Steinberg has released VST Connect Pro, a remote recording solution for Cubase 7 users.
VST Connect Pro allows you to record in real time through the internet and local area networks. It transmits stereo recordings on the fly, but also records up to 16 high-resolution audio tracks in the background.
To establish a peer-to-peer connection the VST Connect Performer download is freely available on the client side.
Steinberg is also introducing Studio Pass, the free iOS app for VST Connect soon to be available through the App Store on iTunes, letting users dial into the recording session with an iPhone or iPad.
Here’s the official intro video:

Steinberg should warn potential buyers about the internet connection that is needed to make use of this product. It’s a marketing lie by omission not to.
Well duh… who would’ve thought an internet audio recorder would use your internet connection…
… but there are some people who believes streaming videos on Youtube is not downloading any data so maybe it would be necessary for those people .. 🙂
They should also warn customers that they have a history of creating and then abandoning formats and technology after they’ve removed money from their customer’s wallets.
Just like Apple, Native Instruments, Korg, Akai, .. hmm.. what other company am I forgetting that abandonned formats and technology in the past two years alone?
i can’t imagine that 1 out of 2 times i check a video about recording made by “pros” there is a noise or something like this in the background -_-
