RemSound is a Windows program that sends live sound from one computer to another, with very little delay. Picture a private audio link between two or more computers: each one decides what sound it wants to send and what sound it wants to play, and the audio travels straight between them over your network.
-It was built for playing music together over the internet — a guitarist on one computer and a singer on another, hearing each other in real time — but it works just as well for listening to one room from another room in your house, co-hosting a podcast, or anything else where you want to get sound from one PC to another, fast.
+I built RemSound to solve a specific problem of my own. I do a lot of work on a powerful computer that I control remotely from a lighter machine, and I wanted to actually hear that powerful machine's audio on the laptop in front of me. There are other programs that can move sound between PCs, but none of them did it quite the way I wanted, so I made my own. It turns out the same thing is just as handy for listening to one room from another room in your house, playing music together over the internet with very little delay, co-hosting a podcast, or anything else where you want to get sound from one PC to another, fast.

-RemSound is for musicians, sound designers, podcasters, and anyone else who wants to share audio between two Windows machines with as little delay as possible.
+RemSound is for anyone who wants to get live audio from one Windows PC to another with as little delay as possible — listening to one machine while you work at another, playing music together over the internet, co-hosting a podcast, and plenty more besides.
You sit at one computer, RemSound captures whatever is playing — a track in your music software, a video call, system sound from anything else running — and sends it cleanly to another computer where it plays through speakers or headphones in real time. The person at the other end hears what you're hearing, with a delay measured in milliseconds rather than seconds.

## Who made this
-RemSound was built by a sound designer who wanted to listen to one of his computers while sitting at another, and couldn't find anything else that fit the bill. It's free, open-source, and yours to use however you like.
