Apple platforms provide a comprehensive set of audio frameworks and technologies that are essential to creating a rich app experience. Use them to immerse your users in multichannel audio with spatial rendering, process sound in realtime using AVAudioEngine, and engage the creativity of enthusiasts and professionals through Audio Unit Extensions.

This package contains the files needed for installing the Fractal Audio Fractal-Bot Utility which enables you to easily send and receive data to and from your device. If it has been installed, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix problems, add new functions, or expand existing ones. Airfoil is designed to let you stream audio from a Mac to all sorts of devices, and it is an essential tool for doing this task. But Airfoil Speakers works in the other direction: it turns any Mac. Audacity is a free audio editor. You can record sounds, play sounds, import and export WAV, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis, and MP3 files, and more. Use it to edit your sounds using Cut, Copy and Paste (with unlimited Undo), mix tracks together, or apply effects to your recordings.
