In this thread I’ll compile relevant blog articles and videos on how to route audio and MIDI on Windows and macOS.
–
What applications to use to route MIDI?
- macOS has a nice built-in feature called IAC (Inter-app Communication) that allows you to connect MIDI applications together and communicate with each other.
- Windows doesn’t have this feature built-in, but there are third-party applications like LoopMIDI (free) and LoopBe (free)
–
What applications to use to route audio?
- On macOS you will typically use Blackhole (free), Loopback or JACK (free)
- Windows users will use VB-Cable, JACK or VB-Matrix (free).
