Audiomovers Releases MINIBUS Plugin – A ‘Virtual Aux Cord’ For Local Collaboration


This week, Audiomovers released their MINIBUS plugin, a “virtual aux cord” designed to unlock easier collaboration. MINIBUS enables the user to transmit and receive lossless multichannel audio to and from the DAW in real time, to any machines on the same network, with no additional hardware or software required.

MINIBUS makes it easier for studio visitors to get their DAW audio into a session, regardless of their setup. There is no need for aux cords or interfaces; anyone can begin collaborating with just computers on the same network. MINIBUS accomplishes this by bridging the widely adopted NDI connectivity standard, which enables multimedia systems to communicate with one another, wired or wirelessly over local networks.

Cofounder and Head of Product Igor Maxymenko commented, “We are committed to working to remove the unnecessary barriers to audio workflows and collaboration, speeding up processes so audio professionals can concentrate on being creative and making great work.

“With the integration of the supporting NDI transmission plugin MINIBUS into OMNIBUS 3, we’re doing exactly that – further empowering audio professionals to achieve seamless audio routing over networks, including wirelessly, on sessions and in studios.”

MINIBUS is available as MINIBUS Lite, which is free (a stereo transmitter plugin), and MINIBUS, which retails for $49.99 (containing a 16-channel transmitter plugin and a 16-channel receiver plugin).
