However, I have to use the setup with IShowU Audio Capture as the Mac default output rather than using the multi-output device including IShowU. I've got IShowU installed and working in Audacity. So after installing IShowU, where do I go from there? Modify my present multi-output device, substituting IShowU for Soundflower, and then select that as output in my Audacity preferences? It is working fine, but I want to be up-to-date and ready for 64 bit. My use of Audacity is limited to recording - and editing - internet streaming. I do have a multi-output device set up now, probably dating from this time, but I don't think it is being used. Audacity does not record from MIDI devices." However, a couple years ago when I was first setting up Audacity and fumbling with Soundflower, Gale made the following comment:

"If you need to hear what you are recording (which will usually be the case), you need to set up a "Multi-Output Device" in "Audio MIDI Setup"." The instructions for IShowU on the Audacity wiki say: I am considering installing IShowU Audio Capture, prior to upgrading from High Sierra to Mojave, but I am confused about multi-output devices.

I'm hoping these data points might be of some significance to any engineer types reading this. And they often occur seemingly in pairs, which are always between 13 and 14 seconds apart. Specifically, the dropouts are always around. I don't think my internet speed is a contributor because the dropouts exhibit certain constancies, whereas I know internet speed itself varies over time. These probably originate upstream, as Steve suggested to me a while back. I had hoped that Soundflower might be the source of my dropout problems (from online streaming sources) but IShowYou hasn't brought any improvements.

The volume slider in the upper tool bar doesn't function. In fact, I actually have to reduce the volume in System Preferences when auditing because it tends to be too loud. I'm used to automatically normalizing all my recordings to bring the volume up, but I don't really have to do that now. IShowU Audio Capture apparently provides higher level input than Soundflower. (You'll have to zoom way in to read the details.)

The wave form is a still shot of a recording, not of a listening session. The attached "collage" composite screen shot shows, I think, all the relevant parameters of my working setup. I've gone through various repetitions of the two setups, with and without Audacity and Mac restarts and machine reboots. The latter device works because I can use it to listen, but it just seems that Audacity (2.3.0) doesn't pick up IShowU Audio Capture as an input stream from it. I have been searching the forum but don't see anything on this specific issue.
