Virtual Glass is a networking plug-in designed for RTAS, AU, and VST host applications that enables real-time peer-to-peer audio and video streaming over the Internet. It allows musicians and engineers to collaborate remotely by providing discrete talkback channels and Rewire synchronization between connected systems. The plug-in offers a zero configuration setup, making it accessible and straightforward for users to establish live sessions without technical hurdles.

Inspired by the traditional recording studio setup where the engineer and musicians are separated by a glass partition, Virtual Glass creates a virtual environment that replicates this experience. Its intuitive 3D interface features a recording console and a virtual glass partition that functions as a video screen, helping users feel comfortable and engaged during remote recording sessions. This design supports seamless interaction between participants, regardless of their technical expertise.

To operate Virtual Glass, users need a compatible recording program, a high-speed Internet connection, a webcam, and an eSession user account. It supports any Mac-compatible built-in, USB, or FireWire camera for real-time video and voice communication using the camera’s microphone. The software facilitates audio streaming between different host applications around the world, enabling musicians and producers to collaborate effectively in real time with synchronized playback and clear communication.
