SoundDesk can be used by audio professionals to mix and route on the fly, by broadcasters to stream mixed sources, by musicians to multitrack record a live performance, or for anything else that involves mixing and routing digital audio.
You can also load your favorite Virtual Instruments or use it as a MIDI router with SoundDesk's pass-through features.
Features
- ROUTING & MIXING - All channels can receive any input and send it to any output, auxiliary, I/O bus, or master section. Channels can be configured as mono, stereo, auxiliary receivers, or MIDI instruments, allowing users to switch between these options seamlessly. SoundDesk offers up to 99 x 2 inputs, 102 x 2 outputs, 16 x 2 auxiliary sends (pre or post-fader), and 32 I/O busses, per desk.
- PLUGIN HOSTING - SoundDesk offers up to 8 Audio Unit plugin slots on every channel and a maximum of 12 on the master section, so you can use your favourite third-party sound effects and virtual instruments. Additionally, SoundDesk also includes 16 built-in sound processing and metering inserts that leverage the internal cDSP Engine.
- ALL-IN-ONE - SoundDesk can consolidate all your audio devices into a single interface, enabling you to utilize them simultaneously. Starting with macOS 14.5 or later, you can also stream audio from other applications directly from the All-in-One.
- MIDI CONTROL - SoundDesk can communicate with the Mackie Control Protocol, HUI Protocol and standard Continuous Controllers (CC) devices.
