He is the founder of the Confident Live Marketing Academy and is the host of the Confident Live Marketing Podcast. We’ll focus on knocking down the 3 main barriers these entrepreneurs face when creating live content - camera confidence/mindset, tech/gear and content marketing. It’s aimed at established entrepreneurs who want to level up their impact, authority and profits through the power of live video, webinars and podcasts. The Confident Live Marketing Show is a weekly live video show and podcast. I use Ecamm Live with Restream, and then I use Loopback for lots of cooler things, and then Audio Hijack for all my Zoom meetings.ĭon’t miss an episode! You can subscribe on Apple podcasts here - or on other podcast players. You can keep it super simple with something like Restream, which I use regularly. And you don’t need to use Loopback if you have a Rodecaster.īut also remember, to get started with live video you don’t need any of this. So, you don’t need a Rodecaster if you want to use Loopback. The Rodecaster won’t help with this, it can do some cool things, however you will still need Loopback to route the audio from one app to another within your Mac. However, the Rodecaster doesn’t really help if you have a guest on or if you are using OBS Studio with Skype and want to route the audio from that into OBS. You can use these alongside your computer audio, and add sound effects as well.

Loopback allows you to do lots of different things with your audio on a Mac.Ĭan You Use A Rodecaster Instead of Loopback?Ī couple of weeks ago I talked about using the Rodecaster Pro for live streams, which is great as you can use up to four microphones at the same time. You can get a little advanced with this and record yourself and guests, as well as different types of audio on different tracks and files. This way you can bring in guests via Skype or Zoom as a virtual audio device and easily accommodate for multiple audio sources on your live show. What I usually do is use Loopback to capture audio and route it through Ecamm Live. 'I created a virtual audio device in Loopback called ‘Chrome’ and what this does is take the audio from Google Chrome and then outputs that to the Chrome audio device'īasically, what this allows you to do is capture audio from multiple inputs and devices at the same time. You can also route in the audio from another source, such as a video on Google Chrome, or Zoom or OBS studio. This allows you to combine lots of different physical audio devices, such as multiple microphones.

However, on Loopback, you can also create virtual audio devices. When you are recording your live show you will have physical audio devices such as an external microphone or a built-in computer microphone.

It also allows you to combine different audio devices at the same time. In essence, Loopback is a very simple tool that allows you to route audio from one tool to another.
