Comment Re:How will they deal with lag (Score 1) 84
As an amateur musician (25 years) I can tell you that live music will always be live music and everything else will be a compromise. Everyone who has been to a concert knows that there is a feeling live music has and it can't be duplicated. The sheer distance between musicians dicatates a delay that can't be overcome. Even if you could, it would be much more expensive than airplane tickets and hotel rooms, so what is the point? Here's where this thing really pays off. If you want to play with a famous musician, the delay might be tolerable in a lesson-format. (I play, then you play) This would give musicians the ability to learn from other musicians all over the world. In my mind this piece of "Internet History" is technology mis-applied. How about guitar lessons with Al DiMeola or drum lessons from a percussionist in Soweto? True interaction in something-less-than-real-time would be very valuable here.
