Retrieve audio from musician via Internet

1

Hi,
Curious if anyone has connected with musicians over the internet for live streaming? I want to be able to have a musician send me there video / audio steam remotely so I can pull into VDMX. Also, MIDI remotely would be great to have as well. Any ideas?

  • Syphon / Spout - seems to be an option only over local network only
  • NDI Cloud?
  • VLC / OBS connection?
  • Gstreamer?

Any ideas solutions would love to understand this.

for audio i’m use https://cleanfeed.net/
very satisfied, almost without delays. in the free version, you can only use two channels. in the paid version, you can use many virtual devices (as it is written on the site). For example, one channel drums, the second channel synths, the third channel guitar, etc.

I also use cleanfeed to remotely edit the video from macos(remote) to macos(local).

I’m working on a live show with students using AudioMovers Listento plugin. They put the Plugin in their DAW, I get a URL with an audio player and predictable latency. Since the audio player plays through system sound, I use that as an input for Audio Analysis.

It would be awesome to use a VST as input, since Listendo has a receiver plugin as well.

OBS.Ninja is pretty useful. I use that for getting remote DJs video feed into VDMX/OBS. It uses WebRTC with pretty low latency.

I was having some issues with audio dropouts so we move the audio to Mixlr for the broadcast as the DJ video did not “need“ to be in time with the music (it was just being used as an effects layer).

@admrobrts did you get this receiving directly in VDMX? it didn’t work for me by default as a browser source though seems like with some hacking it’d be fine

Yeah, add the View URL to your Browser Source in VDMX. It takes a moment to establish the connection but once connected you should see the video feed.

All the advanced settings are here:

You can also use OBS.Electorn if you want to use the window capture option but the Electron app is always on top. So you’ll need a big screen or 2nd screen.
