Hi all,

Just released VoidLinkAudio — VST3 and AU plugins that bring Ableton Link Audio into any DAW (Reaper, Bitwig, Logic, Cubase, Studio One, FL Studio, Live, etc.).



What it does

Two companion plugins:
  • VoidLinkAudioReceive — subscribe to a named audio channel published anywhere on your local network. Outputs L/R audio into your DAW track.
  • VoidLinkAudioSend — publish a stereo audio signal as a named Link Audio channel. Other Link Audio peers on the network can subscribe.
So you can route audio between two DAWs running on the same machine, or across two machines on a LAN — no virtual cable software, no audio interface routing tricks, no driver weirdness.

Built on top of Ableton Link Audio (https://github.com/Ableton/link), the network audio extension that ships with Live 12.4 (May 5, 2026).

Use cases
  • Replace BlackHole / Loopback / VB-Cable for inter-app routing on a single machine
  • Multi-machine sessions: producer in Reaper on machine A, sound designer in Bitwig on machine B, both on the same LAN
  • Hybrid hardware/software setups: send audio from your DAW into a TouchDesigner machine running visuals, in tempo
  • Network jam: a friend joins your session from their own laptop on Wi-Fi, you hear each other
  • Any time you want to send audio from one app to another without dealing with virtual audio drivers
Formats and platforms
  • macOS (Apple Silicon arm64 + Intel x86_64) — VST3 + AU
  • Windows (x64) — VST3
  • CLAP support coming
All Mac binaries are signed with my Apple Developer ID and Apple-notarized.

Tested in

Reaper 7+, Bitwig Studio 5+, Logic Pro 11+ (AU), Cubase 13+, Studio One 7+, FL Studio 21+ (Win VST3), Ableton Live 12+. Should work in any other VST3/AU host.

Pricing

Pay what you want, minimum 0. Set price to 0 if that's what works — the binaries are the same.

Companion product (open-source connectors)

If you also use Max/MSP, Pure Data, TouchDesigner, VCV Rack, or openFrameworks, there's a companion connectors bundle (also PWYW) at gumroad.com/l/voidlinkaudio-connectors (https://structurevoid.gumroad.com/l/voidlinkaudio-connectors).
