Collabing; how to?
View this Thread in Original format

Hi there,

If was asking myself the following. If you wish to collab with someone who's not your nextdoor neighbour, how would you do that?
Say for instance, are you sending back and forth a project file? But what if the other uses a different sequencer?

Does anyone has experience with this?

And what about using a singer in the track, do you send a copy of the track to the singer and they record the vocals, or do you fly in the singer?

I also heard of a program on which you can, realtime, work on a track with someone else on the otherside of the world. Does anyone has experience in this?

I would like to know this because I think it would be great to collab with someone on the forum, if interested let me know!

If you are using the same DAW its very easy just send RAR files containing project file and samples back and forth.

and if not you can send wavs and midis...or any other unified format.

Absolutely, WAVs, MIDIs and a lot of clear communication. Using the same DAW and plugins would help, but I can imagine in most cases the full WAV multitracks would be sent anyway, so it wouldn't cut down on the data needing to be sent. If you're using only softsynths then it'd be quite different.

There are many options really. Where there's a will there's a way. I've heard of that real-time collab thing though (I've heard of real-time "jamming" software for musicians to play together, but also production software...or maybe it's simply a computer sharing software over the internet, rather than a particular program...that would be very handy, being able to see someone else's project in a different DAW and make adjustments...)

My dream is to one day be able to do this over the net with Ableton Live and a partner that has Live. Would be the best, and I would really never leave home then!

Best DAW for collabing is reason easily. But i have a good friend in south florida who i work with on songs, we both use FL, but before we started we made sure we had all the same stuff, and we made ourselves an ftp that we post all the files on.

I was teaching a freind how to make combinators in reason by remote controlling his pc

With this program you can connect to a persons pc who also has the program running you can control their desktop and they also have control when you stop moving the mouse its freaky sometimes lol.

No sound though so unless your on the phone or skype or something it is not ideal but if someone knows a similar program with sound that would be good!
