![]() The unexpected part is that the Ecobee SmartThermostat can function as an AirPlay speaker, so Boston’s next step was to use Airfoil to route the incoming audio from his turntable over to his thermostat. That’s funky but mostly a matter of cabling. The video demonstrates how he connected the turntable to a Zoom Handy Recorder, which then fed the audio into an iMac Pro. On Twitter, user “Boston” shared a short video showing a turntable playing audio through a thermostat. Play Vinyl Records through an Ecobee Thermostat If I were doing this, I’d probably lower the volume on the two “inside” speakers (the right speaker on the left display and the left speaker on the right display) to account for the different distances. The solution? Loopback, which lets you create a virtual device, split the incoming audio into left and right channels, and direct each to a different Studio Display, playing each channel through both speakers in the displays. But you want to go further-you want the left stereo channel to come out of the left-hand Studio Display and the right stereo channel to emanate from the right-hand Studio Display. You want to play your audio through the displays simultaneously, which is enough of a trick in itself. Imagine you, like one very fortunate Rogue Amoeba user, have not one but two Studio Displays. ![]() We admit that this is very much a first-world problem. Play Audio through Two Apple Studio Displays What might you want to do with Rogue Amoeba’s apps? Apart from the obvious use cases core to each app, we wanted to share some of the weird and wonderful ways users have leveraged Airfoil, Loopback, and Farrago.

Thanks to reasonable pricing and a desire to keep things straightforward, Rogue Amoeba almost never has sales. During that time, the company has extended its pseudopods deep into the world of Mac audio with a collection of apps for recording audio ( Audio Hijack and Piezo), controlling and enhancing audio from devices and apps ( SoundSource), streaming audio around your home or office ( Airfoil), editing audio ( Fission), routing audio between apps and devices ( Loopback), and even adding canned audio to performances ( Farrago). This month, Rogue Amoeba is celebrating its 20th anniversary, which is an awful lot of generations when you’re a single-celled organism. We’re pleased to welcome Rogue Amoeba back as a TidBITS sponsor for the next few issues. #1663: Exploring the Apple Vision Pro, 12 more OS features coming in 2023, new Apple service features, Apollo shuts downĪudio Hacks from TidBITS Sponsor Rogue Amoeba.#1664: Real system requirements for OS 2023, beware Siri creating alarms instead of timers.#1665: Important OS security updates, abusive Web notifications, solve myopia with an iPhone, Self Service Repair. ![]() #1666: Air quality websites and apps, The Password Game.#1667: OS Rapid Security Responses, 1Password and 2FA, using Siri to request music.For now this seems solved for me, I'll let you know if something changes. Switching between the two is just a click or two. I have the Sonarworks and CanOpener plugins running inside of SoundSource, so I'm getting systemwide EQ on both signal paths. This introduces some latency, but not to a level of being problematic for tasks other than live instrument monitoring.īoth of these are routed through SoundSource. I ran the memory pressure way up and had no stutters with this setup. This is my signal path for listening to music while multi-tasking in other applications. M1 Max MacStudio > Airplay 2 to WiiM Pro streamer > S/PDIF cable to RME Babyface Pro > Genelec 8030C/Sennheiser HD800S This path is preferred for music production due to near zero latency. This runs without stutters as long as I have no other memory intensive applications running, it stutters if I do. ![]() This is my signal path for music production when running either Ableton Live or Logic Pro. M1 Max MacStudio > USB cable to RME Babyface Pro > Genelec 8030C/Sennheiser HD800S ![]() I have what appears to be a workaround that's going to serve me until Apple solves this issue (assuming they ever do). ![]()
