Hi,

I recently set up the METAMUSIC group in world. It is a group aimed at the specifics of in world audio. If you would like to join, please search in groups for METAMUSIC and then click join Smile

We had a meet up of the group on Saturday. It was really exciting and lasted about 3 hours ! About 30 people showed up, including many people who had seen the event on the in world search and Prospero Linden who was really helpful with some technical issues.

As a result of the meeting, I have set up this forum :

http://metamusic.forumarena.com/

The forum is designed to address the technical and artistic challenges of creating in-world audio ( both soundtracks and environmental sound ) in virtual worlds, initially concentrating on Second Life, but potentially expanding to other virtual platforms later. This includes :

- 10s audio uploads – how to optimize the performance of in world sounds for ambient environmental sounds as well as sound / music installations.

- Parcel streamed audio – how to optimize the use of this system, technologies for multiple streams on 1 parcel, HTML on a prim use cases.

- SL Voice – how this can be used for sound and music.

This forum will NOT cover live bands in SL, DJ’s in SL, the promotion of music in SL or the general community. This is the best forum for that !!

I will be creating weekly summaries of all the major issues brought up in the forum and posting them to the mailing list, and on my blog : http://dizzybanjo.wordpress.com , but I hope anyone with an interest / expertise in these areas can contribute to the forum and in world meetings

The next meeting will be next Saturday 13th at 12 Midday SLT, at my studio here : http://slurl.com/secondlife/Howlin%20Wolf/39/159/23

All the meetings will be scheduled on this Google calendar: http://www.google.com/calendar/em...eavg0%40group.calendar.google.com
