3 apps for professional online music collaboration

During the pandemic, many musicians faced the problem of working on a piece remotely. Despite the high-quality and high speed of the Internet, even the slightest delay in sound transmission will interfere with work. And in such cases, you need to use special utilities that help you play and compose music online together with your colleagues.
