How do I remote control my partner's DAW?

  • Click on the Control Screen icon in Squadron's left toolbar

I can't hear audio from my DAW while in a session

  • Check your DAW's audio output settings and make sure it is configured to use the Squadron output.
  • Ensure that the audio output in Squadron's settings are configured to use your monitors or headphones.
  • To enable you to monitor your DAW's output while streaming to your collaborator, Squadron sends audio from the Squadron audio device to the output you have set in Squadron's settings. You can access Squadron's settings by clicking on the gear icon in the left toolbar while in a session.
  • If none of the above solve the problem, end the session and start a new session.

  • Make sure that your partner has their DAW's audio output set to Squadron. Also ask your partner to ensure their audio input in Squadron's settings are configured to use their microphone.
  • Squadron merges audio from the Squadron audio device with your partner's microphone and streams the result to you.

I hear echos, delays, or feedback when collaborating with my partner

  • Ideally, the collaborator who is streaming audio should wear headphones so that the microphone does not pick up audio from monitors.

The audio I hear back from my DAW sounds out of key or warped
