Lost my 18 year old son just over a year ago, I am frozen in time, everything I did was for him to shine and be his authentic self, which he 1000% achieved in his short incredible life. I will never get over him, I will never stop talking about him and I will probably never not cry for him. There is a million stages of grief and they can beachhead attack at any moment and then let you breathe and the sucker punch you so hard you ponder “the other side”.
Something like this should be default in MacOS. I use blackhole daily in my audio production and sound design practices. If you use a modern audio interface you might have a loopback available there.
macOS 14.2 implemented something like this in Core Audio, but it is not user facing (and also documented extremely poorly). You can create a "Tap" that can capture audio from a particular application, or subset of applications, or an output device. This can then be added to a private or public Aggregate Device (depending on the Tap being private or public).
waiting for a kidney transplant while slogging through dialysis is a brutal experience, the mental and post physical struggle is mad real. I was lucky enough to match with a family member eventually. I can see how on some last resort shit why not try this.
Helm and Surge XT are great synths (and effects in Surge's case). When my nephew wanted to dabble in audio production, I used them to beef up his free copy of Ableton Live Lite.
I always encouraged my son to follow his own interests, but exposed him to what I was into. Once he got to high school and started taking "computer science" he really opened up to it and became passionate about it on his own terms. This was amazing to watch unfold and really morphed our relationship into something even more special. Unfortunately the universe decided it was his time to and he passed away a few weeks ago, a week after his 18th birthday and high school graduation. I know he would've gone on to do marvellous things to help our world become a better place, miss ya bud.
That sounds beautiful and I'm so sorry for what happened. I can't imagine what you are going through, I'm constantly terrified of something like that happening
