DISTRIBUTED AUDIO PLAYBACK AND RECORDING

摘要

Techniques are disclosed for providing distributed audio playback and recording functionality according to certain embodiments. In such embodiments one or more client audio devices can be connected to a server computing device via a network connection, thereby providing distributed audio playback and recording functionality to the server computing device. For example, audio tracks may be recorded at the server computing device based on audio signals collected from one or more remotely-located smartphones. In certain embodiments a transmission control protocol (TCP) network connection is used to transmit audio signals between the server computing device and the one or more remotely located client audio devices, thereby eliminating the need to provide physical cable connections between the devices. Distributing audio data over a network connection also reduces compatibility issues between audio software used by the server computing device and audio hardware provided by the one or more client audio devices.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
establishing a network connection between a client audio device and a server device; transmitting audio data between the client audio device and the server device across the network connection; writing at least a portion of the audio data to a buffer managed by the server device; reading audio data from the buffer after a delay; and processing the audio data using a digital audio workstation running on the server device.
