 Major update for SessionLinkPRO | Recording

SessionLinkPRO | Recording received a major update today. The following features have been added:

• the audio output device can now be selected directly from the user interface – no need to use the operating systems default output anymore
• the receive meter now displays incoming stereo signals correctly
• a “dual mono” mode was added – connect two guests simultaneously with full channel separation

To use the new features, Chrome version 49 or above is mandatory. But don’t worry: older Chrome versions will still work with basic features. More information on the brand new “dual mono” mode can be found in the revised quick start guide in the support section of our homepage.

 SessionLinkPRO | Conferencing update

A couple of new features hit SessionLinkPRO | Conferencing within the last month:

• a fader was added to adjust your microphone level (available at setup and in the main window throughout the active conference)
• Advanced audio processing was added to prevent feedback and echoes
• the session host is now able to mute incoming audio streams

 New Backup Server online

On our chase for highest availability, we’ve installed a second, completely independent backup server at https://backup.sessionlinkpro.com

If the main server can’t be reached, just use the backup. Though this never happened up to now…

 Revised Metering

SessionLinkPRO’s user interface received an update!

We’ve build a revised metering visualisation featuring a new dBfs scale and a clipping indicator for better control of your levels.

 The SessionLinkPRO Network is online!

Lots of clients asked for it – here it is! The SessionLinkPRO Network directory is online.

You’ll get a free entry with the purchase of a subcription period. Customize it on our ‘Account’ page.

 German homepage online

The German version of our homepage is online at http://sessionlinkpro.de

 New video function enters beta test!

Our new video add-on for SessionLinkPRO is now in beta test stage. You can try it here:

https://sessionlinkpro.com/video.php

Just login with your regular username and password, select your video source and send a video link to the guest. You may use your webcam, or, if you want to stream your production video, you can use a capture device to grab the video from your DAW. Blackmagic cards like e.g. Blackmagic Intensity and some Canopus cards work well. You can also try to use a screencapture with Camtwist or XSplit.

 Small update

Due to many requests, the account’s expiration date is now displayed in the top right corner of the browser window
