Language and music Feb 6, 2014

Neuroscience found evidence that the processing of music and language depend on some of the same brain systems, so a translator who makes music makes sense!

Musical translators are not that common Feb 6, 2014

If the the translation contest - the Kristofferson/Cash song Sunday Morning Comin' Down - is anything to go by, then translators are not lyricists, by-and-large. In all the (several) languages I can understand, it is quite rare to find a translation that would go with the music.

Playing together online while social distancing with close to no lag Sep 23, 2020

Hello to all,

I stumbled upon a method that allows musicians to play together online. This method allows to keep the lag under 30 ms if the network quality is good and if musicians are less than 500 miles from each-other.
It’s a project called Jacktrip and developed by Stanford University.
It requires a bit of technical knowledge to set up. Nothing mad hard though.
A: setup a virtual server on the main machine
B: Port forwarding on the main machine

Hello to all,

I stumbled upon a method that allows musicians to play together online. This method allows to keep the lag under 30 ms if the network quality is good and if musicians are less than 500 miles from each-other.
It’s a project called Jacktrip and developed by Stanford University.
It requires a bit of technical knowledge to set up. Nothing mad hard though.
A: setup a virtual server on the main machine
B: Port forwarding on the main machine
C: other players connect via IP address.
D: System is setup via command prompt
E: works on Windows, Mac, Linux (no handheld devices to my knowledge)

Only the audio is routed through this method. Then video can be connected via Zoom, Skype etc.
Here are the resources:

I am not surprised Sep 23, 2020

Language = music!

Don't we all try to 'compose' fluent texts/sentences? (where possible of course)

By the way, I too have a musical background.
