Why Check on AirPods?

AirPods have become the world's most popular headphones. If your mix doesn't translate well to how most people listen, you're missing the full picture.

The old way is slow and risky.

Checking mixes on AirPods used to mean compromising your workflow.

Exporting audio to MP3

Method 1: The Bounce

Exporting to MP3 just to listen.

Problem

You can't fix mistakes in real-time, killing your creative momentum.

DAW audio driver preferences

Method 2: The Driver Switch

Changing DAW output to AirPods.

Problem

Risks crashing large sessions and wastes minutes switching back and forth.

AirCheck routes your mix to AirPods instantly—without touching a single preference.

Simple. Intuitive.

One click to check your mix.

Questions? Answers.

Everything you need to know about AirCheck.

What's the latency? +

The total latency is approximately 70–150ms, which includes buffer latency (~10–90ms depending on your DAW's buffer settings and Live Mode) plus Bluetooth transmission delay (~60ms). This is designed for monitoring and reference checking, not real-time tracking.

How do I install it? +

Download the installer, run it, and the plugin will be installed to your system's Audio Unit and VST3 folders. Then simply load AirCheck on your master bus in your DAW.

Does it work with other Bluetooth headphones? +

Yes! While AirCheck is optimized for AirPods, it works with any audio output device on your Mac, including other Bluetooth headphones, speakers, or wired devices.

Will it interfere with my DAW's audio? +

No. AirCheck routes audio to your selected device independently without changing your DAW's audio device settings. Your interface stays connected and your session remains untouched. Note: When the plugin is active, your main monitor output will be muted to avoid double monitoring—you'll only hear audio through your AirPods.

Is there a trial version? +

Yes! AirCheck is free to download and use. In Demo mode, during music playback, the trial version will generate 1 second of white noise every 30 seconds. To remove this limitation, simply purchase a license and activate it in the plugin (one-time internet connection required).

What is Live Mode? +

Live Mode reduces latency by using smaller audio buffers (from ~100ms to ~70ms total). Enable it by clicking the LIVE button in the top-left corner. Note: This may cause audio glitches on some systems—use only when you need lower latency for critical monitoring.

Will AirCheck affect my bounce/export? +

No. AirCheck automatically bypasses during offline rendering (bounce/export), so your exported audio will be completely normal and unaffected.

Does AirCheck work on Windows? +

Yes! AirCheck now supports both macOS and Windows. Your purchase includes both versions.

How does Mobile Streaming work? +

Click the Mobile Streaming button in the plugin to generate a QR code. Scan it with your phone, and a web-based player will open in your browser—no app needed. Your computer and phone must be on the same Wi-Fi network (LAN).

Does Mobile Streaming require internet? +

No! Mobile Streaming works entirely over your local network (LAN). No internet connection is required—just make sure your computer and phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi.

What's the latency for Mobile Streaming? +

Mobile Streaming has approximately 300ms latency over LAN. This is suitable for reference listening and checking your mix translation, but not for real-time tracking.

Does AirCheck support Pro Tools? +

Pro Tools (AAX format) is not yet supported.

Can I control the volume independently? +

Yes. AirCheck has its own volume slider that controls the output level to your AirPods without affecting your DAW's master fader.

What channel formats are supported? +

AirCheck supports both stereo and mono audio. The input and output channel configuration must match.

What should I do if AirCheck stops responding? +

Click the Reconnect button to refresh the connection. This rescans available devices and automatically reconnects to your AirPods.
