That is, with the input turned on, the sounds you input are automatically fed through the output so you hear back the sounds as you're making them. The effect is similar to using a microphone on stage and hearing the sound instantly pump through the speakers around you.

Note: This will work for both your Mac's built-in microphone as well as third-party microphone accessories.Download AudioMonitor
AudioMonitor is a free application for OS X that lets you monitor and edit the audio input coming into your Mac. You can download it at Softpedia. Note that it downloads as 'MTCoreAudio' but for our intents and purposes, the application itself is AudioMonitor.

Main out with RCA cables with a 3.5mm y-adapter plugged into the line-in on the sound card. I have Samson C01 Studio condenser Mic connected to the mixer.

If you're using your Mac's microphone, keep the Built-In Microphone and Internal Microphone options selected. Otherwise, choose the name of your accessory in the drop down menu when it's connected.
Also verify the output source is correct at the bottom. When you're all set, click Play Through to turn on live monitoring. You can test it out by turning up the volume on your computer and speaking into the microphone. You should hear your own voice play back to you in realtime, which means live monitoring is working.
