Just heard about this for the first time. Been in development for a few years apparently.
Looks like its about to get around to beta testing.
Seems real interesting.

Hat STYLE. Not contents.
That looks really cool. Does it just support the 2 users?
I'll probably download it when I get home tonight.

Didn't Cubase used to (maybe it still does?) support collaboration via something called Rocket?

I wonder if it is cross OS compatible? Meaning can I link up with someone using a PC?
Are plugins shared? It looks like it only has support for VST plugins.
Those are the only questions I have ATM, but I signed up for the beta.

I've been beta testing for a few months so if you guys have questions fire away, I'm pretty good with it at the moment.
Some information of the top of my head that may be useful:
1. Recordings/projects are stored on the cloud. When recording with someone my experience with someone from London was that his track showed up about 6-7 mins after he recorded it (a single guitar track).
2. Communication is via AIM type window in lower right hand corner. If you both have the project open at the same time that is.
3. Plugins are VST format, I have found that most work. Waveshell 8 did not however, seems they are still ironing out some things.
4. If you record midi using a VSTi and the other user doesn't have the same library it will show what plugin was used, but obviously since you don't own it the midi plays nothing. Not a big deal if the other user bounces to audio... the problem I ran into is it seems a lot of people were to lazy to bother.
5. Same goes with VST effects, you can use them on a track but if the other person using ohm studio doesn't have it the project will load with the effects shown but not loaded (since they are not there).
6. As far as collaboration goes there is nothing that touches what this does that I have witnessed. You can track drums, and 10-12 mins later they will show up in the other users window for guitars to be added and then that will show up on yet the next users window for bass to be added. I don't think any other type of file swapping, even between the same daw is as fast as this is.
7. Yes this is OS to OS compatible. Doesn't matter if you use windows or OSX.

So can you or can you not actually jam with someone in real time with this?
If we were collabing, would I be able to hear what you're playing as you're playing it?

I don't know much about that stuff, but it seems like you'd have to have a really fast connection for all the samples to transfer fast enough.
Still this seems cool and I'd take a crack at it (even though I registered ten minutes ago and already got spam email from another user).

At least this was free.

Sorry no but this is not possible.
I imagine the lag using even the fastest internetz would still be unbearable.
The reason I said 6-7 and then 10-12 is because drums are more files to upload to the cloud.
