Recent advancements in web-based audio systems have
enabled sufficiently accurate timing control and real-time
sound processing capabilities. Numerous specialized music
tools, as well as digital audio workstations, are now accessible from browsers. Features such as the large accessibility of
data and real-time communication between clients make the
web attractive for collaborative data manipulation. However, this innovative field has yet to produce effective tools
for multiple-user coordination on specialized music creation
tasks. The Multi Web Audio Sequencer is a prototype of
an application for segment-based sequencing of Freesound
sound clips, with an emphasis on seamless remote collaboration. In this work we consider a fixed-grid step sequencer
as a probe for understanding the necessary features of crowd-shared music creation sessions. This manuscript describes
the sequencer and the functionalities and types of interactions required for effective and attractive collaboration of
remote people during creative music creation activities.
