Real-time remote audio work IS possible - with surprising quality and flexibility ! In this show I’ll describe techniques and strategies to help you mix, master, teach and even record remotely - and even suggest some ways to jam live. Kind of. Amongst other things I’ll describe how to:
- Stream lossless, low-latency audio to any DAW or browser, for up to 40 people
- Combine this audio stream with multi-user video chat
- Screenshare in sync for easier collaboration during mixing, mastering and even recording
- Take control of someone else’s screen for teaching or training purposes
- Use other people’s analogue gear in your project
- “Jam” virtually online - on an iPhone !
Thanks to Ian Stewart and Lij Shaw for help with ideas and testing for this episode.

Somewhat off the topic of this episode but I have a question - is there any loudness convention/standard for podcasts? From what I've noticed there doesn't seem to be.
Thanks for the show, I'm a long time listener. It's been really useful to me.
