NAMM 2023: Realtime Audio - Real Time Collaboration

Real-time collaboration in music production has been a challenge for decades, but a new product unveiled at NAMM 2023 may change that. Taylor Robinson introduced us to The Real-time Portal, developed by Real-time Audio Solutions, which allows musicians to play together with ultra-low latency regardless of their location. The hardware is plug-and-play, allowing users to simply plug their class-compliant USB interface into the Real-time Portal and connect to their router. The app recognizes the hardware and enables users to play within a couple of minutes. The app works on phones, iPads, and browsers.

The Real-time Portal uses cutting-edge technology to compress large audio files and send them quickly over the internet through a UDP connection. The system also uses AI-powered routing to find the fastest routes between users based on ping time. The Real-time Portal does not have a delay compensation feature, but latency is kept low enough to jam, especially for distances up to a thousand miles.

$299 Real-time Portal Price: $299 which includes a one-year subscription to the app.

After that, the app subscription costs $10 per month.
