This works for a listener down the chain, but obviously can't work for performers playing together. The article mentions a producer listening to remotely located performers as they were playing together, but fails to mention how these remotely located performers can sync to each other in the first place.
- FrancoisBosun 1y agoExplained in the article: > A producer sends a backing track to a performer - SyncDNA adds a slight delay to the outbound feed The "backing track" is probably the beat or something similar.
- curtisblaine 1y agoI still fail to understand why this is a thing. Two possibilities: 1) the beat is created live by a human performer who can't meaningfully hear the other performer(s) in time. He / she is stuck with playing blindly. 2) the beat is pre-recorded - sampled or electronically generated on a sequencer. Then what's the use case in the first place? The other performer can download it offline and play on it live. All this is done to get something that mimics a live performance (but isn't, because the band components can't hear each other in real time) to someone listen-only at the end of the chain. What's the advantage in doing so? What's the use case?
