Using VNC (Virtual Network Computing) for remote mixing allows you to remotely control a computer connected to your digital mixer. If you use DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software on your host computer, using VNC will give you full access to all the software’s features and capabilities. This method offers an authentic mixing experience, but it does come with some challenges—like potential latency, high bandwidth usage, and the need for a stable connection to maintain control.

Splashtop VNC is more convenient than VPN because it eliminates one extra step to set up a VPN network to connect a host computer and remote computer.
