Drewcipher:
Thanks for the explanation of how it works. I was curious about that.
To clarify, I’m not looking to have 2 people record at the same time, nor to rehearse/jam (although I have found a program that claims to do that with minimal latency). I just want to have multiple people “in the room” during one person’s tracking, as well as for listen back and discussion. So being perfectly in synch isn’t necessary.
I actually did find a program that streams high quality audio to multiple people through a plugin inserted on the master bus, and it works quite well. There is about a 1-2 second delay, but that’s fine for listening back. The only real drawback is that we weren’t all able to view the session on our screens (we’re working off a VST Transit session). If Cubase could integrate something like this, it would eliminate the need for a separate Zoom meeting, allow us to all individually view the arrange page, and automatically mute our talkback mics when playback is happening.
VST connect won’t allow multiple “listening” clients at this point …maybe at some time in the future. Also no ‘screen sharing’ - although something like this has been promised
I’m still not sure how screen sharing will work with multiple or odd sized monitors, but let’s wait and see.
