Satellite Plugins
Collaborate with anyone, on any DAW.
Overview
Satellite Plugins, developed by Mixed In Key, is a tool designed to break down the barriers of DAW incompatibility in collaboration. It consists of two plugins, 'Satellite Sessions' and 'Satellite MIDI'. By inserting the plugin into their respective DAWs (e.g., Ableton, Logic, Pro Tools), users can stream and record high-quality audio and MIDI to and from each other in a shared session, regardless of the software they are using.

🎯 Key Differentiators

🎯 Use Cases (3)
✅ Best For
- Enables seamless project sharing and collaboration between users of different major DAWs.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Users who all work on the same DAW (native collaboration might be better)
- Live, in-sync jamming (it's for asynchronous track sharing)
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike native collaboration tools which lock you into one ecosystem (like Pro Tools), Satellite is universal. Compared to manual file sharing, it's a much more integrated and seamless workflow.
