How to Record 2 USB Mics with Separate Tracks at the Same Time on MAC (For Interviews & Podcasting)

You'd think it would be easy to just plug two USB microphones into your computer and hit record into two separate tracks, but of course, NOPE! There's a little trick that I'll show you here in this video.
Note: This video is for MAC users. For a PC friendly version, click here:

This way, you can record two people at the same time (or more if you have more mics, just do the same thing again and again for each additional microphone), and control each track separately for editing.

Thanks man! Just earned a new sub ! I was going crazy trying to figure this out for hours

[@Crownyourself]

Thank you so much for this Pat! Super helpful. My husband and I are just launching our 2-person relationship podcast and didn't want to buy more audio equipment until we see traction with the podcast, and we didn't want to record in separate rooms with our USB mics. This video was EXACTLY what we needed!

[@PrimalVideo]

Great video Pat! I'll be sending people this way for sure

[@lawrencejaramillo3707]

I’ve literally been searching for this all over the internet!! Thank you Pat!!!

[@phendee1]

We have been suffering with one mic not being able to afford a mixer. We have all the software and hardware listed in this video. It makes so much sense. Can't wait to do. Many Thanks for the help

[@artjohnson01]

This is way cool! It is a bit complicated, but your instructions were very clear, and the cost is really minimal (except for the mics). I already have a Zoom H5 for a portable solution that also provides a better preamp. Then for more professional use I use a Zoom F4, which has even more inputs and even better preamp. Rock on, and thanks for all you do!!

[@haydenhinkle5808]

This helped so much. I spent so much time trying to figure this out and all it too was this simple vid to explain. Thanks man

[@shelovescilantro2481]

So happy that this was the first video that popped up when I was trying to figure out how to use two mics on my mac! Thanks man, this was great!

[@coolgraycats]

[@Chazzz_Onomatopoeia]

Dude finally. Why does everyone skip the first step. Thank you sir. Appreciate you

[@PRIDECONDITIONING]

This worked great for me. Using two lavalier mics and at that they are TTRS and I used a USB adapter to a USB hub on my macbook. Recorded our first podcast and it worked great!

[@Adam1llion]

[@TiffanyWebster]

Such a great tutorial. Thank you soooo much! Very helpful

[@blackfatherhood9396]

Very helpful ME-DIE mic tutorial. You made this look easy.

[@patflynn]

Me-Die for the win.

[@ejh1281]

Thanks, this is great to know. Hate to be a Rode girl but the the Rode NT-USB Mini and the Rode Connect software is the ultimate. That will cost $200 for two mics. Software is free. If you haven't invested in Mics yet check it out. Records in the software too. Sooooo easy. Also uploads straight to podcast hosts too like Buzzsprout. Software puts it in the correct format for them too. And, noise gate and other processing in it too with a simple click of the button. Sounds great. Couldn't be easier. Really worth the dough for me.

[@enjoylongbeach]

Thank you for making this

[@cdotandy]

[@PLANETFAZ]

Hi, Great video. I have one quick question. Could I do the same process but use more mics? Maybe 4/5 LAV mics connected to my macbook? Just select the mics when I am making / adding my aggregate devices? Which LAV mics would be the best to plug into a mac via USB or AUDIO? I may need to interview 3/4 people at a time thats why. Thanks

[@jamieslate]

Bruh! That’s amazing. Are you trained at speaking into a mic? Your test there sounds so much better than my best try using a yeti

[@ItsMizzK]

Love this video. The only thing I struggle with is bleeding. Using two different styled mics on a low record level but I can never get their soundwaves to be that big without being able to pick up the other mic. Any suggestions?

[@flower423k]

🤯 thank you so much

[@raysegev]

Thank you so much for this!!! Saved me so much money Haha
