Mudd Talks: Making Music Using Low-Latency Technology in the New Jersey Gay Men’s Chorus

During the pandemic, Zoom has been the answer for many organizations, but we struggled with audio transmission delays. A group of members from our chorus used low-latency technology, which minimized audio delays enough to allow us to sing to and listen to each other at the same time. At the end of 2020, chorus members started using Soundjack to transmit super low-latency audio. In the spring of 2021, we started using LiveLab to transmit low-latency video as well.

On Friday, 2021 November 12, Harvey Mudd College’s Office of Alumni and Parent Relations hosted Mudd Talks: “Making Music Using Low-Latency Technology in the New Jersey Gay Men’s Chorus.” David Liao (NJGMC bass section member) and Sarah Michal (Artistic Director, New Jersey Gay Men’s Chorus) gave a presentation including live demonstrations of singing using Soundjack and LiveLab.

The video recording of the session has been posted on Harvey Mudd College’s YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHuZggd_3Cc, and an accompanying website is at https://15til.com/talk.njgmc.
