Rocket only supports Logic, Cubase and Protools.

 

Many of us use different programs, or analog gear, so Rocket doesn't help us in this project.

 

The SSS has a lot of traffic, so that just naturally seemed like the right place to start this. But I didn't initiate it, Lawrence F did. So, I guess you could ask him directly why he didn't start the project here in the Track Exchange.

 

Hey, I'm one of the biggest supporters of this forum, the Track Exchange. Just ask Nursers. I've hooked up with a couple different people here for collaborational puposes. It's really cool. But that mixing project fits well in the SSS forum, if you asked me, which I think you did. :)

Hey fellers,

 

I'd like to try to collab with y'all...

 

I'm not Rocket-able, though,

I use an MX-2424/DA7 set-up...

 

Perhaps after some details are worked out re:

transferring files on the SSS Mix Project,

we could apply those methods for these

potential collaborations...

 

The idea of working 'virtually'

with you guys is very intriguing...

It'd be great to eventually compile

an entire CD's worth of stuff made by

people living all over the world who

have never met each other...! :P

 

Thanks for all your spearheading & trailblazing,

3 main reasons.

 

1. I didn't want to pay money to upload.

2. I tried to demo Rocket a while back and it didn't work out too well for me.

3. Some people don't use daws.

 

I'd like to see someone put up a fast server for audio collaboration that's free. With the sheer amount of traffic they'll get there shouldn't be any problem making advertising dollars.

 

As it stands I'm not gonna pay to share files with anyone when I can set up a local server/ftp for free. It's just too easy to do without Rocket to go through all of the trouble. Especially with that cool compression program (Shorten) DBunny told us about.

 

Just my opinion. I'm sure it works well for others.

I see why Lawrence F didnt want to use Rocket Network. It cost too much.

These are typical pricing scenarios according to Rockets pricing page. http://www.rocketnetwork.com/html/rocketdelivery/pricing.html

(1) Three minute, 16 track, 24 bit, 44.1 kHz song

File Size (MB) 360

1 Recipient $ 18.03

2 Recipients $ 28.08

3 Recipients $ 37.44

4 Recipients $ 46.80

 

$46.80 X 10 = $468.00!!!!!

 

(1) Audio CDRs worth of material

File Size (MB) 700

1 Recipient $ 30.39

2 Recipients $ 48.30

3 Recipients $ 64.40

4 Recipients $ 80.50

 

$80.50 X 10 = $805.00!!!!

 

You can see that to send 3 min. of 16 tracks to 40 people would cost almost $500.00!

Even at $1.00 per CD/R and $1.00 per for postage, you could send out 250 CDs!

$18.03 for one file is kinda high, I therefore conclude, Rocket Network is strictly for professionals who can justify these costs versus the cost of FedX.
