  I presume he/she meant - Is there a way to get RNNoise working on Mac?

Here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59808919/1660678 https://stackoverflow.com/a/59808919/1660678 Then you still get a FAILED: meson-install Permission denied: '/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2' error, so change INSTALL_DIR_MAC in install.sh to~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2 and install via the github page

krisp.ai is good but $3 a month

  For what it's worth, I tried it and it was... not great? Versus piping my audio through OBS as a way of using RNNoise and doing noise gating, OBS retains the original audio quality quite well and does a really good job of removing clicks/clacks/etc. Krisp made my voice sound like I was talking through two tin cans and a string, and, at least in my environment, did not do a very good job of actually removing any of the background sounds. I've also tried it in Discord (as it's integrated directly into Discord) and kept running into a problem of it deciding my own voice was noise and just cutting me out mid word. They have a free tier (gives you 120min/week of noise cancelling), so anyone looking to try it definitely worth using that first. I'd suggest turning on audio monitoring in some headphones and listening to yourself a bit though and deciding if the quality is acceptable to you.

    I've only had excellent experience with Krisp, but I have a semi-pro USB mic I use so perhaps it makes all the difference. Sounds great also with a macbook built-in mic. That said, I'm interested to see open source alternatives as I'm interested to see how they work.

      I've tried it with both a $20 off-brand shotgun mic as well as a Blue Yeti. Not much luck with either. RNNoise did vastly better and the work getting it set up in my audio pipeline certainly wasn't worth $5/mo to avoid. And honestly I could've even lived with that except for the severe degradation in audio quality.
