Your computer, arranged.

All those sounds.
A place for each one.

Some audio is for you. Some is for an audience. Some belongs in a conversation. DARA brings your Windows apps and audio devices into one mixer, with separate channels and independent sends.

Route a source, shape its sound, and decide how much reaches each output. Keep the whole setup together in a scene.

Independent output mixes

What you hear doesn’t have to be what they hear.

Keep music up in your headphones and lower it for your stream. Send your microphone to a call. Leave the game out of it.

Each destination gets its own balance of the same sources. Changing one mix doesn’t mean rebuilding the others.

For you

Your headphones, with the balance you want to hear.

For your audience

A separate mix for the stream, with music sitting behind your voice.

For the conversation

Your microphone and the sources you choose to share.

Sound, at the source

A rack for every channel.

A microphone needs different treatment from a game or a playlist. Build the processing around the source.

Start with the essentials.

Use built-in EQ, compression, gate, and noise reduction to shape a channel before it reaches your outputs.

Bring your own effects.

Add compatible VST3 and CLAP plugins to the channel’s processing chain. Plugin compatibility varies.

Shape the response.

Move a band to change its frequency and gain. Open Advanced to adjust its width or bypass an individual band.

Drag a numbered handle. Mouse or pen can click near a band. Arrow keys adjust frequency and gain.

A setup worth keeping

Settle into a scene.

Channels, routes, racks, and send levels belong together. Save them as a scene, and return to that arrangement when it’s time to stream, join a call, or listen.

What makes a useful scene?

Start with one activity. Add the sources you use, choose their destinations, and adjust each mix. Save the arrangement once it sounds right.

Build a second scene for a different activity, so the next session starts with your routing and processing already in place.

Frequently asked
questions.

Read the manualsupport@daraaudio.com

Does this replace my audio interface?

No. DARA sits between your programs and whatever hardware you already have. It presents virtual devices to Windows and sends the finished mix to your real output.

Do I need to reconfigure every app?

Only the ones you want on their own channel. Anything left alone keeps playing through the system channel.

Can OBS or a meeting app record a DARA bus?

Yes. DARA presents virtual recording devices, so another program can select a finished bus as its microphone or recording input.

Is there a trial?

No. Use the browser demo to explore the real product interface before buying.

Will my own plugins load in it?

DARA can host compatible VST3 and CLAP plugins as channel effects, or as instruments on a MIDI channel. Compatibility can vary by plugin.
