Multi-channel support (up to 64 channels)
Zero CPU overhead when idle
Compatible with Core Audio and popular DAWs

Use Cases:

Recording system audio directly into DAWs or audio editors
Creating virtual audio cables for streaming and screen recording
Routing audio between different applications for processing
