Looks quite interesting... Fender have launched an online music collaboration system.

Official blurb: -

"Fender has announced a partnership with eJamming Inc., highlighted by their breakthrough software technology, eJamming® AUDiiO.

eJamming AUDiiO provides patented synchronized streaming live audio over the Internet in real time, enabling musicians and singers anywhere in the world to create, play and record together live and online, while experiencing no discernible latency on their instruments.

interesting....I'll wait for more comments on here ,to see if it's worth doing.

A very interesting idea. As with Ray might hold fire, but I still think it's a really innovative idea. (someone's now going to say it's already being done somewhere else on the net ).

I read about that Guitarist magazine (aka the Fender catalogue), looks like a great idea. I'm definitely going to have a look at it.

I found the Guitarist piece and it says that E-Jamming's subscription based with a 30 day trial. After the trial it's $9.95 a month, $24.95 quarterly or $89.50 a year.

I remember someone telling me that they write and collaborate with their band with a product that exists already - but for the life of me can't remember what it is. As it happens, It's something I have been meaning to look in to it myself for my band - given the 5400miles between me and my drummer!!!

IIRC I *think* the person I spoke to said they have played a gig together using the software in 'Second Life' - but that might be me making it up in my mind!! Poor old grey cells they're not what they....


shall I put the kettle on?


oooh.. I'll put the kettle on...

I like the idea, and for jamming with random people would be quite good, but for long-distance practising with your band could get pretty expensive!!
