Is NTP precise enough for this? I thought timestamps are usually in milliseconds, but audio sampling rates can be fractions of a millisecond? If you're off by a little, won't it create weird echoes or interference in the sound ?
- dghlsakjg 2y agoSound travels at 1 foot per millisecond roughly (standard atmospheric conditions). So a soundfeed with multiple microphones several feet apart already have this issue.
- solardev 2y agoBut that's actually part of the signal (useful information), isn't it, like for stereo or spatial recording setups? Presumably each performer or instrument's delay is a function of its distance to different microphones. vs NTP-introduced errors, which are just noise and not part of the intentional recording?
