The problems with remote casts are not just audio ones, but yes, you can do good point-to-point audio. Very few people do.
I've looked at Cleanfeed and it looks like a really cool beta product, but it doesn't feel like the product appreciates how existing audio stacks and production flows work. And that's not entirely Cleanfeed's fault, because there are browser limitations, but at the same time the browser is not a good audio production platform (only Chrome seems to recognize the existence of multi-track audio devices, and that seems to be more of a "here's a 5.1 surround sound system") and that's a problem too. Like: I run a US-16x08 locally. It has eight mikes and eight line-ins. Cleanfeed (and this is probably Chrome) gets confused and says there's no microphone unless I go into Chrome's settings and force-pick the US-16x08, and then it just gives you mic one? It's mixing down the remote, too, so I just get back a single audio stream. This isn't acceptable; I 100% need to feed this into my mixer, not just splat out the audio. If I just wanted to mix down, Discord provides acceptable-not-great audio quality (and it appears there's probably a way, if one is a wizard, to rip audio streams out of it separately and push them through something like Soundflower).
If Cleanfeed was a local server that connected to you guys and had VSTs I could drop on instrument tracks in Logic to get individual voices out, I would pay you nontrivial money for that.
Also, video is pretty important. If Cleanfeed supported video at a size/quality that I could cap it out of a browser window I'd probably pay for it despite having to rework everything else; that would be a killer-app feature to compete with vMix Call.
Feel free to ping me offline if you'd like to chat--my email is in my profile. I think Cleanfeed has potential and I'd be happy to talk about this more in-depth.
