Raveta, which specializes in collaboration solutions, has launched Audio Fabric, a service that enables musicians to play together live over the Internet using any type of instrument-acoustic, electric, MIDI, or voice. Musicians in different locations can play together as if they are in the same room using their ordinary broadband Internet connections.
Audio Fabric also enables musicians to find each other, record their sessions, store sessions in a band archive, and more. You can download the Mac OS X compatible Audio Fabric Desktop here. The patent-pending technology in Audio Fabric Desktop locates the participants for a session, synchronizes their sounds, and delivers the signal to all the collaborators with extremely low latency, says Rik Frost, director of business development for Raveta. All users can record their sessions, import the sessions into music editing software, participate in an unlimited number of groups, and invite other musicians to join the Groups they create. Users can also take advantage of the web site features, such as store session files, download music files, and utilize the calendaring and message forums for communications within their groups.
Audio Fabric Desktop is available in two versions. The Silver Audio Fabric Desktop is free. The Gold Audio Fabric Desktop, available for a monthly fee, allows more collaborators in a session and better quality sound.
