In a recording project a few years back I looked at track waveforms and found that when my drum tracks were within 5ms of the other players, then we sounded really tight. But, when we wandered by 25ms from each other, then we started to sound sloppy. This isn't specifically a latency issue. I bring it up just to give some sort of feeling to the numbers. Later recordings of Steely Dan might be in the sub 10ms tightness zone, though I haven't looked. Greenday might be greater than 50-75ms on some of their stuff. ;-) Which just goes to show that while there is engineering in all of this, there also is art and feel. I hope that's useful.... -- Kevin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
