What I would love would be a no latency audio chat for jamming, which also would record each channel.

I'm not sure how to solve the no latency issue. One solution maybe to force people to use looping, and then delay the other participants by a cycle. (This wouldn't really work for most song structures, but would for the target market of Blend.io).

Yeah, problem with that is that you would only hear what the other people are playing 1 loop in the future- the whole point about jamming (for me) is to adapt real time to what others are doing, so you couldn't do that

I started thinking about these problems and the best solution I could come up with is what we are building now: http://getbandhub.com which is not live - but async

We have an alpha now (video/demo in the link) an will be releasing a beta in a few weeks

Would love to hear some feedback

Check out http://www.collabramusic.com They are building a very cool product that allows you to jam with other musicians. Not quite real time...but it is extremely close and allows you to create various "versions" of songs with different musicians/instruments recorded right into the browser.
