I think there is a site or platform that allows for live playing together online. I'm gonna try to research it but maybe somebody's familiar. I know I have seen videos, so it's possible. We could all learn a song and then jam it together online live. Kind of a virtual MET a V-MET! I think this could be fun and maybe a way to reach out to family and friends we can't spend time with right now. We could rehearse and then maybe have a on line concert that people could log on a see (post a video later for youtube of course).
I don't know, what do you think?
We use Zoom for family video chats as we are all on lockdown - that might work and you can record them.
My wife said zoom also, is there a lag or latency issue?
It's alright - worth a try. You'll need email addresses to invite people.
Businesses use it too for meetings.
I suggest people message you with their emails addresses if you want to set something up. You'll need to let people know the differences in time zones. It's set up like a meetings.
At the very least we can do more collabs - although my BR is on it's last legs and I can't even get it to register the drive at the moment.
Maybe try it with someone fairly local to you and see how it goes first?
It's a lifeline for our family as we can all see each other.
Interesting idea. I think you have 40 minutes max, but would be fun to live collab song create then go back to record, etc.
Oh , but would you be able to understand my Canadian accent? ;D
Greeny was proposing zoom too in another similar topic. Let's see what happens !
Great idea Hook! Let me know if you get something set up.

Zoom - you get longer than 40 mins if there is 3 or less users.

There's always Google translate ;D
I have a feeling (just a hunch) that Zoom will have some latency issues but I just found this.

and this or something like it might be the real deal. I have tyo work tonight but will do some more research tomorrow, unless someone else beats me to it.

Haha! Right! ;D
Here's a crash course for ya:
"Eh?" - Don't you think? Conversational device that allows an unconfrontational canadian to turn a statement into a poll of opinion.
"hoser" - unsophisticated person
"keener" - boot-licker, suck up, over achiever
"Molson muscle"- potbelly ( Molson is a beer brand)
"for sure" - definitely
"mickey"- 375 ml. (13 oz.) bottle of liquor
"arse, bum" - one's hind quarters.
Loonie (Toonie) -
A loonie, the Canadian $1 coin, gets its name from the picture of the Canadian bird, the loon, that appears on one side of the coin.
A toonie, the name for the $2 coin
"Timmies" -
Timmies refers to the much-loved (though, mediocre) fast-food coffee chain, Tim Hortons, which gets its name from a famous Canadian hockey player
"Give'er" -
A slang term that means to give it all you got when all else fails.
That's all you really need to know and Canadians will give you a big hug welcome!
( unless you have Covid-19 and then it's just a " how's it goin' eh"? from 20 feet away! :D
