There have been stabs at server side sequencers for collaborative music creation but none have really been nice enough that I would want to use them. I love the French based Ohm Force plug-ins so maybe the newly announced Ohm Studio will be the one to make this needed concept work. Beyond creation there is a online community aspect. Certainly the video above was done right!
Ohm Studio is a standalone real-time collaborative music making application (DAW/sequencer) in addition to a web based collaboration platform and a music driven online cohmunity. Ohm Studio is a real sequencer. A standalone application for Windows or Mac OS X. Midi editing, envelopes, piano roll, audio effects and virtual instruments: exactly what you’re already used to. But now using all that tools with your friends, online. – ohmstudio.com
No word on pricing. A pure guess is there will be a monthly fee. So do you like? Seem interesting?

Very cool. Hope it actually works. It’s only a matter of time I guess until bandwidth speeds take all the latency problems out of “real time” collaboration on line. I hope this is better than ejamming or ninjam.
Others might also be interested in non-real time based collaboration with sites like http://www.notethrower.com
which adds a licensing model on top of the collaboration aspect. The issue of copyrights has always been a problem for these collaboration sites.
Yeah as usual I think musicians will get the best out of things like this if they leave the notion of making money behind and focus on making music.
it reminds me that the share feature in Live is still not available. anybody got an idea when it will work?
isnt this just the same idea that ableton has done??
Looks cool if it can deliver. Can a browser give you the same experence as a local app? I think so. Can it do it today? maybe, I mean I thought webmail was weak now I think gmail is the greatest client out.
And what kind of STABLE connection are you going to need to have to record stereo 24bit audio? I guess it will be cached locally so its not “real time” but maybe close enough?
I think in time we will see alot more of this if for no other reason then to prevent piracy.
