Quick Configs in SoundSource enable you to save and quickly recall groups of audio settings for your Mac. They’re accessed via the Quick Configs button, located in the bottom-right corner of SoundSource's main window.
Each saved quick config stores a wealth of settings within SoundSource, including your system device selections, volume levels, effects settings, per-application settings, and favorite applications. Once saved, switching between configurations will change settings throughout SoundSource.
To create a quick config, start by setting up SoundSource exactly as you want it: choose your system devices, change volume levels, add effects, and adjust app-specific settings. Then, open the Quick Configs menu and select Save As… (or press Cmd-Shift-S). Enter a name for your config and click Save.
To load a saved config, click its name in the Quick Configs menu. Your settings in SoundSource will be updated immediately. If you've assigned a keyboard shortcut to a config, you can press it at any time to load that configuration instantly.
After loading a config, you can modify settings and save your changes back to it. When you've made modifications, the menu will display a Save Changes to [name] option, listing the most recently loaded config. Click it (or press Cmd-S) to update the config with your latest settings.
You can customize your saved configurations by selecting the Manage Quick Configs… option from the Quick Configs menu. This will display a sheet where your configs are organized, allowing you to make changes.
Each config can have a custom icon to help you visually distinguish between different configurations at a glance. Click the icon to the left of your config’s name to open the icon picker, which offers a variety of symbols to choose from. Select the icon that best represents your configuration's purpose.
To give a config a more descriptive name, click on the edit icon next to its name in the organizer. The name will become editable, allowing you to type a new one. Use the accept check button or Return key to save your changes. To cancel, use the Escape key or click the decline button.
For even faster access to your configs, you can assign global keyboard shortcuts. Click the keyboard icon to the right of your config name, and press your desired key combination. The shortcut will be recorded and can be used at any time, even when SoundSource’s window isn’t visible.
To update or clear a shortcut, click the saved keyboard shortcut to edit it. Then, record a new shortcut or click the Delete button (x) to remove it.
If you no longer need a particular config, you can remove it by clicking the Delete button (x) next to it in the management sheet. After confirming, the config will be permanently deleted from your saved configurations.
