have you ever jammed online with others in real time?

not just sending a track and adding a track, but virtual jamming? also,
those new quiet electronic drumsets are cool! I saw a setup at Sam Ash last month, very quiet. you can jam anywhere, anytime, by yourselves, or with the whole band: http://www.ejamming.com/

I am considering this in the far future...

Not practical at all. It is impossible to reduce latency, it is what it is. Light can only travel so fast, regardless of bandwidth. In a 2 participant scenario with a drummer setting the beat, the guitarist could play along in time with the transcoded signal, but to have it "sound" in time at all locations is just not possible and no technology can change that. So, it will never be true real time. You may be able to do it locally where latency is ~50ms, but overseas is going to bu upwards of 110-300ms latency which is going to be pretty hard to keep in time.

cool brutha, thanks for the insights

That's why you use ninjam. Its a plugin that comes with reaper. Basically it uses latency and extends it into musical timing so multiple people can jam in pseudo real time. Fun meeting people on there and tons of killer players. I use it to hammer out song ideas with my partner in Australia before we start tracking for real

sounds cool, you make it sound pretty simple, is it easy to set up even for software n00bs like me? do you just add a plugin track and it magically does the work? do you use it with http://www.ejamming.com/ or just use it alone somehow? sounds pretty killer working on stuff with a dude in Australia!!

Yeah its pretty straight forward. most basic set up is to run ninjam on your master track. The interface pops up and you can connect to a room. you can even pan and level everyone in the room how you like.

Man I remember jamming over the AIM talk function like 8, 9 years ago. So much lag, but lots of fun at the time.
