I did enough of that years ago (80s) that I understand what you are |
11 |
talking about. However, back then, it wasn't computerized, or more |
12 |
correctly, they were just starting to really get into it, with live |
13 |
computer processing at concerts, etc, but that was expensive pro stuff at |
14 |
the time, way past my piddly little "running the mixer for the praise and |
15 |
worship at the church" level. |
16 |
|
17 |
But between that and my general computer knowledge now, I appreciate the |
18 |
effect latency has on a product, and why there simply can be no |
19 |
compromise. I didn't and don't expect that you /would/ run an emerge |
20 |
while doing that, no way, Jose, as they say, but was simply illustrating |
21 |
the point that you /could/ or /almost/ could anyway. Not that you ever |
22 |
/would/, but that if it's good enough to deal with /that/ sort of thing, |
23 |
it should be a walk in the park for the stuff you /will/ be wanting and |
24 |
needing it to do. |
25 |
|
26 |
Anyway, the topic of sound engineering is still interesting enough to me |
27 |
that I love to hear or read people that are still in it talking about |
28 |
it. So I really appreciated your post. Plus, I know enough about it |
29 |
from then, and about computers now, that if the opportunity/need comes my |
30 |
way, I could jump back into it again, and then I /would/ be using all |
31 |
I've read about Jack, Ardour, low-latency kernels, etc, putting it all to |
32 |
use and asking people like you for pointers. =:^) |
