Quick Summary
- ▸ CodeBranch developed a platform that enabled seamless audio communication between multiple collaborators, regardless of the DAW they were using.
- Breakthrough zero-latency workflow — one creator can record with zero added latency at a time, regardless of internet speed, distance, or location
- Cross-platform plugin foundation delivered with Mac and Windows compatibility, covering VST and AU formats and over 80% of the target market
Overview
This project, developed by CodeBranch, consisted of building a platform that enables seamless audio communication between multiple collaborators, regardless of the DAW each one is using. Designed as a cutting-edge solution, the platform is set to be a game-changer in the music industry, revolutionizing how musicians and producers collaborate, share, and co-create music in real time. The communication features are specifically focused on co-creation and co-production processes, making it easier for artists to work together across different tools and environments. Beyond collaboration, the platform also fosters community-building, providing a space where users can connect, exchange ideas, and grow together as part of a global creative network.
Industries
Services Provided
- Cross-Platform Development
- Custom Software Development
- Plug-in Development
Approach
The technologies used in this project are C++/JUCE for the DAW plugin layer and .NET MAUI for the companion desktop application. The project is ongoing; the team has been composed of 2 Senior Developers. CodeBranch worked alongside DAWn''s CTO to co-design the companion desktop app architecture that manages session orchestration and connectivity, and structured the codebase for a clean and scalable engineering handoff.
Results
- Breakthrough zero-latency workflow — one creator can record with zero added latency at a time, regardless of internet speed, distance, or location
- Cross-platform plugin foundation delivered with Mac and Windows compatibility, covering VST and AU formats and over 80% of the target market
- Companion desktop app architecture designed collaboratively with DAWn's CTO for session orchestration and connectivity
- Scalable engineering handoff — codebase structured so DAWn's internal team could continue development independently
- Product launched and generating revenue; early validation showed 75% of surveyed artists would pay for multiplayer collaboration if reliability issues were solved
