TECHNOLOGY

Source Connect, Source-Nexus and the Source Elements ecosystem

Source Connect is the industry-standard technology for professional audio for the transmission of broadcast-quality audio over the Internet. It has replaced ISDN worldwide, becoming the reference protocol for radio, television, film and advertising productions. Unlike a standard video call, Source Connect transmits uncompressed audio or audio with high-fidelity codecs (OPUS, AAC, up to 24-bit/96kHz), guaranteeing controlled latency and a quality indistinguishable from physical presence in the studio. The signal is routed through the Source Elements network with automatic timecode synchronisation, the option to back up to a local file, and native integration with Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Reaper and all major professional DAWs.

A studio open to the entire world.

Over the years, Source Elements — the company behind Source Connect — has developed a full ecosystem of tools for remote audio collaboration:

• Source Connect Pro — The studio-grade version, with full-duplex sessions up to 24bit/96kHz, timecode sync, local disk backup and native integration with Pro Tools HD. The absolute reference for ADR, voiceover and broadcast productions.
• Source-Nexus Suite — The professional suite for online collaboration and real-time audio production, including six integrated products: Source-Nexus Control Panel, Gateway, I/O, Mute-On, Review and Router.
• Source-Nexus Free — The free version that allows audio sessions with up to 5 participants, built-in recorder, talkback, passkey protection and audio quality identical to the paid version.
• Source Connect Now / Source-Nexus Gateway — The browser-based version accessible to anyone, with no software installation, no iLok or port forwarding required. The talent connects from Chrome with a simple link.

All these tools share the same infrastructure and are fully compatible with each other: whether your studio uses Source Connect Pro, Source-Nexus Suite or simply a Gateway link, Sounds Like Studio can receive the signal and manage the session from the Florence end.

What Sounds Like Studio offers

APPLICATIONS

Examples of use.

This model adapts to very different scenarios:

• TV productions and documentaries — A TV production company that needs to record a narrator’s voice, with the audio editor connected from their own control room in another city.
• ADR and film productions — An international production requiring ADR sessions with an actor based in Tuscany, coordinated directly by the sound supervisor on set or in post.
• Commercials and voiceover — An advertising agency remotely supervising the recording of a commercial with a Florentine voice talent selected for the campaign.
• Localisation and dubbing — A localisation studio that needs a local recording point for voice actors in the area, without having to move the entire production pipeline.
• Audiobooks and fiction — A publisher producing an audiobook with a narrator based in Florence, supervised by their producer in another city.
• E-learning and corporate training — A platform or corporation recording training content with a locally selected presenter, while maintaining creative control remotely.
• International speakers passing through — Voice professionals visiting Tuscany who need a professional studio to honour a remote session with their client.

In all these cases, Sounds Like Studio is your reference studio in Florence: a professional acoustic environment, a clean signal and a sound engineer as your on-site technical contact. A simple, direct and reliable collaboration — so your production can focus on what truly matters: the performance.
