|
INTRODUCTION:
|
|
|
|
The llcon software enables musicians to perform real-time jam sessions over
|
|
|
|
the internet. There is one server running the llcon server software which
|
|
|
|
collects the audio data from each llcon client software, mixes the audio data
|
|
|
|
and sends the mix back to each client.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The minimum internet connection speed at each client must be 128 kbps for up-
|
|
|
|
and downstream. To get satisfactory results, the ping time from the client
|
|
|
|
computer to the server should not exceed 40 ms average.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Llcon runs under Windows (ASIO), MacOS (Core Audio) and Linux (Jack). The llcon
|
|
|
|
software package includes both, the client and the server functionality which
|
|
|
|
can be selected by using command line arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For starting server type ./llcon -s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The audio is compressed with the CELT audio codec to ensure a low delay and a
|
|
|
|
low upload/download rate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For test purpose it is possible to run server and client on the same computer.
|
|
|
|
For this setup first start the server and then the client. Type in 127.0.0.1 for
|
|
|
|
the IP address in the client software.
