Network Details

The future of music collaboration

The Almost Islanders Network is a system of tools and servers centered around better collaboration and communication in music development. With the help of our partners listed below, and a carefully modified collection of open source software, I aim to provide an all encompassing solution for the many problems we're all plagued with. Free of charge!

I've spent countless hours, and wads of cash to bring this project to you all. No strings attached, no data harvesting, no ads, no bullshit. My only hope is to increase the prosperity of the greater music community by making this network and set of tools available to you all.

NDI Servers

High-Speed Audio Transmission

Our Network is optimized from the ground up to help you connect massive NDI sessions through commercial IP.

Sonobus Servers

Private AOO Servers

Private AOO servers for Sonobus. Enjoy the Sonobus you know without all the random people you don't.

RTPMidi Servers

Studio-to-Studio MIDI

Connect MIDI from one studio to another, for the ultimate collaborative workflow.

Storage

Purpose Built Cloud Storage

Boutique file storage built for music and media. Enjoy tailored cloud services with built-in high quality audio player.

The Network Consists Of:

Connection Dashboard

Centralized control for all network connections and monitoring.

Artist Package

Simplified toolset specializing in quick connections without sacrificing quality.

Engineer Package

Every piece of (free) software I've ever found useful in my many years of working remotely.

NDI Bridge

Permanent NDI bridge for real-time transfer of audio files from DAW to DAW (Optional Fiber-Optic VLAN backhaul).

ASIO Web Nodes

Real-time listening through the web with ASIO to web nodes.

Musical File Storage

Built-in music player, timestamp-comment system, and revision tracking.

"But Troy, why would you do this?" I hear you ask. I honestly believe the standardization of collaboration amongst groups of artists and engineers will be so profitable for us all I'm willing to invest in it now.

Welcome to the new game friends, It's a wild one.
