Firstly the Mac mini doesn’t have stereo microphones but it does have built-in in and out connections for analogue and digital. Further to this the Mac mini Late 2012 has 4 USB 3.0 ports plus a Thunderbolt port thus an easy way to add yet more high speed USB ports if required along with further sound devices. So some examples. I have a Belkin Thunderbolt Dock which not only has yet more USB ports but yet another set of audio in/out connections. You can of course use your USB Sound device of your choice by just plugging it into the one of the USB ports and no extra drivers are needed for those high sampling and bit rates your device may support. So with that out of the way lets look at some audio software you may consider using and the first product that comes to mind is Audio Hijack. Audio Hijack does exactly what the name suggests, the App Hijacks any audio source from your computer whether it be App, physical hardware device or even a virtual machine running Windows, its your choice. So once you’ve decided to capture the audio you then can decide exactly what you want to do with it, record it to whatever audio format you like, send the audio to another device whether physical, software or AirPlay or even over the Internet, its all up to you and everything works right out of the box so you don’t need a pilots license, truly amazing stuff. So that’s just the start.
