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.

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.

Video streaming to anywhere in the world
With VST Connect Pro 5 you can now stream video from the video track in Cubase or Nuendo to VST Connect Performer, allowing the artist using VST Connect Performer in a different location to play in time with it.

Local video playback for VST Connect Performer

The synchronized playback is still controlled by the engineer using VST Connect Pro, but greater bandwidth is available for audio.
