How to Stream Your DAW Audio to Any Browser — In 30 Seconds

For mixing engineers, producers, and anyone who needs a client, collaborator, or vocalist to hear their DAW output right now — without bouncing a file.

The problem

You're in the middle of a mix. Your client wants to hear it. Right now. Not in 20 minutes after you bounce, upload, and wait for them to download.

Or you're producing remotely and the vocalist wants to hear the playback on their phone while recording in another city.

Or the A&R wants to check in on the session without interrupting your flow.

These situations happen every day. And until now, the solutions were terrible.

What doesn't work (and why)

Zoom / Google Meet / FaceTime

Share your screen, they hear mono compressed audio through a video call. It sounds like a phone call from 2005. The automatic noise suppression fights your kick drum. Your stereo image disappears. Not acceptable for music.

Bounce and send

Export, upload to Dropbox or WeTransfer, wait, they download, they listen, they text you “can you turn up the vocal?”, you bounce again. Repeat 15 times. A single revision takes 20–30 minutes of dead time. An afternoon gone.

OBS + Twitch / YouTube

3–10 seconds of latency. Your client hears your mix half a song behind what you're doing. Completely useless for real-time feedback. And setting it up takes longer than the session itself.

What actually works

A plugin that sits on your master bus and streams studio-quality stereo audio directly to a browser. Your client opens a link — on their phone, laptop, or tablet — and hears exactly what you hear. In real time.

No app to install. No account to create. No file to download. Just a link.

How to set it up (30 seconds)

1. Download dBaton CUE from dbaton.com/download/latest
2. Install it — macOS or Windows
3. Open your DAW — Logic, Ableton, Reaper, Pro Tools, Cubase, Studio One, FL Studio, Bitwig
4. Insert dBaton CUE on your master bus (or any bus)
5. Click Start
6. Copy the link and send it to your client via WhatsApp, email, iMessage — whatever you use
7. They open it. They hear your mix. Done.

What your client sees

A clean, dark player with a volume control and a VU meter. No clutter, no sign-up forms, no “download our app” popups. They press play and hear your mix in stereo.

Works on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. Works on iPhone, Android, iPad. Works on any laptop. If they have a browser and an internet connection, they can listen.
