17,1 iMac, 10.14.3. Need help thinking through this recording session. My object is to record a video in Safari. Not only the screen, but sound will be recorded. However I do not want to monitor the recording sound. Or I want the ability to TOGGLE off the iMac sound, but still record sound from video.
I can do this with Quicktime Player, Audio Midi Setup, and Soundflower. The reason I am writing is that doing so, gives me recorded video sounding as if from a barrel. To me, the resulting sound is being recorded by a microphone of the iMac. Giving it the sound in a barrel, I want to hear the direct video sound.
I have tried iMac sound input and output at various settings, set the Master Device on Soundflower or Built in Out-put. Still the barrel sound persists.
What am I missing to be able to record the sound directly from the video, but be able to TOGGLE sound out without picking up sound from an internal microphone.
