Hey, One of my clients, Heath from St. Louis MI. USA, and I have just completed a realtime mixing session over the internet. He mailed me a HDD with 12 songs that need to be mixed and mastered. I live a couple states North in Minneapolis, MN where my business partners and I have been running our commercial recording studio for 20 years. Heath was in a motel room in Boston, Massachusetts listening to a live Ogg Vorbis stream from the stereo master output of my mixing consol on a Windows laptop using Winamp. Here's a short snippet from our conversation: <heath> yeah. can i hear the back vox up a little more? <rparker> sure ... <heath> going into the solo the lead gtr can probably come through more still. unless you think it crowds it <rparker> one sec <heath> i'm happy with the vox This is a JACKD, Ardour session using Icecast and the oddcastv3-jack module to realtime stream the session onto the internet over a DSL connection. When Heath requests a change, I make the mix moves, he hears the results and confirms whether or not they are acceptable. We're using IRC for the live chat. This is a commercial session and Heath is paying me to work on his band's music. Technical problems or excuses of any kind are unaccpetable. On the server side, at the studio, the setup is peforming rock solid without any technical problems. I don't know about anyone else but for an old dawg like me Linux Audio is great stuff. A big thank you to the developers and users. Ron Parker Mirror Image Studios 2428 Dupont Ave. S. Minneapolis, MN 55405 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
