Source-Connect is a software application for MacOS and Windows developed by Source Elements.[1] It is designed to allow remote audio recording with real-time synchronization through a high-speed internet connection.[2][3] The company is based in Chicago.[4]

History

Source-Connect had its initial launch in 2005.[3] It was designed as an alternative to ISDN.[3] Source-Connect was developed by Source Elements, a software company founded by Rebekah Wilson,[5][6] Robert Marshall,[7] and John Binder.[8]

Source Elements announced Source-Connect 3.0 in 2007.[8]

In February 2013, Source Elements announced support for the Hamachi VPN for the 3.7.2 version of Source-Connect.[9] Later that year, Source Elements also announced the release of Source-Connect Standard and Pro 3.7 for Windows.[10]

In 2014, a BBC story covered how British audio engineer, producer, and musician Alan Parsons used Source-Connect to aid London-based independent rock band Electric Litany with recording their second album.[6]

The following year, Source Elements released Source-Connect 3.8 for MacOS.[11]

In 2016, Source-Connect 3.9 was released.[12]

For the upcoming Source-Connect 4, Source Elements received the 2024 NAB Show Product of the Year Award in the Remote Production category.[1][13]

For the company’s work with Source-Connect, Source Elements was a finalist at the World Changing Ideas Awards in 2021.[14] In 2023, co-founder Rebekah Wilson was also nominated for the Business Leader Award at the Rise Awards.[15][16]

Software

Source-Connect allows real-time transmission of high-quality audio between two locations through a high-speed Internet connection.[3]It utilizes sample-accurate synchronization to keep projects in sync across continents.[17][18] The synchronization feature can be used on any DAW which can run the Re-Wire plugin.[18] Source-Connect RTS (Remote Transport Sync) syncs multiple DAW sessions across the Internet.[18] It also allows surround sound monitoring. There are no call charges for using Source-Connect.[17]

Source-Connect has an Auto-Restore and Replace feature, which automatically transfers locally-stored source recordings, replaces streaming audio recorded during live remote sessions with full-quality source recordings, and corrects errors in files recorded in the DAW.[19]

Source-Connect also has a companion software called Source-Nexus Suite, which allows remote HD video and audio collaboration in real time, giving users the opportunity to supervise voiceover recordings and audio mix sessions.[20][7]

Source-Connect has been used by studios such as Abbey Road Studios,[21] Red Facilities,[17]and Crash Symphony Productions, which used it for ADR on films and television productions such as Turn: Washington’s Spies.[22]
