These updates will run natively on the new Apple Silicon-powered machines, providing the best possible performance. We’re pleased to announce the availability of Universal public betas for all of our products. Today, we have an update especially for users of Apple’s brand-new M1 chip-based Macs. I appreciate that once this post is a year old or more, we’ll be much further down the line with the Apple Silicon migration and this will be less of a concern.Update (December 16th, 2020): All our products now have support for the new M Chip-based Macs. I add this at the time of writing (May 2021) because it’s very relevant right now. As a MacBook Pro M1 owner, this gives me confidence in the product, particularly as ACE is something that runs in the background and potentially impacts so much of the software that I use. Loopback and the Audio Capture Engine (ACE) have been fully M1 and ARM-compatible since December 2020. Functions are provided for installing/uninstalling the server plugin, as well as creating virtual capture devices.” (Rogue Amoeba Website) M1 Compatible? It's provided in two parts: A C library that applications integrate to communicate with ACE, and a CoreAudio server plugin to be installed on the user's computer. The audio can then be read and processed by your application, using entirely standard CoreAudio APIs.ĪCE can be integrated into an existing application in a matter of hours. Any audio that VLC produces will show up as audio input from the virtual capture device. For example, ACE can be used to programmatically create a capture device pulling audio from a running instance of VLC. ACE can be used to provide audio to enhance screen recording, VNC/remote access, game streaming, and much more.ĪCE provides an API for applications to create virtual CoreAudio capture devices, which then pull in the desired audio. “The Audio Capture Engine (ACE) framework provides Mac apps with the ability to capture audio from specific running applications, as well as all audio currently being produced by the system. They describe what ACE is all about much better than I can. The text below is taken directly from the Rogue Amoeba website. It’s all done using Rogue Amoeba’s Audio Capture Engine (ACE). Use discount code ‘TDCAT’ for 15% off the Loopback software (valid until December 31st 2021). ![]() I approached Rogue Amoeba after purchase and mentioned that I was going to review this product and asked if they had any discount codes I could offer to my viewers and readers.

Alternatively, if you have any questions, feel free to get in touch. If you end up with a better understanding of what Loopback is all about, then my work here is done. I'm not sure I made them quite as clear and concise as I could, but hopefully, if you're already familiar with this subject matter, you'll be able to figure out what I was doing and why. I wanted to walk you through some real-life use cases in detail in the video which takes more time. Again, I use the Tidal app and my RME Totalmix software to show you the results.Īpologies for the length of the video. The third demo looks at the default ‘Pass-Thru’ device that Loopback creates. ![]() This is a little more specialist and specific but it gives an idea of what level of control Loopback gives you on a professional multi I/O device.Ĭreating a Virtual Output Device. In the second demo, I’m showing you a bespoke setup within the RME Totalmix software. Setting Up my RME Fireface with Loopback. In this case, Loopback is going directly to the process ID for Tidal so you don’t need to change the output settings in Tidal and you can still monitor that through your speaker or headphones (if you’re on a Zoom call, headphones would be the way to go). This would allow you to not only talk to someone on Zoom but also mix in music directly from Tidal (or whichever music app you want). In this demo, I combine the input from a USB mic and music directly from the Tidal app and show how you can then select this in Zoom. ![]()
