SuperSonic's new Link Audio output stream seems too good to be true.

It just works. It even gracefully handled a network card switch. With an ethernet connection you can get the latency really low.

Nice work @ableton

BTW, this will be included in the upcoming Sonic Pi v5 Beta 3 release for you to play with. Stay tuned!

I'm working on adding full Ableton Link v4 support to SuperSonic.

This includes support for Link Audio - enabling you to effortlessly stream audio between different machines on your local network.

Today I was streaming the output from an experimental Link Audio capable Sonic Pi running on my Mac to Ableton Live 12.4 running on my PC over WiFi.

Sonic Pi v5 Beta 2 [VJ + Streaming Tools].

Fresh new Sonic Pi beta just dropped - ASIO support, audio + video recording, video streaming.

Coming up in Sonic Pi v5 beta 2...

* Support for ASIO on Windows
* Record jams as both video and audio
* Stream video via Syphon/Spout to OBS/VJ software etc.
* New debug logs in the GUI

I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that this year's Goatmire will be legendary.

In my opinion it was by far the best conference of 2025.

Just completed my first live coded performance using v5 of Sonic Pi powered by SuperSonic.

Definitely a MASSIVE eat your own dogfood moment.

I live coded up to the opening keynote for MongoDB.local London and it went super smoothly.

For the past few years I've used a handy free tool called Syphoner to extract the Sonic Pi GUI as a Syphon stream to inject and mix it in my VJ software.

Yesterday I discovered Syphoner had issues working with the latest macOS and the project seems abandoned.

So I did what any sensible individual would do and added Syphon output support to Sonic Pi directly.

It'll be part of the next v5 beta along with ASIO support for Windows users.
