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

For me, disturbing starts at a frame rate of 256/2 which means round
about 10ms. That is the point were it seems that my brain starts to lock
ahead. With a setting of 128/2 (5ms) I've no problems at all. I'm not
sure, if I'm able to notice lower latency at all.
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
