PreSonus has announced new Metro, provided as a free update in Universal Control 4.2 for the company’s StudioLive Series III digital mixers, that’s designed to facilitate live remote mixing over the internet as well as foster remote monitoring of both the main mix and the solo bus from a StudioLive mixer in near real-time using local audio devices.
“The past few years have witnessed a transformative shift in the landscape of back-end audio production, with a significant emphasis on remote work,” says Adrian Haselhuber, VP of product at PreSonus. “While offline remote collaboration, mixing, and mastering have become routine for music creators, the realm of real-time live sound production demands a higher level of precision and reliability.
“Our new Metro software update not only offers a dependable, low-latency gateway to live sound production environments but also provides an effortless means to mix and monitor from virtually anywhere in the world. Whether you’re engaged in training, troubleshooting, or crafting a broadcast mix for a live show, Metro offers a swift and seamless solution to accomplish your tasks with utmost efficiency.”
Recommended use cases include broadcast, livestream and podcast production, remote recording, troublshooting, remote mix support for onsite engineers and more.
Once users have created a free MyPreSonus account they can launch the Metro Workspace and invite any other user to connect remotely. After a connection has been established, remote users can control the StudioLive Series III mixers connected to the host’s computer via either USB or network.
