With all the ongoing speculation about cloud computing, I suspect the next generation of DAWs will be browser plugins, but it'd sure be nice to have a simple single-screen interface for those over-the-net collaborations that are undoubtedly in the pipeline, once we have the bandwidth.

It's going to be a very long time before online DAWs are a realistic option.mojobone wrote:With all the ongoing speculation about cloud computing, I suspect the next generation of DAWs will be browser plugins, but it'd sure be nice to have a simple single-screen interface for those over-the-net collaborations that are undoubtedly in the pipeline, once we have the bandwidth.
Even with fast enough downsteam connections, latency would be a killer.

Cloud computing is a corporation-driven myth.
Local performance is and always will be better than network performance (it's actually impossible for it not to be, quantum computers notwithstanding (and then it'd be equal at best)) and it's unlikely that the average consumer will settle for less performance.
Perhaps networks and computers will reach a point where the difference in performance does not matter for the average consumer, but it's only corporations which profit from that idea (think yearly licensing instead of single-purchases).
My 2c.
