  • Premiere Pro CS6 not seeing USB mic on Mac

    Posted by Greg Jones on November 7, 2012 at 3:01 pm

    So I’ve been editing in Premiere Pro CS6 on a mac for 6 months now. I have to do a temp VO for a project and I thought I’d try the Narration feature in the mixer. For some reason my USB mic doesn’t show up in the Audio Hardware so I can’t pick it. The same mic shows up in the Mac Audio Settings and even shows up in Audition. I’ve been having to use Audition but was curious to see if anyone out there has gotten a USB mic to work in Premiere Pro on a Mac. Would be a really cool feature if it worked.

    I was having the same issue running Premiere Pro CS6 picking up my Audio-technica AT2020 USB microphone…

    After some trial and error I found the issue was that I had not set an output in my aggregate device in Audio Midi setup. Follow the directions to setup new microphone in Audio MIDI from Adobe’s help menu (As follows):

    Set up a USB microphone (Mac OS)
    In the Audio Midi Setup application in Utilities, go to Audio > Open Aggregate Device Editor.
    Check each of the following:
    Your USB microphone.

    An additional input device, for example, Line In.

    An output device

    Select this new aggregate device within Premiere Pro’s Audio Hardware Preference panel.

    Once you add the input AND the output in the aggregate device manager you will have to restart premiere and then your microphone should show up in the default devices drop down under the name that you gave the aggregate device in the Aggregate device editor.
