EKK:LoFi Sounds in HiFi Spaces/Making connection/LINE: Difference between revisions

The control that the user is given through line is actually non-existent.  We believe that is because the application is based on its smart phone use where the control of levels during a voice call is just volume control. The user can not even choose which microphone to use or control the volume of the incoming call.  All of this must be done through the computer settings.

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.  Our first attempt at measuring the latency was accomplished by looping the tone Ives was sending to me back to him through a hard computer on my laptop.  Considering my basic skills of sound design, once I download SoundFlower we were able to patch the sound in a much cleaner way.  Since in our set up the sound was being sent from Ives to me and then back to his computer where he used his own to read the latency, we had to split the time in half because of the round trip it was making.
