Greetings,
I was just curious if anyone on the list has attempted to collaborate
musicly? By "collaborate" I mean sharing of things such as "tracks"
of
audio (I would assume this is the prefered method, unless MIDI is
utilized and everyone has the same hardware - doubtfull).
I would think this sort of thing would be easy. Simply decide on a
musical theme (mood, BPM, etc etc), and have at it.
Well, it would be easy until bandwidth and resources are considered. 44.1
audio would be consume massive resources as far as storage and transfers
are concerned. Perhaps a bad idea. Maybe not, though, if audio data can
be organized in chunks and looped. Another possibility is utilizing Sound
Fonts and MIDI - this would reduce the need for large audio files (you
would only need a large Sound Font).
Just "thinking out loud" =)
Now I see. I was wondering what the fuss was about. I think by collaborate,
you mean "collaborate through the internet". There is an alternative method
where people are physically in the same location, you know :-)
