Blue Cat Fader Hub｜The Ultimate Solution for Remote Collaborative Mixing and Recording

Overcome Geographical Limitations, Achieve Zero-Latency Online Band Jamming

Blue Cat's Fader Hub is a network mixing and streaming software designed specifically for musicians. It completely solves the problem of musicians being unable to jam in real-time due to geographical dispersion. Whether you're practicing with partners on your local network or engaging in remote collaboration with musicians worldwide via the internet, Fader Hub provides a stable, high-quality platform. This unique network mixing console allows you to easily connect instruments and join a Low Latency Audio Network (LLAN), realizing the dream of an online band experience. It's not just a mixing tool, but a complete low-latency recording and performance solution, allowing every musician to focus on creation, free from the constraints of technology and distance.

Fader Hub features a powerful built-in local mixing console that integrates multiple audio inputs from your audio interface. Simultaneously, its network mixer can send your mixed output in real-time to other partners' computers on the network, seamlessly blending the received audio streams with your local signals. It is not only fully compatible with Blue Cat's Connector plugin but also supports loading third-party VST, Audio Unit, and VST3 plugins, offering infinite possibilities for sound shaping. From personal monitor mixes to multi-track synchronized recording, Fader Hub provides unprecedented flexibility and convenience for modern music creation workflows.
