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

That is exactly it. When playing bass, I find that
once I am 30 feet away from the rest of the band
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
