The workflow difference
LANDR describes inserting its plugin on the master bus to share DAW audio in a video session. Its published requirements include Mac and Windows plugin formats. Playback’s sender runs on macOS, with browser listening available without a listener account or plugin.
For a lesson or remote production session where video and music need to share one environment, examine LANDR Sessions. For an existing call where the client needs a separate stereo mix feed, compare Playback’s invitation and listening steps.
SESSION™ Playback at a glance
- Price
- $9.99 a month or $59 a year
- Requirements
- macOS 14.2 or later on Intel or Apple silicon. AU, VST3 and AAX sender plugins. A sender subscription is required; browser listeners are free.
- Input and setup
- Insert Playback Send on the stereo bus, choose the quality before starting, and share the listening link. A browser listener opens the link and presses play without creating an account or installing a plugin.
- Working with it
- Use the stream for listening and mix review, with a separate call for conversation. Playback Receive provides a native receiving route. Review the device and quality requirements before choosing the stream format.
- Before the session
- Up to five simultaneous listeners, with lower limits for the highest Studio formats. Each subscription includes 200 GB per monthly anniversary, counting delivery to each listener. Unused delivery does not roll over; streaming stops at the allowance until reset, without automatic overage charges.

Questions before choosing
Does LANDR Sessions support a Windows sender?
