Your Mac shouldn't need Loopback, but it's a darn fine solution to this peculiar problem. As Rogue Amoeba's site says, its reps 'strive to reply in under 24 hours.' And I can attest to that, as a support agent named Aaron helped me make sure I actually needed Loopback as I explained my needs.Īnd, since I've tested Loopback for my own needs, count me among the many voices who shout the praise of this utility. That comes both in the form of features updates and patches to fix bugs and actual help. Your support for that company typically translates to getting support for that application on your end.

It’s perfect for running livecasts of podcast recordings, as well as powering internet radio streams, and livestreaming DJ sets. With Broadcast, you can stream to an internet radio server in MP3 or AAC formats.

These days, buying an app (usually) doesn't just get you the software. Audio Hijack now offers a brand-new Broadcast output block. Nowadays, it's really hard to get people to actually invest in software, but certain studios (such as Rogue Amoeba) earn those investments because of their excellent track history.

Your Mac shouldn't need Loopback, but it's a darn fine solution to this peculiar problem.Īnd then there's the best reason that you should pay for the software you truly rely on: quality. People still on Intel Macs may apply, but that's not me. But it's seemingly not being kept up to date, and it doesn't support Apple Silicon Macs.

Then there's also Soundflower, another free utility. And, sadly, that whole process was way too complicated for me to figure out. Unfortunately, it's less of a standalone utility and more of a plugin that will work with the Audio Midi Setup application. I lost at least an hour trying to figure out BlackHole, a free audio routing utility for the Mac. There are two notable alternatives out there, but neither seems right (for me, at least). The only problem with software this good is that it's priced a bit higher than you might prefer, at $99. I had a hunch it would, as I've previously used Audio Hijack Pro, a sound recording utility of Rogue Amoeba's.

You can even control the volume of each application from Loopback.Īs you can see for yourself, Loopback looks really nice, and it works that way too. You're not just limited to one application either, and you can play around with multiple output channels, if you're that kind of audio wizard. You can also select a 'special' source, if you want sound from Finder, Siri or another system utility.
