💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Users of other DAWs like Pro Tools or Ableton Live
- Live jamming (it's designed for recording, not real-time performance)
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike DAW-agnostic tools like Sessionwire, it offers a much deeper and more convenient workflow for Steinberg users. Compared to Pro Tools Cloud Collaboration, it is focused specifically on the task of remote recording rather than full project collaboration.
