Authentic Audio – Make Music With Anyone, Anywhere
Ginger Audio describes Authentic Audio as a “real-time, high-quality audio streaming plugin from your DAW to anywhere.”
There is a seven-day free trial, but after that, you’d need to opt for a subscription, which is priced at $5.90 weekly, $12.90 monthly, or $99 annually.
So, what do you get with Authentic Audio, and how does it simplify remote collaboration for musicians?
Ginger Audio states that the plugin allows you to collaborate in real-time with other creatives in low latency, lossless audio at PCM 32-bit, 96 kHz quality.
Authentic Audio is compatible with VST3, AAX, and AU plugin hosts. The plugin can stream from these formats to supported web browsers on desktop and mobile devices.
Authentic Audio also boasts unlimited connections, video chat, screen sharing, talkback surround sound, and multichannel support. It’s definitely a step up from any other music collaboration service we tried in the past.
If you want to get an idea of how all this works, check out the in-depth YouTube tutorial from Ginger Audio.

The developer states that Authentic Audio is designed for “flawless live transmission and reception.” There’s nothing worse than lag and connection problems standing in the way of an online jam, and Authentic Audio aims to prevent this by ensuring a stable connection throughout.
Ginger Audio adds that the plugin “delivers unparalleled sound clarity, ensuring your virtual sessions meet the highest audio standards.”
No doubt, for someone who regularly does remote collaborations, Authentic Audio could become an essential tool. However, you’ll need a good internet connection on both ends to ensure that the software can perform at its best.
If you only need to use it for a one-off, you can cancel the plan at any time, so the weekly subscription could get you down to business using the high-quality plugin with only a minimal outlay.
Apart from the official tutorial, there doesn’t seem to be much content out there currently showing what Authentic Audio can do.
However, the tutorial does an excellent job of showing the plugin’s capabilities, which, if you need this kind of functionality, could make your life a lot easier.
Ginger Audio is offering an introductory deal for Authentic Audio. If you buy any Ginger Audio product, you’ll receive a free month of access to the plugin.
The company currently offers five products, with the lineup also featuring iRender, GroundControl Sphere, GroundControl Caster, and GroundControl Room.
Ginger Audio products typically enable improved workflow between system components and collaborators while retaining high-quality audio.
