[linux-audio-user] networked collaborative audio systems

[Ivica Bukvic]

Hi,

I've worked with Mara Helmuth on a Soundmesh project (formerly known as
Internet Sound Exchange). It utilizes hacked version of RTcmix and our
added netplay functionality. I've also built visual front-end in Qt (my
part was Linux port). I've been meaning to post it on my website, but
been too busy lately working on RTMix :-) (which now also utilizes OSC
protocol and acts as a MIDI server, router, as well as network server
for up to 256 of other RTMix clients -- this one is already available on
my site if you want to look at it, but the version posted there still
doesn't have OSC implemented; I will post it as soon as I iron a couple
of bugs out). If you want to look at it [Soundmesh] I will post it as
soon as possible. It is basically a protocol of sending uncompressed
audio data via network in order to utilize fast university Internet2
connections (so this might not be very usable for non-LAN settings in
home environments). Past experiences enabled us to have live improve
sessions at CD-quality between ourselves, east, and west coast colleges
(Columbia, CCM, someone in LA, can't remember who etc.).

Apologies for garbled message, don't have the time to proofread it :-).
Anyhow, hope this might help! Sincerely,

Ivica Ico Bukvic, composer, multimedia sculptor,
