Cut without the system fighting you.
Editing means switching between deep-focus music, reference clips on YouTube, client calls on Zoom, and Slack noise from the team. mactooloud holds each of those at exactly the volume the task needs.
Why this gets in your way today.
YouTube reference loudness destroys focus
Final Cut at 70%, then a YouTube reference fires at 100% loudness war loudness. Headphones off.
Client calls overrule everything
Zoom comes in over your edit playback because there's no per-app fader between them.
Browser tab leaks during review
A muted-but-not-muted tab plays an ad during a client review call. Awkward.
How mactooloud handles it.
Per-app volume mixer
Final Cut at 70%, Chrome at 35%, Zoom at 95%. Settings persist; no more re-balancing every session.
Auto-Duck on calls
Client Zoom rings — your edit playback fades automatically. No fumbling.
Browser tab drill-down
mactooloud surfaces the rogue Chrome tab so you can kill the ad, not the whole browser.
