@th3j35t3r does CoSo Call do video chat? How’s the latency? There’s plenty of musicians around here for a jam session/open stage.
@CanisPundit
Web chat platforms generally do not have low enough latency for remote ensemble performance. You need a specialized solution like https://www.jacktrip.com for that, and everyone should be on wired ethernet, using high quality external audio interfaces with direct kernel data streaming and wired headphones.
@CanisPundit
All of us who taught music through the lockdowns tried all of the other options, and unless every single person is doing what I described above, it doesn't work. All it takes is one person to be using Bluetooth headphones and they are out of time with the group.
@CanisPundit
Any system where you have more than about 30 ms round trip latency between collaborators doesn't work for remote ensembles. Jitter and packet loss play a part too, but the latency is most of the battle.
