Capture individual app audio, mic, webcam, and line-in simultaneously — route each source to different stereo outputs with EQ, delay, pan, and gain. All individually toggleable for the cleanest possible signal path.
Add as many input channels as you need. Each one captures a different source — all running simultaneously with independent processing and bus routing.
Any hardware mic, USB mic, or audio interface input. Low-latency direct path when running at native 48kHz — no resampling, no conversion.
Capture audio from any connected webcam or video capture device as an independent input channel. Route it separately from the video app.
Any audio device your Mac can see — external audio interfaces, line-in, BlackHole virtual devices, Loopback, HDMI audio returns.
Capture audio from a single app — browser, Spotify, Zoom, a game — without touching anything else. Each app gets its own channel strip with full processing.
Capture all system audio at once. Everything your Mac outputs, in one channel. Useful as a catch-all alongside individual app captures.
No channel limit. Add a mic, two app captures, system audio, and a webcam all at once. Remove channels with right-click. Each one is fully independent.
Each bus drives a different physical output device — headphones, speakers, a streaming encoder, a recording app. Every input can be routed to any combination of busses.
Everything is optional and individually toggleable. Turn off what you don't need for the cleanest, lowest-latency signal path.
Rotary gain knob on every input. Set your input level before any processing — just like a real mixer's preamp stage.
Choose per channel: simple 2-band (Hi/Lo), standard 3-band (Hi/Mid/Lo), or full 11-band graphic EQ. Available on both inputs AND outputs. Each toggleable on/off independently.
Precision vertical fader with stereo VU metering on every channel — inputs and outputs. Real-time level visualization with green/yellow/orange/red staging.
Full stereo pan control (L/R) on every input channel. Center detent. Route a mic left, an app right, or anything in between.
Mute and Solo on every input. Solo isolates a channel across all busses — perfect for monitoring and debugging your mix. Mute on every output bus too.
Millisecond-precise delay on each output bus. Sync Bluetooth speakers with wired outputs, compensate for video processing latency, or align broadcast feeds.
Mix Desk EQ ships with a free macOS installer package that installs up to 8 independent virtual stereo audio devices based on BlackHole. Pick which devices you need — System, WebRTC, Mix 3–8. Double-click, authenticate, done.
After installation, the virtual devices appear as regular audio inputs and outputs everywhere on your Mac — System Preferences, OBS, Zoom, DAWs, any app that uses CoreAudio. This is what makes the routing possible: Mix Desk EQ sends audio to a virtual output, and your target app picks it up as a regular input device.
Why multiple pairs? Because each bus can feed a different virtual device. Bus 1 → speakers (physical). Bus 2 → virtual stereo device → OBS picks it up as mic input. Bus 3 → another virtual device → Zoom. Each path is independent, each carries a different submix.
🆓 The Audio Driver Installer is free and open source — also available on GitHub.
Presets capture everything: input sources, gain, EQ settings, pan, bus assignments, output devices, delays, mute/solo states. JSON format — human-readable, easy to back up, share between machines.
Native macOS save dialog. Default directory: ~/Documents/MixDeskEQ Presets/. Name your preset, save as .json. All channel strips, all routing, all processing — in one file.
Load any preset and Mix Desk EQ rebuilds the entire mixer: creates channels, assigns sources, sets EQ/gain/pan, routes busses, selects output devices. Your exact setup, restored instantly.
Mix Desk EQ sits at the center of complex audio setups where macOS alone falls short.
Separate mic, game audio, music, and alerts into independent channels. Route a clean submix to your stream encoder while monitoring everything differently in headphones.
Capture your mic and each guest's audio (Zoom, Discord, FaceTime) as separate channels. Apply EQ per person, record a clean mix to one output, monitor on another.
Feed different audio submixes to different outputs — program audio to the encoder, director comms to headphones, house audio to speakers. Sync Bluetooth monitors with delay compensation.
Route DAW outputs to different monitor setups. A/B your mix between speakers and headphones. Use virtual drivers to feed audio between apps without losing quality.
Route your mic + screen share audio to Zoom, but keep notification sounds and music out of the call. Route the call audio to your headphones only.
Game audio, Discord voice, OBS, music — each on its own channel. Mute Discord during recording, keep game audio loud in headphones, send a clean mix to stream.
