Ableton Live is adding audio streaming for real-time musical collaboration
"Ableton is rolling out the Live 12.4 Beta with a number of new features, but the headliner is Link Audio, which enables real-time collaboration between devices on a local network. Having to be on the same network is a serious limitation and, as the name implies, Link Audio only supports streaming audio. That means your buddy can't tweak MIDI or take over automation in your Live session from another device."
"Link Audio builds on the existing Ableton Link, which allows you to sync BPM over a local network. Link has wide support from hardware and software developers, including Akai's MPC line and competitors like Logic Pro. Link Audio has much more limited support at the moment, only working with Ableton Live and Ableton's Note app, along with the company's Push and Move devices. We've reached out to Ableton to ask about third-party Link Audio support and will update if we hear back."
Link Audio in Ableton Live 12.4 Beta enables real-time streaming audio collaboration between devices on the same local network. Requiring the same network constrains remote collaboration and prevents MIDI editing or automation control from other devices. Link Audio builds on Ableton Link's BPM synchronization while adding audio streaming capabilities. Support is limited to Ableton Live, the Note mobile app, and Ableton's Push and Move hardware. Live and Push can both send and receive audio streams, whereas Move and Note only support limited functions. Cross-device collaboration with Link Audio streamlines workflows compared with exporting and exchanging project files. Third-party support remains limited but may grow.
