Running with very low latency and cpu usage, Soundflower allows each client application to use its usual buffer size. Also, it looks like it’s coded in C++, so anyone interested could jump right in! The most recent version of it is 2.0b2, which I think is the one I have installed. Soundflower is a virtual audio device that provides an easy and simple way for Max/MSP and other applications to send and receive audio to and from any other application. The original Soundflower app I used was called ‘Soundflower Bed’ which created a startup icon in the toolbar. It looks like the developers changed at one point, but the current version now lives as open source on GitHub (by the looks of it!), which means it is kept updated by multiple developers, and there should always be a stable reference. Also, I've had a couple of clients with tracks that were only available on youtube, so I had to use this method. I don’t regard this as piracy in any way, as I pay for Spotify and purchase from iTunes, and none of these tracks go outside of my studio. I use an app called Soundflower to record audio directly from Spotify and sometimes youtube. If I ever re-mix a Beatles album then I'll probably up my game in quality, but until then, MP3s and streaming are fair game.īack to making the tracks. When I’m mastering, I usually have an iTunes purchased file in place that I already own. MP3s and most streaming services nowadays are a million times better than 5 or 10 years ago, so I’m very happy using them as references. They often advise on NOT using a lower quality file. One note on some articles you might read. Sound on Sound always have great info on this, and you can read a slightly old but still useful article here. There are loads of resources online about mix referencing, which I won’t go into here. The point of this article is about making quick mix reference tracks for your DAW, which are often just snippets.
If you’ve done a lot of mixing, you will definitely have read (or discovered) that mixing using a reference track is an invaluable practice.

The same logic will apply to Windows, but using a different app, so there still should be useful info here for non Mac users. This article is about the use of Soundflower on a Mac/OSX.
