So i was messin around with Camtasia and PalTalk (its a video/voice chat software, for those who dont know). In PalTalk you can create your own room...even password protected if you want....and its unlimited to the number of people you can have in these private rooms...For example you can have 20 people in the room..all chatting (just like any chat software) but, if you want, you can also have 20 videos open of those 20 members (providing they have a webcam OR using the Camtasia screen capture stream feature)...but....Here is what i was foolin with...i figured out how to link Camtasia to Paltalk...using Camtasias video capture driver...SO for example... WHOEVER could be doing a LIVE tutorial, while all 20 members are watching....OR...we could do colabs or battles that way...cuz you can also file share in that room...so i, or ANYBODY could lay some chops and drums (while you watch) send the .rsn file, .flp file, Cubase project file etc.. through file transfer to whoever wants to jump on the next part. They could open their video (using the Camtasia driver) and show themselves creating their additon....then pass it on..so fourth and so on....or you can just hang out, play your beats, chat, get on the mic, share techniques...etc. Only one downside....to get full motion HIGH SPEED, TV QUALITY video....and yes it is FAST..you gotta pay a small fee to PalTalk...its like 20 bucks for three months, not 20 bucks a month but, 20 BUCKS FOR THREE MONTHS thats like $6.67 a month...which really aint ish.....and if you dont like it, cancel the TV quality..and go back to the regular features...NO CONTRACT! NO BS! It isnt required to pay the 20 bills, again PALTALK IS FREE, but you will reap the benefits by gaining the high speed video. Download the free version
www.paltalk.com, and you'll have the option to upgrade whenever you want. The room is password protected for now till we discuss things, and see the response to this. Ill post up daily when the lounge is open, gonna do it like this for now, if the response is heavy ill set up a time schedule, and give out some admin priledges to open the room when i cant. Anyway..thought it may be fun, and a good learning experience..would keep us frosty and creative while we sit in the cut .....seeing as how their are a few decent production forums out their (some focus on the newbies some a lil more advanced) i think it would be great for all us to be together in one place to network, make each community grow!! IN REALTIME! So ive posted this on a couple of other forums. Yes the room is already created and operational!! Get the best of ALL worlds! So respond to this thread and lemme know what you think about the PALTALK PRODUCTION LOUNGE. If you wanna go ahead and jump on this get at me and ill tell you how to get into the room.
one,
Lon
