Mac: If you want to change which mic is being used on your Mac or swap to different speakers, you can always option-click the sound icon on your menu bar and pick whatever you need. If you want more control of those options, SoundSource 3 is the app you want.
SoundSource 3 is essentially that stop option-click menu supercharged. From the menu bar, you can easily adjust volumes, set pass-thru devices and adjust left/right volume independently. If you do a lot of audio recording or engineering on your Mac, SoundSource has long been a necessary tool, and this newest version cleans up the look of it all. You can check out SoundSource for free for a trial run, or if you already own any of developer Rogue Amoeba’s other software, like Airfoil or Piezo, you can get a free copy of the app.
