macOS Dialog: “*App Name* would like to access the microphone."

When launching a Native Instruments application on macOS 10.14 (or higher), the following message is displayed:

*appname* would like to access the microphone

You can click OK in order to enable microphone access. If you click Don't Allow and prevent access, you may experience issues such as:

• No incoming signal going to the Input Decks
  
• No DVS support
• Audio performance issues
  

In case you inadvertently chose Don't Allow or ignored the prompt, you can also adjust your Mac settings to enable microphone permission:

1. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Microphone
2. Click on the lock icon next to Click the lock to make changes and enter your computer log-in details.
   
3. Enable the microphone setting for your app(s) by ticking the box next to *app.name*.app. In the below example, we are enabling the microphone access for Traktor.app.
