Latencia alta
-
Hola, Hoy he utilizado por primera vez FARPLAY en una clase online y no hemos conseguido una latencia suficientemente baja para poder tocar a la vez. La configuración de hardware ha sido:
Versión gratuita FARPLAY. Distancia 100Km.
Profesor: Mac + Micrófono USB + conexión internet 1Gb por cable.
Yo: Intel I7 13ª generación + micrófono USB Maono pd400x + conexión internet 1Gb por cable.En Nuestra próxima sesión Utilizaremos la siguiente configuración:
Versión gratuita FARPLAY.
Profesor: Mac + Fosursite Solo 3ªGen + Micrófono de condensador + conexión internet 1Gb por cable.
Yo: Intel I7 13ª generación + AUDIENT ID14 + Microfono de condensador Audiotecnica + conexión internet 1Gb por cable.Podría ser suficiente para mejorar la latencia y poder tocar Juntos??
Podríais darme alguna sugerencia??
Nos gustaría hacerlo funcionar y contratar la suscripción.

Dear Juanma,
Thank you for your question. Yes, the new setup you and your instructor plan to use will let you play together. The important change is that you’re switching (on your PC) from the Maono PD400X USB mic to the Audient iD14, an audio interface with manufacturer-supplied ASIO drivers (Windows PCs need audio devices with ASIO drivers to get the lowest possible latency, unlike Macs, which have very low latency built in). Please do the following on your PC:
- Install the Audient iD14’s official ASIO drivers.
- Before your next lesson, set your audio up using “Step One: Get Ready” in the version of our QuickStart guide customized for Windows PCs with external audio interfaces.
- When the QuickStart guide asks you to click the “ASIO Buffer Settings” button, click the “iD” icon in your PC’s system tray (near date and time at bottom-right corner of screen). In the menu that appears, use the “Set ASIO Buffer Size” item to choose 16 samples (if that causes crackling, try 32 samples or 64 samples). Also use the Set Sample Rate item to check that the sample rate is 48kHz. See screen recording from Audient below.
Thank you,

Musicians in Spain and New York, for example, can perform jazz improvisation in which a vocalist floats over a pianist at a relaxed, laid-back tempo, like in this nice example performed from Chicago, U.S.A. and Paris, France (6700 km apart). On the other hand, fast, rhythmically precise music would be too hard for musicians in the U.S. and Europe to play together.
With good connections, you can get around 20 ms of latency over distances of around 1500 km. This is low enough to comfortably play a wide variety of styles together. How far you can play together depends on instrumentation and style. For examples and details, see our blog post here.
Thank you,
David LiaoDear Juanma,
Upgrading from a 1Gb wired connection to a 10Gb wired connection doesn’t make a noticeable difference in the distances over which you can play together. Both for 1Gb and 10Gb wired connections, you can play lots of styles together 1500 km apart, and you can play some slower, less rhythmically precise styles even 5000+ km apart, like in the examples linked above.
With both wired 1Gb and 10Gb connections, there’s plenty of bandwidth. The limitation is the speed of light, which takes a small, but musically noticeable, amount of time to travel across thousands of km. As you play with musicians who are farther and farther away, the delay increases (but the audio quality remains clear).
Thank you,
David Liao
