SoundSource: Simplify Your Audio Interface
If you’ve ever tried your hand at podcasting, you’ve undoubtedly been through your share of frustration with microphones, sound settings, recording applications, and Skype dropped calls. Well I can’t solve all your problems right here, but I think I can help with one.
SoundSource is a freeware app from the great developers at Rogue Amoeba. Quite simply, SoundSource sits on your toolbar at the top right of your screen, and allows you to switch between different audio input and output devices. It may seem unnecessary, but after trying to dig through numerous system preference menus just to switch between your built in mic and usb headset, SoundSource is a welcome simplification of the process. SoundSource is available from Rogue Amoeba for free.
This menu sums up SoundSource pretty good.
I can’t live without this menubar app. I have a few usb speakers and this allows me to easily switch back and forth between the audio sources.
A must have for any Mac musician!
