Audiomovers' LISTENTO remote collaboration tool receives significant enhancements
New LISTENTO Update Transforms Remote Audio Workflows
Audiomovers has unveiled an update to their LISTENTO application, designed to revolutionise professional remote audio workflows. The update introduces several major new features, making LISTENTO a comprehensive remote collaboration platform for high-end audio professionals.
The most significant upgrade is the support for 128-channel and 384 kHz, enabling lossless audio transmission—a substantial improvement from the previous 16-channel limit. This enhancement allows users to stream very high-channel-count sessions in studio-quality audio, ideal for complex multi-track productions and mixing environments.
Another key feature is multi-stream reception, enabling users to receive multiple streams simultaneously. This facilitates handling different audio sources or collaborators more efficiently.
The update also includes video sync support for syncing local video files with audio streams, essential for post-production work where audio must align precisely with picture.
The LISTENTO Pro version introduces Guest Pass functionality, allowing users to invite clients or collaborators for streaming audio back without the need for login or setup. This streamlines remote collaboration.
The new multi-stream receiving functionality allows users to simultaneously ingest up to four LISTENTO streams within a single session.
The integrated Talkback and Listenback features provide interactive communication tools within the app, enabling real-time verbal feedback and direction during remote sessions, enhancing workflow interactivity and reducing the need for separate communication channels.
A built-in Monitor Mixer offers comprehensive control over levels, pan, mute, solo, and metering for both transmitted and received streams.
The ABCD Audio File Player allows for A/B comparisons between four mix or arrangement versions mid-stream, providing flexibility during the production process.
The monthly subscription for LISTENTO Basic is $99.99 USD, and the monthly subscription for LISTENTO Pro is $199.99 USD. The application supports Core Audio, ASIO, and WASAPI audio drivers.
Guest Passes in LISTENTO Pro last up to three hours, and the update is compatible with macOS and Windows. The application has been updated to support 128-channel/384kHz audio, delivering unmatched audio fidelity.
The Thunderdrum composer team, known for their work on Assassin's Creed Shadows and Fortnite, among others, have commented on the improvement the update brings to their workflow.
Subscriptions for LISTENTO Basic and Pro are available on a monthly basis or via discounted annual plans. However, the annual plans for LISTENTO Basic and Pro are not specified in the article.
The update is available as a free download for all current and new LISTENTO Basic and Pro subscribers.
