Hello I am trying to sample from Youtube using Maschine Mk3 and Black hole, I am routing the black hole properly in the Mac System because I am getting the mic on when I am in sound setting, at least I think. But I am not getting any sounds in on the Maschine, can anyone give me some tips on what I am doing wrong. Would greatly appreciate it. I am using a M2 Mac with Sonoma.

    BlackHole is to send Audio in between Apps.. The controller is irrelevant unless you want to hear the output thru the MK3 interface Outs (?)

    Ussually you just create a multi-out device, set it was your MacOS Sound Device then on the DAW/App Input you select BlackHole but Maschine does not allow selecting a different Interface for INPUT and another for Output (so you can hear things)… So the only way I got it work was to:

    Open the Audio MIDI Setup app in MacOS and:

    1 - Create a Multi-Output Device, enable BlackHole and whatever you use to listen/monitor Audio, (in my case right now it's my laptops speakers)

    2 - Select that same Multi-Out as your MacOS system Sound Device:

    3 - Also in Audio MIDI Setup create an Aggregate Device, enable both BlacHole and whatever you use to monitor again - You might need to press "Configure Speakers" to specify further — in my example I would need to set the last 2 Outs as my speakers 17 and 18:

    4 - In Maschine Audio preferences select the Aggregate Device as your interface, INPUT 1/2 should record your system Audio (Browsers, Spotify, etc..) and once again i need to set outs 17 and 18 as the Maschine Output 1-2 to hear things.

    You need to restart Maschine 3 for it to see the Aggregate Device.

    Done.
