There are 2 main ways for recording the audio output of your DAW inside your Mac for the purpose of creating tutorials or beat making videos. If you have an audio interface with a loopback feature you already have this option right out of the box. If not, there’s a free way which works with any audio interface or even with the built-in sound card on the Mac and in this video I will give you step by step instructions on how to set it up.
You can also use this for sampling from any application on your Mac, such as KZread in your browser, Spotify, Apple Music, etc.

    Hi, would you happen to know of a method that does what you do here but also incorporates yet another stereo pair of I/O for say, a analogue mastering chain? I use cubase and created a hardware insert (2ch in, 2ch out) and I would need to record these changes I make on the hardware in OBS too. But even with Blackhole 16ch i seem to get only 2I/O. 🤷‍♂️

    OBS on Mac doesn't see the separate inputs of an audio interface. All the inputs are recorded together and there's no way to separate them. Not sure I understand your use case 100% so let me know if this answered your question.

In Live you can use the Multiple output device as an output and your regular audio interface as input, so recording works fine.
