Problem
Music creators often need to collaborate in real time across different locations, but existing tools require multiple plugins, complex audio routing, or low‑quality video and audio streams, making remote sessions inefficient and technically cumbersome.
Solution
Submix provides a browser‑based platform that combines high‑definition video, dedicated voice channels, and specialized high‑resolution audio streams directly from a DAW. Users can transmit stereo or mono audio, as well as MIDI data, without installing additional plugins, preserving their existing workflow. A virtual patchbay lets participants route audio and MIDI between software and hardware devices both online and offline. Secure browser links enable anyone to join a session—account‑free and optimized for mobile—while built‑in drawing tools (Submix Sketch™) support visual collaboration during screen sharing. All features run in the cloud, delivering low‑latency, high‑quality media to musicians, producers, writers, and engineers worldwide.
