Steinberg and Rocket Networks make it
possible! A revolution to computer based music production! While the computer
made it possible for the individual to do a lot on his own, Cubase VST now brings
musicians together again. Wouldn't it be amazing to meet people from abroad
to work on the same piece of music? Just sharing the same song- and audio-files?
It happens!
Steinberg's Cubase VST is the first music production system to break out of
the box. When Cubase VST is boosted with the Rocket Network's Internet technology,
the VST studio becomes a global workplace. Each rocket powered Cubase VST is
an entrance to a studio connecting musicians live over the Internet.
Cubase VST together with the Rocket Network's Internet technology makes it
possible for multiple users of Cubase VST to work together and share projects,
using the Internet as a live connection - using the functionality of Steinberg's
Cubase VST so the working methods are entirely familiar. You don't have to be
an Internet expert to make use of it; you just log into a studio
and invite others to join you on a project. All members of the session are working
together in real time. They all hear the work in progress, as it develops.
You can share one of your own projects, or work together on someone else's.
The Internet is used to update it as it develops in real-time. All participants
are working on their own aspects of the same arrangement. You have complete
control over your contribution; you can publish your changes whenever you wish.
As the other session players change the arrangement at their end, the changes
are reflected on all other studios.
A rocket powered Cubase VST uses high quality MPEG3 audio file compression
for all the real-time transfers. In the highest quality mode you won't be able
to hear the compression in action. After the real-time session is over, the
original files can be transferred in their original format to each of the session
members.
Cubase VST with the Rocket Power Module has applications for producers wanting
to do sessions in distant places, educational users bringing together groups
of musicians, and those who wish to collaborate with others on projects without
having to rely on a fixed location. It offers a new possibilities to seek out
others and work together.
