I am planning on using netsend/netreceive since they seem to do what I need
them to and they are already part of PD. OSC would be best in the long run,
but it seems like its a bit beta still. I plan on using multiple computers
because I want to space the speakers every 75 meters or so along the 500
m tunnel. Running audio cables 500 m isn't really feasible, but ethernet
can do 100m cable lengths. I'll have a hub or router every 100m. (FYI:
PD does support multiple audio outs).<br>
<br>
Also, currently I am not too concerned with latency since its probably going
to be a prerecorded bit played back, rather than a live performace. That
can come later. I might choose OS X because I am getting a bunch of Macs
for this project that I might want to use for other things in the future.
Linux is an option too. I am not concerned with the OS really since PD
works for me on both platforms.<br>
<br>
Has anyone seen anything like this implemented before? I am mainly looking
for examples of spacialization in such a setup, plus how to control it all
once its setup.<br>
