Unused audio software and samples

UPDATED 4/8-2026.

Here's a list of all my samples and Mac audio software I've either used or tried (and then uninstalled), or things I haven't tried yet.

It doesn't necessarily mean that something is bad – just that I use other things instead. Or maybe I had to stop using it, because it wasn't updated for Apple Silicon.

Specifically, plugins with an asterisk do not yet work for me in Ableton Live 11 on my MacBook Air M1 2020 with macOS Monterey.

And all the stuff I have decided to keep is listed here.
