Common questions
Is Auxfeed really free?
Yes. The DAW plugin and the receiver app are free to download and use forever, with no account, no trial, and no time limit. Auxfeed Pro is an optional subscription for advanced metering and remote streaming.
How does Auxfeed work?
You install the Auxfeed plugin (AU, VST3, or AAX) on the master bus of your DAW. The plugin transmits audio over Wi-Fi or via our relay server. Open the Auxfeed app on your phone, tap your DAW in the list, and you hear the mix in real time.
Which DAWs does it work with?
Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, REAPER, Cubase, Nuendo, Studio One, Bitwig Studio, FL Studio, Cakewalk, and any other DAW that supports AU, VST3, or AAX plugin formats.
What's the latency?
On local Wi-Fi with PCM or Opus, latency is typically 20–100 ms depending on your buffer size and Wi-Fi quality. AAC adds about 80 ms of additional codec latency in exchange for the lowest CPU usage on Apple silicon.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Local Wi-Fi monitoring requires no account, no login, and no email. You only create an account if you subscribe to Auxfeed Pro, and that account lives in Apple App Store or Google Play, not on our servers.
Is my audio private?
On local Wi-Fi, audio never leaves your network — it goes straight from your computer to your phone. With Pro relay streaming, audio is end-to-end encrypted and forwarded by our relay servers without being recorded or stored.
How is Auxfeed different from Audiomovers LISTENTO?
LISTENTO charges \$99–\$200 per year. Auxfeed local Wi-Fi monitoring is free forever. For internet streaming, Auxfeed Pro is \$9.99/month or \$79.99/year — about 20% less than LISTENTO and includes pro metering tools that LISTENTO does not.
