Developer Holiday? A contradiction in terms! Merry Hackathon, from David Kent, CEO of Play4Me. We noticed that adding too many studio effects weighed down the browser, so I imposed a limit rather than have our users try and figure out what might be messing up the sound. On the other hand, I don't want our esteemed composers and track producers limited in any way toward the pursuit of a master hit, so I envisioned a new feature. This one rivals what DAW's do because you can use it in infinite combinations to refine your final mix. It's called "Send" and it's an effect of its own. You drop it into a channel and twiddle the knob to point to any other channel. All the audio up to that point in the effects chain is then routed to the channel you specified. And you can keep going with that idea. If multiple channels want to "Send" to the same one, and it has Reverb and a bunch of other resource-intensive effects inserted into it, now all the sources combine and you can set the level of the group independently, like a pre-mix into the master. It's a cool way to get around limits and provide all the ear candy your mix would ever need.

Most days at Play4.me are good ones. When we are dealing with infrastructure or technology challenges we have so far emerged with a more robust system every time. An example of a great day was when we met with the CEO of a technology company who has a great reputation serving the public sector with bespoke software solutions. Here's his follow-up quote: "It was a wonderful privilege to see all the hard work you and Lori have put into your brilliant creation. I'm confident it can scale." This individual will become a valuable advisor to our business, being particularly familiar with resources and enthusiasts in the Sacramento, California area. (Lori, our COO, presented with me during the demonstration. We rocked out!)

Great Demo! So, here's some irony. Our Board and Advisors tuned in, and said, "Nice, but I can't tell when you're playin' live!" Music to my ears! Our improvised solos must have been perfectly sync’d with the backing track! I've since built in some more visual indicators to highlight this capability so nobody misses what great things are happening. I'm seeking active professionals and/or enthusiasts familiar with digital audio production to have online writing and jam sessions with so they can experience these new capabilities.
