sonobus VS LightHost

Sounds like you could use https://sonobus.net/ and possibly https://vdo.ninja/ but you might have that already covered with jitsi.

Our collaboration software might look something like Sonobus and vdo.ninja for live jamming (if we're close enough), Discord or Whatsapp for chatting, maybe Area for reviewing mix-downs, and Bandlab for stem-sharing (Reaper too, if you've got it). I'm open to all suggestions. I'm also interested in learning how to use something like Sonic Sound Picture to do visualisations, or maybe creating AI generated animations, if deciding to upload anything to YT.

If you're in a 2000km of each other and have good wired connections, Sonobus is absolutely amazing, especially in conjunction with video.ninja.

There's a plugin out there for this. https://sonobus.net

Most of these Android TV boxes can pair with bluetooth speakers, head phones and ear buds, however most mobile phones can't receive audio through bluetooth, they can only transmit it. I think the aux is disabled when bluetooth is used, or maybe it was the opposite. I'm not sure now because I tried to do this a few years ago and gave up because it was easier to just buy a bluetooth headset. Most of the apps I found were not free and were more about pc to mobile. There may be some more apps around now. Most popular apps I considered, were not bluetooth but WiFi network ones like this https://sonobus.net/

This sounds promising: https://sonobus.net/ Multi-user, multi-platform, open-source, completely free.

If you're looking to do this over wi-fi, try Sonobus.

I look all over the internet and nobody seems to be talking about it, I use Voicemeeter on my PC to split my audio into separate tracks for easier editing, recently started using [Lighthost](https://github.com/rolandoislas/LightHost) to add the VST directly into live audio and lessen my work load.

Since you need to eq in multiple places, I would recommend a combination of LightHost as your VST host and ReaPlugs for your actual tools (ReaEq is the one we want, but there's a lot of other useful stuff you can play around with like ReaGate for noise gating and ReaFir for background noise removal if you have a mic that pics up everything in a 3 block radius).

I have an ASIO soundcard and use Voicemeeter Potato along with lighthost. Voicemeeter is a virtual mixer and it allows you to hook an external send/return to Lighthost, and Lighthost can load up any VST plugins you need.

Light Host

So what I ended up doing instead is downloading and using LightHost (https://github.com/rolandoislas/LightHost) to run the plugins and patch them to my A1 (mic input) in Voicemeeter instead, and I set it up so it will now run at startup. Now it's saving all my plugin tweaks and settings with no issues when I restart my windows PC.

An alternative to SAVIHost might be LightHost it supports loading more than one VST but is still very simple and just sits in your Windows Tray.

Yup here you are : https://github.com/rolandoislas/LightHost

I have no idea why but OBS was very cranky working with that plugin, so personally I ended up using a combination of reastream, voicemeeter, and light host.
