Audiomovers MINIBUS “Virtual Aux Cord” Plugin
Audiomovers has today released the new MINIBUS plugin, a “virtual aux cord” designed to unlock even easier collaboration. MINIBUS enables anyone to transmit and receive lossless multichannel audio to and from the DAW in real time, to any machines on the same network, with no additional hardware or software required. MINIBUS makes it easier than ever for studio visitors to get their DAW audio into a session, regardless of their setup. There’s no need for aux cords or interfaces; anyone can begin collaborating with just computers on the same network. MINIBUS does this by bridging the widely adopted NDI connectivity standard, which enables multimedia systems to communicate with one another, wired or wirelessly over local networks.
Cofounder and Head of Product Igor Maxymenko commented, “We are committed to working to remove the unnecessary barriers to audio workflows and collaboration, speeding up processes so audio professionals can concentrate on being creative and making great work. “With the integration of the supporting NDI transmission plugin MINIBUS into OMNIBUS 3, we’re doing exactly that – further empowering audio professionals to achieve seamless audio routing over networks, including wirelessly, on sessions and in studios.”
MINIBUS is available as MINIBUS Lite, which is free (a stereo transmitter plugin), and MINIBUS, which retails for $49.99 (containing a 16-channel transmitter plugin and a 16-channel receiver plugin).
