Blue Connector Allows Routing between apps or DAWs or networked computers
 

Blue Cat Audio has released their new Connector plugin

And only $39 US. Not bad.

I tried it today. Couldn’t get it to connect. Also, I wish it had a standalone app it could connect to and not just a plugin.

I imagine there will be some bugs but it looks promising.

39 bucks, I picked it up.

Thanks for mentioning our new plug-in!

Connection should be pretty straightforward... Have you made sure that audio is going thru the plug-in on both sides?

The goal of the plug-in is to help making connections (either within an app or between apps), that's why it is not available as an application. If you are looking for an app to host plug-ins and send/receive audio & MIDI to/from it, we already have PatchWork for this purpose.

Thanks. Yes, audio is going into the plug in Pro Tools. Meters are bouncing. Trying to connect PT to GarageBand hosting an AU plug. Same machine Local Send to Local Receive. Port 8080 and several other ports. No connection.
Mac M1 11.4.

That's strange. Does the sender see the receiver at all, or both are in [CONNECTING] or [NOT CONNECTED] state?

Interesting. $39 is reasonable if it does what it says.

Will be interesting to compare this to Loopback built in to my audio interface (Windows), Loopback (the app), Blackhole, GroundControl Room and GroundControl Caster for Mac.

The ability to connect multiple application on DIFFERENT COMPUTERS sounds really cool.

I'll be testing it out for sure to see if I can integrate it into OBS for live streams.

It definitely works with OBS, it's great to be able to pick up the signal from anywhere in Pro Tools for live streams or video recording!

Re: Blue Connector Allows Routing between apps or DAWs or networked computers
 

That will be epic!

How does the MIDI routing work on it. Its not shown in the video. Can you give an example of how that might be set up? I just want to understand how that might be used. Thanks.
