Re: Long distance Music



Michael - another musician Daryl Shawn, living 4000 miles away from me (Brooklyn NY) who I met through Loopers... and I have been successfully recording via NinJam doing almost every weekend every month since last October.  The meeting/working/creating led to forming a duo we are successfully marketing and planning "live" times called Chinapainting.  We've produced two CD's from this effort all from NinJam.  I would encourage whatever you're thinking of working on doing it live via NinJam, there is some slight delay that you adapt to and it's really amazing.
 
Best with it

I have been involved in a couple of long-distance projects.  In both
cases, the music was rhythmic/traditional (that is, not free-form) -
thus tuning and tempo were important.

In both cases I was adding a theremin track.  I requested two mp3's --
identical except that one of them included a cue track with my part --
I learned the part "by ear" from the version-with-cue but found it
easier, when time to lay down my track, to listen to the
version-without-cue.  I set my track's start and end points to be
identical with the supplied track to simplify syncing/mixdown on the
other end.  I recorded my tracks "dry" (no reverb or fx).

I sent mp3 files at first for approval -- and when the person on the
other end said that the tracks were ok, I zipped a .wav file, uploaded
it to my website, and then emailed the url of the zip to the person.

I have heard a little about real-time online collaboration however I
have no information about it.
