A general mixer was the one thing I really missed from my windows machine when I bought my first Macbook. I wasn't a programmer back then and assumed that since there were practically no apps that allowed you to mix app volumes it was technically very difficult to do on OSX.
I'll be interested to see how you develop this.
- genmon 11y agoRogue Amoeba do a good collection of audio apps: http://rogueamoeba.com http://rogueamoeba.com -- it's possible to add effects, mix, etc. Nothing as simple + dedicated as Background Music tho.
- themartorana 11y agoNo, but I pair Audio Hijack 3 which is just amazing (Audio Hijack Pro was great, the renamed "3" drops the "Pro" and adds gorgeous) with an external Schiit Modi 2 DAC and Vali amp (and some nice Seinheisser headphones) and have fantastic music for sub $500. Background Music could totally slip into this setup!
- voltagex_ 11y agoWhat did you use Audio Hijack for?
- themartorana 11y agoMostly a series of equalizers, and volume control. The amp provides amazing volume control (not much distortion even at high high volume) so I pull it back a bit before sending it through. I have different equalizers so I can turn on and odd discrete passes based on the music. AH's ability to send the sound across multiple output paths is also really nice and I use that (less often) as well.
- stordoff 11y agoIt's a great feature, but Microsoft appears to have crippled it in Windows 10 - none of the Windows 10 native applications (not sure of the correct term, but stuff like MS Store applications and the built-in music/video players) are shown in the volume mixer.
