[NAMM]Source Elements Source-Connect 3.1

The introduction of Source-Connect 3.0 with Auto-Restore and Auto-Replace overcame every quality issue that IP streaming can encounter, while simultaneously delivering vastly superior audio quality compared to ISDN, according to Source Elements. The 3.1 update is designed to make the entire process easier and even more reliable. Included with this update is Source-Connect Standard for Audio Units and VST, all fully compatible with our Pro Tools product line.

Source-Connect 3.1's Auto-Restore feature operates in the background using the Q-Manager application. The Q-Manager automatically identifies dropped dropouts packets, recalls them from the remote system and restores them into the original audio file without ever leaving the timeline: quickly and automatically. Source-Connect 3.1 brings general network improvements and adds features including optional FTP mode for PCM Replace, a cleaner user interface with better user feedback, the ability to export an entire session to a sound file for even more levels of backup, an faster easier method of managing the Q data, and Auto-Restore and Auto-Replace features are now active with VPN mode.

Source-Connect 3.1's Auto-Replace feature calls for the remotely recorded, uncompressed audio file and then locally replaces the AAC file with the full resolution PCM counterpart; not just on the hard drive but also within the timeline. No longer does the Recording Engineer have to deal with FTP downloads or have to re-edit the uncompressed file into an already edited timeline, according to Source Elements.
