What it does

macOS has one volume slider and no equalizer. SOUND gives every playing app its own 8-band EQ, independent volume, and output device—right from the menu bar. No virtual audio driver or account; audio stays on your Mac. Free and available in 10 languages.

SOUND is a free macOS menu-bar app: a per-app equalizer, volume mixer, and audio output routing for every app on your Mac. Audio is processed locally; no account. By CPL OF MNGS.

Per-app sound control, right from your menu bar; an equalizer, volume, and speaker for every app. An 8-band equalizer for every app playing sound, 63 Hz to 8 kHz, ±12 dB, plus a System master for everything else. Route an app to the system output or pin it to a specific speaker. Music on the good speakers, calls in the headset. Turn one app down without touching the others. No more racing to mute a tab. Start with Flat, Bass Boost, Vocal, Podcast, and Bright; or save your own. Custom presets sync across your Macs via iCloud. A live spectrum glow and a BPM readout show what's playing in real time; and stay quiet when nothing musical is. Flip processing off and every app plays untouched.…from cplofmngs.com
