Hey, just wondering if there are Gobbler users here and is their accounts work properly ? Mine has been nothing but problematic since before the summer add the support isn't very effective. This morning when trying to log in I see this: "Hi Amin Site HttpS://www.gobbler.com We Ar Iranian Hackerz We Are Best Defacer Your Site Hacked By Mamad Warning All Database delete By Mamad Warning  )" I guess its just coincidental that this happens right when avid is launching its new cloud collaboration subscription service ? |

hahahaha. That's fantastic.
What's gobbler? Isn't that what slate uses for his subscription thing or something? Avid is using this too?

Gobbler is a cloud collaboration site specifically for music. You can share songs or whole sessions between people. It launched about 3-5 years ago and they have a free and paid service.
Slate uses it for delivery of his software subscription service.
Avid sued Gobbler a few years ago for allegedly stealing staff and or expertise. I need heard the outcome of that.
Gobbler had been working great for me until just before last summer.
Gobbler is now fully integrated with Logic and you can upload, backup and download from with in Logic.

Ahh, so this is gonna be a huge PITA for a lot of people. Bummer. I figured it was just Slates panties that were gonna be in a bunch. |

I remember checking out Gobbler a few years back and didn't see what what was so innovative about it. So what's the difference between Gobbler and sharing a Dropbox folder? What does "fully integrated" mean? I remember there was an app that I downloaded for it.

What does "fully integrated" mean? I remember there was an app that I downloaded for it. you can exchange PT sessions in minutes, and they're ready to go, no futzing around. Dropbox, not so much IME, always some sort of complication, I'm hoping the Avid cloud thing works out well, it could be their big comeback? I know some logic guys talking about doing the monthly thing to try out PT, once they do, they're gonna be hooked is my guess. |

Well in dropbox are you sharing a stereo file or the whole session so people can collaborate ?
By fully integrated I just mean you have drop downs with in Logic to interact with gobbler and to back up your session and to share it so its more seamless. This was just introduced with the current Logic upgrade 10.2.2 I think.

I checked out Gobbler when it was built into Sonar.
Seemingly they bought themselves in at the DAW companies for marketing reasons...
It did not work out for me at all. So i dropped this. Upload speed was much worse than Dropbox for me, maybe i am just unfortunate with my provider or the backbone from here or whatever.
As always. "The Cloud" is just internet data servers like there were many before. They are as secure or insecure as they always have been. If there are big server networks, huge amounts of data, many user accounts, sooner or later someone could find a way to shut it down or even take over due to using an exploit a bit faster than the security software/OS update. The script kiddies of yesteryear are the hackers of today.
They can shut down Sony's PSN, they can take down government and political parties webpages, They try to hack huge networks just for "fame". Or they intrude a whole bank network and steal more than hundred million Euro. They can, and they do. And this will never change, because it's always neck and neck, and each exploit/security vulnerability can only be fixed, after it has been found. The time between announcement of the vulnerability and the deployment of the fix to each and every server in the network is the gap that hackers can use. And sometimes they are first, finding a gap in the source code, which is in most cases open for the common internet server systems...
That's the simple truth.
100% data safety is utopic dreaming. Especially on the internet.

Wasn't so worried about it being hacked was wondering if there were any gobbler users here and if they were having any trouble just accessing their account and using it  |

Wasn't so worried about it being hacked was wondering if there were any gobbler users here and if they were having any trouble just accessing their account and using it I'm thinking the same thing. As far as relying on the site for back-up is concerned, what's the big deal? You can't store your files in too many places - this is just another one. And if/when the site goes down, you simply transfer to collaborators the old fashioned way. So I'm intrigued. The problem with transferring an entire project if often that the file size is often WAY too large, if Gobbler has a way of maintaining things such that edits or even file additions don't require re-uploading and downloading the entire project. That's significant. |

Perhaps I wasn't clear. I don't use G for storage. You can upload your session, email your recording friends, they can download your session; do their thing reupload and you can download the new session.
If you and your pals are using the same plugs you will be working in the same session.
So, my buddy Rick and I collaborate and both use Pro tools and/or Logic, Logic and UA plugs, so we can transfer our current sessions with our new parts, edits and or changes using G for free.

I use Gobbler, my account is fine. Most studios and session players I work with use it, because you can exchange large ProTools sessions. It's pretty much the standard for a lot of pro studios.

Honestly the main reason I use it is because a lot of other people in the industry use it, so like ProTools it's somewhat necessary.
And it just seems way more professional than DropBox when it comes to PT sessions. It has a better compression scheme, it organizes files and sessions better across multiple drives, it backs up, and lets you roll back to older versions of a session, you don't have to have sessions on your main hard drive, it's fast, and it just keeps things really organized in relation to working on a huge PT session remotely with other people.
I use DropBox for sharing a stereo bounce or something early in collaboration but just Gobbler when working remotely with session musicians. Gobbler just has a lot of little extras dialed in for the PT experience. It knows how to find files for sessions across multiple drives, and I've had trouble with DropBox locating them at times. Gobbler is just dialed in to interfacing with most DAWS so there are less things you need to worry about or troubleshoot, and it takes less of a drain on system resources.
There's probably a Gobbler social media rep out there that we could get to drop in and give some better details.
