Source ElementsThe Source-Nexus Gateway is a game changer.
The ability to remotely collaborate with clients, voice talent and producers has gone from a luxury to an essential capability and Source-Nexus Suite is a best-in-class solution.

Source ElementsSource-Nexus Suite made for very efficient virtual edit sessions on a feature film & a web series when our team was spread out across the country. The stream played back so smoothly!

Source ElementsWith Mute-On you can basically set up smart communication routing without the need of a hardware controller.
It can dim or mute signals of your choice within the DAW, triggered by the DAW’s play status or individual key or MIDI commands. And that’s where it gets really interesting for me, I’m finally able to trigger talkback, mute or dim via a simple midi controller.
I’m now able to setup a remote ADR session that will automatically mute production sound when recording, mute the remote signal for the artist inside the booth on record (while the same signal in the control room stays unmuted), dim all sounds and open my line of communication to the remote client by pressing a foot switch that sends a MIDI command to the plugin.
I’m super impressed and happy to have finally found the workflow I was looking for.
Partner / Producer, Red Facilities
Source ElementsMute-on is brilliant. We’ve tried a few other plugins over the years that purport to do the same thing but they were nowhere near as elegant (and nice looking) as mute-on.
We have an external Shure Microflex talkback mic which is switchable on and off via a touch switch but now we can leave the mic open and insert Source-Nexus Mute-On across that channel, with the setting ‘mute on record’ enabled. We can now have talkback open in all other scenarios other than when we go into record and it works perfectly. Thank you. It’s fantastic.
