High Quality Network Audio Streaming

SonoBus is an easy to use application for streaming high-quality, low-latency peer-to-peer audio between devices over the internet or a local network.

Multi-user, multi-platform, open-source, completely free.

Simply choose a unique group name (with optional password), and instantly connect multiple people together to make music, remote sessions, podcasts, etc. Easily record the audio from everyone, as well as playback any audio content to the whole group.

In the vast lexicon of guitar tones, few phrases spark as much curiosity and technical debate as the . While the term might sound like cryptic studio shorthand or a forgotten effects pedal from the 1990s, it represents a specific, highly sought-after sonic signature. For session players, tone purists, and bedroom producers alike, understanding the "DWP" (often interpreted as Dynamic Waveform Processing or a reference to specific gain staging) is the secret to moving from a generic "crunch" to a articulate, responsive, and powerful overdriven sound.

Pro tip: In your DAW, place a low-cut filter (100hz) before the amp sim. This stops the virtual power amp from flubbing out, mimicking the tight Dwp response.

Overdrive is the sound of an instrument refusing to be clean. It’s rock and roll’s original sin—and its most enduring prayer. Turn it up until the notes bleed. Then back off just a hair. That’s the spot.

Capturing this sound in a DAW requires specific mic techniques.

BEST PRACTICES

SonoBus does not use any echo cancellation, or automatic noise reduction in order to maintain the highest audio quality. As a result, if you have a live microphone signal you will need to also use headphones to prevent echos and/or feedback.

For best results, and to achieve the lowest latencies, connect your computer with wired ethernet to your router. Although it will work with WiFi, the added network jitter and packet loss will require you to use a bigger jitter buffer to maintain a quality audio signal, which results in higher latencies.

SonoBus does NOT currently use any encryption for the data communication, so while it is very unlikely that it will be intercepted, please keep that in mind. All audio is sent directly between users peer-to-peer, the connection server is only used so that the users in a group can find each other.
