Problem
Audio collaboration typically requires musicians and producers to be physically present in the same studio, or forces them to juggle multiple disconnected tools for file sharing, screen sharing, and audio streaming. Remote sessions suffer from latency, poor audio quality, and workflow friction that interrupts creative momentum.
Solution
Muse provides a central hub that replicates the in-studio experience online, letting artists use any DAW to record, produce, mix, and master together. Users can share and record any device connected to their computer—microphones, instruments, or MIDI devices—with individual mute, solo, and volume controls for each audio stream. The app also streams high-quality audio from any computer source, including desktop files, websites, or DAWs, so collaborators hear exactly what is being played. Through VST3, AU, and AAX plugins, DAW audio can be shared or recorded directly into the session, while built-in screen control allows a remote collaborator to take over the session when needed.
Target Audience
Primary users are musicians, producers, and audio engineers who need to collaborate remotely on recording, mixing, and mastering projects while staying in their preferred DAW workflow.
