![]() ![]() The standard version of Source Connect is great for voice over artists as it allows high quality audio to be sent and received at sample rates of 44.1kHz or 48kHz and bit rates of up to 192 kbps in stereo. Designed as an ISDN replacement, it comes in 3 versions Standard, Pro and Pro X. Over 50,000 studios and individuals now use it. ![]() If there’s one piece of software which is dominant for remote recording, it’s Source Connect from Source Elements. Let’s take a look at 5 key tools from Source Elements that make remote recording possible in 2022. At this point you have no doubt (possibly today) heard audio that has passed through their software. They have through the years created a well throughout tech system for various modes of remote collaboration over the internet. Technology has moved on of course, Source Elements has been innovating new remote collaboration solutions since the days of ISDN when a T1 line was considered crazy fast internet access. Lots of people worked like this and up until just a few years ago, ISDN was the main way to conduct sessions remotely. ![]() Voice over artists with a home setup could now join sessions without having to leave the house, meaning that they could get more done in a day. With an ISDN line and a suitable hardware codec, you could connect remotely to any similarly equipped studio around the world. This was great for voice over recording and became very widespread in this field. Also, it was cost prohibitive for smaller budget projects thanks to the exorbitant prices of satellite time.Įventually we got ISDN, a system which used traditional telephone lines to send audio digitally at data rates of up to 128kbit/s. This was not too bad for voice overs but impractical for most other purposes. It never seemed like a major problem at the time but it meant that people sometimes had no option but to travel internationally to attend sessions.Įventually satellite connections became possible and, if you had the budget, you could rent satellite time in order to conduct remote recording, albeit with a massive amount of delay of several seconds from the audio being sent to being received. It was a similar story in audio-post where ADR and voice over would generally need to be done in a central location and the talent had to travel to the studio to attend the session. To collaborate on a music project, you’d either have to get together in one place to make the recording, or tapes would need to be transported between studios to lay down parts from different musicians. Not so long ago, collaborating on an audio project meant that someone would have to travel. ![]()
