Soundwhale is a web service launched last October, including the macOS / iOS app for collaborative audio production over the Internet - also especially for film projects. At a time of the corona crisis, this type of remote collaboration is becoming increasingly important, which is why Soundwhale has now introduced additional practical functions, such as synchronizing the timeline / playback with iOS devices (remote ADR) and hands-free remote recording.

Users can use Soundwhale to send audio tracks to their contacts, or connect to Pro Tools or another DAW and stream sound from there, as well as remotely control MIDI instruments or another user's timeline / playback. Soundwhales can also be used to create podcasts, manage audio tracks or record sound in sync with video, for example for dubbing.

In addition, the team members in Soundwhale can communicate via video chat and listen to sounds together and mix them (to visuals) to get real-time feedback, they can also exchange files via drag & drop and share their screen content with each other.
