Supported DAWs
Works where your music already lives.
No new studio to learn. False Audio is a set of AU and VST3 plugins for macOS that sit in the DAW you already use. Its processing lives in its own Link plugin, so a move sounds the same whichever DAW you choose.
Hosts
Tested, and should work
Logic Pro is the host we’ve tested end to end. The others load AU or VST3 plugins on macOS, so False Audio should work in them, but we haven’t finished testing it there yet.

Setting up
A few tips, for any DAW
- Put a Link on every track you want False Audio to work on. It can’t reach a track without one.
- Some hosts don’t pass the track name to plugins. If a Link shows no name, type a label in its header, like “Lead Vox”.
- On instrument tracks, put the Link after the instrument, so it hears the sound and not the MIDI.
- If your DAW doesn’t list the plugins after you install them, rescan its plugins. In Logic Pro: Settings, Plug-in Manager, then Reset & Rescan Selection.
