and if you want to route sounds from itunes or another sound software to M8 you can use soundflower :

ok, I do this all the time and trust me, it works. Follow the instructions in this order:

1. connect your sound to your mac using the line port

2. open system preferences/sound/input -select line in and tweak the volume, you should see the input bouncing up and down. If you don't there is a problem with your mac's line input or with your sound source.

3. open modul8 and tweak the sound input knob, it is useful to have the soundviewer module open to see the level of the incoming signal.

That's it.

I've done this, and no dice. There's no problem with my input, I've used it to record dj sets a zillion time directly to the line in. I've tried tweaking the sound in knob in M8 to no avail. Is there something I'm missing?!?!?! Is there something i'm not doing correctly? i'm in this mood right now :evil:

got a show coming up tuesday.

Follow the instructions in the right order ie-set you sound preferences BEFORE opening modul8
