Even when jamming in my personal studio anything above 5ms latency on my electric drum set can be noticed. I have to lower the IO buffer size to about 64 samples to get above 5ms latency.
I would love to be able to jam with friends over long distances. For this to actually be enjoyable without frustration the latency would have to be no more than 5-10ms.
I wonder how much latency a local telephone call would use? Then maybe it is possible to set something up where you jam over the telephone line and each musician can hear each other just fine.
- jchrisa 12y agoOne way to do this is to jam based on a loop, so everyone can be off by one bar. I think there are some services that do this.

- e12e 12y agoI wonder if this would change if you were never allowed to play an instrument with less than 100ms lag (ie: from the time you started practising)? [I realize that such instruments as table tops and cutlery are readily available, but I wonder if restricting regular practice to an electronic instrument with artificial lag would counter this. Possibly the music would only be enjoyable to others who practised similarly..]
