Audio Route information
What is Audio Route?
AudioRoute captures whatever your Mac or Windows machine is playing (a browser stream, a Zoom call, a softsynth demo, a reference track) and gets it into your DAW or a file, without aggregate devices, virtual cables, or Audio MIDI Setup.
One install gives you three capture paths: • A VST3, AU, and AAX plug-in you drop onto a DAW track (Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools, Reaper, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, FL Studio) to record system audio straight onto the timeline. • A virtual input device, AudioRoute Input, that appears as a standard microphone in any app that records audio, such as Audacity, OBS, Zoom, Discord, or QuickTime. • A menu-bar and system-tray recorder that captures system audio to a WAV file with one click, no DAW required.
It uses OS-native capture (macOS Core Audio process taps, Windows WASAPI process loopback), so there is no kernel extension, and your speakers, audio interface, and existing routing keep working exactly as before. Built-in feedback protection stops your DAW's own output from being re-captured. Capture supports up to 192 kHz / 32-bit float.
One-time purchase, no subscription. macOS 14.2 or later (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10 or later.
