AudioGridder is a network bridge for audio and MIDI that allows for offloadingthe DSP processing of audio plugins to remote computers running macOS orWindows. This can come in handy when mixing complex projects or running CPUintensive instruments for instance. AudioGridder comes with a plugin and aserver and supports VST2, VST3 and AudioUnit plugin formats. Plugins can behosted and accessed across the network: simply run the AudioGridder server on aremote machine and connect your DAW using the AudioGridder plugin. This allowsyou to add remote insert chains or instruments into your DAW's signal paths. TheDSP code of the loaded remote plugins will be executed on the remote machine andthe remote plugin UI's will be streamed over the wire. With AudioGridder you getan experience very close to hosting the plugins directly in your DAW but notusing your local CPU.
