I am a vocalist and pianist and I like to work with friends to help me round out songs that I have floating around in my head. I have always hated the emailing back and forth to do that, so I ended up not doing much collaboration at all. My first question is how do you collaborate with others?

Thanks!

Record, upload files to Dropbox. If someone uses the same DAW, you can send them the whole project folder (which includes all the track files).
 
Soundcloud/dropbox.
I've succesfully collaberated with three other people from this website that way. Yes, it's tedious but I'm buying a plane ticket to the USA to pick up a vocal track. So in relation to that, it's easy.
 
Has anyone used the function in the newest version of Cubase that allows real-time collaboration over the net? I haven't tried it yet but it seems like it could be pretty fun.

that's something I've wanted to try for ages now! I don't know how good it will be
 
I don't know any of these 'real time' collaboration or jam things work - there is an inherent delay in 2-way net communication. No big deal for voice (Skype) but to play along, I don't get it at all. What isthe Cubase thing - it automatically updates the other guy's project as you record on yours?
 
I sit down in a room with another guitar player and a drummer and jam. Or sometimes I play with another player who writes songs. I record him and then embellish the song on my own, and then send it to him to see what he thinks.
 
Pretty sure soundcloud would get you some collaborations!

Steinberg has a video about it, it's calledVST Connect. Looks like there is latency with video but the audio signals are somehow synced up. But yeah, looks like it can go both ways - you can record on someone else's or they can record on yours.
 
I'm surprised more people don't have their own site. They're pretty cheap these days. I just host stuff on my site, on an "un-published" page, which means it's hidden from the public. Then, I just send the link to whoever I'm collobing with.
