Synchronized display and performance mapping of musical performances submitted from remote locations
First Claim
1. A system for creating an ensemble of a set of remotely-performed and remotely-uploaded musical performances through a computer network, the system comprising:
- a processor operably connected to a memory on a non-transitory computer readable medium;
a receiving module operable for receiving audio data from a musical submission and a second musical submission on a non-transitory computer readable medium;
an integration engine embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the integration engine is operable to interface the timing of a musical submission with the timing a second musical submission using a timing reference track that includes a tempo map in the creation of an ensemble; and
a display module operable for displaying the ensemble;
wherein the timing reference is selected from the group consisting of;
a click-track;
a drum track;
a select reference track of a select reference performance, , the select reference performance having a series of sound frequencies, each of the frequencies performed at a particular time in the select reference performance;
a residual audio track representing a multi-track digital audio file of a musical work having the select reference performance removed, the residual audio track having a series of sound frequencies, each of the frequencies performed at a particular time in the residual audio track; and
,a combination thereof.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for assembling and displaying a visual ensemble of musical performances that were created and uploaded from one or more locations that are remote from a host of the network, a director or other administrator reviewing submissions for selection and assembly, or perhaps merely remote from one or more other submissions received over a computer network. The assembled performances include a plurality of submissions, the submissions including performances created and uploaded at one or more locations remote from the location of the director for the assembly and display over the computer network. Systems and methods are also included for mapping one performance against another performance qualitatively, quantitatively, in real-time, or some combination thereof, enabling a musician, or a reviewer of performances, in the assessment of one performance relative to another performance.
