Online Music Collaboration Links & Information (please contribute)
Hi,
Is anyone out there successfully collaborating on songs online? If so, please let us know how. As I learn of web sites that facilitate collaboration, I'll try to add them to the list below in this top post so people can use it as a resource. Here's a list of online music collaboration sites assembled so far:
1 International Music Collaboration Web Ring
One of the sites posted by crankz1 had a link to a web ring for online music collaboration. There are about half a dozen links on there, some of which are collaboration facilitation site (also listed below) and others are web sites of individuals who are into online collaboration. Here's a link:
http://echoprojectstudio.com/ringmaker.php
2 Collaboration Central
http://www.artistcollaboration.com/
One of the original Collaboration Sites on the net! We offer free FTP space for users to share files, and free radio rotation for finished collabs... This one seems to be pretty well-established. Thanks to crankz1!
3 The Recording Project
http://www.recordingproject.com/bbs/index.php
This one also seems to be well-established, and one positive note is that the web site is a BBS very similar to this one, so Home Recording BBS users should have an easy time driving around. Thanks again to crankz1.
4 Echo Project Studio
http://echoprojectstudio.org/
A pretty basic looking site, but it seems to work for the people that use it.
5 F-Jam Online
http://fjam.zapto.org/forums/portal.php
Online Collaboration Studio Site. Has onsite servers (FTP, http & e-mail/webmail). Also runs a streaming radio station to show off finished tracks.
6 SimplexMax Studios
http://www.freewebs.com/simplexmax/
A Music collaboration studio where independent musicians can submit songs, or contributions to our unfinished songs, and earn royalties (this was the text on the web ring - I'm not sure sure about the "royalties" part, but who knows?)
7 My Virtual Band
Here's a beta site that I found that seems designed for the purpose (anybody using it?):
http://www.myvirtualband.com/
8 CCMixter
And here's another site more for the beatmeisters out there that I think has a very novel design. It's more about free and open sampling & recycling rather than collaboration right now, but I did see evidence that people are using the site to work together on projects, so I'm listing it.:
http://www.ccmixter.org/
Any other sites? Please send them to me
Any other approaches being used successfully? Some ideas:
- emailing tracks (using lossless compression software to keep sizes down as much as possible)
- store & share tracks using "free" or rented online disk, such as offered by the following list: http://www.freewebspace.net/guide/diskstorage.shtml
- if one person had a web server and could open an FTP area up that'd work similar to the point above (one reply to this post confirmed that this approach is successfully in use by members of the forum)
- mailing CDR's back and forth
What else? I'm interested in figuring this out, and I'd bet some of you are as well. Maybe we get some options & recommendations together, and put the information on a sticky if it seems worthy.
Peace.
