Source Elements has pretty much turned into a standard these days.
Also, the lack of AAX / ProTools support pretty much limits the sales of this solution I believeā¦
It says ātransfer uncompressed filesā. Weāre using an application called Connection Open and with it you work directly with uncompressed files, plus video, no need to wait for a transfer. John
Wellā¦ used it, had lots of droputs and issuesā¦
But, whatever floats your boat dudeā¦
Protools has been a blast of the past for meā¦
And so is aax

Know that tooā¦ as Session link, or Source Element, it didnāt compensate for the delay of the Internet. So no real synced workflow possible. You need to shift whatever has been recorded after the factā¦
You can have a losless stream inside of VST connect 5 too, but i never need that to be honest. 320 or even 256 is pretty dann good for speech.
Just give it a try ā¦

Iām a big fan of VST Connect, and just got v5 (havenāt had a chance to run it through its paces yet).
I wouldnāt go so far to say that the compressed audio, at any bitrate, is something Iād feel comfortable about turning in as a final product, but it sure is more than adequate for running a remote session.

Iāve been using it a great deal since Covid and its been awesome. My experience with V5 is here VST Connect 5 Update - Users example of the upside - VST Connect - Steinberg Forums
Likewise. It has been the right thing at the right time, for sure. Thanks for posting the topicā¦itās great to see someone using this stuff at āscale.ā My own experience has been much more one-on-one. But equally a lifesaver in these bizarre times.

Am I losing something of am I running VST Connect Pro with my N10 license? I never bought VST Connect Pro license and now Iād like to obtain it but I donāt know if update or full license is required.
The bottom line is that if you didnāt get a VST Connect Pro license you canāt run it, you only have VST Connect SE. Pro doesnāt come with Nuendo, and requires a separate download and license. Once you have that, it works from the VST Cloud window.

You need to buy the PRO version - itās in sale at the moment.
The update is from PRO 4 to PRO 5.
If you never bought a PRO license - you need so now ā¦

Iāve obtained features that only work in Pro version like āStudio Passā, so I donāt know why Pro features are included in my N10 license.
just check you elicenser if you have a pro - if not - you need to get the full version
After checking out Studio Pass in the App Store, Iām guessing that although they say you have to have VST Connect Pro to use it, it must work with the SE version as well. If you donāt have a Pro license, that would be the only thing that would make sense to me.
Pro has all sorts of enhancements over SEā Like basicX, Iām for it. Itās cheap!

Used it extensively yesterday, recording multitrack drums. No issues over approx 5 hours. Thereās a great and not much talked about feature in the files section where you can see all the recorded takes and associated multi track HD files. Prior to pulling them in from the users computer you delete that which youāre not using to save time and bandwidth. Much like the offline files button in the hd section being a life saver if the artists connection is e.g. less than 1meg. You can ask them to zip up the files )folder in āmy documentsā is the same as project title) and get them to send them to you via Dropbox or similar. Donāt get me started on the upside of being able now to resize the interface and certain sections within. 
Cool the see that the thing works great for you! !!
Picked it up, ran some test for video streaming, Exciting stuff, look forward to testing further in a real working situation. I already own Source connect Live, this has its advantages over it, especially being directly in the box. Nice work yet again steinberg
The guy I was cross-country figuring this stuff out with last summer and I were going nuts trying to get things rolling smoothly at first-- and then I found the FAQ on the Steinberg support page which covered a great deal of territory not considered in the manual. Made a big difference (especially in figuring out how to get the mono vs stereo full res wavs transferred over. Among other things.
