Is Source-Connect mission-critical for your work? Source-Connect Pro is a valuable tool for getting connected with the most professional results.
I'm a voiceover artist. So, why Source-Connect Pro?
HIGHER QUALITY SETTINGS
While Source-Connect Standard allows you to send your voice at the same quality as ISDN, with Pro you can send your voice even higher quality - taking advantage of the power of broadband and modern computing.
TRAVEL
Source-Connect Pro offers extended features that make it easy to use when traveling and using unknown networks. For example, within the settings panel of Source-Connect Pro you can choose what port to use - this can really be of use especially when the default port isn't available. And a clever trick can help your connection: some firewalls only allow a port to be used once until they block it off. With Pro, you can change your port number for each connection, saving you the hassle of having to speak with the administrator of the network.
Additionally, Source-Connect Pro comes with VPN (Virtual Private Network) mode and works seamlessly with the Hamachi VPN protocol. (Read more about Hamachi here). You can also use Source-Connect Pro VPN with any VPN connection that may be provided to you from any corporate network, or contact Source Elements for advice before you leave on your trip.
ISDN BRIDGING
For easy use and configuration, Source-Connect Standard comes with a menu of quick settings: low, medium and high. However, if you are doing a lot of ISDN bridging you'll find Pro has the extra flexibility you need to lower the latency and get higher quality connections. Source-Connect Pro's settings panel allows you to lower the latency down to 10ms (that can save over half a second in latency!), and you can choose the exact quality you want to work with to save the time and hassle of recording yourself and sending the recording via ftp after the session.
CERTIFICATION
Source-Connect Pro includes free certification. We'll work with you to get your setup working perfectly. Let everyone know that you have the pro setup of the most advanced software and a great internet connection.
SUPPORT
Source-Connect Pro includes a full year of all-inclusive phone, email and Source-Connect support.
SOURCE-CONNECT STANDALONE
While Source-Connect Pro is currently only available for Pro Tools, this summer Source Elements is releasing a standalone version of Source-Connect Pro for Mac OSX. What does this mean? Basically, no more need to run Pro Tools or Source Elements Desktop. While the first version won't allow you to record directly within the software yet, it gives you quick access to your connection, on any OSX system, with any audio hardware. Complete integration with the Q Manager means that you'll be saving a backup of your session automatically for your connection studio to access if needed. Support for Windows 7/Vista/XP is coming in 2010.
