Neale Van Fleet, designer at Rogue Amoeba:

Unlike some more linear updates, the design and conceptualisation of SoundSource 4 began from a nearly blank slate. This is a story of how we got to our eventual release.

Design evolutions like these are fascinating to me. They’re also excellent reminders that designs must evolve and are iteratively becoming better.

On the subject of the software itself, I’ve been using it for a while now to keep separate output volumes for sound effects and app audio. This new version’s boost features are a welcome addition, definitely improving the output from my MacBook Pro’s speakers.
