We’re hard at work on the next version of FarPlay. If you haven’t already, upgrade to the latest version of FarPlay. Upgrading is always free!
A little housekeeping: Shortly after Apple released macOS Sequoia 15.0, reports of issues with different firewall and network software began popping up. If you’re running into networking issues on Sequoia, go to your Mac’s Local Network settings and flick the switch to give FarPlay permission, as shown on our forum.
What’s packet re-requesting, and what does it have to do with recording?
Musician, composer, and FarPlay co-founder Dan Tepfer talks about packet re-requesting, a powerful new feature in FarPlay 1.3 that helps you make pristine recordings over a wider range of connections. Read the transcript on our blog.
Variations on Twinkle Twinkle: No. 1
Speaking of pristine recordings, Johan Eriksson Rapp and Anders Teglund return to our newsletter with the first of a series of variations on “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”. They recorded the audio and video for this single live in FarPlay, not at separate times and then re-synched. Listen to the … stellar … single on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, and watch the video below.
Distansorkestern (“Distance Orchestra”) band members Johan and Anders are Swedish composers who use FarPlay to rehearse and record live from Falun and Kungsbacka, Sweden, 250 miles (400 km) apart.
