This will reduce the possibility of CPU throttling and/or automatic USB device sleep from interfering with the smooth flow of audio.

Set the power management options/plan on your system to вЂњHigh PerformanceвЂќ if possible, particulary if using a laptop device.

#OPTIMIZING OBS ON MAC DRIVER#

If you are on Windows, it is HIGHLY recommended that you use the ASIO driver option, either with the ASIO driver that works with your audio interface, or by installing ASIO4ALL for your built-in audio or anything that doesnвЂ™t have an ASIO driver of its own.

Without headphones, other musicians will hear an irritating echo from your speakers feeding back into your microphone (if you are using one). Bluetooth headphones will not work because of the added delay (as much as 250ms) inherent in Bluetooth audio.

Recommended: Wired headphones or earbuds.

SonoBus strongly recommends connection by Ethernet. WiFi works, but is an extra layer of packet sequencing and always adds a lot of jitter, requiring increased buffer sizes.

STRONGLY Recommended: An Ethernet cable, and/or adapters for connecting the computer to your router or cable modem.

#OPTIMIZING OBS ON MAC INSTALL#

Download and install the appropriate version of SonoBus from

An installed copy of the Mac, Windows or iOS SonoBus client (Linux clients can be built from source code, but there are no installable packages for it yet).

SonoBus should also work in Linux on a variety of hardware platforms.

#OPTIMIZING OBS ON MAC WINDOWS 10#

Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 are all reported to be working well with SonoBus.

#OPTIMIZING OBS ON MAC SOFTWARE#

SonoBus software is the first such software available for iOS, so an iPhone or iPad that runs Apple iOS 11 or newer can also be used.

A laptop or desktop computer that runs either the Apple Mac or Windows Operating System.

In OBS, adding this filter to an existing вЂsourceвЂ™, changes that вЂsourceвЂ™ to the local input of an instance of the SonoBus software, to which you can add your friends in remote locations! See Appendix C for more information.Д«inary downloads of the program as well as a link to the GitHub source code repository for all of the platforms can be found at: Setup For example, after installing SonoBus, Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) users will find a new вЂfilterвЂ™ listed: вЂSonoBus VST 2.x Plug-inвЂ™. SonoBus works either as a standalone application and also as an audio DAW plug-in (VST/AAX on Windows, VST/AU/AAX on Mac). It can also be built from source code hosted on GitHub. The initial release of SonoBus provides pre-built executables for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.

The connection server is only used so that the users in a group can find each other based on the session name. All audio is sent directly between users peer-to-peer. While it is very unlikely that it will be intercepted, please keep that in mind. SonoBus does NOT currently use any encryption for the data communication. Players can optimize their jitter buffer settings for lowest possible latency or highest quality.

#OPTIMIZING OBS ON MAC MANUAL#

Additional features include the ability to record the entire session to disk, including multi-track support.ДЇine-grained control of latency on a per-user basis is possible through manual or automatic вЂњjitter bufferвЂќ control, used to minimize drop-outs due to network packet timing jitter. It also has the ability to mix an audio file along with your live playing and send the mixed stream to everyone else in the session. The program includes individual level and mute controls for each player in the session. It also includes optional built-in audio effects (compression, noise gate, equalization) to optimize both the quality and level of the audio you transmit as well as what you receive (master mix reverb). SonoBus gives you complete control of your audio transmit and receive quality on a per-user basis. SonoBus is a free, elegant, multi-platform, open-source peer-to-peer solution that allows multiple users at a distance to share audio together in real-time with the highest possible quality and lowest possible latency over the Internet.
