What I was suggesting was not really "real-time" collaboration, though. More like "here, I got this mono track of some drum loops that I think accentuate the theme nicely - see what you can do with them", then I take a listen, and composite some nice noisy synth sounds over them. This is the type of collaboration I am talking about. So, you have basically "Source Tracks" and "Composites" where source tracks have a particular author, and composite tracks have a group of authors. Once "Composites" are in a state everyone likes, they could then become "Source" tracks providing a platform to build from. Eventually the composition gets to the point where it cannot progress further, everyone is happy and it is marked "Final". Then it could be reviewed and what not, showed off to friends, burned to a CD, have graphics added, whatever. Basically an iterative process to making music, just not with people in the same room =) There is an alternative method > where people are physically in the same location, you know :-) > > Larry -- Levi Burton http://www.puresimplicity.net/~ldb/
