I am using Audacity DAW. I want to record 16 tracks out of the Behringer X32 directly into the Audacity program on my Mac Aire. I have read it is possible but am having trouble making that happen. I understand that ASIO is required but that Mac has it built in. Can someone give me a step-by-step to go by??
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), Audacity Audio DAW
Mac has a CoreAudio driver and x32 is supposed to work with it as a Plug-and-Play device. You don't need any drivers, so it all boils down to configuring your host DAW (i.e. Audacity).
In a nutshell, you need to make sure x32 is selected as your input device in Audacity's preferences. The next step is to configure inputs: each of the 16 audio tracks should have a separate x32 input selected as the source of incoming audio. Since all DAWs work in similar ways, there has to be a way of arming the tracks for recording and monitoring the incoming audio, as well. As for specifics, refer to x32 and Audacity's manuals for details. Hope that helps. Cheers!

I'd try asking on an Audacity Mac forum like the one at:

Behringer x32 to Mac - how?
