How to Route Audio from your Mac to your DAW (Mac ONLY)
Hey folks, in this episode, we'll look at how to route audio from your computer to your DAW, so you can record reference tracks, meter and analyze music you're streaming, or just to record audio excerpts from YouTube! I'm not here to tell you what to do, just how to do it! Note that this solution is MAC Only. For PC Users of REAPER, watch this:
