Mix an app's volume with Ballad

Adjust or mute one active app from the Ballad macOS menu bar mixer.

Outcome

Change one app’s level while leaving your global system volume unchanged.

Before you start

Use macOS 15 or newer, launch Ballad, and allow audio capture when macOS asks. Start playback in the app you want to adjust.

Steps

  1. Click Ballad in the menu bar.
  2. Find the app in the mixer list. If it is absent, start or resume playback and use Refresh.
  3. Drag the app’s volume slider to the level you want.
  4. Use the speaker button to mute or unmute that app.
  5. Close the popover. The adjustment applies in real time.

Expected result

The selected app changes level while other apps keep their own levels. The activity meter shows recent audio activity and does not record audio.

Recovery

If the slider has no effect, restart the app and check Fix audio permission. Use Reset Saved Mixer State in Preferences when an old mute or volume value returns after relaunch.
