Cute, novel, technically impressive from a web design perspective.
But does it have AISO low latency audio driver support? Lets not even get into the latencies websockets are going to create. Even if you set something like this up on a LAN, the latencies would still be too high for any truly professional musician.
Dont expect anything like this being used by any real musicians anytime soon, even minus the websockets collaborative part.
Still very cool though. But I still wait for a day when something like Rock Band or Guitar Hero actually has professional low latency audio that could seriously be used live on stage by a band with sub 10ms audio latencies.
If rockband and guitar hero cant even do that, I'm not holding my breath for chrome anytime soon, especially in a networked situation.
- robin_reala 14y agoPresumably the WebMIDI authors are thinking about latency? http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-webmidi-20121025/ http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-webmidi-20121025/
- mcmire 14y agoAh what I didn't know there was a WebMIDI draft... do any browsers plan to support this?
- robin_reala 14y agoChris Wilson is an author of this and at Google so I guess Chrome at least will implement. No idea beyond that.
- noiv 14y agoIt appears to me you've excluded some cognitive capabilities of musicians. Music is all about timing and anticipation. Let's say you have an instrument e.g. drums which actually emits its sound a little time/milliseconds after the hit. That doesn't stop you to perform accurately with a band, and only little adaption is required. I'm strongly looking forward 'World Music' gets redefined.
