![]() If I don’t want ARC or VSX, I just turn plug-ins off in the ROOM control panel. I also have to select which plug-in I want to use, ARC or VSX.Ĭore Audio now outputs to Room. I have to select (a) or (b) in the output column depending on what I want to hear on Playback. ROOM takes a little bit of switching on its own. ![]() Also, the recommendation is to listen to familiar tracks first so I really wanted to listen to AppleMusic through those phones with the plug-in nd not load them into DP first. Having just gotten Slate's VSX Headphone system, I wanted to do the exact same thing through my interface (b) whenever I'm listening to headphones. Like Ron Popeil, I want to "Set it and forget it". Also, I want to listen to Apple Music, Premiere, Finale, Logic (then I must) etc. I just wanted a way to insert ARC into this chain for the same reason you do. With (a), there's no extra layer DP outputs to Core Audio. Of course, all my tracking is done with 'phones. In short,Ī) My monitor speakers are driven by the headphone out on my iMac Pro (Radial MC3, two pairs of speakers A/B, JBL Sub)ī) My headphones are driven by the interface I am using at the time (M My setup is probably different than most and I'm certain that I've never described it. I made that work in the free version of Room.įirst, the free version of Caster let me add plugins but called that a Pro (paid) feature if I wanted to actually hear them so nuts to that, downloaded and ran the Uninstaller. I think there was something else I don't remember. However, I sort of found the extra layer between DP and the 828es unsettling and stopped using it. I was looking for a solution to have ARC3 running "system wide" so that I wouldn't have to remember to disable the plug-in on a bounce. ![]() I have the free version of Room and it appears to work okay. Thing is that I can see how to do it in Blackhole - if I want to spend a week setting it up in Terminal till I get it right… yea… No thanks. Their $79 Caster Live should be able to do it I think but, like Audio Hijack, that's not its stated purpose. Ginger Audio's $109 Room Control Pro should be able to do it plus a ton of other tasks I'll never need-like using a tourniquet on a hangnail. Rogue Amoeba also has Soundsource for $39 that supposedly does what I want… perhaps, maybe… I might download the demo and see if I can make it work if I don't get a workable solution on AH. Since I have a license, I've reached out to Support. I've tried a Manual setup without the Record module(s) but have not made it work. Supposedly, Audio Hijack can do this but I can't make it work-unless I want to record the results and that's not what I want to do. Obviously you can do that with any DAW, but I wanted something simple that autostarts and keeps it’s settings, with no requirement to start a DAW to host the plugin. The additional thing I wanted was to be able to insert a plugin on the signal passing in or out of the virtual driver. So this can be used to apply a little EQ or dynamics, e,g, using the Apple AU effect plugins, to system audio without any user intervention other than starting up the Mac.įor EQ, there is a simpler app called EQMac, but in the free version, it’s EQ setting are not that flexible.Īfter investigating these options, I had to wonder why macOS, which provides a system settings panel for audio, and a set of quite good audio plugins, hasn’t connected the two, and provided plugin inserts in Sound settings panel (or preference pane, depending on your OS version.). It has a lot of features useful to Podcasting, but can load any AU or VST plugin at the input or output stage, can autostart, and keep it settings across sessions without user intervention. ![]() It’s from Ginger Audio and is called Caster. I found there is a free version of the update to GroundControl Square, that works with the GroundControl or other virtual drivers. There are a lot of simple AU and VST hosts but most require a VI as an audio signal source and don’t autostart or keep settings. No doubt fine if you use everything it does, but not worth the price for my limited requirements for a basic audio driver not connected with a specific piece of hardware. Or you can just use the 2 channel version to record audio from a screen capture in Quicktime. It has a 64 channel version, so you could use it to slave Logic to DP and use it as a huge outboard effects and instruments rack. It gives the basic ability to connect various audio sources and destinations, and is stable (for me). Looks like the Blackhole update has solved my immediate problem. ![]()
