I have been playing on and off with SoundFlower but not had huge success until now when I have finally managed to get it to do what I want (sort of).

Basically, I just wanted to route the sound output from iTunes into Quartz Composer and also be able to hear it. For some reason I couldn't get it to work. Since the release of SoundFlowerBed version 1.1, I can achieve what I set out to do.

My setup is this:

1. Using Detour from Rogue Amoeba (discontinued but free) to route iTunes into Sound Flower 2ch.
2. Audio Input in Quartz Composer - choose Sound Flower 2ch.
3. Using SoundFlowerBed, select 2ch output to be Built in audio.

Easy as pie. The only thing I haven't worked out how to do is output to 2 sound output sources at the same time. Any thoughts?

NB: Detour doesn't work with Garageband, but with a bit of messing you can get it to output correctly via SoundFlower.

SteamSHIFT out.
