Every sound on your Mac, the way you want it.

Built on its own audio driver

Re-Q comes with a driver of its own, so every app on your Mac plays straight into it. No loopback devices to install, no aggregate devices to juggle, and nothing to set up in advance.

• Every app, caught

  Music, games, calls, the browser. Whatever plays, Re-Q hears it first.

• As many channels as you need

  From plain stereo up to 256 channels, and change it whenever you like.

• Surround ready

  Run stereo, 5.1, 7.1.4 or 9.1.6, and choose which channel each speaker gets.

• Installs from the app

  One click puts it in place, and Re-Q keeps it up to date.

• Open source

  The driver's code is public, so you can see exactly what runs on your Mac.

Send any sound anywhere

Route each app to its own speakers or headphones, and decide where every channel lands on every device.

• Every output at once

  Play to your speakers, your TV and your headphones together, each with its own sound.

• Apps where you want them

  Keep a call in your headphones while the music plays on the speakers, Dolby Atmos and all.

• Spatial audio on any headphones

  Hear a 7.1.4 or 9.1.6 mix all around you, on any pair you own.

• Maps that follow your layout

  Change your speaker layout and every connection moves with it.

Every speaker, perfectly in time

Play to your AirPods, your speakers and your TV at once, and hear one sound, not an echo. Re-Q works out how late each device plays and holds the quicker ones back, so they all land together.

• Bluetooth and wired, together

  Wireless headphones run far behind wired speakers. Re-Q lines them up, so they play as one.

• Automatic, as devices come and go

  Connect a device, unplug one or change a sample rate, and everything is lined up again straight away.

• Fine tune any device

  A trim for the odd device that gets its own delay wrong, nudged until it sounds right.

• Video stays in sync

  Re-Q tells your Mac exactly how late its sound is, so video lines up with it, even on Bluetooth headphones. Switch outputs and it keeps up straight away.

Setups that switch themselves

A configuration is a whole setup: which outputs play, how channels are mapped, which layout the driver uses and how every effect is wired. You draw when it turns on as a graph, and Re-Q switches it the moment the answer changes.

• Triggers you choose

  Devices connecting, apps playing or in front, a microphone in use, the time of day and the day of the week, a Wi-Fi network, displays, battery, the lid, the screen lock and how long you've been away.

• Logic you can see

  Compare and count what's going on, wire the answers through And, Or, Xor, Not and Nand, and watch each wire light up as it turns true.

• Its own version of everything

  Each configuration gets its own branch of every effects graph, its own channel maps, and its own blocking and driver settings.

Shape every sound

Wire effects together on a canvas for each output, input or app. Every change is heard instantly, and a live analyser shows exactly what your graph is doing.

• Split, process, merge

  Split a sound by channel, by frequency band or into mid and side, treat each part on its own, then merge it back together.

• Effects that react

  Switch between paths as the level, the stereo width, the volume or the sample rate changes.

• Your own library

  Save a single effect or a whole group of them, and drop it onto any graph.

Record what you hear

Capture any output, input, app or the whole Mac, at the stage you choose: straight from the app, after spatial audio, or with every effect applied.

• Starts when the sound does

  Arm it and walk away. Takes that never heard a thing are cleared away for you.

• One file, or one per source

  Keep everything together, or every source on its own track.

• Safe when things change

  Unplug a device or change a rate mid take, and the recording ends cleanly.
