About macOS Audio

Mac OS X Audio

macOS Audio began as “The Ultimate OS X Music and Audio Production Site” at OSXAudio.com, featuring forums and product news in a unique blue and orange color scheme. Tony David Cray (TDC) launched the website in 2003. A beacon throughout the Mac-based recording industry, it drew in professionals and amateurs alike. macOS Audio boasts a rich history of shared knowledge and anecdotes when it comes to recording studios, production, music theory, the music industry, hardware, software, techniques, and problem solving for all of the above.

A few years in, OS X Audio became the Big Blue Lounge, going all-in on the color scheme and focusing on the forums alone. TDC, however, now the Grammy Award winning head of recording and broadcast at the Sydney Opera House in Australia, had less and less time to devote to the care and feeding of the website. It fell into disrepair for two painfully long stretches, resulting in the loss of the bigbluelounge.com domain name and many frequent visitors.

In 2009, a handful of members banded together to rebuild. The user database was packed up and transmitted across the world to America, where it became Mac OS X Audio. Original member and multiple gold record award winning producer and songwriter Glenn “G” Gutierrez is now the owner and primary editor of the website, where Mac recording news and discussion continues locally and across social networks. JP Nebres and Matt Villacarte assist with special events and media production. The site is healthy, it has thousands of followers on Twitter and Facebook, and those who love keeping it that way look forward to the future, with an appreciative nod to the past.

In 2016, Apple changed the name of OS X to macOS. Our name and links followed, and here we are.
