Real-World Magic: How Musicians Use Our Live Network
Discover the creative possibilities unlocked by ultra-low latency networking
Real-Time Production Sessions
Producer drops a beat in LA, rapper in NYC flows over it instantly. Using AOO SonoBus or our NDI Grid, send your master bus directly to collaborators who can practice, perform, and record in perfect sync. Create a network-fed audio channel and capture their performance directly into your DAW - geography becomes irrelevant.
Global Hardware Sharing
Access legendary gear worldwide. Send vocals through your friend's vintage Neve compressor in Nashville, or DI guitar through that perfect Vox amp in London. Track locally, send via network for processing, receive the magic back. Pro tip: Print the processed audio to compensate for round-trip latency. Transform any studio into your personal gear vault.
Multi-Studio Super Sessions
Unite multiple studios into one massive creative space. Rhythm section jams at Studio A while your vocalist records at Studio B across town, hearing the band in real-time through their headphones. Mix and match environments - drums in the live room, strings in the concert hall, vocals in the iso booth. Build the ultimate distributed recording complex.
Distributed Live Performance
Perform together from anywhere, stream everywhere. Host weekly rehearsals that fans can tune into, or when your bassist catches a cold, they join from home without missing the gig. Combine with our Audiomovers WebRTC for ticketed virtual concerts. Note: Multi-location streaming requires an experienced engineer for optimal results.
Mobile Creative Input
Join sessions instantly from anywhere. Download SonoBus on your phone and drop into your collaborator's session to provide real-time feedback, hum a melody idea, or approve a final mix. Perfect for A&Rs, producers on the go, or getting quick input from band members. Your studio is now as mobile as your lifestyle.
