Gramrphone and Maestro are coming together to help music creators earn more money, control their content, and deliver incredible live streams to fans worldwide. Combining a high-quality streaming encoder from Gramrphone with a best-in-class video solution from Maestro, creators can deliver elevated streaming experiences to audiences from their own website and multi-steam to platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, and more. 

Let’s explore everything you need to know about this exciting new partnership!

What is Gramrphone?

Gramrphone is a free all-in-one live streaming encoder built for DJs, musicians, and producers. It includes all the technical components needed to capture and live stream high-quality audio and video directly from your DAW, DJ Software, or desktop straight to platforms, including Maestro, without any buffering or performance issues. 

As music creators themselves, the Gramrphone team recognized that existing live streaming encoders such as OBS Studio and Streamlabs catered far more to streamers and gamers. 

Musicians often have complex setups and specialist equipment designed to create pristine audio, and Gramrphone is designed to support these audio-focused setups.

Maestro x Gramrphone: The Purpose

As virtual events carried out by live streams have risen in prominence, musicians have turned to Gramrphone as the encoding tool of choice to deliver high-quality live performances, listening parties, and studio sessions. 

Many of these virtual events are hosted on large social platforms, like YouTube or Twitch, where viewership and monetization are controlled by the platforms, not the creators. 

Now, DJs, musicians, and producers can deliver high-quality streaming while taking charge of their content, layering in interactivity, and adding monetization by using Gramrphone and Maestro together. Plus, music creators can multi-stream to Twitch, YouTube, and now, their own website, which means they can create a direct relationship with their superfans and build a new revenue stream.
