Just bought this used to use with my new Mac for recording, but it didn't come with software. I'm new to recording. Help me find the software link?

Go to <Apple menu> / System Preferences / Sound, and choose "AudioBox USB" for the Input and Output. That will set the default input/output for recording/playback software (e.g. Garageband, Audacity) to be the AudioBox USB. Note that many audio apps allow you to override the default audio input/output with preferences within the app itself.

You dont need to install a software to use it with Mac, they are compatible.

If it's with a Mac you don't need any software.... just plug in to the usb and go. I bought two, though. The first one simply didn't work with my Mac for some strange reason and the second one worked fine.

If you are using Garage Band or Logic, it will find the hardware automatically... no need for software if I remember correctly. Again, plug it in while a recording program is open, and you may find the device under >Preferences >Audio

SO it says in the comment above that you should be able to download the software for Mac. This is why I purchased this device, and then when I called customer service the guy tells me the only software they have is in miniature cd format??? WTF.

well, miss Jennifer, the one that i bought didnt even work. i couldnt make it record or even start to do anything. the handful of forums i found about this item said simply: either the software works for you, or it doesnt. so i wouldnt trust it. yes, its cheap and looks easy, but you get what you pay for, ya know? my advice, if you havent bought it alrady, dont waste your time or money. hope this helps a little. :)

I'm not a Mac user. But for the price, try it. If it doesn't work, sell it to a friend with a Microsoft computer. I love the way this thing works. I especially like that I can covertly record conversations. I had a bad boss and would put this thing in my pocket and record our conversations in case I ever needed to defend or prove myself. The boss is gone now so I use it mostly for file storage.

A USB cable will come with the interface (i.e., the Focusrite Scarlett I mentioned) and plugs into a USB port on your Mac. That's part of the hardware. But you still need recording/editing software on your Mac (like Twisted Wave, Audacity, Reaper) to record and edit.

The Mini Recorder doesn't actually record! It converts the SDI/HDMI video and audio feed from your video source and makes it available via Thunderbolt to your Mac or PC to record in your video application (or the Blackmagic Design Media Express application). Don't know of anything that can do what you are after.

It is compatible with Macs. When you plug it in, it acts like a USB thumb drive, so it should appear on your Desktop and in Finder, allowing you to browse through and find your audio recordings.

Hi. This is a USB device. Search in Google to see if there is any software that runs on MAC. This specific unit came with a software for Windows/PC version. Thanks Janio

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better. You have to switch input in settings also, it's probably defaulted to "built in mic".

It's plug and play as a device so you don't need special software. You just use it with whatever software you use to record

Its been a while since I purchased this great mic but I don't remember any additional software coming with the unit. I discovered that when I used this microphone I could make speech recognition software like 'Dragon Naturally Speaking' function as advertised. Previously I gave up trying to use the app because it just didn't function properly and was very frustrating. I use 'Gold Wave' for all my sound editing work; I'm pretty sure there's a freeware version, stripped own of course, but I paid the $50 for the license to use the 'full boat' version. Its extremely versatile and doesn't really have much of a learning curve for its basic functions.

Agreed, which is it, "yes" or "no"? The description says it works with Mac, though one must also DL Audacity, which is a free APP.

I don't know why, since in my opinion just the GarageBand app + iRig would be a better option for mac users... But yes -- you just might need the right cable, depending on what you intend to do with it: probably just a cable with a stereo mini-TRS connector (earphone plug type) and a TS or TRS big connector (common guitar-cable plug type), if you want to record from the mac to the recorder.

I am hoping to buy an Olympus DS-40 recorder to use with my Mac laptop in conjunction with Mac Speak.. so that I can record and then transfer my recording to a word processor document. Has anyone done this and do you have advice or help for me on using Mac Speak w/ a digital recorder.

Try audacity its a recording software for Windows and Apple and if that doesn't help try Sound Record or Cakewalk

My manual has separate sections for PC and Mac. It would be easy to miss the Mac instructions -- 4 pages in the middle of a 23-page booklet, with all the rest devoted to PC -- but those pages covered everything in Mac-only detail. I bought mine a while ago, and the booklet (and the supplied Audacity program) are out of date. I can't tell you whether an updated manual and program are now included. I can tell you that I updated Audacity on line, for free, and that the settings are in different places than they were in the original version. Similarly, the Mac OS X preferences that you have to set look different than in my copy of the manual.

The better question is does the Creative Labs E-MU 0404 support the Mac with the latest drivers. The E-MU 0404 USB combines an external audio sound card and two microphone inputs into one USB unit; with the Microphones being plugged into the E-MU 0404. Your mic, the Yeti Blue mic is a USB mic and hence is being plugged into a USB port also, and not into the E-MU 0404 USB device. Why would you need this? I think the Apple MAC has integrated audio and your software should capture the USB mic input and fix any latencys during the recording. The audio output on the PC will include the mixed audio from the mic.
