Soundflower Tutorial

I am using Wavelab 6 on XPSP3 Parallels 4.0.3844 and sending the audio to Logic Pro 8 on Leopard 10.5.7.
There is no visible or audio-based latency in the recording of the Wavelab track back into Logic.

My Computer System is a Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz with 4Gb of RAM.

1. Audio Midi Setup: Create an Aggregate device with:

(a) the Primary Audio device on your system that you want to use to monitor the output of Soundflower on. Make it the Clock master.

(b) Soundflower [2ch].

THESE ARE THE ONLY 2 DEVICES that should be in your Aggregate setup. Rename your device. You will NEVER USE THIS AGGREGATE DEVICE.

I believe this is the elegance to how Soundflowerbed works its magic. Soundflowerbed will manage Aggregate Devices in the background.

In the Audio-Midi Section of OSX:

default Input = Soundflower [2ch]default Output = Soundflower [2ch].

When you aren't using Parallels and OSX, you can switch the input/output back to your primary audio device. [ie normal use]

2. Startup/Load Parallels.

3. Startup/Load Wavelab. Once set, the default output device [setup from the Parallels Tools Menu at the top] should be Soundflower [2ch].
This continues to remain your output.

4. Setup Wavelab Preferences Audio input and output = Integrated Devices.

5. Start Logic Pro. Your default device in Logic is Soundflower [Ch2] ... NOT AGGREGATE DEVICES.

Remember ... Soundflowerbed will manage Aggregate Devices in the background.

6. Start Soundflowerbed from the directory in your Applications folder.
In the Menu under Soundflower[ch2] select your primary audio device [same as the primary in Audio-Midi setup]
The channel assignments will be correct.

Soundflowerbed knows all !!

7. Have fun.
