Collaborative Online Audio Mixing in the Box:

Presenting a case for the DAW Collaboration Framework

The DAW Collaboration Framework (DCF) is the tangible output of doctoral research conducted over the past four years. The DCF comprises a web application and supporting network infrastructure that together create a secure online group of users, provide audio-visual and text-based lines of communication and, crucially, interface with existing desktop DAW applications to capture and distribute DAW-generated control data to all users. The DCF’s web application utilises WebRTC protocols for a real-time videoconferencing capability and concurrent data exchange conduits between users, and Web MIDI protocols to link with a DAW’s remote controller/control surface integration and external synchronisation mechanisms. Early prototypes have successfully interfaced with Steinberg’s Cubase and Nuendo, delivering synchronised mixer console operations, plugin parameter changes, transport functions and navigation. Current developmental work is targeting additional DAW platform integration, real-time cross-DAW interoperability and transitioning to a new cloud media server facility.
