Source-Nexus has two licenses: FREE (which is completely free) and Suite, which is from $11.95 a month - store.source-elements.com/software-products/source-nexus. Source-Nexus is not to be confused with Source-Connect which is a desktop product purpose-built for remote recording, while Source-Nexus is a browser-based application primarily designed for Review & Approval although many find it suitable for remote recording. Source-Nexus Suite includes not only the professional browser application with stereo chat, video chat, high quality screensharing and isolated stereo audio broadcast, but includes the Source-Nexus Control panel app to create as many virtual drivers as you need, a desktop Router, DAW plugins to send and receive audio to and from any app, and our Source-Nexus Review plugin to transform your DAW session into a communications-ready session.

If I am using Source-Connect Standard to host an event with 17 total participants, can each of the other participants use Source-Connect Free to join that session?
At the moment Source-Nexus Gateway cannot connect directly with Source-Connect, however it is possible to set up a multi-conference between Source-Connect (including multiple instances if using Source-Connect Pro), Source-Nexus Gateway, and any other meeting platform using Source-Nexus and some mix-minus routing setup in your DAW. This video will guide you through how to configure a Pro Tools session with Source-Nexus to achieve this: th-cam.com/video/mhDdiiE3E_c/w-d-xo.html At the moment, Source-Nexus Gateway supports up to 5 participants in the same session, but we are working on adding support for more participants in the same session. So if you have a total of 17 participants this may not suffice at the moment, but another meeting platform could be used in its place until we can support 17 or more participants in the same session.
I think of Nexus as being able to route other audio sources to the stream. For instance, sometimes I want to be able to playback what I just recorded to a client, then switch back to my mic. Will there be a simple function for this, or will it involve soundflower or Loopback or something else? I'm looking forward to seeing the features of the upgrade.
@DavePettittVoiceOver Nexus suite does all of that and more. i think you'll be particularly excited by the Nexus Review plugin as well as Nexus Router. We'll make a video breaking down the premium features of Source-Nexus Suite very soon. In the mean you can watch the webinar we did at launch here: th-cam.com/video/cntfWgvM4fI/w-d-xo.html We also just showed a demo of an overdubbing process at NAMM you might find useful - it will be out as soon as we can!
If you are getting drop outs, it could be because a number of different issues but usually happens due to poor network conditions (low bandwidth, poor WiFi signal, packet loss). For the best quality connection we recommend all participants have a bare minimum of 1 Mbps upload and download bandwidth, more is always better, and connect via ethernet cable, as WiFi is prone to interference resulting in drop outs. Audio drop outs can also be hardware related, for example if there is a clocking issue with your audio device it could result in drop outs in the audio, or if the buffer size is too low this can also happen. If you have more questions please contact support@source-elements.com and we would be happy to help.
The short and simple answer is quality and control. Source-Nexus prioritizes audio quality and user control over the autopilot nature of general meeting platforms. Try it out!
Hi I registered for the 14 day free trial but when I click the Start Session button, it's asking for a Passkey but I'm not sure where to locate the passkey the software is asking for?
@cheekoadams212 sounds like you are signing in a Guest - to avoid this, always click on the Source-Nexus login link from the Dashboard, or just click on the Host tab when entering the Gateway
Thanks for the requirements: as of today after 90 minutes the recording will stop and download to your computer desktop. You would need to press Record again to start a new one. We're looking into other solutions for you, hang tight!
Hi - you said post questions here - so I am! How do I route this into Pro Tools? Can I use Source Nexus i/o like I could in Source Connect Now? Really hope I get a reply as I feel like I keep having to buy new stuff from you - and having full Source Connect Pro, and now Source Nexus i/o I would really love to be able to use this free version with the stuff I have already invested in with you!
Hi Wendy! Yes, it sounds like you're setup to have a great experience with the Source-Nexus Gateway. You can use Nexus I/O as input/output devices from the Gateway, just like you used to be able to with Source-Connect Now, and if you are a Source-Nexus subscriber already, then you have access to all the premium features of Nexus Gateway. Thanks for reaching out - let us know if you have any issues!

