With the digital musician messenger plug-in and compatible music software (Steinberg Nuendo/Cubase, Ableton Live, Digidesign Pro Tools or Apple Logic for example) you can hook up to a partner via an Internet broadband (ADSL) connection.

You can use the Internet connection to hear the musical performance in real-time. MIDI and audio data can be sent later using the Send File utility. The difference between the digital musician messenger and digital musician link, the “bigger” version of the plug-in that only works as a VST and RTAS plug-in, is that the digital musician messenger also works with the AU (Logic) plug-in interface. Apart from that, the configuration is easier as you only have to loop the plug-in into the master channel of your software sequencer - then you can start right away.

The Mac OS and Windows plug-in allows two compatible sequencers to directly connect with each other. Even if your partner is on the other side of the world, it still feels as if you were in a “normal” studio together. For verbal communication, the digital musician messenger has a Talkback utility that can be enhanced to include visuals with a webcam. As part of a worldwide community of musicians and studios, you will find partners for your projects and the right professional for your tracks on digitalmusician.net.

Use the digital musician messenger plug-in on the master channel of your sequencer and login to digitalmusician.net. Then you can connect to a partner to send them a playback or coach them whilst a part of a song is being recorded for example. Your partner transfers the finished audio data using the “Send File” utility.
