Over a six-month period, Loren Feinstein drove to his local library afterhours to borrow wifi from his parked car. The signal can be spotty where he lives in the rural foothills of the Berkshire mountains in Massachusetts, but that didn\u2019t stop him from producing an album remotely with his Berklee Online classmates and instructor, Erik Hawkins.

\u201cI guess my biggest takeaway is that online collaboration is totally a viable way to produce music and even compose music,\u201d says Loren, who earned his advanced certificate through Berklee Online. \u201cIt was really cool to see that each person could add their own compositional style to a production and it could end up a cohesive body of work.\u201d

It was Hawkins\u2019 idea to bring together his students from across the globe to test out the Splice Studio<\/a> system. Splice primarily sells sounds and plug-ins, but this free feature on Splice Sounds allows musicians to co-write and co-produce remotely. Hawkins wanted to test the limits of online music collaboration. In a new video tutorial, Hawk shows viewers how to install and use Splice Studio with Ableton Live, though it will also work with other DAW programs such as Logic Pro X, FL Studio, Garageband, and Studio One.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
