ibreakemineedtobuildem Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Is there any software that allows you to have a band practice over the net?Where you all can be in different places at once,not a stream of your band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorecki Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Not that I'm aware of. The things that are generally available are only half duplex meaning, sound only travels one direction at a time. Granted, it wouldn't be rocket science to create a full duplex streaming package but the fidelity would have to be fairly low for bandwidth variants.

GregP Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 It's been tried before. There used to be the Rockit network (I believe that's what it was called). Bandwidth isn't even a problem so much as network latency, which is a problem that isn't likely to be solved any time soon. Even a MIDI jam is impossible in realtime right now. Those TV commercials they had out a while ago were a big fat lie. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feylya Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 The latency is too high. You'd be lucky to be 20ms off. You'd more likely be 200 ms off the beat. It'd just be a big mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxslipknot Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) as a matter of fact it is possible, but as said by others latency is bad, specially when the software youre using is only meant for comunication, but i get 3.9mbps and i pulled it off with a friend all i did was run the server on my own computer, to get an edge, at least a 50% improvement http://www.goteamspeak.com its what i use to talk over the internet to my fellow gamers, we like to keep strategy at an all time high Edited June 30, 2005 by maxxslipknot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedoctor Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Real-time jamming will always have a bit of delay but the older, CD or even multitrack to hard drive system is still used by a lot of folk who can't get together, physically, to practice or work on new stuff. Eckret Studios in Iowa does a lot of this for some fairly major bands. Everyone gets two or four channels to put in different takes of their contribution and the others in the group get to do der thing, saving what they like and sending it back to the others for review/critique. Cds take days to get updates. The multitrack downloading can get someone's new licks to ya in about twice the song's length. I know, it isn't really jamming but it is as close as you can get without latency and poor audio. IMHO but don't let it get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
