My problem is that i can't achieve a low enough latency to have a useful patch in a live performance setting. so i have a few questions, if i can get as many of you to answer them, maybe we can have a standard setup for this type of processing (i apologize if this is common knowledge to many pders):<br>
<br><ul><li>in terms of processor capacity, hardware, and sound card configuration, what would be the minimum requirements to achieve unnoticeable latency (not hear the affected signal as a slap-back type of effect)? i've read that 11ms can be achieved and is unnoticeable.</li>
<li>what is your setup for live processing? what do you think is the ideal setup for live processing? (i'd like you read Miller's thoughts on this)<br></li><li>what do you think will be the next big step in making sound art, be it musical, online group performances, new interfaces, whatever? (kind of a personal question, i know, but bear with me)</li>
</ul>My thoughts on the last question: i'm intrigued by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photonics" target="_blank">photonics</a>, from what i understand, the amount of information handled is gargantuan when compared to electronics, and that would mean that electronic musicians (or would we then be photonic musicians?, sounds catchy) would no longer have to consider the limitations our equipment when composing/performing and our imagination would truly be the only limitation. sorry if i seem romantic about it, but it seems like such an interesting possibility. <a href="http://emusician.com/futuretech/photonics_technology_electronic_musicians/" target="_blank">here</a>'s an article by EM<br>
