SonoBus for Linux

SonoBus is a free and open source software for streaming audio between devices on a network.

It works well on Linux, as well as on macOS, Windows, and iOS.

The app lets users send and receive live, high-quality audio with very little delay, either over the internet or a local network.

This makes it useful for things like online music sessions, conferences, or any situation where people need to share sound in real time.

The software offers detailed control over audio settings.

Users can adjust latency (the time it takes sound to travel), audio quality, and how different inputs are mixed together.

SonoBus also provides effects such as input compression, noise gating, equalization (EQ), and a master reverb to improve sound.

All settings can be changed while streaming, and the app shows clear network statistics to help monitor connection quality.

SonoBus runs as a standalone app on Linux and other main platforms, and it also works as an audio plugin (AU, VST, and AAX) on macOS and Windows.

This means you can use it on your desktop computer, inside Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), or on mobile devices.

The software supports uncompressed PCM audio (16, 24, or 32 bit) and compressed formats using the Opus codec, which keeps latency low while saving bandwidth.

While SonoBus focuses on network audio streaming, it does not support offline or non-network-based use.

Also, there is no detailed information about its user interface, which might affect users who want advanced customization.

Overall, SonoBus suits tech-savvy users looking for a safe and flexible tool to share live audio on Linux and other platforms.
