Recommended tools

SuperCollider is nice but you are likely to want to interface it with the outside world. It is nice to be able to send / receive audio signals from other applications and to record SuperCollider in a DAW or any other audio software you'd like to use. On this small website, I'll assume that you have some tools ready to use like:

A good Digital Audio Workstation (DAW):

  • Reaper: a DAW that is free to try and cheap to buy. It is very powerful and well done, works cross-platform. It is equivalent if not better to other commercial DAWs and can cover any need you might have.

A good audio routing tool:

  • Blackhole (MacOS): audio routing tool for MacOS. It is free and open-source. It creates virtual audio devices that you can use to route audio between applications.
  • Loopback (MacOS): a commercial audio routing tool for MacOS. Expensive and powerful.
  • Jack (Linux / Windows): audio routing tool and audio server. It is free and open-source. It creates virtual audio devices that you can use to route audio between applications.
  • Vb-Audio Voice Meeter (Windows): a popular audio routing tool for Windows. Never used, but seems to be very popular.

Some other suggestions:

  • VCVRack: a free and open-source modular synthesizer that can be used as another tool to have fun with audio. It is very powerful and can be used as a standalone application or as a plugin in a DAW. It is cross-platform.
