01 — The challenge
Where we started.
Remote bands were emailing audio files for weeks to finish a single song.
Tidal wanted the feeling of a shared room: everyone hearing the same take at the same moment.
02 — The process
Prototype the room
A clickable prototype in week one let musicians jam before a line of audio code existed.
Make it loud
A bold colour per track, so every player finds their part at a glance.
Design for lag
Visual cues cover network delay, so takes feel live even across oceans.
03 — The results
songs recorded
average time to the first take
countries in the beta
