Your iPhone, live in the session. Link Audio Bridge streams your iPhone's microphone, or any audio interface you plug in, straight into an Ableton Link session over your local network. It's metered, compressed and locked to the shared tempo. No cables to the computer and no account. STREAM โข Send mono or stereo audio to Ableton Live, or any Link peer that supports Link Audio, over Wi-Fi โข Pick any connected input: built-in mic, USB interface or headset โข Watch it the whole way with a stereo input meter on a true dB scale, with peak hold SHAPE โข A compressor built in, so the signal is under control before it leaves the phone โข Threshold, ratio, attack, release and make-up gain โข A live gain reduction meter shows exactly how hard it's working โข Your settings are remembered between sessions SYNC โข Locked to Link: shared tempo and beat position with every peer on the network โข Start and stop the Link transport from the phone โข A Link-synced click on the phone to play along to โข MIDI clock out, with start and stop, to keep other MIDI gear and apps in time WHAT YOU NEED โข Ableton Live 12.4 or later, or another compatible Link peer โข Your iPhone and computer on the same local network Something not working in your setup? Email hi@happyorbitlabs.com and tell us what you're running. The click only plays through the phone's own speaker or headphones and isn't sent into the stream, so the copy doesn't say it reaches Live.
