Cloud tools for musicians. It's a pain setting up a new environment. So many plugins and libraries etc. Also, version control and backup. All manual.

- ajakate 6y agoI started using https://www.bandlab.com/ https://www.bandlab.com/ soon after lockdown started. It's a collaborative DAW that allows you to record, save, and mix music in the cloud, and even lets you share access and collaborate in real time with others. It was great for sharing ideas with my band when we couldn't really meet up and play in person. It has a few performance/audio syncing issues being in the browser, but for what we use it for it's an amazing tool.
- kreeben 6y agoI once thought about contacting Ableton to offer my assistance in taking their DAW to the cloud so that we can have collaboration, version control and publishing in one place, to sort of marry Ableton Live with Soundcloud. I would love a service like that.
- tunesmith 6y agoeMagic had a great collaborative DAW plugin in 2001 or so, the year or so before they were bought by Apple. You'd be in a shared chatroom with others, where you'd all see the same DAW view, and could play all the tracks. You'd record a new track locally, and then upload it. It was a cool compromise - in most use cases, you didn't necessarily need to record live, you just wanted to work on the shared project at the same time. I haven't seen that nice of a UX since.
