Blue Cat Audio Fader Hub – Peer-To-Peer Network Mixing / Streaming Console Blue Cat Audio

Blue Cat’s Fader Hub is a network mixing and streaming software that provides an easy solution to play and record with other musicians on a local network or thru the Internet in real time. Connect your instrument and play with other musicians over the Low Latency Audio Network (LLAN) thanks to this unique network mixing and streaming console.

Fader Hub features a local mixing console to mix several audio inputs from an audio interface, and a network mixer that can send the local mixdown to other computers over the network, and mix it locally with the audio streams received from them. It is fully compatible and interoperable with the Connector plug-in. It includes several built-in audio effects and can also load third party VST, Audio Unit and VST3 plug-ins. Fader Hub can also record the full mix and individual streams to disk, making it easy to record multiple instruments over an IP network.

Thanks to Fader Hub’s low latency peer-to-peer connection, every musician with a laptop in a band can easily manage his/her personal headphone mix, while keeping the lowest possible latency for his/her own instrument.
