Three ways to capture

One install, three recording paths. Pick whichever fits your tool.

Ableton Live recording from AudioRoute Capture VST plugin

1. Inside your DAW

Drop the AudioRoute Capture VST3/AU plugin onto a track in Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, or Reaper. System audio flows in, ready to record.

2. As a virtual mic

Select AudioRoute Input as the recording device in Audacity, OBS, Zoom, QuickTime — anything that sees an audio input.

AudioRoute menu bar app — record to file

3. Direct to file

One click in the menu bar app. Captures to a clean WAV file at your chosen sample rate and bit depth. No DAW needed.

In your DAW

Record system audio onto any track

AudioRoute installs a native VST3 and Audio Unit plugin called AudioRoute Capture. Drop it onto an audio track and your DAW sees the entire macOS audio output as input — perfect for sampling, podcasts, lessons, or capturing reference tracks.

  • Universal: VST3 + AU, Apple Silicon & Intel
  • Sample-accurate, low-latency
  • No buses, no cables, no Loopback fees

  • Feedback protection built in

Built for daily use

Polished where it matters

Menu bar app

Lives quietly in your menu bar. Status, levels, and one-click recording — always one click away.

Floating overlay

Optional always-on-top recording indicator with a stop button. Stays out of the way.

Auto-updates

Sparkle-powered background updates. New features land automatically — for life.

Format your way

Choose sample rate (auto, 44.1k, 48k, 96k, 192k) and bit depth (16, 24, 32-bit float).

Feedback safe

Built-in feedback protection prevents the howl when you accidentally route audio back into itself.

Light on resources

Native Apple Silicon. Zero CPU at idle. Doesn't fight Core Audio.

Questions

Frequently asked

What does the trial include?

Everything. Full access to the menu bar app, the VST3/AU plugin, the virtual audio device, and all formats. After 14 days (or 21 for waitlist users) you'll need a license to keep recording.

Do you support Windows?

Not yet. AudioRoute is currently macOS only (Apple Silicon & Intel, macOS 14.5+). Windows is on the roadmap — join the waitlist on the pricing page if you want to be notified.

Will my license work on multiple Macs?

Yes — your license is tied to your account, not to a single machine. Use it on any Mac you own.

How is this different from Loopback or BlackHole?

Three differences. (1) One install: AudioRoute gives you both a virtual device and a DAW plugin — most tools give you one or the other. (2) One-time price: pay once, lifetime updates — no subscription. (3) Native HAL driver: it's a real audio device, not a workaround.

Refund policy?

14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Email [email protected].

Is there a subscription?

No. AudioRoute is one-time payment, lifetime updates, no renewal.
