Audiomovers LISTENTO - We Get The Back Story

With a choice of solutions on the table for remote working, we went to talk to the creators of one of the industry’s most-used. Watch our full interview as we get the whole story and take in some very well-known studio locations along the way…

Remote Studio Workflows - A Brief History

While remote studio working has really taken off following recent world events, the technology has been conquering geography for longer than some might think. Prior to internet workflows, the ISDN connection familiar to some was the pipe down which audio could be ported, allowing talent to join in down-the-line for broadcast as well as for more forward-thinking recording sessions.

Following the development of both faster internet connections and greater computing power, those working remotely have many options to lean on. This has not been exclusive to those using more traditional tower or rack studio machines, with laptop and mobile users embracing remote work as well. Thanks to tools that have been picked-up by the industry, such as those from Audiomovers, the collaborative landscape looks to be in good shape.
