M8Studio: peer-to-peer remote recording, free forever
2026-09-23
M8Studio is live. The first public build ships everything needed for a real remote session:
- One plugin on the cue bus — M8Studio sends your monitor mix to the artist and writes their uncompressed PCM onto the same bus, PDC-aligned to the record start time.
- M8Artist — standalone app or browser tab: input gain with AUTO GAIN (Audient-style scan), monitor mix with monitor-only reverb, limiters, chat, reminders.
- Auto talkback — stream detection closes talkback while audio flows and reopens on silence. PTT still wins.
- Security — TLS-only database, rate-limited auth, privacy modes down to invisible.
macOS first; Windows builds follow. Download it, point it at a friend, record.
