Does CbB have any built-in real time internet session features?

[Billy Zeppa]

With Covid-19 on the rise,  writing,  arranging,  recording,  and mixing music together with others by way of 'virtual presence' has become a necessity for many, and is an important and desirable option for all recording musicians, and latency is not an issue for such tasks.  Like for example, the simple VST plugins that stream audio into and out of one DAW to another across the internet, by simply acting as send and return 'insert' plugins on the audio buses. A few tens of ms. latency doesn't matter.  Does Bandlab have any plans to provide such functions, or have any such thing now?

No, there was a good article is last month's edition on Sound on Sound about various ways this can be achieved though ( not CBB specific )

The VST plug-ins you mention sound like something I could use. Have you tried any of them? If so, any opinions on which ones work well for you, which ones had insufferable latency? Thanks.

Not real time but you can use the BandLab integration within Cakewalk to work on collaborative stuff with others.
Its actually rare that while producing you want to do it actually in real time as opposed to sendin g stuff back and forth. Bandlab supports revisions so its actually quite useful in this regard since it saves prior versions of the project.