@@judiper1 Hey Judy - I have been able to make it work via my old template for Source Connect Now - did you used to use Source Connect Now in this way? If so you previous DAW setup should work. I had some issues because whilst Source Nexus Free will technically work with any browser now, not just Chrome - I found I could get setup - and then there were monitoring issues for my guests.... And the next time I setup my browser said "Host has to be in Chrome"!? So - I advise using Chrome despite what Source Elements have said. Hope that helps! And yes - I think Source Elements could be a bit more helpful providing basic templates/DAW advice for us. There are a lot of assumptions made in these videos, they are often not very user friendly - certainly for someone like me who is not a professional audio engineer, but who uses Source Elements software for professional work!
Will this be finally suitable for Voice Acting directed sessions? As it stands now, practically every audition specs read, "Must have Source Connect STANDARD...NOT Source Connect NOW."
Hi @SeattleBurns, the short answer is No. Please see our comprehensive guide on this topic here. support.source-elements.com/source-nexus-suite/how-does-source-nexus-gateway-compare-with-source-connect-standard
Thanks for the feedback! I was too excited to publish this one and missed it. 😜 Had a bunch of instruments in standby for a different demo and they folded into my narration track. ~Ross
How does Source-Nexus Free compare with Source Connect Standard? Is Source-Nexus Free compatible with a session hosted by someone using Source Connect?
Hi @johnskovmand8497 check out our comprehensive info on this topic we have here for you! support.source-elements.com/source-nexus-suite/how-does-source-nexus-gateway-compare-with-source-connect-standard
Hi! Here's a question: I understand that if I'm using Source-Nexus Suite my guests don't need a Source Elements account to connect with me and can join Source-Nexus Gateway sessions for free. But if I'm using Source-Connect Standard? Will they be able to access it for free? Or do they need to have a subscription to Source Connect Standard as well?
Hello SE, I do not see a "Max Audio Bitrate" setting like you showed in the video. Also, are you able to select the output of Protools and send that to Source-Nexus Free?
@lennysound good news! This will now be available for you in all regions. Please try again. To route to Pro Tools you will need a virtual driver such as Source-Nexus I/O. We'll discuss all of this in the webinar next week on February 20th, don't miss it!
At this time Source-Nexus doesn't have a built-in method to automatically transfer recordings: you'd need to transfer these yourselves at this time. We do recommend that you use a desktop recorder to ensure accuracy and avoid loss in case of closing the browser tab etc.
Hi I am a voice actor in the UK and a studio in the US want to do a voice over session with me. They have said they are happy to use source nexus . They want me to be able to record to picture and have zoom running for visual and Source connect for audio simultaneously. In order to get the video will I need to apply for the free 15 day trial or will that be via the zoom link? They will be running the session from the US and want 2 hours so will I have to do anything my side to keep session to 2 hours? I have wifi will I need to use an ethernet cable?
@margaretashkey275 sounds like you can work with Source-Nexus Free, you don't need video as that will be covered by Zoom. We do recommend ethernet where possible as it greatly improves the audio quality when streaming.
I'm a TV commercial voice over talent. If I'm using the free version and join my studio host engineer with paid version, can I see video the host play on the interface screen during the recording session? The engineer told me yes, but just want to confirm that. I just purchased the S-C Standard. It seems the S-N Free is even better for me with video reference.
Hi @andrewjou9835, we discussed this exact topic in our webinar. Short answer: Source-Connect is designed for recording, while Source-Nexus is not. We had a great webinar on this last week, at 19 minutes and 15 seconds this topic starts, hope it helps cover your questions. th-cam.com/video/T41nl48OtEQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SourceElements Also see support.source-elements.com/source-nexus-suite/how-does-source-nexus-gateway-compare-with-source-connect-standard
@voiceactorRU - controls are available on Hover, just put your mouse over the participant you want to change the volume for. As a Host you can also force-mute a guest.
How much is the Pro subscription? The website is still confusing about all the different products

Folllow-up question! Until a change is in place, are we notified on screen or with an audible queue when the 90 minutes runs out?
@@BungleTech Yes there is a visible timer count-down on the Recorder element

Why Mono only?

How many people can you have in the paid version?
At this stage also 5. We'll be making it possible to have additional participants in the future.
