am not sure what to do next.Due to the Mac App Store’s restriction, Any Screen Recorder does not record Mac’s audio by itself, it needs a free add-on app called “Soundflower”.ġ. I reran SoundBlossom and it showed all of the new channels. I then opened ist file inside the Soundflower.kext and saw that the changes were made, but they did show up. To shut off the requirement for signed kexts and rebooted the machine. I added the additional channels, ran the terminal command

Since running the compiled version didn’t produce any errors, it just didn’t find Soundflower, I thought I would give a try at loading the source code into Xcode and replace any references to /System/Library/… with /Library/… I then ran the code and it worked. I installed the signed version of Soundflower (2.0b2), which puts the kext in /Library/Extensions, not /System/Library/Extensions.
The problem is that I am running El Capitan (10.11.4) and the kexts need to be signed. I am a relative newbie to the Mac world and SoundBlossom is exactly what I have been looking for. Hi Luca, thanks for all the great information you posted. I strongly encourage you to check it out, and even to improve it if you can, I’d gladly pull your changes into the main repository.

SoundBlossomer is 100% open source, it is released under the BSD license and you can find all of its source code on the GItHub page.
If you find any issues, please, let me know. I spent about a day putting together this app, which by the way is my first Mac app ever, and I think it works reasonably well, at least in all the testing I’ve made. Today I’m introducing a new project, SoundBlossomer, a little utility that lets you easily add, edit and delete your Soundflower audio interfaces.īasically, this app figures out which Soundflower instances you already have defined in your /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext/Contents/ist file and shows them in a list, allowing you to add additional ones, as well as renaming, changing the number of channels and deleting the other ones. That guide became pretty popular, and it was even linked in Cycling 74’s blog. A while back I wrote about my hack that allowed me to have multiple instances of Soundflower that I used to record a multi-track Skype group call for podcasting purposes.
