Blue Cat's Freeceiver is a free plug-in and application that can receive audio or MIDI streams sent over the network by Blue Cat's Connector and Fader Hub in real time.

Working with remote clients? You can send them audio and MIDI in real-time from your DAW without the need for them to acquire a license to our software. Freeceiver is 100% free, like all our free software! Jamming with friends, recording a session or playing a live gig with Fader Hub? Get listeners connected for free with Freeceiver!

Available both as a plug-in and application, it lets you either stream and record into your favorite DAW, or simply play the stream straight into your speakers or headphones on whatever machine that is connected to the network. It is as simple as that!

You can also use it locally on the same machine as Connector or Fader Hub to stream audio from one application to another.
