Per-Application Adjustments
The lower half of SoundSource's main window provides audio controls for individual applications. When you first open SoundSource, it automatically adds several common applications to this list for easy configuration.
The Applications Area
With these controls, you can adjust the volume levels of individual applications, apply audio effects, and adjust the audio devices audio plays from.
Per-Application Audio Controls
The per-application controls provide the ability to adjust audio on an application-by-application basis. That means you can have audio from one app play louder than another, or mute an application entirely. You can also control where audio plays, so different applications play audio through different outputs.
Basic Per-Application Controls
The basic controls for application adjustments are as follows:
(A) Mute Control: Click this to mute an application entirely. It also shows a general volume level, indicated by the number of waves coming out of the speaker
(B) Volume Slider: This slider allows you to adjust the level of audio played by the application.
(C) Magic Boost: Clicking this button turns on Magic Boost, discussed in more detail on the Audio Effects page.
(D) Level Meter: This meter provides a visual representation of audio as it plays.
(E) Output Device Selector: With this menu, you can optionally redirect audio, changing the physical device through which the application's sound is played.
(F) Hide/Show Effects: This control toggles the visibility of the Effects area, and also shows an indicator when audio effects are being applied. See the Audio Effects page for more details
Per-Application Audio Effects
When an application's Effects area is shown, it will look like this:

Here, you can adjust SoundSource's built-in 10-band Lagutin equalizer, or add third-party Audio Unit effects. For more details, see the Audio Effects page.
Editing SoundSource's Applications List
You can add or remove any applications from SoundSource's list to change what applications it can control.
The “Add App” Menu
To add an application to SoundSource's list, click the Add App menu. Here, you'll be able to select an already-running application, or choose any other application on your Mac. Once the app is added to SoundSource, you'll be able to adjust its specific audio controls.
To remove an application from the list, hover over the application's icon to make the Remove button appear. Click it, and the application will be removed.
The Remove Button
Once you remove an application, SoundSource will no longer adjust its audio.
