It’s amazing to see a company like Indabamusic.com, Kompoz.com, and Ninjam.com (just to name a few) creating a means for musicians all over to work together. Some of these sites incorporate live recording, while others let users bounce their tracks back and forth. Also audio apps such as Pro Tools even has plugins that can connect sessions.
Musicians like The Postal Service have been doing this the old fashioned way (I hear that’s how they got their name) for quite sometime. But to have that at your fingertips is simply awesome. I urge all musicians to embrace these technologies to at least learn from one another. It’s amazing what happens when you take one guitar line and hand it to five different drummers. The results can be astounding.
So go out there and log in to the service of your choice and begin working with people all over the world. And if you need help setting your levels or anything at all feel free to email me rmozek@placidsound.com
