Ejamming

eJamming makes software that enables people to practice music together 1000 miles apart. The idea is to let musicians practice together even when they can't get together physically, or to let students and teachers work together remotely.

 eJamming AUDiiO is a software application you download from our website to your computer's desktop. When you open eJamming AUDiiO and log into the eJamming LOBBY, you can connect to the world's musicians - first by chatting in the lobby or private chat or by offline messaging each other.
 * WHAT IT IS: **

Then by creating or joining SESSIONS, you connect with up to three other musicians anywhere in the world for real time collaboration, creation, recording and just playing for fun. And in eJamming's JAM MODE, you feel near zero latency on your own instrument.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-6154616-7.html January 30, 2007 10:28 AM PST =eJamming: Skype for musicians= by [|Rafe Needleman] There are really interesting technical challenges to making this work. Not only do you have to transmit very high quality audio, but you have to do it with extremely low audio latency. The eJamming founders, Alan Glueckman and Gail Kantor, told me their audio processor and peer-to-peer technology solves these issues, and they're going to demo their new product on Wednesday at the **[|Demo '07 conference]**. But eJamming can't break the laws of physics or go faster than the network it's running on, and it's the first online service I've heard of with geographic constraints. Even with a fast connection, Glueckman and Kantor don't recommend the service for people separated by more than a few hundred miles. Glueckman says he had his cousin, Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer, in mind when he built this product. The idea being that Aerosmith can still have rehearsals when one or more band members are out of town. Kramer hasn't yet tried the product, Glueckman told me. I also ran this idea by my wife, who plays in a **[|string quartet]**. She scoffed at it, since so much of performing, rehearsing, and teaching, she said, depends on subtle visual and personal cues that can't be transmitted over a network. The eJamming team hopes to add video to the product at some point. I can see this working, though, for occasional rehearsals and for informal jamming. There's also a social-network angle to the service, which helps musicians find each other. The service will go into beta in a few weeks. However, the cost of the service may limit its uptake: It's $15 a month. Per band member. That means a four-member band will have to shell out $720 a year to use it. Are you a musician? What do you think of this idea? By the way, at last year's Demo, **[|iGuitar]** showed off a cool USB guitar [ see video]. In other **[|Demo 07 news from CNET's Webware blog]**: Eyejot launches a simple **[|video e-mail service]**; and Trailfire shows off **[|more-evolved Web stickies]**.
 * [|eJamming]**, which makes software that enables people to practice music together if their instruments are Musical Instrument Digital Interface (**[|MIDI]**)-enabled, is announcing a service that works for non-MIDI instruments too: drums, guitars, voice, violins, etc. The idea is to let musicians practice together even when they can't get together physically, or to let students and teachers work together remotely.
