Problem would be to get a signal back to the drummer for monitoring. Perhaps all instruments would be need to be midified. How could one transmit midi via skype? -w- Maybe if all of the strings and vox were at one location, and the drummer played a midi drumset, that would eliminate latency issues as the midi bandwidth is much smaller than audio.

From my own personal experience, Skype is ideal for writing music--especially if you work one on one with each band member (such as drums with guitar, and so on). You can hook up external speakers and play in real-time. It might take a few tries to work out the kinks, and it might never be as "perfect" as playing together in a garage...but I think it could definately keep any band connected when they are seperated geographically. Good luck! Adonijah,

I am planning to move 1300 miles away from the rest of the members in about a year or so, yet we have SO much left to do. have you been able to practice anymore with Skype? How well do you think it would work for writing new music? Let me know if you have any more info on it or any advice. Thanks! 8) I am in a band myself and have a bit of a dilemma.
