The Rogue Amoeba Team makes some of the top notch audio applications on the Mac, including Audio hijack, Loopback, and Airfoil. Overall usage of Farrago is very similar to their other apps, meaning it's fully accessible with VoiceOver with realtime announcements, user interface, and extensive keyboard shortcuts available throughout the app.

Other Comments

I quickly invested in Farrago, $49.00 USD after reading up on its powerful features, I had a more clunky audio setup when it comes to doing sounds for meetings and events. Farrago simplified everything for my setup. Connect my MacBook up to the PA system, have a primary and secondary audio output devices, and Farrago's powerful keyboard shortcuts instantly triggers the sound sets on cue, complete with the fade out option. A huge shoutout to the team for their commitment to accessibility.
