ABSTRACT
This chapter is concerned with the idea of long-distance, real-time music collaboration in contemporary music production contexts. In 2007, Carot et al. noted that there are "several technical and cultural barriers that need to be overcome in order to bring networked music performance in the mainstream". In the thirteen years since, the networked audio landscape has developed significantly. It contributes to both those technical and cultural conversations, addressing two specific areas. Firstly, through discussion of a practical case study, the chapter investigates new format for long-distance, real-time work – namely Audinate's Dante Audio Over IP with its new multi-zone capabilities. Secondly, it considers and discusses concepts, terminology and nomenclature in relation to the experience of music production in a long-distance, real-time context. Through this discussion, the chapter proposes a terminology that supports the experience, represents the technical process and makes use of existing terms and concepts already part of wider culture to bridge academic research with mainstream usage.
