Sending a "Headphone Cue" Mix

The templates hosted below are meant to help give an idea of what a typical DAW project/session should look like when sending customized "headphone cue" mix through Sessionwire to a remote collaborator.

Sessionwire hosts templates for nearly every DAW on the market - however, these templates are meant to simply give an idea of what routing in each particular DAW should look like in order to successfully stream project/session audio to and from the Sessionwire application.

Due to the variance in workflows used from user to user, modifications to the template may need to be made to fit each use case.

If you don't see a template for your DAW below, please reach out to us via the chat bubble or at support@sessionwire.com.


Sending HQ Audio Only via a DAW

These templates will allow for the streaming of DAW audio through Sessionwire by creating an aux/cue, placing the Sessionwire plugin on the aux/cue and routing audio to said cue to create a customized mix for the remote collaborator to hear.

All Talkback audio is routed directly in and out of the Sessionwire application - no Talkback plugins are used or needed. 

Settings in Sessionwire should be set as follows:

  • Talkback Microphone: Default - Audio Interface or built-in microphone or webcam microphone
  • Talkback Speaker: Default - Audio Interface or built-in output or built-in headphone output
  • HQ Audio Source: Sessionwire Send Plugin
  • HQ Audio Destination: Default - Audio Interface or built-in output or built-in headphone output

We recommend starting with this set up to get audio streaming back and forth across the Sessionwire connection and only using other templates/routing as needed.
