TheNetStudio.com - The Virtual Recording Studio

VRS is a virtual meeting ground for musicians. More than simply a message board, VRS offers a complete system for musical collaboration.

This means of course, that artists aren’t bounded by their geographical locations. They can have their Hungarian orchestras and Inuit throat singers through the genius of etherspace. VRS comes equipped with real-time chat, comments, file uploading, track management and of course a bulletin board. You’ll also find a primer on getting started with recording with information covering everything from sound cards and microphones to DAW software and mastering. There’s also a wiki with collaboration sources and discussion boards. The Virtual Recording Studio is free, but it does require registration.

“ VRS strives to be a virtual meeting place for musicians to create music. In VRS, all musicians are "studio musicians", and VRS strives to create a place where different musicians can work together on multiple songs. Now, an artist with a really great song is no longer limited by geographic location, in finding other "local" musicians that have the same musical tastes. Instead, artists can use VRS to collaborate with like minded musicians, whether they are in the same neighborhood or on different continents, using the magical ether of the Internet.”

VRS has come up with a solution for a familiar problem: musical collaboration. Sometimes there just aren’t any musical talents in your ‘hood which means either moving to NY or if you haven’t got that kind of cash, looking to the virtual realm. VRS has the tools to connect artists, making virtual collaboration almost as good as in the real world.

VRS doesn’t quite yet have a spectacular service. Basically it’s a jazzed up message board with chat functions. Will VRS add more power to its tool set? Will musicians find it useful/adequate?
