About SonoBus
SonoBus is an application for streaming high-quality, low-latency peer-to-peer
audio between devices over the internet or a local network.
Features:
Connects multiple users together to send and receive audio among all in a group,
with fine-grained control over latency, quality and overall mix. Includes optional
input compression, noise gate, and EQ effects, along with a master reverb.
All settings are dynamic, network statistics are clearly visible.
Works as a standalone application on macOS, Windows, iOS, and GNU/Linux, and as
an audio plugin (AU, VST, and AAX) on macOS and Windows. Use it on your desktop
or in your DAW, or on your mobile device.
Easy to setup and use, yet still provides all the details that audio nerds want to see.
Audio quality can be instantly adjusted from full uncompressed PCM (16, 24, or 32 bit)
or with various compressed bitrates (16-256 kbps per channel) using
the low-latency Opus codec.
