Insert Stream vs Pragmatic Audio PEQ

Insert Stream is a companion remote app for Insert which is a desktop app. Insert stream lets you monitor audio from your Mac on your phone over your local network. Connect to Insert, view the stream status, see the current sample rate, and switch the stream between pre- and post-FX chain monitoring from your phone. Insert Stream is designed for local studio and desktop workflows. It does not require an internet audio service; your phone and Mac just need to be on the same local network. Requires Insert running on macOS with streaming enabled.
