    Made a short Windows follow-up to the Mac shortcut video I posted a few days back — recording system audio to a WAV file with a single keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + R).



    Feedback welcome!

    AudioRoute 0.2.1 is out. Feedback Protection got a meaningful pass:
    • FP now identifies the running host by name and version. Instead of a generic "DAW detected" you get "Excluding Cubase 15", "Excluding Logic Pro", "Excluding Ableton Live 12" — surfaced in both the menu-bar tray and inside the AudioRoute Capture plug-in window (screenshots attached).

    • Detection itself got smarter. In sandboxed AU hosts (Logic 11+, Cubase 12+, etc.) the plug-in's parent process is Apple's sandbox helper, not the DAW — earlier versions hit launchd and gave up. AR now walks the process tree and cross-references running apps via NSWorkspace, so those hosts are correctly identified.
    • The FP toggle is global now: one switch covers plug-in, virtual audio device, and direct-to-WAV recorder.
    • Turning FP off shows a confirmation explaining the feedback-loop risk, with a "Don't show this again" once you've made an informed choice.

    Also in 0.2.1:
    • Fix for AudioRoute showing up as a false positive in corporate endpoint-security tools (Jamf, Crowdstrike, SentinelOne). The LaunchAgent plist now writes directly to its final name — earlier versions used a temp-rename pattern that those tools flagged as "Hidden Launch Plist Created" (MITRE T1564.001).
    If your IT flagged AudioRoute on a managed Mac, this clears it up.
    • Improved diagnostics under the hood — helps me ship fixes faster when something goes wrong.
    • Fix for a crash that could happen when toggling FP off in 0.2.0.
