To hear what your Mac is recording, launch Soundflowerbed, which the Soundflower installed places inside the SoundFlower folder now inside your Applications folder.

And that’s because the Mac’s audio is routed to Soundflower rather than your Mac’s speakers or headphones. You see movement in QuickTime’s meters but hear nothing from your Mac’s speakers. One thing you’ll immediately notice as you record is the sound of silence. The difference is that High quality records at a resolution of 44.1 kHz and Maximum records at a higher quality of 48 kHz. Both produce an AAC file encoded at 256 kbps. In the Audio area below you have two options-High and Maximum. To perform the capture, launch QuickTime Player, choose New Audio Recording from the File menu, and in the window that appears, make sure that SoundFlower is selected by clicking on the small triangle.
