In case you missed it above, here's the link (head-fi won't let me make attachments ). I'll probably get around to fixing that this weekend. BetterSound does not mute iTunes, so if you play through the default device, you might hear a short blip from iTunes before BetterSound takes control. I'd suggest turning the volume way way down and then slowly turning it up that way you don't risk your ears or your equipment. If this doesn't hiding doesn't work, the audio output can be totally garbled. VST3NetSend 1 27 2. BetterSound should hide ineligible devices from the list on the preferences screen. Soundflower-Original Alternatives Similar projects and alternatives to Soundflower-Original SoundSource 1 37 0.0 Objective-C Soundflower-Original VS SoundSource Rogue Amoeba’s SoundSource 2.5, with added command line tool for switching audio devices and setting volume. Furthermore, the output device has to be a "simple" stereo device. BetterSound only supports stereo tracks (I think!) and stereo output devices (for sure!). This works just fine when playing from the hard disk, but I'd imagine it would be problematic over wireless networks.

That said, that also means BetterSound has only 1 second to buffer enough of the next track to ensure gapless playback. Gapless playback is possible, there is a 1 second delay between iTunes playing a file and BetterSound responding. The sound device is configured to use its maximum buffer size. 128M is good for about 3 minutes of 32/96. It uses two 128M buffers for smooth playback. In a future version I'll probably get rid of this option and be more clever about choosing bit depth, unless you guys report improved SQ. For instance, the Classé CP-800 only support 24-bit, so all 16-bit files need to be output in 24-bit. Use max bit depth is a bit of a hack, it is there to support DACs that only have limited output bit depths.

Any upsampling/downsampling is done via CoreAudio with the best possible settings and 2x/4x ratios (no 44.1 to 96, instead 44.1 to 88.2). BetterSound will *only* open the device in exclusive access mode. I'm guessing Audirvana probably has the edge, it certainly has many more features and options, but I think I've distilled out the most important ones, like exclusive mode, and made them the default in my app. I can clearly hear differences between BetterSound/Audirvana and iTunes, but not between BetterSound and Audirvana. I'm pretty sure I need a DAC or amp to hear any difference between the two (I'm using the line out on my Macbook Pro). Quality-wise I think it is comparable to Audirvana. There is no UI, except for a preferences dialog where you can choose the output device. Since this is a beta, most of the settings are defaulted to what seems to sound best, so there isn't much to play with. When you run the app, it launches iTunes, you then play a track in iTunes and it plays through BetterSound, kind of like Pure Music does. I'm hoping to add flac support this weekend. So far no flac support so you'll have to transcode to Apple lossless (m4a) to try it.

If you are looking for the best alternative solution, we will recommend Aiseesoft Screen Recorder.Here's the "beta" of my music player, BetterSound.

#SOUNDFLOWER ALTERNATIVES INSTALL#
It is great that you can capture the sound from outside sources as well as audio streams using the utility, but you have to download Soundflower from a reputable source and install it correctly. In fact, this is exactly how I grabbed the audio from the public. It is intended to download/convert a variety of video files, but can also convert to MP3, including the audio only of online/offline video files.

Soundflower, for example, is an open-source utility for Mac OS, designed to create a virtual audio output device than can also act as an input. If using Firefox as your Web browser, I strongly recommend Video DownloadHelper, which I have been using for seemingly forever. However, every coin has two sides, so does freeware.

In the Audio tab, click the Audio Device drop-down and select BlackHole (2ch).

It cannot be denied that open source projects are attractive, partly because they are usually free to use. Enter your radio stations details, they can be found in your Dashboard - Make sure you have a live event scheduled when attempting to broadcast.
