How to Record Computer Audio with microAUDIO Loopback


The loopback function allows you to route the output audio back into the USB input.
It can be used for situations such as streaming with background music, or recording vocals over a backing track played on your computer.

When using microAUDIO on Windows, the microAUDIO Audio Driver must be installed. 
On macOS, the Audio Driver are not required.

 

  • Open your DAW or streaming software.

  • Create a new audio track, and set its input source to microAUDIO Loopback channels 3–4.

  • Set the track output to Mute or No Output
    (this prevents a feedback loop).

  • Start recording.
