dan rudin radio page

radio.danrudin.com

Our password protected Radio page enables clients to remotely listen to progress on their projects. Featuring a real-time, high quality stereo audio stream and an integrated Jabber chat room, clients can monitor and participate in sessions from anywhere in the world. Singer in NYC, drummer in Miami, Manager in Milan? No problem! Everyone logs in and chats directly to our studio and each other, all from a web browser.

ftp.danrudin.com

My on-site FTP server is a good way to exchange large numbers of files. There are no limits on file size or number of files. It is easy to use and can be accessed from the link above or with any FTP client. User names and passwords are issued on a per-project basis.

If you choose to use an ftp client, for MacOS I recommend using Fetch ($25) or Cyberduck (free)
For Windows I like CoffeeCup Free FTP 4.0

Source-Connect

Source-Connect enables audio connections between digital audio systems anywhere in the world, allowing direct-to-the-timeline recording with real-time, broadcast-quality audio using only T1, Cable, or DSL internet connections.

This e-solution lets me interface with studios and talent all over the world.
 
 

chatz

Chat

We frequently use iChat and Skype for instant communication. Both feature voice and/or video as well as text chat, and you can drag and drop files for quick exchange.

yousenditplane

yousendit

yousendit is an online file exchange service. You have to sign up for an account (Free, Pro or Business) and then you upload your files with the email address of recipient and, presto, they get an email with a download link. Slower than our ftp server, but a great option.

webmixscreen

webmix.us

webmix is an e-solution that makes high-quality, professional music mixing easily available to a wide range of people.
The flat-fee and e-commerce basis of the site eliminates some of the difficulties that artists and producers face when approaching a top-notch mix engineer. And this is not cookie-cutter mixing… the webmix input form insures that you get the right mix for you.
