Aux App has launched Version 1 of its long-awaited desktop app to streamline and improve online collaboration for professional audio producers.
It lets remote-working musicians, podcasters and music industry professionals collaborate unlike any existing tool, and here’s how.
Two Ableton Live or Logic Pro X users can work on the same project, utilise file syncing across all devices and bring real-time chat directly into the DAW. With intelligent version history of all file uploads, timestamped commenting on waveforms, and an in-built DAW stems player; producers’ audio workflow and the collaborative process are simplified and streamlined like never before.
It comes from the UK tech start-up entrepreneur, Ben Bowler, following extensive research into what remote creators really need to make their audio workflow clearer. Bowler explains,
The Aux V1 release is the culmination of conversations with numerous artists, producers and podcast creators to bring audio production right up to date. We discussed the pain of keeping track of versions of songs across a stack of hard drives, emails, messages and file sending services.
The new Aux desktop app takes care of each step of production; from tracking versions of your personal projects automatically and letting you go back in time to previous takes, to sharing projects with collaborators whether they use the same DAW as you or not. The result is like upgrading from a cup with a string coming out of it, to a smartphone, helping musicians make more music and opening up new collaboration opportunities.
Aux for desktop, available for Mac with the Windows version coming early 2023, can now be downloaded from www.aux.app.
