IF YOU’VE EVER tried to play along with another musician in a Zoom call, you’ll know that the lag in video apps makes real-time collaboration painful. But that doesn’t mean you can’t all work remotely on the same track when you can’t all be in the same room. Simply share your project with your collaborators, and it will automatically update and sync when anybody adds to it.
For remote music making, you need everyone to have three things. One, decent internet access. Two, a music app — ideally the same one you have. And three, an interface that they can use to connect their instrument to their computer, such as a USB guitar, microphone, or MIDI interface.
