Science fiction - ethernet audio sync between 2 distant KPAs

waraba · Feb 4th 2013

I know this is pure science fiction ( but Gibson is working on the subject ), but once we got proper drivers it could be feasible :

imagine you are playing a riff on your KPA in california while a buddy is recording you in germany with the whole audio signal synchronised between the two KPAs on the internet. With the help of optic fiber we could even imagine real time sync for jams.

that would be mighty fun , and I'll be finally able to play satriani in playback on stage while Joe would stay at home and play for me

Are you kidding? With all the people complaining that 5ms of latency makes a product unusable??

Old stuff... Emagic RocketNet (I think) etc.
You can even DIY by using a VPN and AUNetSend/AUNetReceive.

It is more or less existing technology, but latency _will_ be there. It can only be corrected when playing to an third, common output the players don't hear (they only should hear the other musician and themselves).

Jamming with a real live band over the internet without a master click or so will never work even if there would only be 5 ms of latency for each participant.

What i would like to try is reamping or even profiling over the internet. Since the KPA compenates for latency this should not be any bigger problem. Does anybody know some software to do this?

That article is from 2003.
I think this is already tried and the latency issue can't be avoided, but it would be great if it could work.
Soon maybe we can teleport sound instantly
