While it isn't as mainstream as gaming, music production also requires a lot of local computing power. Even with ridiculous bandwidth, having a high fidelity sample streamed elsewhere, processed, and streamed back to you would be extremely slow. Not to mention, as a keyboard player or drummer, the latency would be atrocious if you tried to play a synth that was being computed in the cloud.
- digi_owl 9y agoTo be a bit of an ass, music production, at least in the sense of recording an actual musician performing in sync with previous recordings of same, is a damn close cousin to a game. But then more and more music production is someone dropping loops and samples into a time chart and iterating until satisfied. Hell, there are now software that allow a computer to basically take over vocals even.
