I did a 90 minute rehearsal yesterday with Dave Milligan yesterday. I was in Glasgow and he was in Edinburgh and we played completely in sync. It’s using an app / plugin called Elk. You need to try it! I’ve only tried it with 2 musicians but I imagine there’s not stopping a band rehearsing in different places. Check it out! You can download it here.
Here’s some info from their About page.
So, we’re a company called Elk. A team of music lovers, from violin makers and python magicians to computer PhDs and music producers.
We’re based in Stockholm, but most of us work from wherever they are.
At the core of what we do is an OS for processing the audio called Elk Audio OS, the fastest audio OS on the planet. On top of this, we’ve built a software for musicians to play live over the internet. But that wasn’t enough, so we released a plugin to let music creators record each other in real time from a distance straight from their favorites Digital Audio Workstations.
We’re so happy for what it enables – more spontaneous musical moments, less need for traveling, and more possibilities to produce music with anyone in the world.
