Stream your master
Use it for Discord calls, OBS recordings, remote feedback sessions and screen sharing when normal desktop capture misses ASIO audio.
Free beta utility · Windows VST3 · Created by FreQtik
Route your DAW audio into the stream.
Master Desktop Tap mirrors your DAW master into a selected Windows audio output, so Discord, OBS and screen share can hear your mix without changing your DAW driver.

What it does
One job: make your DAW audible outside the DAW.
Built for Windows producers who can hear their DAW locally, but their call, screen share or recording software receives silence.
Check other outputs fast
Route a copy to another connected device, monitor, HDMI output, USB interface or small speaker without changing your DAW audio driver.
Stay out of the mix
It is not EQ, saturation, compression, loudness or mastering. It is a routing utility for a specific producer workflow problem.
Signal path
DAW driver stays untouched.
Your DAW can keep using ASIO while the plugin opens one selected Windows output device for the mirrored stream copy.
