In today’s fast-paced world, recording audio remotely is often preferable to doing so in-person. However, while most people rely on a DAW to record, edit and process audio on their computers, this doesn’t allow them to collaboratively stream and receive high quality audio in real-time.
LISTENTO creates a remote streaming and recording experience that reflects many of the benefits of the in-person studio experience. Turning your DAW into an online recording studio and allowing you to stream lossless audio with as low as 0.1 latency is now a reality.

Benefits of using your DAW as a remote recording studio
There are many advantages to using your DAW as an online recording studio, including:
- Collaborate no matter where your collaborators are – As long as they have a stable internet connection, with LISTENTO you’re able to stream HQ audio and easily collaborate with others, regardless of where they are.
- Record multiple people in multiple places – By relying on Audiomovers’ remote audio recording tools, it is possible to record remotely and collaborate with multiple people simultaneously by using multiple instances of the receiver plugin.
- Enjoy greater scheduling flexibility – LISTENTO facilitates high quality remote recording experiences and breaks away from the need for in-person studio sessions. Allowing for greater scheduling flexibility and enhanced freedom when choosing collaborators.
- Save costs – While you’ll need to invest in equipment and software, you’ll ultimately save money on studio hire costs by utilising LISTENTO and using your DAW as a remote recording studio instead.
