I downloaded Reaper today and have spent hours trying to get it to record. I am running a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 into an iMac running Mojave. I can see and select my Scarlett in Preferences under Audio - Device. But when I create and arm a new track, I get no input from the Scarlett. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the Scarlett. I've tried restarting the iMac. I have tried using my built in mic. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Reaper. I dragged a .mp3 into Reaper and I can play it back through the Scarlett. The mics and interface work perfectly in GarageBand and Adobe Audition but for some reason I can't get any signal from any source in Reaper on this iMac. I got out my old MacBook Pro and installed Reaper on that and everything worked perfectly. I was able to record using the built in mic, switch over to the Scarlett and record with that too. I've spent hours on this and every answer I've found on Reaper not getting a signal has to do with the wrong device being selected, the track not being armed, drivers, etc. but since I was up and running instantly on my old MacBook and I'm duplicating everything I did there on the iMac, I assume it has to be something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Matt Last edited by open-road-matt; 12-04-2018 at 04:46 AM.

open-road-matt Human being with feelings Join Date: Dec 2018 Posts: 2	Solved! I solved this! I needed to go into System Preferences and then Security and Privacy then under Microphone and check the box to give Reaper access to the microphone. GarageBand was already on the list and checked and I never had to do this with Adobe Audition so I guess that explains why those two programs worked without any issues. I had to do this same thing to give my cloud backup program permission to access my photos and I still get the prompt over and over again during back up so I guess I should have thought of this solution. The lesson for me is that if anything doesn't work quite right in Mojave, go in and see if something needs permission to access something else! Matt

Thank you for this post!
The same issue almost made me give up on Reaper. It shouldn't take 30 minutes to figure out why signal isn't present.

Hi,

I'm seeing this and having the same problems on my M1 MBP with ARM version of Reaper now (Playback works, but recording is silent).

However, Reaper does not even appear in the list of Apps that could access the microphone so I obviously cannot check that.

Is there a way to get Reaper to register there?

Thanks!

as a workaround you have to install the intel version first to get the preference option. they're working on it

So I glad I found this post

I was just going through the same thing, struggling to get this new setup working as it did on my Windows PC. Glad I eventually found this solution! Now, I'm just hearing echo in my headphones (although it doesn't appear in the recordings), so I just need to try to fix that.

serr Human being with feelings Join Date: Sep 2010 Posts: 12,921	I posted a tutorial on working this permission and working around it manually when it fails in the Mac sub-forum. I just had a 12.6.7 system (installed as 12.2.1 and updated via normal software update) refuse to give mic permission no matter what I tried. And the manual database file edit that works in 12.2.1 no longer works in 12.6.7 because they changed the format. I ended up saying screw it and clean installing back to 12.2.1. I remember we all made snarky comments about Windows users talking about dealing with this kind of stuff all the time back in the Steve Jobs era. This does not feel like Apple anymore!
