What you can do with VST Connect

Music with no boundaries

VST Connect Pro lets you expand your studio from its physical location to cover the whole world. It allows any musician with a computer, an internet link and the free VST Connect Performer app to be recorded direct on your studio DAW, even if they are on a different continent, because VST Connect Pro makes distance irrelevant. Not only that, but you can see and talk to each other, while the producer has full control over the recording session at both ends of the connection, including cue mix and talkback level.

Multitrack Recording For Musicians

No matter where the performer is, record remotely in real time and the uncompressed audio files are loaded automatically in the background. You never need to worry about the internet connection — all VST Connect Performer HD recordings are saved on the musician’s local hard drive and can be reloaded into VST Connect Pro at any time. And you don’t have to be worried about security, as the unique data encryption system makes sure that your work will always stay yours.

MIDI around the world

VST Connect Pro allows you to record MIDI and audio data live from a VST instrument loaded into VST Connect Performer, anywhere in the world. The artist can even connect a MIDI controller, leaving the session admin to record the incoming MIDI data directly in Cubase, together with the audio stream from the VST instrument.

Automated Dialog Replacement (ADR)

VST Connect Pro 5.5 is your remote ADR centrepiece for recording voice talent and Foley, easily and cost-effectively, from virtually anywhere in the world. An ideal complement to Nuendo’s integrated, location-based ADR system, VST Connect Pro 5.5 incorporates an ADR toolset that fulfils the highest demands of the voice actor, including lip-syncing video playback, swipes and counter functions, prompting features and more. To makes things straightforward, the voice talent doesn’t even have to be running a DAW. The small VST Performer application is everything they need.

Setting up VST Connect Performer

Install and start the VST Connect Performer application. Do not start your DAW or other audio applications. Type a name in the Your Name field, and the Key number you receive from the remote engineer or producer in the Key field, click the Connect button and... that's it! Alternatively, you can log in with your MySteinberg account and directly find your collaborators within VST Connect

Flawless integration with quick-start recording

VST Connect Pro delivers the dream of a fully-featured remote recording solution, including flawless integration within Cubase Pro and Nuendo. Instantly initialize a remote recording session with everything handled automatically, including routing assignments, setting up the plug-in and much more. VST Connect Pro also utilizes the entire Control Room functionality of the host application, giving you full access to talkback channels and other features that make remote recording with it so intuitive.

Studio Pass

You can involve your client directly via the free Studio Pass app for iOS - the ideal complement for VST Connect Pro - wherever they are. They can dial in with an iOS device and you can send a live mix to them for their feedback. Studio Pass supports video for face-to-face communication and talkback capability, so the client can share their thoughts, request changes or give the final go-ahead for the mix - all with the convenience of coming from a portable iOS device.

Before you start

VST Connect requires a solid internet connection at both ends; a minimum of 256 Kbit/s upstream is required as well as a reasonable local connection. For instance, tethering via smartphone across two WiFi (WLAN) hotspots in between is unlikely to work, a solid Ethernet connection direct to your router or modem is highly recommended at both ends. For optimum performance, please close all other applications that connect to the internet.

Slide 1 of 3
VST Connect offers you a fundamental kind of improvement that goes beyond the studio realm. Simply put, I have much more time for my kids now. For something as abstract as a feature in a DAW to have that kind of effect on one’s private life is quite an astonishing achievement. I can’t think of anything comparable.
