Someone finally came up with a Soundflower replacement, and its free for Mac users

General News

Summary

Running in the background as a virtual input/output, and appearing in your DAW alongside your in/out interface options, Blackhole can shuttle audio around your system to connect anything to anything under the hood. You could, for example, run one DAWs output into another DAW, record the audio output of your browser in another piece of software, or use Blackhole to divert your Macs alerts and sound effects elsewhere for processing. Time was, you could set your Macs main audio output to Soundflower, then choose Soundflower as an input in your DAW, and hey presto – you got to record anything from your system within your DAW. But then, as the Mac audio archtecture started to change, Soundflower was left unchanged, and eventually began to fail when installed on OS X versions 10.10 and above. Users of newer macOS versions will find Blackhole a simple replacement, although those whove upgraded to Catalina cant be guaranteed an easy ride.
