To say, hey, this room has a nice acoustic, really great live atmosphere. A question I've asked before, but don't remember getting an answer to. Are people overthinking the whole issue of latency? How did the 1920's Big bands manage - spread across a stage? What about a theatre organist playing an instrument where different ranks have different time delays, from a few milliseconds to nearly half a second? You can invent clinical tests where it's easy to detect this, but has anyone played with a real-world complete mix to discover how far out a mix has to be before it becomes noticeable. I once did a basic comparison of played arps against the same track quantised, and (with A/B testing) was surprised at how far out it could be before I could tell which was which - especially if the 'drift' was slow and across several bars. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
