Blue Cat Fader Hub

Blue Cat’s Fader Hub is a powerful network mixing and streaming software that allows musicians to collaborate and record in real-time over a local network or the Internet. Built on the Low Latency Audio Network (LLAN) technology, Fader Hub enables seamless audio transmission between multiple musicians, offering a peer-to-peer solution for low-latency network mixing.

The software includes both a local mixing console for managing multiple audio inputs and a network mixer that allows musicians to send their local mixes to others, while simultaneously receiving and mixing audio streams from their peers. Each musician can control their own headphone mix, ensuring a personalized, real-time audio experience with minimal latency.

Fader Hub is fully compatible with Blue Cat’s Connector plug-in and supports third-party VST, VST3, and Audio Unit plug-ins for extended functionality. It also features built-in audio effects (EQ, compression, reverb, etc.) and can record the full mix or individual audio streams directly to disk, making it an ideal tool for live band performances, remote collaborations, and networked studio sessions.

Key Features:

• Network Mixing Console: Connect with other musicians over a local network or the Internet using low-latency peer-to-peer audio streaming. Each musician can manage their own personal mix.
• Multitrack Recording: Record the entire mix or individual tracks to disk for seamless multi-instrument recording sessions over an IP network.
• Built-in Effects: Fader Hub includes a range of built-in effects (EQ, compression, reverb, delays, and more), with full support for third-party VST, VST3, and Audio Unit plug-ins.
• Low-Latency Audio Streaming: Achieve minimal latency, making it suitable for real-time performances and jam sessions, with built-in drift compensation for stable connections.
• Drift Compensation & Resampling: Ensures smooth audio transmission even with different sample rates or unsynchronized clocks.
• Compatible with Blue Cat’s Connector: Seamlessly integrates with Blue Cat’s Connector plug-in for extended audio streaming options.
• Compression for Bandwidth Optimization: Optional audio compression (powered by WavPack) reduces bandwidth usage without sacrificing sound quality.
• Multiple Inputs & Connections: Supports up to 8 local stereo audio inputs and can connect up to 8 musicians simultaneously, with the option to extend further using the Connector plug-in.
