If you haven't looked at Airfoil for a while, you'll be thrilled to see that installation and updates to Instant On no longer require a restart. Improved Instant On – Capture audio from already-running apps, as well as all System Audio.The new Sync sliders in the "Advanced Speaker Options" window make this possible. However, there may be rare situations where you wish to adjust this, such as when an output is connected to a receiver which adds its own latency. Adjust Sync – Airfoil automatically keeps all outputs completely in sync.Now you can do so, from the "Advanced Speaker Options" window. Hide Speakers – If you regularly connect to a shared network which contains devices you don't control, you may wish to hide them entirely from Airfoil.Now you'll be able to access those exact settings any time you like. Custom Equalizer Presets – Adjust the equalizer to your liking, then save it in the Preset menu.The output device is then freed up for others to use. Silence Monitor – Great for workplace or shared home setups, the new silence monitor allows Airfoil to automatically disconnect itself when it's streaming silence.Now you can send audio exactly where you want even faster.

(We even published “ Take Control of Audio Hijack” back when Tonya and I were running Take Control Books.)Īlthough I don’t need the app often, I particularly appreciate the software artistry that has gone into Airfoil, which lets you broadcast audio from your Mac to other devices around your house. We rely on Audio Hijack to record audio versions of TidBITS articles each week, and we employ Fission to edit those recordings. Since its founding in 2002, Rogue Amoeba has been producing audio software of unusual depth, power, and utility. It’s an atypical amoeba that survives for 15 years without even undergoing binary fission, but Apple software firm Rogue Amoeba has long stood out on the microscope slide. #1657: A deep dive into the innovative Arc Web browser.#1658: Rapid Security Responses, NYPD and industry standard AirTag news, Apple's Q2 2023 financials.#1659: Exposure notifications shut down, cookbook subscription service, alarm notification type proposal, Explain XKCD.#1660: OS updates for sports and security, Drobo in bankruptcy, why TidBITS doesn't cover rumors.#1661: Mimestream app for Gmail, auto-post WordPress headlines to Twitter and Mastodon, My Photo Stream shutting down.
