SoundSource Reviews and details

• 5 years ago Valve released Proton forever changing Linux gaming

  This is hilariously biased. This is HN, you're not talking to people who don't know what Linux is. Hell, a huge portion of us are linux engineers of various sorts. You're also in a thread literally about a linux app. Anyway. I would never, ever use Linux as a desktop environment over OSX after the experiences I've had with it over the last 20+ years. OSX GUI applications absolutely blow everything that Linux has... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Best EQ for Mac 2023

  Https://rogueamoeba.com/soundsource/ (this has parametric EQ but it's a bit buried IIRC. It also has built-in support for AutoEQ according to this page so you might have to do almost nothing if you like the Harman curve). Source: 10 months ago

• Detailed audio device control?

  I've looked at https://rogueamoeba.com/soundsource/ and the features it has seems okay such as per-app volume levels. But I'd like it so when I connect a certain pair of headphones, then a pre-defined output and input device is set. So for Headphone A, the output might be set to this pair but the mic will be the build-in mic in my Macbook. And for Headphone B, both the output and input should be set to this...

• Which apps do you install first on any new Mac?

  Soundsource - per app volume control just like windows. Source: 11 months ago

• MacOS Audio API

  Definitely doable though might point to Rogue Amoeba re: implementation/execution particularly: SoundSource, Loopback & Audio Hijack. Source: 12 months ago

• MAC - BRIO and 2 Yetis

  I will first start by saying that I do not Podcast, but supposedly many people find Audio Hijack to be super helpful for stuff like this. You can pull and route any audio to anywhere you want. I have personally found that their other product, SoundSource, has been better at keeping my Yeti mic separated from the Brio mic than the system’s preferences. Source: 12 months ago

• As someone who works from coffee shops often, I WISH the MacOS volume glyph would reflect a connected device like iOS does

  SoundSource is an amazing app that I love, and it gives you the ability to see the active device, volume levels for each device, volume levels for each app, input and output volume, and mute-per-app. Source: 12 months ago

• ASD: is there a way to change sound settings?

  I recently came across this software, which I think should have been included by default in MacOS as such, check and see if this helps with controlling the volume when listening to podcasts. Source: almost 1 year ago

• Mac App for volume per app that work on Ventura?

  Have you heard of SoundSource? It does what you are wanting (Per app volume control) and more without needing SIP to be disabled. Source: almost 1 year ago

  - Comprehensive volume control, like SoundSource. Source: about 1 year ago

• Just got a new M2 Pro after my 2016 became outdated. What are your first steps to setting up a new computer?

  - Install SoundSource so I have actual audio options. Source: about 1 year ago

• Just got this beautiful 2012 unibody MacBook Pro. Any way to charge it without MagSafe 1?

  Otherwise, I’m not really sure what to say. Pick a display you like the look of and then get the necessary adapters. The volume control with the keyboard is essential for me, so go check out SoundSource by Rogue Amoeba, which gives app by app control and super volume controls. Super volume controls allow you to natively control the volume with the specialty keys on your keyboard for a non-Apple display. Source: about 1 year ago

• In-Ear Monitoring of Mix with Blackmagic Design Studio Convertors?

  Https://rogueamoeba.com/soundsource/ this is one of the first things I install on any production mac we use - you can set each application or audio source to specific destinations with their own volume levels. Source: about 1 year ago

• Fulla E just arrived

  You may want to take a look at something like Rogue Ameoba's SoundSource for per-application audio settings. Not free, but less expensive and flexible. They have a free preview mode. Source: about 1 year ago

• How to change audio balance of individual apps?

  Not sure whether that's possible. The best software to control audio is far and away SoundSource. Hope it helps by being able to do what you want :-). Source: about 1 year ago

• How do I boost the low end on my new headphones?

• I was a MacOS hater until...

  SoundSource is great too. You can control/boost any app's output volume, or even pipe it through audioplugins to eq or limit like a zoom conversation. Rogue Amoeba overall are just awesome. I wish I could buy more of their apps. Source: about 1 year ago
