It offers an easy - to - use solution for musicians to play and record with others in real - time, either on a local network or via the Internet. Join the Low Latency Audio Network (LLAN) party! Connect your instrument and jam with fellow musicians using this unique console. Fader Hub has a local mixing console to blend multiple audio inputs from an audio interface. Its network mixer can send the local mix to other computers and combine it with received audio streams. It's fully compatible with the Connector plug - in. It comes with several built - in audio effects and can load third - party VST, Audio Unit, and VST3 plug - ins. You can record the full mix or individual streams to disk, simplifying multi - instrument recording over an IP network. With its low - latency peer - to - peer connection, each band member with a laptop can manage their personal headphone mix while keeping latency low. Key features include network mixing for playing with others, multitrack recording, built - in effect plug - ins, support for third - party plug - ins, multiple sampling rates, drift compensation, full compatibility with Blue Cat's Connector, the ability to connect up to 8 musicians (more with the plug - in), 8 local stereo audio inputs, and optional audio compression to save bandwidth.
Using Blue Cat Audio Fader Hub is quite straightforward. First, make sure your computer meets the basic requirements for running the software. To start playing with other musicians, connect your instrument to an audio interface and then open the Fader Hub. Join a Low Latency Audio Network (LLAN) party either on a local network or over the Internet. Adjust the local mixing console to blend your audio inputs the way you like. You can also send your local mix to other computers and receive their audio streams for a combined performance. When it comes to recording, you can choose to record the full mix or individual tracks on your machine. For adding effects, use the built - in effect plug - ins or load third - party ones. Just click on the relevant options and adjust the settings as needed. Remember to check for software updates regularly to ensure optimal performance. If you're using multiple sampling rates, the built - in resampling feature will handle it, but keep an eye on the latency. Also, when connecting multiple musicians, make sure your network can handle the traffic. For maintenance, keep your computer's operating system and anti - virus software up - to - date. This will help prevent any potential issues with the Fader Hub and keep your music - making experience smooth.
