Throw away most of your previous concepts of remote session recordings for this blog article. This will be a detailed, inside tour of SoundStreak, as told by its CEO, Dan Caligor...and he admits, "...it takes people a while to Grok this." Most of you know of my interest in technological advances...
Even though it's been in beta since somewhere back at the end of the last decade, SoundStreak is enjoying a resurgence. Mentions of voice artists testing the product are showing up on plenty of online forums. I blogged about SoundStreak on Feb 13th, excited about the possibilities, only to find...
