WHAT IS MUSE?
Muse is like Zoom for music makers.
With muse you can collaborate online with other musicians like you’re in the same studio together. You can share what’s playing in your DAW, and everyone in the muse session can hear what’s coming from your speakers like they’re sitting right next to you.
Let’s take a look at a few of the features that makes Muse a game changing app for music creators.
KEY FEATURES
With muse, You can take any audio being shared with the session, like a voice or an instrumentalist, and record it straight into your DAW.
You can even play or record MIDI over the network, so someone with their keyboard plugged in can play software instruments on your computer.
and you can easily drag and drop files from your computer into Muse, so everyone in the session will be able to add them directly into their DAW project.
MY EXPERIENCE WITH MUSE
It’s easy to drag and share files directly from Muse and into your DAW. No issues there!
The MIDI recording worked great, like scary good. I think this program Is a real game changer and definitely worth trying for remote work, however,
I got a bit of latency in the audio recording, where the audio would record into my DAW much later than it was performed.
To correct for this you’ll want to adjust the Muse recording settings to match the tempo, sample rate, and buffer size of your DAW, so you can record performances with accuracy.
I found It also does take some troubleshooting to make sure you and the performer hear everything during recording.
In my case I ended up creating a multi-output device in my Audio Midi settings with both my interface and the muse audio share driver. (Muse is in Alpha as of this writing so the experience will only get smoother!)
The other driver used to sync recording on both computers is the Muse DAW Controller which will start and stop recording in your DAW, AND the DAW of the performer, so they can send you their copy to confirm you don’t lose anything in over the network. This took some time to setup but there are plenty of tutorials available on the Muse website for support.
OTHER COOL STUFF
You can even share your session with a mix engineer.
You can share your screen and they can control your DAW, so they can Mix or Master your project live without needing to meet with you in person for the same experience. They hear your mix thru their speakers, in their treated room.
Making music online has never been easier than now, and Muse just released a community page in the app, so if you want to meet someone online to make music with, you can browse the community, find someone with similar interests, and invite them to your session all in the same app.
You can even login to Muse and find people to collaborate with.
If you’re in need of a guitarist or an engineer, you can search for it in the community and invite them to join your session.
