New Session Console on the Way!
Friday June 05, 2009 at 06:27 PM
by Mantis
From time to time, I get members asking me to “leak” top-secret Indaba information. Some of you ask about new features we’re looking to implement or what site changes, upgrades, and contests we’re considering. I always have the unfortunate response of saying that I am not at liberty to release this sort of info. I am still working under those orders, but there is something so huge going on backstage that I CANNOT keep it all to myself! I will deal with the backlash…
Indaba is getting ready to launch a completely new, and might I add, awesome console! We have been working closely with Sun Microsystems in creating this amazing JavaFX application. This innovative digital audio workstation will not only allow you to upload, edit, and mix your music, but will include new features – such as high-quality recording of uncompressed audio directly to Indaba, real-time non-destructive effects, a clips library full of Creative Commons-licensed loops, and the abilitiy to drag the console from the browser to your desktop and work offline.
The new Indaba console will give you much more flexibility and will ultimately allow you to work faster. The capabilities available with the new console will allow musicians to take their work and collaborations to the next level; literally changing the way music is made. Just ask Rivers Cuomo the lead singer and guitarist from the band Weezer, who states “I got different companies contacting me all the time trying to get me excited about their products, and most of the time I just don’t care. But this particular application, the Indaba Music Console caught my fancy.”
We are looking to unleash this beast by July, so keep an ear out and get ready to experience a whole new fantastic face of indaba Music. It will be like nothing you’ve ever seen before!
(Anyone looking to hire an ex-EVP?)

Did I say by July? I meant IN July as it says in the video! Hang tight as we're working on final touches. Please remember, as with all new releases we expect to have a few bugs to work out in this first version of the console. Once the console is launched, we will start a forum where we can all report any issues we might find - we would love all your input. We want to get version 2.0 to you as soon as possible and we are excited to be working on this with you!

This is brilliant news!
I have a feature request. Please include an ability to "split" a sound file. For example, after we record something, please let us split or trim unneeded parts of the file.
June 20, 2009
Thanks you all, yall is the best somthing new for the world new look and upgrade i just can't wait god bless indablog music yo boya 88 gone.
June 19, 2009
[laugh/lachen] Du bist ja nett, minime. Waere aber vielleicht besser wenn ich manchmals ein deutschsprechenden Land besucht haette. I think you should record a version of Sting's piece to celebrate the new console...
June 19, 2009
Hahahahahahaaaaaaa :-) Wink works very good :-)
Dein Deutsch ist wunderbar David :-) (wink) You are the "German man in New york"
You know the song from Sting? It starts with " I don't drink coffee I take beer my dear.............hahahahahahaaaaaa :-)
June 18, 2009
David - Is there no way to say "wink" in German?!
June 18, 2009
Wow! This looks fantastic! I joined Indaba about 3 months ago and thought, "This is cool, but it would be amazing if I could record music." Well, my wishes have come true! I especially like that fact that you can actually download the software instead of just using it on the internet. Can't wait, I just want them to give an set release date.
June 18, 2009
VERY FINE ! ! !
June 18, 2009
minime, doch kann man noch ohne unsere Console arbeiten, aber warum moechte man deise Welt? [wink]
June 17, 2009
of course!
June 14, 2009
I only hope that the users can still work WITHOUT the Console so like it is now with the version 1 !
June 12, 2009
"WOW" This sounds GREAT! I cant wait to check it out!
Steve.
FELSITE.

"leave whining about 'proprietary versus open' to linux geeks living in their parents' basement."
Thanks for those enlightening words, Bruce Bullis. It's just darling that you care so deeply about how other people live.
June 11, 2009
woah, i wan't to try this out...can't wait to see what it'll do
June 11, 2009
This certainly changes the idea of what a web browser should/can do. Keep up the good work!
June 11, 2009
Looks pretty freakin sweet! Cant wait to see what it's capable of.
June 11, 2009
This looks really great! Cool looking interface and the feature set looks really impressive. As usual, setting the standard - congrats Indaba! If anyone is looking for open source in-browser mixing software (also using Java), check out mixblendr.com
June 10, 2009
Are we talking, like, Pro Tools without the cost and without any hardware at all? THAT would be cool. SM
June 10, 2009
It will be realy a great great great thing
June 10, 2009
Now EVERYBODY on the planet can have a Home Recording Studio!
Most triumphant Mantis! :)

Livingtolove's comments about Flash vs. JavaFX are uninformed. Use whatever it takes to do the job, and leave whining about 'proprietary versus open' to linux geeks living in their parents' basement.
June 10, 2009
the software seem like a great idea...... only one thing puzzles me....
if you guys understand about sound , then why is the vocal over dub so very poor...??? he sounds like he is in pain or some thing and cant wait to stop......!! derrrrrr..??
June 10, 2009
that looks pretty serious!
June 10, 2009
Great! now if you had the technology to make your website fit the browser, that would be an achievement.
June 10, 2009
it looks fantastic. excited to try it!
June 10, 2009
JavaFX huh? I haven't tried it yet but I assume this is all platform independent stuff, looking forward to trying it out!
June 10, 2009
can't wait to test it :)
usually I use offline software to mix indaba submissions... maybe this will change...
June 07, 2009
Even tho i'm quite happy w/ my Nuendo... i might just havta check this out.... GUI lookin more colourful and crisp.... good work up in Indaba headquarters...
June 07, 2009
Well F*ing fantastic! I was hoping something was about to give. And it was YOU! Thanks for giving!
Peace Out, The Compusician
June 06, 2009
Way to go Indaba!
I was using Audacity ( kinda for kids console )
That might make me switch to Indaba console and improve the quality of my collaborations!!
Thanks..Can't wait to use it!
Peace

Brilliant, Absolutly Brilliant. Go Team Indaba.
June 06, 2009
Nice... keep pushing the envelope and we will follow!
June 06, 2009
I think it is really great that you people chose to use Sun's open source cross platform Java programming language. Rather than Adobe's proprietary Flash. I would very much like to see Indaba move to completely open source and open standards. Moving to the upcoming HTML5 specification for music and video playback would be much better than using Adobe Flash.
June 06, 2009
wow...... Thanks
