One limitation on this application is delay. It also has an equalizer and Applescript support. The program synchronizes them both so you can really get the neighbors upset. So lets say you have two stereos attached to Airport Express units in different parts of your house. But I digress.Īirfoil even can drive multiple Airport Express units. I’ve been using that site, along with Airfoil, to make all sorts of strange sounds come out of my home stereo … from nuclear explosions to balloon animals.
This really dovetails with my latest obession, Tim’s link to in episode #115. It worked with every Media Player I have, dashboard widgets, system audio, and even web sites. Using this application you can route any source of audio from your Mac to your Airport Express. Rogue Amoeba’s Airfoil is the perfect way to unleash your Airport Express from iTunes only playback. I was explaining this problem to one of my favorite Apple Store geniuses when he just smiled and said … “Oh. I have an airport express that allows me to play iTunes through the stereo so why not Logic and GarageBand? I kept looking for a way to hack around my airport express but never quite got it to work.
I wanted to rattle the house with my subwoofer. Sure I can plug in headphones but I wanted more. Specifically, when I’ve to several instruments playing at once it is hard to get a feel for the right levels through my MacBook’s speakers. I’ve even posted a few of my songs up on .Īnyway, one problem I ran into when recording music was decent playback. Somehow I’d lost touch with music over the past 20 years but since the Mac makes it so easy, I’ve found myself really enjoying a resurgance of music in my life. Before going to college I used to play the saxophone and piano professionally. I really love all the creative things I can do with my Mac.
