A question I've asked before, but don't remember getting an answer to.
Are people overthinking the whole issue of latency?
How did the 1920's Big bands manage - spread across a stage? What about a
theatre organist playing an instrument where different ranks have different time
delays, from a few milliseconds to nearly half a second?
You can invent clinical tests where it's easy to detect this, but has anyone
played with a real-world complete mix to discover how far out a mix has to be
before it becomes noticeable.
I once did a basic comparison of played arps against the same track quantised,
and (with A/B testing) was surprised at how far out it could be before I could
tell which was which - especially if the 'drift' was slow and across several
bars.
