How it works

Three steps.
That's it.

🔇 tap for sound
01🎛️

Insert on master bus

Drop dBaton CUE on your master bus in any DAW — Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools, Reaper, Cubase, Studio One. Click Start.

02🔗

Share the link

The plugin generates a unique URL. Send it to your client, artist, label, or A&R — anyone who needs to hear the mix.

03🎧

They listen live

They open the link in any browser — phone, laptop, tablet. Real-time stereo audio, instant. No app needed.

Features

Professional audio streaming,
no compromises.

🎵 True stereo

Full stereo imaging with independent L/R channels. Hard-pan a synth left — your client hears it in the left speaker. Not downmixed, not summed.

⚡ Ultra-low latency

Adaptive jitter buffer adjusts automatically to network conditions. Typical latency 60–200ms — close enough to feel live.

🔒 Private & encrypted

Your audio is always encrypted end-to-end. dBaton CUE automatically selects the optimal connection path for your network — direct (dC1), assisted (dC2), or premium relay (dC3) — to deliver the best quality with minimum latency.

📱 Works everywhere

Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox — desktop and mobile. Your client opens a link. That's it.

🔄 Auto-reconnect

Network drops? The browser reconnects automatically. Switch from WiFi to 4G and it recovers. No refresh needed.

👥 Multiple listeners

Up to 8 simultaneous listeners per session. Send the same link to the artist, the A&R, the manager — everyone hears the same mix.

What people are saying

Baze Nastevski
“Just what I needed after years routing bananas and potatoes.”
Baze Nastevski Composer & Pianist
Matt de Vallejo
“Before dBaton CUE, I'd record drums and send a rough premix. Half the time I'd have to reopen the session and rerecord. Now it happens in one pass, real-time. The most practical solution for remote recording — no subscription.”
Matt de Vallejo Session drummer, Logic · Aitana, Mónica Naranjo, Carlos Escobedo
Héctor Muñoz
“A simple, direct way to share high-quality sound with my clients. Sharing screen and sound over Zoom or Google Meet is a bit of a mess. This solves it instantly.”
Héctor Muñoz Composer & Pianist, Cubase

FAQ

Common questions.

Yes, there's latency — a few seconds, and it stays stable. CUE is a listening stream, not a jamming tool: your client hears what your DAW is playing a few seconds after you hit play. For an approval session that doesn't matter — you talk on the phone, they judge the audio on the stream. If you need to play together in real time, CUE is the wrong tool.
A dedicated music stream — not the audio path of a video call. No noise suppression, no voice optimisation, no automatic ducking of whatever the software decides isn't speech. That is the whole difference: your client hears the balance, the low end and the automation, and can give you real notes on a real mix instead of guessing. CUE is built for judging a mix, not for delivering one — when they need the actual file, send them the file.
Usually, yes. CUE picks the best route it can on its own: dC1 connects you and your client directly, and when a network blocks that — corporate firewalls often do — it falls back automatically to our assisted routes, dC2 and dC3, so the session still happens. Your client installs and configures nothing either way, and you don't choose: CUE does. If their IT team wants to clear the path in advance, write to us and we'll send them exactly what they need. And if a session matters, test the link the day before — it takes thirty seconds.
If your DAW loads VST3, AU or AAX plugins on the master bus, yes — Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Studio One, REAPER and virtually every modern DAW. CUE is a plugin, not a separate app, so there's no loopback routing or virtual audio device to set up: insert it on your master, copy the link, send it. It runs on macOS 13 or later and Windows 10 or later.
CUE is built for approval sessions, not broadcasts. In practice that means a director, an editor, a producer or two — a handful of people who need to hear the cue and give notes now. Eight simultaneous listeners covers that comfortably. If you need to stream to a crowd, CUE is the wrong tool.
Your audio is encrypted from your machine to your client's browser, and it stays encrypted even when it travels over one of our assisted routes — we cannot listen in on it. Nothing is recorded and nothing is stored on our servers: the stream is live, and when it ends it is gone. Password-protected links are on our roadmap; they are not in the product today, and we won't promise a date.
Your trial starts the rent-to-own plan. 14 days free, then $12.50/mo, and it's yours after 16 payments. Cancel before the 14 days end and you won't be charged. If you'd rather own it outright, you can cancel the trial and buy once at the founding price while places remain.
The first 25 licenses are $129 instead of $199 — a thank-you for buying before the tutorials and the reviews exist. Founding buyers also get a direct line to me, the developer. When those 25 are gone, the price returns to $199 and stays there. This is not a recurring sale.
Yes, to start — but you won't be charged during the 14 days, and you can cancel anytime before they end.
No charge. Simple as that.
Yes — buy once for $129, with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
