macOS menu bar app + virtual audio drivers
AudioSquidPatch
Route audio from any DAW to any app.
Virtual audio devices for Pro Tools, Source-Connect, Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, and more — managed from your menu bar.
AudioSquidPatch is professional macOS audio-routing software for remote post, ADR, dubbing, and hybrid collaboration. It registers named virtual devices with Core Audio so any DAW can send and receive audio to any collaboration app — without per-app plugins or fragile aggregate-device hacks.
- Menu bar control of virtual devices, patchbay, mixer, and talkback
- Named workflow devices visible in Audio MIDI Setup and every app’s I/O menus
- DAW ↔ Zoom, Meet, Teams, and Source-Connect routing for remote sessions
- Console-style meters, faders, and mutes with saved session layouts
- Ownership options for post facilities and freelance mixers
- Clean Red Squid-native HAL stack — not a plugin inside the DAW
Built for: Post houses, remote ADR and dubbing engineers, and mixers routing program, talkback, and talent between DAWs and collaboration tools.
Why we build software
We run production and post. Our apps solve problems we hit on real jobs.
SnapTime
Read. Log. Share. Timecode on set.
SnapTime turns the phone you already carry into a portable SMPTE timecode hub for film and TV. Generate hardware-lockable LTC, listen to existing timecode from audio interfaces, log multiple devices on set, and keep a clear, honest view of sync — without pretending a phone replaces dedicated high-end timecode hardware on every show.
- Large master timecode display built for dark sets
- Professional LTC audio output for recorders and cameras
- Listen path to decode live LTC and identify common frame rates
- Multi-device logging with a live list of on-set status
- Blackmagic camera live timecode over Bluetooth for multi-camera work
- Clock health and drift transparency instead of hidden assumptions
- Photo and smart-capture path for logging device displays
Built for: 1st ACs, sound mixers, DITs, script supervisors, and small-unit crews who need to verify, share, and log timecode fast.
