Audacity Two Microphones Mac Only Wants

Unfortunately, my Mac only wants to recognize whichever one was plugged in last.

To be more specific, they both appear under USB in System Information, but only one in System Preferences and Audio MIDI Setup.

As this was still the case in early 2014 (see the Macworld article, below), it probably is still the case today.

Thats pretty bad that Mac OS still cant deal with that after at least three years of people talking about it.

Linux has no problem distinguishing between them, but then all audio software for Linux is terrible.

Id certainly like to think theyve addressed this in newer products, but perhaps its actually quite a rare situation.

If your mics are Yeti Pros then an alternative would be to use the analog XLR out on one, or both, with a different interface.

Thatll solve the problem, and give me a chance to compare them too.

I think the trick might be creating the aggregate first but I have to say: I was panicking because I had a sit-down interview scheduled the next day and I was flailing about in my attempt at getting this set up so.

Maybe just do what I did: watch 15 outdated YouTube videos, panic, scramble, stay up too late, have some adult beverages.

You might be lucky enough to have a pair with different serial numbers.

Give it a minute or two to finish initializing the mic with the new serial, and you should be good to go.
