- Route and mix audio between microphones, games, music, browsers, chat apps and playback devices. Many inputs can play to many outputs at once.
- A visual node-graph routing page. Lines light up only when the audio engine confirms audio is flowing.
- A mixer page that starts empty. You build the layout from faders, buttons, meters and labels, with multiple pages, undo and redo. Everything is saved in one setup file.
- Routing and audio nodes: merge, switcher, selector, stereo split and join, mono, gain and pan, 6-band parametric EQ, compressor, limiter, noise gate, ducker and delay.
- Scripting and remote control: a small script language, a local HTTP API on
127.0.0.1with a token, a command-line tool and a Python client. - Python plugins, all disabled by default. One example plugin (auto-duck) is included.
- Profiles (for example Gaming, Movie, Late night) and setup files (
*.wiresetup) that you can share by copying the file. - Named, typed virtual cables (Input, Output, BiWIRE) with a guided setup wizard. These need Virtual Audio Cable, see below.
- Meters that show real engine levels, and plain-language error hints.
- A native C++ audio engine on WASAPI with clock-drift correction between devices and click-free changes. WIRE is a single standalone
WIRE.exe.
A short script looks like this:
Strip[Spotify].Gain = -14
Strip[Discord].Mute = off
Bus["Phones mix"].Gain += 2
Node["Music to"].Position = next
Profile = "Game night"
These are plans. There are no dates.
- Capturing audio per application, without virtual cables
- A signed installer and a code-signed exe
- Its own virtual audio driver
- Open the latest release and download
WIRE.exe. - Check the file against the SHA-256 hash in the release notes (see below).
- Run
WIRE.exe. There is no installer.
WIRE.exe is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you the first time. This does not mean the file is damaged. It means Windows cannot confirm who published it. To run it after checking the hash, choose More info, then Run anyway.
Open Command Prompt or PowerShell in the folder with the file.
certutil -hashfile WIRE.exe SHA256
Get-FileHash .\WIRE.exe -Algorithm SHA256
The result must match the hash in the release notes. If it does not, delete the file and download it again.
- Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit
- At least one audio input or output device
- Optional: Virtual Audio Cable, installed separately, for virtual cables
