You have a few cables to plug in, then it’s just a matter of logging into the Elk Live Studio site, checking your levels on the mixer screen and making sure everyone is on the call. You plug your instrument and/or mic (plus headphones) into the front of the unit, a super-speedy Ethernet cable whizzes the signal straight to your router, and it’s all controlled by a lightweight piece of in-browser software whose main job is to stay out of the way.Ĭompared to the usual band practice setup – all the way from hauling your gear into the rehearsal room to reminding the drummer how to count to four – getting started with the Elk system is pretty quick. There are already apps around that make claims of this kind, but Elk’s idea is to cut out all the middlemen, not just one. This is Elk Live, a system using a combined audio interface and internet bridge to offer the promise of latency-free online musical collaboration – so it should sound and feel like you’re all in the same room even if you’re miles apart.
