How to use a non-RØDE interface with RØDE Connect using Audio Hijack
Do you want to use a non-RØDE USB mic or interface with RØDE Connect? You can!
Earlier in November, I published Use the free RØDE Connect to mix remote guests, phone calls and local mics for recording or live broadcast. One of the major points about RØDE Connect (and my article) is about how simple it can be, accomplishing an amazing number of tasks with a single free application, including up to 6 mix-minuses in a foolproof way. I am still amazed how RØDE Connect allows mixing up to 4 local compatible RØDE microphones and up to 2 remote communication services, either stereo or multitrack recording and virtual carts, aka a soundboard. However, Memo Sauceda asked an important question below the article: «Can I use an Apollo Solo interface with RØDE Connect?» Of course, that is an important question, especially for those who already own high-end microphones which are not USB. My short answer was: «Not directly». This article is the longer answer about how to accomplish this with Audio Hijack (on macOS) while still maintaining the mix-minus, as well as the pros and cons compared with using only compatible RØDE USB microphones or a compatible RØDE interface.
