Abstract: A portable device and accompanying software provides users with a digital audio workstation with integrated tools take in raw audio data from physical inputs and map the raw data to various virtual outputs. Raw audio data for recording (recording data) is cast in real-time to a remote server. Monitoring data is simultaneously sent to collaborating devices via P2P protocols. The bitrate of the data for P2P transmissions can be adjusted to allow remote multiple users recording simultaneously to hear monitoring data in synchronicity, regardless of the speed of their respective internet connections. Face-to-face collaboration may be facilitated through the streaming of video data as the monitoring data. The low-latency of the P2P monitoring transmissions frees up bandwidth for the real-time streaming of the recording data. Audio recordings are uploaded to a central server, where they may be available to authorized collaborators for editing.
