Idea: a latency-proof remote music loop machine

💡🤯 idea: virtual collaborative loop machine 🎶🔄 This would allow people to create music together remotely, without the latency issue. Your input gets time-sync'd locally, and others only hear it once it's fully uploaded. I think this would be 🔥, esp now but also after covid

I think there's a huge market for this, and it'd be very easy to have a free version & a pro version (more tracks, more collaborators, higher res, export, effects, livestreaming, etc) Not easy to build, technically though. x.com/Malcolm_Ocean/…

New even simpler sing-together-online idea: 🗣️🎙️ rounds/canons 🔄 🎶 Count each person in at ~same time w metronome, then digitally sync the parts up with appropriate *increased* delay so measures line up perfectly. Can sing continuously together, live. twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/…

This video talks about physics limitations (speed of light matters!) a software tool called JackTrip that allows live music improvisation up to 500km apart, depending on the internet quality! And the comments have other suggestions. youtube.com/watch?v=Sj6Ij1…
