ZombiePornoCult Collaboration Considerations
Midi Clock sync, SMPTE, MTC and MMC from Tweakheadz Lab
The problem
Audio and music happens in time. Many of your machines have an internal clock keeping track of what time it is supposed to do something. These clocks, unless made to receive code from an external clock, will be totally out of sync with other machines. That is the problem. The solution is to make all your machines share the same timebase, so if you were to ask any one machine what time it was it would say, "we are exactly at 0 hours, 1 minutes, 40 seconds, and 018 frames into the song, right, mmm, NOW!" Or in sequencer speak, we are 00:01:40:018. You've probably seen that display on your sequencer. Yes it is more than just telling you how long your song is, it is actually a representation of the timecode referencing your sequencer's internal clock. All the methods we are about to discuss, SMPTE, MTC, MIDI Clock Sync, SPP and MMC are the methods we can use to get our devices to share a single clock source.

No wokn furries! We should prolly also start a thread on recommended on and off-line places to get moozakill bargains!!!
There's always *something* to save for...

Net-based Audio Collaboration
How to Collaborate on an Audio Project Over the Net from AudioJungle
It used to be impossible to collaborate on audio projects using the net. When the world was on dial-up, most people weren’t using digital recording technology and even if they were, connectivity was just too slow to handle the huge files that are inherent in the process of making music.
Today it’s quite possible to collaborate on audio projects using the Internet, since we can handle the uploading and downloading of large files pretty quickly and without racking up a huge bill. But that doesn’t mean the methods for doing so have been refined, and you’ll be surprised how many producers, engineers and their collaborators aren’t sure what to do when they first sign up for this kind of venture.

Patch bays
Patchbays FAQ from Sound on Sound
Walk into any professional studio and you will find a patchbay (or jackfield, to use the original British term) lurking in a rack somewhere. This kind of facility might seem totally superfluous in a simple home studio, but once the number of outboard units and sound sources increases, a patchbay quickly becomes an essential facility rather than an expensive luxury. The different types available, their setup, and their exact function in a studio can be the source of considerable confusion. In an effort to set things straight, I have tried to answer many of the most common patchbay questions we receive at Sound On Sound.
