Ohm Force has announced Ohm Studio, a standalone real-time collaborative music making application (DAW/sequencer) in addition to a web based collaboration platform and a music driven online cohmunity.
This is also supposed to offer real time collaborative MIDI/audio editing, envelopes, a piano roll, audio effects, and virtual instruments: the same tools we computer based musicians already enjoy, but that you’ll now be able to use with your friends, online.
With Ohm Studio, it will be possible to set up a productive workspace to make music together. No more big files transfers, no more endless set up incompatibilities. And as with a conventional studio session, communicate with each others thanks to the in-app chat system that makes it simple to share any thought, instruction or comment, the company says.
When searching for music partners, you will now be able to search for musicians from around the world. Through the Ohm Studio Cohmunity you will discover collaborative projects that appeal to you and find new people with whom to make music, searching by style, mood, skill, city, country and more. You may discover that the drummer or the singer you have always been looking for is only a few clicks away.
Ohm Studio will also be a tool to showcase your own work and skills, in order to be discovered and/or be invited into groups or sessions.
For those who have a traditional “local” band/project, made up of people from the same town who actually enjoy meeting and playing together, Ohm Studio will be a way of expanding their workflow, as the creation process will no longer be limited by the 2 hours they’re actually able to share the same physical place.
Cohmunity
The Cohmunity is the place where all Ohm Studio users will gather to find partners to make music with, view others profiles, create groups with others, share ideas on the forums or post projects mixdowns. Mixdowns can be posted on the group’s profile, as demos. In short, the Cohmunity will be a one stop place for collaborative work. It will be possible to access the Ohm Studio’s Cohmunity features from the application itself or from any web browser.

Some Ohm Studio Facts:
- When will Ohm Studio be officially released? By the end of 2010, as beta testing ends.
- How can I apply for the beta testing program and when will it take place? It will take place in 2010 Q3 and anyone interested in participating will be able to apply on www.ohmstudio.com, where the application form is already available.
- Will Ohm Studio support third party plug-ins? Yes, it will support third party VST plug-ins.
- How much will it cost? This will be announced after we have completed beta testing.
- How many people will be able to work together? Technically, up to 256.
- Is Ohm Studio supposed to replace current sequencers such as Ableton Live, Logic, Cubase and etc in someone’s setup? Yes and no, according to Ohm Force. These applications have features that you will not find in the Ohm Studio and will certainly be more suited to certain aspects of the musical production process. However, the Ohm Studio has its own strengths and innovations in term of usability and ease of use. And as a DAW with realtime musical collaboration, it’s THE choice to be made.
