Trading soundclips simply?

[grooveway]

Look through some of the posts and think I get some of this but looking for some help.
My son who is a drummer and myself would spend time impromptu creating different grooves together. With all that's going on and the physical distance between us, we are looking for a way to do this remotely. I understand the latency thing and know that real-time will not be an option...
Ideally I would like to have him lay down a few minutes of a drum track send it to me and I put bass over it and send it back to him.
Looking for very basic low-tech here. Tone and great sound quality are not necessarily the goal just the fun of doing it. It could be as simple as a microphone on each end but not sure what to do with the sound file.
What do you all suggest?
He has a drum kit a laptop and a phone
I have a bass several amps a laptop and a phone
Thanks in advance

Sharing audio files is easy, google drive, dropbox, probably a thousand other options I dont know about. The trick is gonna be getting a workable recording of the drum set. Do either of you have recording software? Mics? You could pickup a small zoom field recorder for your son. They sound shockingly good for as cheap as they are, they record on their own, also act as an A/D interface for a computer, and have the condenser mics (stereo) built in.

If the phone audio is good enough to work over just get a voice recording app and share files.

We do not have any recording software. Maybe a mic or two here (most of my gear is either on the road or in storage)
I have an older tascam similar to the zoom but may spring for a couple zoom units.
So.... After he does a drum track and sends the file I would then play it back through a system and record the bass with the zoom setup in the room?

You could play the file over some sort of speakers and record yourself playing over it with a room mic or field recorder. I'm pretty sure those zoom units come with a multi-track recording program, and they'll act as an interface. You'll get better results importing the drum recording into software and recording bass direct. Audacity used to be available for free, and if your Mac folk you probably have garage band.

Thanks - that's the simple solution I was looking for!
