Audio Software for Mac
This is where I keep the technical notes on every audio program that lands on my Mac. Forty entries and counting — DAWs, samplers, modular synth environments, DJ decks, and the plugin suites that glue a mix together. If you're looking for a reaper daw torrent or a fresh build of Ableton Live, you'll find the setup details here: Apple Silicon native or Rosetta, minimum macOS version, and what lands in /Applications versus what hides in ~/Library/Audio.

What lives in audio/
I cover the big names — Logic Pro, Cubase, Kontakt, Serato DJ Pro — and a few utilities like Loopback that solve very specific routing headaches. Each entry breaks down supported plug-in formats (AU, VST3, AAX), bundled sound library sizes, and whether the installer is a straight .dmg or something that needs more care. No marketing, just what actually installs and how it behaves.
