Getting Started with Source-Connect Standard 3.9

  • Source-Connect Standard 3.9 User Guide
  • Quick Start Guides
This article is part of the Source-Connect Standard 3.9 User Guide

The following is a quick guide, which does not include working with Auto-Restore or Remote Transport Sync. See the section 5 and 6 in this guide for information on working with these technologies. 

Basic steps in using Source-Connect are as follows: 

  1. Launch the Source-Connect application.
  2. Log in with your username and password. 
  3. Select the audio devices to use for input and output in the Audio Options dropdown menu. Source-Connect Standard 3.9 has its own i/o selection. It will remember the previous selected device so you will not have to select the same device every time. 
  4. Select your sample-rate (restart will be required if you change this setting) and send quality/bitrate. 
  5. Select an online contact in your Contacts list and press ‘Connect’ in the Status (top) panel. This will connect both studios with a real-time streaming-audio session. Instant Messaging will be activated between the connected partners, and if the sample rate and channels are the same (e.g. 48khz mono), RTS (Remote Transport Sync) will also be enabled. During the session, you send compressed audio data to each other over the Internet. Be advised that if either user does not have sufficient bandwidth or has excess packet loss there is a possibility of an audible dropout. To minimize dropouts, see the support documentation online. You can also work with the Q Manager to ensure Auto-Restore provides clean recordings every time. Your connection partner must be using Source-Connect Pro for this. 
  6. Disconnect. This will end your audio session with the remote studio. 
  7. Log out.
