Default Beatconnect - collaboration tool

Just saw this in Point Blank Music Schools channel:



Seems like an ideal tool for collaborations! Hopefully they get MIDI integrated fast!

Hey, I've actually been using this since February!

I spoke about it/showed it to some others here, and X-raym had felt strong enough to want to share a link to it back then

https://forums.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=2410614

It's really amazing, highly suggest trying it. (Also actively developed/frequent updates)

I posted a video here of doing realtime collab with Beatconnect that also has realtime MIDI collab using a Max4Live device, maybe it's interesting to you:

PS: They have a community discord where the devs/founders are active + will answer your questions here:

GXray and Pink Wool.

If you don't mind me asking, how far apart, geographically, are you from the other participants?

The reason I ask is I live in Hawaii and I have tried a couple of live session systems like this in the past and the latency was always a problem. I contributed that to my location, and possibly the upload speed of my internet connection.

What page are you referring to and what part does say it doesn't include Reaper?

https://www.beatconnect.com/

Their Facebook says: "Access and listen to our music from any DAW or workstation"

I'm left wondering that in what situation would you use a pre-roll on Beatconnect?

Isn't it a tool to share your wav's(mp3's/flacs) over the net and have a common, somewhat real-time, cloud-based "DAW" with very limited options (play, move file etc.)?
