Fast Access to System Devices
Control the settings for your Mac’s Output, Input, and Sound Effects audio devices right from your menu bar.
Per-Application Audio Control
Change the volume of any app relative to others, and send individual apps to different audio outputs.
Add Effects
Make any audio sound great, with powerful built-in effects, as well as advanced Audio Unit support.
A Refined Interface
To start, you’ll notice that SoundSource’s menu bar icon now always shows your Mac’s volume level, as well as indicating when sound is entirely muted.
Next, the main window has slimmed down, while still providing all the controls and info you need. And the new Compact view saves even more screen space, while still offering access to all the essentials.
From subtle animations and artwork enhancements, to support for matching the system accent color, there’s much more to see. The new interface is truly a sight to behold.
Automatic App Handling
With version 5, you no longer need to manually manage the applications SoundSource controls. Instead, everything is handled automatically. When an app produces audio, SoundSource will add it to its list, ready for you to make your desired adjustments.
Of course, SoundSource also keeps this list tidy. It removes apps when they stop producing audio, while also storing your desired adjustments for the future.
If you want to make sure an application is in the list even when it’s not producing audio, you can still do that as well. Just click the “Favorites” star to ensure the app is shown even when it’s not producing audio.
Effects Improvements
If you use SoundSource to apply audio effects, you’ll really appreciate the enhancements we’ve made in version 5. Beginners will appreciate our upgraded built-in effects, with the new Magic Boost 2 as well as an easier to use 10-band equalizer. If you listen with headphones, the new Headphone EQ effect is for you. And audiophiles will love the ability to quickly search installed Audio Units, as well as the support for the newest Audio Unit v3 specification.
With the new pinnable effects, controls are easily accessed no matter what you’re doing. Pin an effect to have it float above everything on your Mac, so you can adjust it instantly.
With version 5, the things you loved about SoundSource have been polished to perfection, and there are plenty of great new additions as well.
