basehead Connect

A DAW plugin that streams audio from basehead directly into your DAW of choice. Replaces the ancient ReWire — finally.

basehead Connect

Stream up to 2 channels on the Lite Edition, or 16 channels on Standard & Ultra. The plugin is included free with the basehead full installer. (In our testing, REAPER may cap at 12 channels.)

Choose between VST3, AAX, and AU versions during install. Then add the basehead Connect plugin to your DAW — usually under the Other category.

Connecting

Once the plugin is loaded in your DAW, press the B.C. button in the transport section of basehead to connect.

Note: only run one instance of the plugin at a time.

Logic Pro users: the plugin must be loaded on your Master Output. Logic doesn’t currently allow it on an Audio or Aux bus — Source Nexus and similar plugins hit the same wall, so this is a Logic limitation, not a basehead one.
