 ==Sound Quality==
-Both of us were very impressed with the quality and latency of the call.  Neither of us had a hard time hearing each other or experienced drop off through volume changes or latency.  We found that the latency of the application was varying between 50-80 ms which we thought was pretty accurate considering the quality we were hearing.

+==Exploration==
+We were unsuccessful in our ways to use this software creatively because of our limited time working together and our feeling the quality of the call was good enough that any attempt at playing sound together would sync successfully instead of finding distinct sounds created through its short comings.  The lack of user manipulation really left us with a clean and steady video call that would actually be useful in sharing clean sounds from one person to another in another country.
