Heads up: Windows will warn that this app is from an unknown publisher.
That's normal for new apps without a paid EV certificate. When you see “Windows protected your PC”, click More info → Run anyway. Full explanation below.
How to install
- 1
Download & unzip
The download is a ZIP file. Open it and extract SoundAssistConnect-Setup.exe to your desktop or Downloads folder.
- 2
Run the installer
Double-click the .exe. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway. SoundAssist Connect appears in your Start menu when done.
- 3
Pick what to stream
Open the app and start a session. Pick the application you want to capture - your DAW, Tidal, Traktor, your browser, anything that makes sound. Per-app capture is recommended over capturing your whole soundcard, which can echo back into the room.
- 4
Share the link
Connect generates a room code and a shareable link. Your listener opens it in any browser - no install needed on their end.
- 5
Hit play
Press Play in whatever app you picked. Your listener hears it within a second, at full quality. Chat and video run alongside in the web app.
More than streaming
Connect is the full SoundAssist desktop client. Everything the web app does, in a native window with drag-and-drop, native notifications, and offline-friendly caching:
My Tracks
Your masters and works-in-progress, ready to play or share.
My Files
Attachments, references, and stems organised per client.
Inbox
DMs and feedback threads from collaborators and clients.
Livefeed
Real-time activity from people you follow and groups you're in.
Groups
Shared spaces for releases, collectives, and label rosters.
Drag-and-drop uploads
Drop audio straight from Explorer into your archive.
Why does Windows warn me?
Windows SmartScreen warns about apps from publishers it doesn't recognize yet. SoundAssist Connect is a brand-new app from a small company, so it hasn't built up the install-history that Microsoft's reputation system uses to whitelist apps automatically.
The fastest way to silence the warning is to buy an EV code-signing certificate, which costs around $400 per year and requires a hardware key shipped to the company address. We're a young product and chose to put that budget into audio quality and uptime first. Once enough engineers install and run Connect without flagging it, SmartScreen lifts the warning on its own.
The installer is safe.
- Built and uploaded by SoundAssist directly - no third-party redistributors.
- Auto-updates are cryptographically signed (minisign) and verified by the app before installing.
- The source repository is private but auditable on request - email us if your IT team needs a copy.
If your IT policy blocks unsigned executables entirely, contact support@soundassist.online - we can arrange a signed build for enterprise users.
System requirements
- Windows 10 (build 20348+) or Windows 11, 64-bit
- Streams from any app: DAWs (Ableton, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Cubase, Reaper), DJ software (Traktor, Serato, Rekordbox), Tidal, Spotify, browsers, anything that makes sound
- Internet connection (25 Mbps upload recommended for live sessions)
