“Multiple musicians a thousand miles apart from eachother can record music together in real time. My Connect Studio is how the future sounds”, said LL Cool J.

The artist explained that the software will actually help musicians become more interactive and allows them to record in a variety of methods. “Whether they want to record at home or bring the laptop with them inside the studio, it’s the artist’s decision”.
Pricepoints for My Connect range from $499 to $899. It is available at Sony retail stores nationwide and other authorized dealers. Special features of the Future Sounds My Connect Studio Package with the VAIO E 14P laptop include:

My Connect Studio will be available on smartphones and on other laptop providers. For now, LL explained, “ I just wanted to give everyone the chance to create music and make it as convienient as possible”. Thus, its safe to say music is what inspires this star.

Does My Connect Studio allow for video instrumental instruction to be done in real time with no delay?
If that is possible- I am in 100%. I am in a position to need to give lessons via long distances for weeks at a time. The lacking sound quality and the delay make the experience inferior to face to face teaching, although it is certainly better than nothing.
