New remote recording capabilities for the audio industry

CHICAGO, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Source Elements announced today the release of Source-Connect 4, marking the arrival of an important update to the remote recording platform.

Source-Connect is professional remote audio recording and collaboration software for the broadcasting, music, and voiceover industries. It provides high-quality, low-latency audio streaming between studios, voice artists, and producers over the internet. Source-Connect 4 delivers a comprehensive feature set that covers every modern workflow when working with remote audio and video timelines, now with up to 6 participants, LTC/MTC support and automated source audio retrieval to ensure perfect recordings regardless of network conditions. With the AAC ELDv2 codec from Fraunhofer and reinforced with a private, secure, globally distributed cloud architecture, Source-Connect 4 ensures excellent streaming connectivity even in the most remote locations and supports enterprise IT requirements.

Source-Connect 4 represents a massive forward-jump into meeting the new demands of hybrid remote collaboration in the global media industry. Source-Connect 4 is redesigned and reengineered using foundational knowledge obtained from providing 20 years of service to the industry. In order to meet the new needs of today’s media creators in the emerging remote/hybrid climate—and their talent and their clients—Source-Connect 4 has been transformed into a true remote-collaboration platform. Multi-channel, multi-participant, multi-timeline, multi-platform and supported by modern secure network services, all aspects of the remote working experience is supported in the creation journey of real-time media.

“Source-Connect 4 is a major update, especially regarding ease of use, reliability and security, that will enhance our global collaboration capabilities”, says James Shannon, head of audio technology at Splice Post. “Source-Connect 4’s automated Restore and Replace features ensure that any network issues won’t compromise our recordings, guaranteeing high quality audio and peace of mind during critical sessions. I expect it to have an important impact on collaborative workflows in the media industry.”

With 24-channel, multi-endpoint streaming, Source-Connect 4 connects immersive production environments, as well as supporting any channel-based layout and unlocks a world of potential for mixers, directors, and stakeholders to attend next generation audio playback and mixing sessions from their preferred location or setup. The platform’s strength lies in its seamless integration with DAWs and NLEs, allowing professionals to work in their familiar environments. This is complemented by standout features like timeline synchronization, guaranteed recording, and ensemble capture for up to six participants, with expanded capacity planned for future releases. Source-Connect 4 is comprehensive enough to meet all collaborator’s needs, providing a simple interface for each role in the workflow at an affordable price point.

George Whittam, owner of GeorgeThe.Tech and celebrated supporter and advocate for voice actors, shares that “the long-awaited redesign of Source-Connect is very welcome by the voiceover community! Source-Connect 4 is a pleasure to use, with an easy-to-understand user interface. I love the clean interface for the talent, and the power user features for the studio. Studio engineers will totally love the built-in mix minus system that routes audio where it needs to go without very complex busing. For the talent, no need for an iLok or port mapping, and Windows users in parity with macOS at last, this is a tour de force of Tech and a big win for all of us in Voiceover production!”

Source-Connect 4 has been further recognized and awarded as a Remote Production winner in the 2024 NAB Show Product of the Year Awards. The prestigious awards program recognizes groundbreaking products and technologies presented by exhibitors and honors the most significant and promising innovations showcased at the show, highlighting the cutting-edge advancements shaping the future of the industry.
