30 feet would be closer to 30ms, and is enough to make the feeling of
playing the note and the sensation of hearing it start to feel
disconnected.
Try this stuff for yourself: take your synth or guitar or bass or what have
you, plug it in to your computer, put a simple delay in the path with
something like jack_rack, and play. At some point it's going to start
feeling weird. Exactly where that point is depends on the person and the
nature of the sounds you are making.
Here's another thing you can do: fire up hydrogen and make a pattern which
is just a clave or cross stick playing quarter notes at a slow tempo. send
the output to both directly to your sound card as well as to an instance of
jack rack with a short delay. start increasing the delay time, by 30ms you
will hear a clear flam.

Dear All,
while I'm not an audio professional, I found the (emotional) discussion on

30 feet?, wouldn't that be on >80ms latency. If that's the order where
'disturbing' starts then
I find that number interesting, as (if I remember correctly) that's the
fastest scale a human can react.
Which brings me to my questions. It might be little bit of topic, but
does someone know numbers on the
time it takes between wanting to pay a tune, playing it (e.g. on a bass)
and the time it takes until one
realizes, that the tone is played? I think neurons switching time is of
the order of 1 ms, so the physical
feedback can take pretty long. Signal velocity in nerves is also not too
high. But brain might be cheating
in assuming having played. Is anything known concerning the latencies of a
musician?
Best regards,
Peter
