    The Immediate Aspect of Radio

    by
    | Syndicated
    June 19, 2011
    Radio affects most intimately, person-to-person, offering a world of unspoken communication between writer-speaker and the listener. That is the immediate aspect of radio. A private experience. The subliminal depths of radio are charged with the resonating echoes of tribal horns and antique drums. This is inherent in the very nature of this medium, with its ...

    NINJAM is a ‘nearly realtime’ means of jamming online using synchronization based on a metronome or “click-track”.  Jamming requires musicians to remain in tune and sync with each other, but latency of online audio can cause sound delays between online players throwing the mix out of sync for everyone.
