Online Lab Audio Streaming

Online Music Lab users can choose between two different forms of audio delivery during their sessions. 

  •  Audiomovers Listento plugin is available to stream any quality audio up to  24bit PCM to remote users in real time within any DAW or application that supports AU/VST plugins.  Audio streams can be shared with multiple people in real time to assist in collaboration or instruction. 

 

  • System Audio Streaming is available to users who are using an app that doesn't support plugins or wish a simpler audio solution.  This audio service can be started and stopped before launch a music application using the designated audio streaming apps in the dock. (It is important to remember that both of these options cannot be used at the same time).  System audio streaming requires a lot of bandwidth to function.  If users encounter audio quality issues with music application we'd recommend using the listento plugin solution.
