Description

With the Loopback app, you can effortlessly route audio from one application to another on your Mac. Loopback is capable of combining audio from both application sources and audio input devices, and then making it available anywhere across your entire system. Thanks to an intuitive, easy-to-understand wire-based interface, Loopback delivers all the power of a high-end professional studio mixing console right inside your computer!

Play Music and Much More for Your Podcast Guests

Combine your microphone with audio sources such as music or Farrago, and then select the Loopback device as your input source in Skype. Voilà! Your guests can hear both your voice and all of your audio additions clearly and seamlessly.

Multiple Devices In One

Applications like GarageBand, Logic, and Ableton Live are limited to recording from only a single audio device at a time. With Loopback Mac audio routing, you can merge multiple input devices into one unified virtual device so you can capture all of your sound together.

Create Top-Quality Videos

Most screen recorders allow you to include your microphone audio, and some may let you record system sound, but neither of these options is truly ideal. Instead, create a virtual device that captures both your microphone and application audio to get precisely the sound you want in your recordings.

Record Gameplay Video

Creating gaming videos with excellent audio quality does not have to be complicated or difficult. Use Loopback with devices such as the Elgato Game Capture hardware to record both your microphone and in-game audio simultaneously!

Pairs Perfectly with Audio Hijack

Create a simple pass-through device in Loopback, and then set it as the output at the end of any audio capture chain. Now you can select that source as the input signal in any application so that it receives exactly that audio stream.

So Much More…

After you complete your Loopback download and install it, you gain incredible power and precise control over how audio is routed around your Mac and between all of your applications. We cannot wait to hear about the amazing and creative new uses that you discover for it!
