However, I'd repeat that this isn't really what Audition is made for and, at $20 a month for a subscription, you could fairly quickly get the budget for a better mic.probably some kind of dynamic you can work close to.

Sound Siphon Alternatives and Similar Software. Also, I did some Googling and came up with another app called 'Sound Siphon' which specifically says it can be used for streaming. However, if it's anything like VAC, the set up is a pain and takes a lot of fiddling to get things going where you want.so it might be worth playing some more. From what I can read on line, it sounds like it SHOULD be able to do the job. Soundflower is suggested as one of the Mac-compatible equivalents to VAC. This obviously isn't what most audio software is made for-even in live use, normally you take an output of the computer to a PA system or whatever rather than streaming it. Please tell me if I have this wrong, Thomase?įrom what I can see, he's trying to route the input (with effects) to the web rather than just to a headphone output-at least that's what I think they're doing with Virtual Audio Cable in the video he links to. I think what the OP wants to do is use Audition, in effect, as an outboard processor while streaming audio live to the net rather than simply recording it. For example, using noise reduction on every recording is a sign something is wrong with your system before it even gets into Audition. If you chose your mic carefully to start with (and probably hang some soft fittings around where you're recording to deaden the acousting in your room, you shouldn't need most of those anyway. This has the added advantage of letting you change settings as required while you edit-if you record with the effects already on, you're stuck with things as they are and can't fix them later.īeing really pedantic here, I'd also hate to have to add all those effects to every voice I record. The more common way of working is to simply record you mic in its raw form then apply all those effects when you Export your multitrack session after doing whatever editing you need to do. I ask because the only extra thing VAC does is let you record with all those effects already included on your mic. However, I have to ask.what exactly are you trying to do?

Well, there are a couple of programmes for Mac claiming to be equivalent to VAC: Virtual Audio Cable Alternatives for Mac OS X - Not being a Mac user, I can't vouch for how well they work.
