I am not a musician or music producer but I like bandlab a lot. But only on mobile because the browser version is simply unusable on my linux (whether it's Chromium or Firefox.

If you want to know what a musically inept person can produce with it check out the first two songs (VRWorkout and Happy Workout) in the VRWorkout non-VR demo mode here https://vrworkout.at/game

If you are on mobile that won't work because it has not touch controls but here is the link to the files in the github repo https://github.com/mgschwan/VRWorkout/tree/master/godot_proj...

Anyone know what the current state of the art is for live remote jamming and collaboration? Are the latencies anywhere close to being low enough to play in time with others (I'm thinking distances of about 200 miles)

Yeah, I'd like to know this too. Our choir is facing remote rehearsals for the foreseeable future... as I understand it, if you want latency low enough for live jamming, you need purpose-built networking equipment.

See https://jammr.net/howitworks.html for a clever workaround, but I wonder if it is that great....

Checkout Jacktrip. Worth the effort however it's not user friendly. For user friendly, the options are limited if you also want low latency. Jamkazam is one of the best bets there.

Needs a video or something to explain what it actually does. "Cloud-Based Social Music Creation Platform" is just marketing nonsense. I'm guessing it's a DAW that runs in-browser, but I can't tell. I'm not going to bother to sign up to find out.

Free use of a DAW (what used to be Sonar), and a social media platform for sharing music. I imagine it's competing with bandcamp/soundcloud/splice simultaneously.
