Muse

A remote collaboration desktop app and plugin suite that lets musicians stream high-quality DAW audio, share MIDI, and record across live sessions.

Muse is a desktop application paired with audio plugins (available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats) designed to let producers, engineers, and musicians collaborate remotely in real time. Rather than relying on generic video conferencing apps that degrade audio quality and complicate routing, Muse captures DAW master outputs, discrete microphone feeds, and connected instruments directly, allowing collaborators to hear clean audio and track into sessions from anywhere. The platform integrates virtual audio and MIDI drivers alongside remote screen control and drag-and-drop file sharing. This setup allows an engineer to operate a collaborator's DAW remotely or record a remote vocalist or instrumentalist straight into their own timeline without relying on complicated third-party loopback software. Muse provides a free download to start, with paid plans available for extended features. It fits cleanly into the tracking, remote production, and mix-review phases of a modern recording workflow where real-time, high-fidelity audio feedback is essential.
