AU Lab
(24 votes, average: 4.25 out of 5)
A terrific, free audio tool is lurking in Mac OS X Tiger’s developer tools. AU Lab is intended for testing Audio Unit effects and instruments, but it’s feature-packed enough to be useful to end users, too. If you haven’t already, install Xcode Tools from your Tiger install disc. Then launch Developer > Applications > Audio > AU Lab, and you’re presented with a powerful mixing, hosting, and recording application — included free with Tiger.

AU Lab is very efficient and has a very high performance and low overhead audio engine capable of supporting multiple outputs, and advanced routing features such as send buses and sidechain buses.
As the image above illustrates, the application provides MIDI clock facilities for audio units that support host clock synchronization, and an inspector that features a cocoa-based generic view of audio units that do not provide their own custom user interface. This inspector includes full support for preset management, and facilities for MIDI mapping of audio unit parameters.
Although AU Lab provides recording controls, it is not designed to be used for extensive recording. It is mainly designed as a platform reference Audio Unit host, and is designed for Audio Unit auditioning and live applications.
