Possible solution: First everybody plays to the same click track without hearing each other. Then everybody plays the same thing again but this time hearing what others played during the first round.
This can be repeated as many times as wanted. On 3rd time you will hear what others played during the 2nd round and that is presumably better played than what they played the first time when they only heard the click-track.
Thus you can "jam" with the other musicians the way they were last time around.
Something like a live recording session? Where the musicians input is synchronized and gets streamed into the DAW of each participant so they can mix their own version. This could be fun.
During the first lockdown I watched a demo video of a remote VST plugin combo that allowed the recording artist to record his vocals, and the recording engineer to manipulate the audio each from their own homes.
Yes, but sort of decentralized. I can play with any combination of recordings that were recorded over each other. There’s some neat graph theory stuff in there.
There is an iOS version available now too, which has inbuilt synths and effects but also allows external sources. That in essence means people are doing exactly that!
The app is alot of fun even with little musical ability. With studio it seems they're trying to achieve your vision but in the DAW.
The flaw here is when one musician makes a timing mistake, the others may play off it as they naturally would while jamming, but then the mistake is compounded. Similar to a copy of a copy, the flaws are amplified.
