The problem

Every audio tool was built
for someone else.

The powerful one looks like 2008. The clean one only works for streamers. The integrated one is locked to one brand of gear. Pick a trade-off.

Patchd is for everyone making something with sound.

Built for what creators
actually need.

Patchd brings every audio source into one polished workspace. Mics, instruments, virtual outputs, system audio, game audio, streaming inputs. Route them anywhere. Hear them in real time. Color-coded so you always know what's going where.

Questions creators are asking.

Does Patchd work with my existing audio interface?
Yes. Patchd works alongside any hardware audio interface using native ASIO or WASAPI Exclusive. Your audio hardware doesn't need to change.
What's the latency really like?
Sub-10ms on consumer-grade hardware. Lower with ASIO interfaces. Built specifically for real-time monitoring, recording, and live streaming workflows.
Do I need a powerful PC to run Patchd?
No. Patchd is built lean. If you can run modern audio software, you can run Patchd.

Core routing, up to 4 audio channels, basic effects, and community support. Plenty for most casual setups.
