Is Cyber Jamming A Reality?

MusicianLink Inc. has a new gizmo that will allow musicians to jam in real time via the web supposedly without latency issues.

Here’s the pitch…

MusicianLink, Inc., a pioneer in real-time music collaboration and Internet acoustics emerged from three years of research and development to unveil the jamLink. The jamLink is an Internet audio interface enabling musicians to play in sync from multiple locations across town or hundreds of miles apart. The jamLink delivers CD-quality audio and works with guitars, bass, keyboards, drums and vocals – basically any instrument or mic that has a 1/4” instrument output. Musicians, singers and songwriters with a high-speed Internet connection are now able to collaborate without sacrificing audio quality or accounting for latency.

The jamLink requires a high-speed Internet connection, a web browser and headphones. There is no software to install; third party hardware or software to configure and troubleshoot; or subscription to maintain. It was designed with plug and play ease in mind. The jamLink is equipped with an Ethernet port that connects it to the network and is controlled by software hosted by your computer’s web browser. Once users log into MusicianLink.com, they can manage and initiate the jamLink sessions as easily as starting a chat session.

Tell you what; I would like to try this but, I’m not willing to shell out the $244.00 (special price direct from MusicianLink.com) at this time. I’d love to try it though.
