I'm a musician/producer, just got to test this. I think it pretty much nails it for dead simple, fast and furious music collaboration. The interface makes it pleasant to lay down multiple tracks, working well both for people who have used DAWs before and for recording newbies, and while on ideation stage video beats just audio because you can immediately recall exactly how you played a given part (by looking at your fingers/mouth/etc).<p>I think this has a lot of potential, and one possible use case would be for bands to engage with their audiences directly, asking them to contribute parts to their new songs.
BTW - if you install the app, you can open this song: <a href="http://getbandhub.com/?s=524e26a8cc8d46e238000001" rel="nofollow">http://getbandhub.com/?s=524e26a8cc8d46e238000001</a><p>And experience:<p>> Andrew Mason (Groupon co-founder)

I'm a person that has spent lots of money on low-latency digital audio interfaces and know from experience that every millisecond counts. It seems like this type of technology always suffers from latency issues. How are latency issue overcome by BandHub?
This sounds awesome, please make a linux version. Or maybe use a format that wouldn't require a specific client for advanced users that already have a favorite client.
So interesting to see start ups that help w this kind of remote collaboration. An interesting example of globalization. Now a band can be in Toronto, DC and Hong Kong at once. I wonder if the music will be more diverse and interesting
This looks like really cool technology to bring people together. I wonder if it would be possible to make movies with too by shooting different scenes in different locations and putting the audio all together.
Very cool, I had been trying to get together my old band from back in South America but we had not been able to find a way for us to get it done. Looks great, will give it a try this weekend.
Typo on homepage:<p>"Contribute tracks to other people's songs. Open up <i>your</i> songs for other people's contributions. Clone/version/remix existing songs."
I am a guitar aficionado... this app would be great.
Remote collaboration with high quality audio online can allow for interesting new music ideas to float.
