Imagine you are editing sound for a TV program. You work together with the show runner, music supervisor, and director to get the sounds just right. You play portions back together several times discussing how every note and every effect should be timed with the video. But what happens when those teams are immediately dispersed for weeks thanks to COVID-19? Ameen Abdulla had already created a platform for just this type of remote collaboration. It's called Soundwhale. He schools Music Tectonics host Dmitri Vietze on all the tools you need--from video chat to remote synced audio-video review--to keep the work flowing, even when team members are far apart.
