Logic Audio Becomes Internet Enabled with Version 4.6

September 29, 2000

From Version 4.6 of Logic Audio Platinum, Logic users from around the world will be connected via the Internet and able to produce in virtual online studios. This revolutionary form of global music production is based on the network technology of Rocket Network and the transmission protocol that is seamlessly integrated within Logic Audio Platinum 4.6.

This technology opens the door to a new way forward for music and audio production:simplified coordination, no time-consuming and expensive travel, transcontinental production running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, huge online audio archiving capacities, plus access to a truly international talent pool.

Online production with Logic Audio
Producing online with Logic Audio 4.6 is simple: Log in via a web browser or the Rocket Control applet, lease a studio and start Logic Audio Platinum 4.6. As tracks are recorded and posted, they are automatically distributed to all other musicians in the studio, saving time and effort on email, import and file-conversion tasks. The posted elements can then be freely modified by other authorised studio participants. There is a chat window for exchanging comments during production.The Internet recording studio features a “master arrangement” which always reflects the current state of the project and is available on request to studio members.

Quality of audio transmission
Data transfer between studio members can be compressed or sent at full-bandwidth (44.1,16-bit). Two levels of data compression are provided by the QDesign CODEC. Studio members have the option of zero reduction for high quality audio transfers through to heavy reduction for fast transmission speeds.
