Jamming Over Internet In Real Time-Is That Possible??

i looked into realtime audio sharing over the internet as well -- unfortunately now it does not seem feasible because of the latency and bandwidth requirements.

the reason MIDI is more feasible, is because it has much lower bandwidth than audio.

While on the subject, I have mixed records online via MSN Messenger's Voice Chat..

Basically you both have the voice chat mic running from you mixer out put, and the audio output running though a channel on the mixer. Always have that channel up on the mixer.

I wish I had the funds to invest in some serious shortwave radio equipment... analog signal transmission (no buffers), point to point (no frame relays, or routers), and damn near the speed of light... With the right kind of gear on either end you could jam with someone thousands of miles away with nearly no latency and great fidelity.

that shortwave idea is fascinating...

also, this digital musician thing shows promise.

this was done in 2001, although over internet2 - not a normal internet connection - at NYU.

using the regular internet, you won't be able to do real time audio because of bandwidth and latency. your best bet it midi, and even that has issues.

although - i did just read the above article.. maybe it is doable these days.. i'm thinking there is a catch however.
