Simultaneous recording of audio from 2 different software programs

Is it possible to have 2 software programs running simultaneously that both record audio coming into the Mac Mini M2 2023 ? I'm assuming I can only use one audio INPUT device but can two programs access one audio input device at the same time ?

Recording with a USB audio capture cable I'm trying to record audio from a cassette player using a USB audio capture cable connected to my M1 Mac Mini. The Mac tags the cable as "USB Microphone" and the incoming audio shows up in Settings/Sound but not in Audacity, Voice Memos or Quicktime.

Connecting two Macs for audio Hello, I'd like to find out how to connect one MacBook Air to another, for audio. If I connect an iPad to a MacBook Air then it comes up as an audio source (eg in QuickTime). I have connected two MacBook Airs through a Thunderbolt cable, then that doesn't happen. I'd like one Mac to be visible to the other as an audio source. Is that possible?

Hi,

I think you can't, though 2 softwares running simultaneously is possible, one of two programs lock one audio input port.
