Q: Why can't I get AU Lab and Soundflower to record anything on my Mac Pro!

(Please be patient, I really apreciate your time and input!)

I have been (and I am) recording for years with logic audio and a lot of other recording aplications which I own.

I started experimenting with AU Lab. Although I am very good at figuering out, learning new applications I can't

record a thing with AU Lab and Soundflower to record anything on my Mac Pro! I red the confusing instructions

and followed You Tube videos on this. I get a reading of what I want to record in the AU Lab mixers only if I set

the input and output to Soundflower, but after recording and saving the AU Lab Recording .aif files play back nothing!

 

I am running system 10.9, latest AU Lab version. I do not use the Alesis iO|26 firewire interface I have connected but I

only want to record what is playing in my computer.

 

I changed input and output settings in the above to different combinations and in system audio still no sound out of

the AU Lab Recording .aif files I get!

 

Thank you for any ideas of what I do wrong or have to set up.

    When you have your AU Lab document open (so you are looking at the faders and level indicators), select Show Studio from the Window menu. Check that input Settings is set to Soundflower and Output Settings is set to your DAC or wherever you want the sound to go. Then drag the little L|R indicator under Input Settings to the far right, so that it's under "13 14". Now it should work.

    Hi Paul and thank you so much for replying.

    I still can't get any movement when playing audio. Note that it says (Overload 9

    next to the Audio engine running. This is there even with the LR sliders set to 1

    Here is what I am looking at after trying to do what you said:
