Default Rehearsal with band over ninjam?

Hello!

I have played thru ninjam with others and that was cool. Then I thought it would be great to have a rehearsal with my band and also record all so that we can analyze the recording.

Because I wanted to see how ninjam copes with latency I read how ninjam works - how data is synchronised against a distributed clock, intervals, etc.

Also have tested with my equipment - two computers connected to the same room on server. On the first computer keyboards were connected, and second computer guitar. Latency was bout 3 seconds between.

So I thought (example) - If the drummer starts to play others will hear that 3 seconds later. Then I and all others will start to play. What I play I hear that immediately, but 3 seconds later i will hear what others play. Drummer hears that 6 seconds later.

If I am right, it is impossible to play anything in a predetermined form or?

PS
Sorry for my bad English

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I just now saw that I put in the wrong subforum - my bad.

Ninjam doesn't measure anything in seconds. You have to think in terms of beats. One interval has "n" beats. One minute has "n" beats. These are "BPI" (beats per interval) and "BPM" (beats per minute) respectively.

The "latency" is the way NINJAM works - all playing is aligned to the interval, so it's in time. If you have four bars of four beats (16 BPI), every one can play in time.

Unless you're on a local network or live within a few hundred miles of each other, internet latency will be painful.
