iPhone
New in 1.1: a complete redesign. A true dB meter with peak hold, a clearer compressor, and a calmer look. Your mic or interface, live in your Ableton Link session.
Your iPhone, live in the session.
Link Audio Bridge streams your iPhone's microphone, or any audio interface you plug in, straight into an Ableton Link session over your local network. It's metered, compressed and locked to the shared tempo. No cables to the computer and no account.
STREAM
• Send mono or stereo audio to Ableton Live, or any Link peer that supports Link Audio, over Wi-Fi
• Pick any connected input: built-in mic, USB interface or headset
• Watch it the whole way with a stereo input meter on a true dB scale, with peak hold
SHAPE
• A compressor built in, so the signal is under control before it leaves the phone
• Threshold, ratio, attack, release and make-up gain
• A live gain reduction meter shows exactly how hard it's working
• Your settings are remembered between sessions
SYNC
• Locked to Link: shared tempo and beat position with every peer on the network
• Start and stop the Link transport from the phone
• A Link-synced click on the phone to play along to
• MIDI clock out, with start and stop, to keep other MIDI gear and apps in time
WHAT YOU NEED
• Ableton Live 12.4 or later, or another compatible Link peer
• Your iPhone and computer on the same local network

The click only plays through the phone's own speaker or headphones and isn't sent into the stream, so the copy doesn't say it reaches Live.
Ratings & Reviews

Link Audio Bridge 1.1 is a complete visual redesign.
• A new look: a darker, calmer interface with a clean monospaced typeface, finer lines and clearer status colours
• A rebuilt input meter on a true decibel scale, so the scale markings match what you hear
• Peak hold: the meter now marks and shows your loudest recent level, so clipping is easy to spot
• Smoother meter movement, with a fast attack and a gentle release
• A clearer compressor panel
• A "Link settings" button that's always visible
• A new app icon and launch screen, with no more black flash on launch
• Controls no longer sit too close to the home indicator
• The compressor panel doesn't slide in when Reduce Motion is turned on
Audio streaming and Ableton Link sync work exactly as before.
