VALLEY VILLAGE, CA and ORLANDO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 28, 2007 -- Musicians have long
dreamed of connecting online in real time. Today eJamming, Inc. makes the
dream a reality with the release of
eJamming® AUDiiO beta, a breakthrough
real-time Internet collaboration technology and service for musicians, and
the debut of the
eJamming AUDiiO
portal, which will become a resource-rich community where musicians can
connect, showcase their music, find teachers/students, buy and sell gear,
and more.
eJamming AUDiiO is the first online service to enable any musician --
acoustic or electronic, student or professional -- to make music and
collaborate with others in complete synchrony over the Internet. The
software and service are available for free during beta at
www.ejamming.com.
eJamming AUDiiO provides a virtual practice and recording studio for the
estimated 250 million musicians and singers worldwide. With eJamming
AUDiiO, musicians can write, rehearse, record, learn and play together over
the Internet. All they need is access to a computer, broadband connection,
audio interface device and microphone.
"I used eJamming AUDiiO to connect with Orlando and Los Angeles in the same
session and was amazed by how it was possible to jam with musicians
thousands of miles away from my hometown of Newcastle Upon Tyne, England in
a real-time audio session using nothing more than my guitar and FX plugged
into my PC. It was also easily the most immersive and satisfying online
experience I have had to date," said Trevor Sewell, a U.K.-based
professional guitarist. "I am now looking forward to connecting and
collaborating with musicians throughout England. I have already made new
like-minded friends on eJamming. This is simply the best software I have
ever used, bar none!"
"For the first time, any musician -- vocalist, acoustic guitarist, horn and
string player, even harmonica players and accordionists -- can play
together with others over the Internet and importantly, in sync," said
eJamming Co-Founder and Chairman/President
Alan Jay Glueckman,
who led eJamming's international engineering team in developing this new
technology. "eJamming AUDiiO technology effectively resolves the delays in
transmitting audio online that have prevented real-time music collaboration
in the past."
Proprietary data-thinning schemes and patented Internet delay-management
algorithms enable eJamming AUDiiO to achieve the real-time synchrony among
musicians in different locations that is critical for a satisfying online
collaboration.
The eJamming AUDiiO software also includes a host of features designed to
enhance the online collaborative experience such as CD-quality recording
capability, searchable profiles that allow musicians to identify others
with like interests, JamVite instant messaging so musicians can invite one
another to jam, an automated calendar for scheduling sessions, and full
MIDI capability. The user interface is clean, contemporary, player-centric
and easy to use.
Additional resources for member musicians will be integrated into the
eJamming AUDiiO portal during the beta test period, turning it into a real
"home base" for members:
-- Friends and Bands: Links to musician friends who are currently online;
lists of the various eJamming Bands the member has joined or belongs to and
links to those bands' pages within the portal where they can showcase
themselves and their music
-- Daily "Featured Band": Spotlights an eJamming member band each day on
the homepage
-- The Limelight Bar: Welcomes each new member with a spotlight on the
eJamming home page
-- Highlights: Dynamically lists new content posted anywhere on the
portal in the center of the homepage
-- eJamming Happenings: Lists members logged in and current jams going on
-- Classifieds: Allows teachers and students to find one another; bands
to announce auditions; and members to look for arrangers and accompanists,
buy and sell used gear, and more
"The release of eJamming AUDiiO is without a doubt the most rewarding
result of our long mission to break down music-making barriers," said
Gail Kantor,
co-founder and CEO, eJamming. "Now, musicians and singers can create more
music more easily because with eJamming AUDiiO it's so easy to get
together. Our whole team has worked hard to achieve this goal, and we're
thrilled to bring it to the world."
