Uploading to Your FABA Storyteller™
Follow these simple steps to add your story to FABA Storyteller™
Install BlackHole Audio Driver (One-Time Setup)
Download and install BlackHole from existential.audio/blackhole. This free tool routes audio between apps on your Mac.
Tip: BlackHole is open-source and safe. Choose the 2-channel version for simplicity.
Create a Multi-Output Device
Open Audio MIDI Setup (built into macOS). Click "+" and create a Multi-Output Device. Check both "BlackHole 2ch" and your speakers/headphones.
Tip: This lets you hear the audio while also capturing it for FABA.
Set Multi-Output as System Audio
Go to System Settings → Sound → Output and select your new Multi-Output Device as the default output.
Open MyFABA App and Start Recording
In the MyFABA app, go to your FABA Me figure, tap "Add New Track" → "Record". The app will use your Mac's microphone input.
Tip: In System Settings → Sound → Input, select "BlackHole 2ch" as your input device.
Play Your Fablino Story
With recording active in MyFABA, play your downloaded Fablino story in any audio player. The audio routes through BlackHole into the FABA recording.
Tip: Play the story at normal speed—the full story will be captured in real-time.
Save and Sync
Stop the recording in MyFABA when the story ends. Give it a title, save, and sync your FABA Me figure. Place it on your FABA Storyteller to play!
Tip: Test the recording quality with a short clip first before recording full stories.
