Musigy.com - Jam Together Online

Musigy is the perfect social-networking site for musicians looking to rock out with other like-minded individuals online. From the creators of the first real-time jazz festival (where musicians played together though separated by 3,000 miles), Musigy boasts state-of-the-art, award-winning technology which allows users to plug in their instruments, play, and then experience the musical session through streaming sound and video which, Musigy claims, makes it seem like “you’re in the same room”. Just download the free software and you’re ready to go. Additionally, the site lets you create your own profile where you can specify your musical interests and even upload videos of yourself playing.

“Our technology makes it possible for people to make live music together over the Internet. Just plug in your guitar, keyboard, microphone or whatever you’ve got, and make music with other members of the Musigy community. It’s as if you’re in the same room! You see each other on a video screen and play in synch. Musigy Maker offers high-quality sound and ultra-low delays. And best of all, it’s free!”

Musigy could definitely prove to be an invaluable means of linking musicians to other musicians through the internet. Its innovative software appears to truly be one-of-a-kind, according to reviews and testimonials provided on the site.

How good is the streaming video and sound? What are the delays like? It’s unclear exactly how this service works; could the site offer a more technical explanation of how exactly the musicians plug in their instruments and connect live to other players?
