I believe that source elements is working on a solution that would include a built-in VPN to bolster the quality of service. I just sent a client to Italy and make sure he was working via VPN and it proved to be far more reliable than without.

What is a VPN, George?

Tom,

A Skype tunnel/wormhole is done using SSH. It requires the parties on both ends and a proxy server in between that both parties SSH into. It works well and is secure.

It is used primarily as a workaround when Skype is blocked by the service provider or firewall. Where Skype is blocked SSH isn't. It creates a psudo protective tunnel. A poor mans VPN.

One benefit of SSH is that it is in an always "open" connection until it is turned "off" by either the host or client. And it is always maintaining that open pathway whether transferring data or not. Unlike http traffic that is an ask and receive then start over again service.

Bob

SC already uses a VPN which is one reason for the high bandwidth requirements of SC. Adding additional internet bandwidth requirements is only going to add to the problem.

Tunneling/worm-holing again requires higher bandwidth on the internet. All of the above solutions require a server to negotiate the media. NAT transversal in the client is required to make the media connection point-to-point and do away with the server intermediary (which causes delay).

There is a solution coming, watch for it on Indiegogo.com soon. It addresses the issues presented by Bish and answers most of the questions presented here and on other locations on the internet. It also includes full spectrum frequency response of 20 to 20 kHz, stereo, video (if desired) and is cross platform (Mac, Win, Linux) compatible.

This is a very timely thread, to me. I had a session on Thursday at a local studio, and as I was leaving, I learned that the studio was in the process of phasing out their ISDN for Source-Connect.

I was fairly shocked. This is a full-fledged, been-here-for-eons recording studio, and THEY are giving up ISDN. Everyone talks about ISDN dying, and studios being the last ones to give up the ghost... well, here's one piece of anecdotal evidence that it's starting to happen. Shocked

Process it as you will...

I've been a lurker here for a while but something Frank said caught my eye:"cross platform (Mac, Win, Linux) compatible." I am so ready for something that works on all systems instead of being dedicated to one operating system. I am one of the few here that prefer Linux and more specifically use Ubuntu Studio as my operating system of choice. It's a wonderful thing. If you want simple audio, there's Audacity. If you want something more like Pro Tools, there's Ardour. I think the big issue will always by DRM. Linux and DRM (Digital Rights Management) just don't get along. But companies like Source Elements and Adobe live exclusively in that world. If something comes along that is truly cross platform, I'll be there in a NY Minute. (That's the time between a traffic light turning green and when the cabbie behind you starts honking his horn.)

A NY minute ---- now that's fast!

The new "toy" is Debian Six (Squeeze) for Linux. Glad you are on board. Let's ride this train.
