FARRAGO - is a pretty straight forward soundboard for mac, read the info on the site on how to use. LOOPBACK is a bit more complicated but basically after you have your soundboard done in farrago you can use loopback to create a new hardware device you should be able to bring up in garageband like i do in audition. Rogue Amoeba is out with a big update to its popular Farrago audio app for Mac. The “rapid-fire soundboard” software now features a brand new list mode, app-wide volume ducking, per-tile.

Farrago is a must-buy if you’re looking for a soundboard app, but I do have one complaint. As of this writing Farrago does not have a “ducking” feature. A ducking button, commonly used in radio, lets you easily drop the volume of the audio file you’re playing so you can talk over it without being drown out by the music. 🎙 Adobe Audition Presets! 🎧 The audio presets I use. 🎚 Learn how to master audio production. Farrago is the Mac soundboard app that lets you quickly play sound bites, audio effects, and music clips. Podcasters can use Farrago to include musical accompaniment and sound effects during recording sessions, while theater techs can run the audio for live shows.

Adding music or sound effects into your podcast on-the-fly is a great way to enhance the production of your show, but you’ll need a digital soundboard to pull off the magic!

Luckily, one of my favorite Mac app companies, Rogue Amoeba, just launched a new soundboard app called Farrago (… That’s a dumb name).

The new app replaces Rogue Amoeba’s previous soundboard app, Soundboard (this name makes sense). I’d actually been using Soundboard for a few years but it had recently stopped receiving updates, so I’m thrilled that they decided to create an all-new app.

Farrago lets you create a digital soundboard and play music or effects to any output you’d like. It gives you great control of each effect thanks to trimming, volume-setting, color-coding, and other organizational features.

I did not hesitate to buy this app because it’s a modern replacement to the aforementioned Soundboard. I pump music and sound effects into my podcasts on-the-fly by using Rogue Amoeba’s other excellent Mac apps Loopback and Audio Hijack.

Between the powers of Farrago, Loopback, and Audio Hijack, Rogue Amoeba is the best company out there for podcasters who want to create a digital studio. Thanks to them, you don’t need multiple computers, a mixer, or any other traditional radio production products (besides a microphone, of course!).

Farrago is a must-buy if you’re looking for a soundboard app, but I do have one complaint. As of this writing Farrago does not have a “ducking” feature. A ducking button, commonly used in radio, lets you easily drop the volume of the audio file you’re playing so you can talk over it without being drown out by the music. This seems like a gaping hole in the feature line up, and I’ve already contacting Rogue Amoeba about this problem. Hopefully they’ll add it in a future update, especially because it was previously available in Soundboard.

Farrago Soundboard Windows

Currently, the only solution for ducking in Farrago is setting “Volume B” on your file to around 30% and then —
while the file is currently set on “Volume A” — clicking “Volume B” when you want to duck your audio. It seems that the second volume level on each file is the new way to duck, but why not continue calling it ducking? This is a clunkier way of presenting the feature and I think it’s ducking dumb!
