This is so cool. Can't wait to hear what kind of cool stuff comes out of this. Hey @decktonic, Does Blend allow for collaboration on projects with multiple DAWs (e.g. Logic & Ableton on the same project)?

@playswithfood I'd love to try this out with @alexbaldwin! Do you have any invite codes to spare? Edit: Applied for a membership code through the site too, in case the wait is short and I don't need to use up anyone's invites)

Thanks @decktonic! Actually just got my invite email, so I just used that. I'm looking forward to checking it out this weekend. How do you think Blend.io stands out from other music & music collab sites? How do you handle (or plan to handle) merges or editing different parts of the same file at once? I'd love a button to sync to SoundCloud (or let you scrape my "following" list there) to automatically follow on Blend those artists I already follow on SoundCloud. Same with artists I've "like"d on Facebook.

@decktonic Thanks for the quick response! Agreed about staying out of people's way. I think what I'm getting at is I'd be worried that the following happens: * I save a "song1" project and invite a friend to add some layers to the beat while I keep working on the vocals. * We're both working on the project at once now * If I save my version of the mix/project, he'll overwrite my changes when he saves. If he saves first, I'll overwrite his changes. Then we're relegated to Ye Olden Days' method of saving as a copy every time: "song1_final.wav", "song1_final2.wav", "song1_final_final.wav" etc. I suppose an alternative would be only working on individual pieces then having one person do the mix. But am I missing something?

Ohhhh I see. So it's not really about collaboration on a single project, it's more like an "open source" publishing platform that encourages remixes and re-use of components?

Probably one of my favorite companies of all time. Share your guitar solo and someone else can pick it up and add their drum beat to it. Possibilities are endless here and real collaboration on music creation without unnecessary consideration of geographical location is possible. Coolest thing is imagining how this will help musicians unlock new ways to monetize their efforts. David Bowie can now sell the component parts of "Let's Dance" and people can remix with their own vocals, etc. (not that anything could ever beat David's melodic voice on that masterpiece).

Blend supports FL Studio now too which is great! They're supporting more plugins as well so collaboration will be even more seamless as more content is added.
