We’re hard at work on the next version of FarPlay. If you haven’t already, upgrade free to the latest version.
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 studio-quality single live in FarPlay, not separately, giving them the opportunity to relate organically in real-time. Listen to the stellar single on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, or 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.
