cm What does the ‘online studio’ concept offer the professional producer?
Amped Studio
BB “The mobility of having your projects and sounds available on any computer, anywhere are the obvious benefits. Pro producers often use more than one DAW for specific purposes, and an online DAW can be a complimentary addition for any producer collaborating and in transit. Sketching out and sharing a project as a link that opens the arrangement in your browser is universally accessible.”
cm Amped has come on in leaps and bounds. What were the big challenges?
BB “We started in PNaCl (Portable Native Client Code) for Chrome and then ported over to WASM (Web Assembly) when it was robust enough for an application like Amped Studio. There are some dependencies with the architecture of browser technologies and standardisations that factor into building an audio-intensive web application, and I think we’ve done good there. The other challenge is making it easy to use for anyone, while having the tools users expect.”
