Cable-free audio routing for Mac

With the power of Loopback, it's easy to pass audio from one application to another. Loopback can combine audio from both application sources and audio input devices, then make it available anywhere on your Mac. With an easy-to-understand wire-based interface, Loopback gives you all the power of a high-end studio mixing board, right inside your computer!

Combine Audio Sources

Pull audio from multiple sources into one virtual device! Just add the applications and physical audio devices you want to include to the Sources column to get started.

Powerful Channel Options

Add as many output channels as needed, then configure your routing with easy and powerful virtual wiring. Customizing exactly where audio flows is a snap.

Pass-Thru, Too

A Pass-Thru device allows you to pass audio directly from one application to another, with almost no configuration required. Loopback pipes audio around for you.


Virtual Devices Are Available to All Apps, System-Wide

FaceTime

Play Music And More to Podcast Guests

Combine your mic with audio sources like Music or Farrago, then select your Loopback device as your source in Zoom. Presto! Your guests hear both your voice and your audio add-ons.

Turn Multiple Hardware Devices Into One

Apps like GarageBand, Logic, and Ableton Live are limited to recording from just one audio device at a time. Thanks to Loopback, you can combine multiple input devices into a single virtual device, to record all your audio.

Create Top-Notch Screencasts

Most screen recorders allow you to include your mic's audio, and some may allow recording of system audio, but neither option is ideal. Instead create a virtual device that grabs your mic and the app’s audio to get exactly the audio you want.

Gameplay Recording Feature Icon

Record Gameplay Videos

Making gameplay videos with great audio doesn't have to be difficult. Use Loopback with devices like Elgato's Game Capture hardware to record both your microphone and the game's audio at once!

Pairs Well With Audio Hijack

Make a simple Pass-Thru device in Loopback, then set it as the output on the end of any Audio Hijack chain. Now, you can select that source as the input in any app to have it receive that audio.

So Much More…

Loopback gives you incredible power and control over how audio is routed around your Mac and between applications. We can't wait to hear about the incredible new uses you find for it!

However, the software suffers from technical stagnation. The reliance on Visual Basic for automation (rather than Python or JavaScript) and the lack of live memory editing make it less suitable for modern malware analysis. For static file editing—ROM hacking, save file modding, and firmware analysis—Hex Workshop remains a gold standard.

This is a detailed, paper-style analysis of by BreakPoint Software. It is structured as a technical review and forensic analysis suitable for a computer science or cybersecurity journal. An Analysis of Hex Workshop: A Paradigm of Structure in Binary Data Forensics and Editing Author: AI Research Consortium Publication Date: October 2023 Subject: Digital Forensics, Reverse Engineering, Data Manipulation Abstract Hex Workshop remains one of the most enduring commercial hex editors available for the Windows operating system. This paper examines its architecture, core feature set, and utility in professional environments. By analyzing its approach to large file handling, data structure definition, and checksum computation, we argue that Hex Workshop bridges the gap between simple binary viewers and complex reverse engineering suites. This paper provides a critical evaluation of its performance, security implications, and relevance in the modern era of big data forensics. 1. Introduction The hexadecimal editor is an essential tool in the software engineer’s arsenal, used for low-level data manipulation, malware analysis, and game hacking. While command-line tools like xxd and dd offer utility, graphical interfaces provide a cognitive advantage in pattern recognition.

Hex Workshop occupies a "middle ground." It is more robust than HxD (due to struct mapping) but less powerful than 010 Editor (which features a Turing-complete scripting engine). Its primary advantage is price-to-feature ratio for the casual reverse engineer. 7. Conclusion Hex Workshop is not merely a hex viewer; it is an integrated development environment (IDE) for binary data. Its longevity is attributed to three factors: the intuitive "Workshop" metaphor, robust large-file handling, and the extensible structure viewer.
