Audiomovers has released its Minibus plug-in, a ‘virtual aux cord’ designed to enable anyone to transmit and receive lossless multichannel audio to and from the DAW in real time, to any machines on the same network, with no additional hardware or software required.

Minibus assists studio visitors in getting a DAW audio into a session, regardless of their set-up. There’s no need for aux cords or interfaces; anyone can begin collaborating with computers on the same network. Minibus does this by bridging the widely adopted NDI connectivity standard, which enables multimedia systems to communicate with one another, wired or wirelessly over local networks.

‘We are committed to working to remove the unnecessary barriers to audio workflows and collaboration, speeding up processes so audio professionals can concentrate on being creative and making great work,’ says Audiomovers co-founder and Head of Product, Igor Maxymenko. ‘With the integration of the supporting NDI transmission plug-in Minibus into Omnibus 3, we’re doing exactly that – further empowering audio professionals to achieve seamless audio routing over networks, including wirelessly, on sessions and in studios.’

Minibus is available as Minibus Lite, which is free (a stereo transmitter plug-in) and Minibus, which retails for US$49.99 (containing a 16-channel transmitter plug-in and a 16-channel receiver plug-in).
