Source

The Source module determines the input of the channel strip. Choose from AU or VST instruments, audio inputs, ReWire, an audio file or sample, a network, or a send from another channel strip!

Inserts

Take advantage of the Pre-fader Inserts and Post-fader Inserts modules to to use up to sixteen AU or VST effects per channel. Easily add, remove, bypass, rearrange, and copy and paste effects with just a few clicks!

Sends

With the power of the Pre-fader Sends and Post-fader Sends modules you can capture exactly what you want and route it to any other channel.

Fader

The Fader module features a beautiful LED style level meter, mute and solo buttons, pan control, a section for custom naming the channel strip, and a life-like fader with adjustable headroom!

Output

With the Output module you specify the audio output. You can also create Audio Bundles with custom names for a specific set of outputs.

Master Section

The new Master Section offers a wide range of control over the Console. It includes a Power button to quickly turn the Console on or off (turns everything on or off, including all instantiated effects and instruments), a Record button to capture the Console's output and save it as a Wave Editor, AIFF, Wave, Sound Designer II or CAF file, and a Mute button to mute the entire Console. It also features a master fader and meter for just the right amount of control, a sequence section for loading MIDI files or syncing to an external host, and a CPU meter!

Audio Bundles

Audio Bundles make it easy to manage the audio inputs and outputs on your computer and/or audio interface. You simply create a new bundle and assign that bundle the desired inputs or outputs. Then the bundle appears in the list of inputs or outputs in the Source and/or Output modules!

Our Vision

Audiofile Engineering began in a recording studio, not in a corporate boardroom in an office building. As musicians and engineers who have invested blood, sweat, and tears into the world of creative audio software, we are too often surprised by an ugly truth: end-user support is seriously lacking.

From day one at Audiofile Engineering we have devoted ourselves to keeping in touch with our user base. We believe that the center of our business, and even the process of creating our software, rests within each and every one of our customers – with you. And if you run into trouble, we want to be there to help.

Not Your Parents' Help Menu

Actual, honest-to-goodness, end-user tech support is built-in to every one of our apps. Look in each application's menu for Support and check it out.

Learn more by watching our tutorial Screencasts, check for an update of the software, read Release Notes and new features, manage your License keys, or communicate with a real, living, human being on our Support staff.

The Help Desk tab is where you can let us know when you believe you've found a bug, or when you have a great idea for a future feature, and even review all past communications with the Support Team. No more digging through emails, or following links in your web browser. We've put the most important bits right at your fingertips.

We're All In This Together

We work hard to provide unparalleled technical support, and strive to keep improving our development workflow and quality control to prevent issues from happening in the first place. We utilize modern and effective tools that allow us to support you in the best way possible, no matter where in the world you are.

But we can't do it alone – we need you to stay in contact.

Tell us when you need help, let us know when things aren't working the way you expect and especially when they seem unclear. Send us your most desired feature requests, and share stories about how you are using and enjoying the software we've created. This feedback will give us what we need to continue to build and refine the most useful and enjoyable applications you've ever used.

When in doubt, just email us directly at support@audiofile-engineering.com.
