A free macOS utility that routes five separate app outputs into five channels on a RODECaster Pro II.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

The utility creates five selectable macOS audio outputs—System, Game, Music, Virtual A, and Virtual B—and maps them to corresponding mixer sources. The page specifies a RODECaster Pro II in Multitrack USB mode, macOS 14 or later, and separate first-run board configuration. It runs from the menu bar, includes optional adaptive clock correction, and identifies itself as version 0.1.0. Installation requires an administrator password and microphone permission, with the site stating that audio is passed through rather than recorded.
