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.

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.

A Showcase of Remote Recording & Remote Collaboration innovations

At the heart of our success was the unveiling of the latest features in our upcoming Source-Connect 4, the latest evolution of our flagship remote-recording platform. These new features, including never-before-seen workflows for Remote ADR and Music Overdub, are not yet publicly available so here’s to the lucky ones who came to meet us and see them in person before the official launch.

In addition to Source-Connect 4, we showcased Source-Nexus Suite and the growing sophistication of the remote review and approval platform with exceptional video and audio quality at an equally exceptional price. Feedback from conference attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing excitement about the improvements and potential applications in their own workflows.

Skill Building Workshop & Expert Panel

Our commitment to knowledge & thought leadership is evident as we participated in an expert panel and hosted a workshop throughout the show. 

Robert Marshall and Vincent DePierro delivered a full-house workshop about Remote ADR & Music Overdub remote workflows which was highly insightful for attendees. Also Rebekah Wilson, as our CEO, shared her experiences and expertise with other panel members on how to start and build an audio technology company.

Community building activities

As community building is at our core philosophy, Source Elements fostered meaningful networking and gatherings at AES NY Show through two engaging events: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (D.E.I.) party together with “Moving the Needle” and a studio demo at Voxpod. The D.E.I. party encouraged connection and dialogue, celebrating diversity in the audio industry, while the studio demo offered hands-on experience with our cutting-edge remote recording and remote collaboration technology.. We’ll also shortly be announcing a special new collaboration with AES and Rebekah.

Thanks to everyone who spent their time with us, we are full of gratitude for your continued support and engagement.

The Source-Nexus Mute-On plugin also features system-wide recognition, so you don’t need to have the plugin window open or your DAW as the front-most application on your screen when using the key commands. Windows and macOs compatible, Apple Silicon supported.

Automate your signal flow

Source-Nexus Mute-On builds on the features in Source-Talkback to offer mute and dim options when your playback is idle, when music is playing, or when you are recording. On top of that, you can also take the normal plugin input audio as well as the sidechain/key input audio, and mix them both together into the plugin’s output. This opens up many new possibilities for talkback and monitoring that would require multiple tracks previously.

In addition, Source-Nexus Mute-On is natively compatible with Apple Silicon – this allows you to fully leverage the enhanced performance, efficiency, and features on Apple’s ARM-based processors without having to rely on other layers such as Rosetta.

Watch our webinar where we dive deep into different workflows and scenarios with Source-Nexus Mute-On and Source-Nexus Suite:

Ways to use Source-Nexus Mute-On

The Source-Nexus Mute-On plugin is meant to be highly adaptable to your workflows. It can be customized in many different ways to work exactly how you want it to. Here are just a few ways you can utilize the Source-Nexus Mute-On plugin in your workflow.

Talkback Switch

Use the Source-Nexus Mute-On plugin as a talkback switch controlled by a customized keyboard shortcut or MIDI control to open and close your talkback mic without the use of a traditional talkback switch. 

You can also dim your master output using another instance on your master fader at the same time. You can even set it to automatically mute your talkback during playback and record, or use it to automatically mute clients or talent during playback or record. Each instance of Source-Nexus Mute-On can use unique keyboard and MIDI assignments, so every talkback mic in your studio can have a unique control for it. It can also be used as a listenback switch for talent recording in a live room. And it is compatible with the Source-Talkback iOS app, available on the Apple App Store, for remote MIDI control.

Low Latency Monitor Fix

Using low latency mode in Pro Tools with a third party interface creates some challenges when using hardware monitoring. Using Source-Nexus Mute-On, you can make low latency mode in Pro Tools work how you want it to by using the plugin to mute the track when idle and in record, so you do not hear a doubling of your mic that you are monitoring through your audio hardware, and unmuting on playback so you can still hear the playback audio from the track.

One Track Remote Playback

When recording audio from a Source-Connect connection, you can use Source-Nexus Mute-On on the record track, and another instance on your master fader or a separate aux, to be able to record and playback takes to a remote talent without needing to move the recorded audio to separate playback track to avoid feeding the talent back to themselves.

And Many More

Use Source-Nexus Mute-On as an A/B switch to A/B mixes or even mics. Use it to mute your click track or beeps on playback, so you only hear them when recording. Use a single instance of the plugin for two talkback mics by utilizing the sidechain input, to help simplify your session. Automatically switch the mix your talent hears during playback and record. The possibilities are endless.

Source-Nexus Suite

Source-Nexus Suite is an ever-evolving suite of solutions for transforming your online meetings into flawless remote sessions. Elevate your streaming and routing workflows while eliminating common remote production challenges.
