Sean Terry: Glad we can help. And as always, we work hard on our VoiceOver support, but please let us know of any issues!

Branden Plumley: Unfortunately, as with most of our software, Apple's restrictions make it impossible to ship this software in the Mac App Store. But, like all of our software, it will always be sold direct through our store.

Anonymous: Compared to our other software, which is aimed at a mainstream audience, Loopback is a fairly targeted product. It's aimed at a smaller group of largely professional users, for whom it should definitely be worth the slightly higher price. Given the power it provides, and the amount of time and hassle it can save, we're confident it will be.

What is your use case for occasional use? We'd certainly love to hear more about it.

Erion: If Soundflower and Audio Hijack work for you, you should certainly stick with them. But as to advantages Loopback offers? There are several.

Both Loopback and Soundflower can create what we call pass-thru devices. You'll be able to select the pass-thru device as an output in one app and the input in another to pass audio between them. However, unlike Soundflower, Loopback allows you to create as many of these pass-thru devices as you need, with the exact number of channels you need.

Beyond that, Loopback does much more than Soundflower. With Loopback, you can also create custom configured devices, which capture audio from specific devices and/or applications. Create a virtual microphone that grabs from your physical mic and from iTunes, or capture audio from multiple software apps. You can also monitor your devices' audio via another audio device, adjust channel counts, manually map channels, and more.

Also worth noting, as a paid product, Loopback is fully supported. It's built on years of rock-solid and receives frequent updates, making it a reliable tool for use in all setups.

If Soundflower meets your needs, no problem! But we believe there's an opening in the market for a professional tool that's well-maintained, and we're intending to fill it.
