After revealing the link to the NIN Garageband format track the other day, DriverChris has emailled me over a little composition of his own complete with his own banjo noodlings!
When I get time off from tweaking my webpages and surfing xTube, I will try to add to it and then email it back.
My idea was that with a little effort, you should be able to bounce a track back and forth for other people to collaborate on, add tracks and share ideas.
Turns out, that there is already a website that provides this function: Kompoz
I have’nt looked into the full how-and-why it works stuff, but it looks like you can upload partial tracks and people and add extra stuff and post it back for acceptance. The tracks can be in which ever format you see fit. But that does’nt explain how someone using a different OS could update it and pass it back.
Looks cool. Might give it a go.
Well, it's not a giant lizard slaying robot and its not a new religion.

I’ve seen this KOMPOZ site too! Me and my ex-rock star buddy Jan the Fisherman (as seen on Discovery Channel) do that McCartney/Wonder thing by creating music in Stratford and Nottingham and swapping it and adding to it. We DON’T use KOMPOZ - we use CDs in the post! (keeps me in work!) and LOGIC software (except he uses a BOSS BR600 which is incompatible - it’s a long story!)
The KOMPOZ site talks about swapping LOGIC data (Tracks and Timings) but when you look harder - they really talk about bounces - which of course you can’t easily break down in to components again.
Anyway - I reckon we’ll start using VPN to do the swapping soon - when my employer finally kicks me out.
Did you understand all that? OK - can you explain it to me?
No.
But have a look here for information on more online tools:
