Izotope offers the free reference mix streaming/comparison plug-in: Audiolens: https://www.izotope.com/en/learn/introducing-audiolens-referencing.html

Thanks, David. Have you seen the installation instructions for this free plugin? Installation is a bit strange...or different, I should say, for M Chip Macs. The program runs in the background?

Yes that's because that plug-in makes use of the ACE driver so you have to install that first (https://support.izotope.com/hc/en-us/articles/7209907906589-Installing-ACE-on-MacOS-11-Big-Sur-and-MacOS-12-Monterey-). However it doesn't look like the AudioLens installer can install/find the ACE driver for me (M1 Mac). Hmmm....

What does this mean exactly below? Taken from the installation page referenced above: 

'ACE is actually a standard audio plug-in, not a kernel extension. However, it receives enhanced privileges to access your system's audio, so Apple uses their existing kernel extension verification system on MacOS 11 and MacOS 12 to allow ACE to load.'

It means that the plug-in can be used as an audio driver for example to route audio between apps on the Mac. I'm still unable to install audiolens here. I've reached out to Izotope and will report back if they reply. 

Similar to the Blackhole app? I use this app all the time.
