AudioRoute
AudioRoute captures whatever your Mac or Windows machine is playing (a browser stream, a Zoom or Teams call, a softsynth demo, a reference track) and gets it into your DAW or a WAV file, without aggregate devices, virtual cables, or Audio MIDI Setup.
One install gives you three capture paths: a VST3, AU, and AAX plug-in you drop onto a track in any DAW (Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools, Reaper, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, FL Studio); a virtual input device that appears as a standard microphone in any app that records audio (Audacity, OBS, Zoom, Discord, QuickTime); and a one-click recorder in the menu bar or system tray that captures straight to a WAV, no DAW required.
Tick only the apps you want, so a notification or a browser tab never lands in the take.

Feedback protection stops your DAW's output being re-captur
