Meet Farrago, Our Brand-New Soundboard App!
|
|
|
|
|
|
We've just shipped a brand-new soundboard tool for MacOS: Farrago. It provides the best way for podcasters, theater techs, and other live performers to quickly play sound bites, audio effects, and music clips. Add impromptu musical accompaniment and sound effects or run entire scripted performances. With Farrago, your entire library of audio is at your fingertips.
Rather than writing too much about it, I thought I'd let Farrago introduce itself with a quick 1-minute movie. Just click to play!

You can learn more about Farrago by checking out the introductory blog post. Of course, you can also visit the Farrago page to download a free trial. We hope you'll check it out, and let us know what you think!
Also, if you're a fan of software design, you won't want to miss the “Designing Farrago” blog post from our designer Neale. In it, he reveals early sketches of the app and reviews many of the decisions made during development.

Apple's new HomePod speaker is starting to arrive today, and we're pleased to confirm that our home audio streaming tool Airfoil can send audio directly to it. Once you’ve got your HomePod set up, Airfoil will be able to stream any audio from your Mac directly to the speaker.

You also may have heard about the new AirPlay 2 protocol Apple announced last June. It's currently delayed, and we're awaiting more details from Apple. It is worth noting that one of AirPlay 2's announced features, the ability to play audio to multiple devices in sync, is already possible today using Airfoil. If you're interested in streaming audio to devices all around your house, check out Airfoil now.
