Hi All,In 2011 I received an invite to attend HackManchester in England - I m actually terrible with hackathon ideas and at the time I was excited about the WebAudio API which had just been announced by Google/Chrome.My bright idea was to buy a MIDI-keyboard, use the laptop mic and have a shared room where remote musicians can jam together - we had 48 hours to build it and after 24 hours I think we all realised that we were taking on a technical problem that was far too big for a hackathon. It died, but I kept the domain name.Over time I ve had to renew that domain name and there s always been a thought in the back of my mind - is now the right time? Can I actually do it?And it turns out that we can.Today we (a small team in the UK) are launching our waitlist for a new audio-collaboration platform called HiFiFu - at hififu.com.HiFiFu is a place for musicians to work together in real-time on tracks, stems and live audio.The killer for most realtime audio-collaboration so far has been platform-access - some are Mac-only - some require an app to be installed etc.This is web only, nothing to download and install - just head to hififu and start jamming.If you re technical (or an audiophile) then we do recommend being on a Mac and being wired (RJ45 cable) into your ethernet/router whatever - this is to lower latency between musicians - more technical detail is available at the waitlist site.We have a number of use-cases we re targeting: * find-and-jam: musicians can find and add other musicians to their room/session. * Portable DJ: import your DAWProject, work on tracks and stems with real VST processing - keep your room or download the DAWProject when you re done. * Play-along (or karaoke): using SAM3Audio we can scrub one or more aspects of a music track and you and others can play or sing along with the remaining track elements. * mixed context: sound-engineers, song-writers, guitarists, vocalists etc. all remote around the world, but working in the same session/room. * MIDI support: tracks, stems and realtime audio can come from waveform (mic, audio upload etc.), MIDI (upload or device-input) with effects applied. * multiple DJs, sound-engineers: complex arrangements can be set up with participants adding multiple tracks, stems etc. so they can work-together back-to-back. * broadcast: your session/room can be surfaced to millions of listeners for free, sponsored or ticketed broadcasting. * forking/tapping a room: if the room allows it, you can fork/tap a session and add your own take on it (in a new room/session). Maybe there s a harpist you like, and you want to add your own vocals? Maybe someone takes that combination and layers over a realtime mix?We think there s a lot of potential to this platform, and we re excited about it and we want to stabilise it and bring more features before we open the doors - but we need to know if there s demand for it. Because at the moment we ve built something that we think is cool, but we re not actually sure.Please join the waitlist at https://hififu.com and we ll keep you updated on the progress. And, of course, I m happy to answer any questions here.Thank you for reading
