I was wondering if there was any way of routing the audio output of my MacBook Pro directly into Cubase 6.5 without the use of an audio interface card. I want to be able to record music I’m listening to on iTunes or streaming audio on the internet (eg from Grooveshark) etc, without the hassle of using my RME Babyface or UFX.
I know this is possible with the interfaces by using the loopback feature, but I can’t seem to get any audio from any other programs/internet into Cubase directly without the interfaces… would be very useful in a mobile situation!
This capability is disabled to prevent “recording” streaming digitally copyrighted media. On Windows, there is a way to do it by enabling the “stereo mix” virtual device which is “hidden”. I don’t know about doing it on OS though… Since asking Apple how to record streaming media from iTunes probably won’t get you an answer, you might try asking Google (how ironic).

Thanks, Jaslan, I got my Pandora out of the home speakers, yea!
I don’t need to “record what I hear” for now, but my Latitude D630 running XP seems to have everything grayed out except the microphone input for “sound recording” in the control panel. If I ever need to do that I’ll check back here.
