  1. ‘An evaluation of emergent technologies and practices in relation to real-time online remote record production’

  2. Overview • The ability to direct / record / produce artists online in real-time • Controlled locally with a seamless interface • Producer / artist relationship should be identical to ‘same room’ situation

  3. Overview • Ultimate goal is to establish whether online can ever achieve the same results as traditional approach

  4. Overview • Online real-time production – is it possible? • Challenges include….. • Technical • Control • Communications

  5. Some initial considerations... • The producer / artist relationship • For optimal conditions re the creative process this process cannot allow for any aspect of the interface to introduce any distraction / disruption

  6. Why? • Artists • Restrictions of locality removed • Opens up endless new opportunities • Reduces cost – travel, accommodation etc • Reduces impact on the environment • Scale becomes irrelevant

  7. Why? • Studios • Restrictions of locality removed • Opens up endless new opportunities • Reduces cost / environmental impact • Opens up valuable new income stream

  8. Why? • Producers / engineers • Restrictions of locality removed • Opens up endless new opportunities • Reduces cost / environmental impact • Can engage in more work – eg pre-production

  9. How? • Remote control • Producer assumes control of recording environment using dedicated software such as Team Viewer, Logmein etc

  10. How? • Effective practice • Software is local to producer or artist? • Data storage / transfer? • Latency?

  11. How? • Communication • Video • Audio

  12. Options Producer ( X ) Artist ( Y ) Remote Control of Y DAW hosted remotely Input recorded to PT at Y Output monitored at X Audio files sent to X for mixing later?

  13. Options Producer ( X ) Artist ( Y ) Remote Control of Y DAW hosted locally Input recorded to PT Output monitored and recorded at X

  14. Examples…. • Digital Musician Network • OHM Studio Beta • Source Connect v ISDN • Audio TX

  15. Mono, stereo, multi-track? • All current examples appear to favour one of the above formats • Will increased speed/bandwidth/reliability develop to a point where true multitrack recording can be carried out without problems? • Only simpler formats may be possible for now with hybrid scenarios?

  16. Research process • Review current techniques • Establish ‘best’ template for studio model production • Create tests to establish effective working patterns

  17. Research process • Major challenge will be shifting goalposts! • A rapidly changing and developing process
