A great set of speakers can turn your Mac from a squeaking mouse to a roaring lion. While super simple to install, external speakers can make your favorite movies, music, video games, podcasts, and more come to life. Your logic is sound, but incorrectly applied. First, you are postulating a lack of outcome when I specified a positive presence of one. Were you reading my post? Additionally, given that he stated 'the noise is not heard through a headset' the next logical course of action would be to test the speakers, not continue to test the system which was just proven functional. Aug 29, 2004 Poor mix at recording studio by the sound engineers. There are many cases where recording engineers Over-EQ the recording to compensate for original limitations of the source. Many CD's are mixed with too much EQ as they are geared for the average consumer's system, that when played back on a high fidelity system they sound overly bright. Mar 12, 2020 If necessary, install any software included with the devices (such as software drivers). Plug-and-play audio devices don’t need a software driver to work with a Mac. Connect your audio device to your Mac. Choose Apple ( ) menu System Preferences, then click Sound. Choose the Input tab and select your audio interface or the audio line “In”.
Whether you run a podcast or like recording musical covers, you can probably benefit from live monitoring your audio input. That is, with the input turned on, the sounds you input are automatically fed through the output so you hear back the sounds as you’re making them. The effect is similar to using a microphone on stage and hearing the sound instantly pump through the speakers around you.
Having this feature is important for testing out your microphone’s volume level, the proximity to the speaker, audio quality and more. Perhaps you also just want to capture a bit more reverb. Here are two ways on the Mac to enable live monitoring for free.
Note: This will work for both your Mac’s built-in microphone as well as third-party microphone accessories.Download AudioMonitor
AudioMonitor is a free application for OS X that lets you monitor and edit the audio input coming into your Mac. You can download it at Softpedia. Note that it downloads as “MTCoreAudio” but for our intents and purposes, the application itself is AudioMonitor.
When you download the program, it’ll reveal itself as a package of contents. The only one you need to be interested in is AudioMonitor. Drag that icon over to the Applications folder on your Mac to install the program. Feel free to discard the rest.
Once you can launch AudioMonitor from Applications, you’ll notice it’s a very basic and lightweight app. Before you turn on live monitoring, make sure you select the proper input at the top. If you’re using your Mac’s microphone, keep the Built-In Microphone and Internal Microphone options selected. Otherwise, choose the name of your accessory in the drop down menu when it’s connected.
Also verify the output source is correct at the bottom. When you’re all set, click Play Through to turn on live monitoring. You can test it out by turning up the volume on your computer and speaking into the microphone. You should hear your own voice play back to you in realtime, which means live monitoring is working.

Use GarageBand
GarageBand is typically used for musical instruments and recording projects, but if you don’t want to download a new app, GarageBand also has a live monitoring feature. I prefer using AudioMonitor because it’s way more lightweight and straightforward, but GarageBand works fine too.
All you need to do is open GarageBand and make sure you’re starting on a blank slate, i.e. not opening a previously worked on file. For your new project, select Empty Project then click Choose.
GarageBand will ask you about your input settings. Select Record using a microphone or line input at the top. Then underneath, make sure the checkbox to the right is ticked that reads I want to hear my instrument as I play and record.
Proceed to your new project and you’ll notice your first track has a lit icon that looks like an upside Wi-Fi signal. That’s live monitoring, enabled. Make sure you have a pair of headphones ready, then try speaking into your mic to test out hearing your own voice.
