  • low latency software for group singing online

    This describes some software called Jamulus, which I'd never heard of
    before and am unfamiliar with now. But it apparently lets groups of
    even 100 people sing together with apparently better sense of unison
    than with conferencing products (presumably meaning Zoom).

    This was one of the first of its kind that actually caught on (earlier
    products like Res Rocket Surfer sort of worked but didn't come around
    at the right time). It was actually very popular for the some of the
    filk events taking place during Covid. I think now that people are
    actually going to conventions again, it's less important, but it's
    good not to forget.

    There's still a lot of online filksinging, including Festival of the
    Living Rooms, Friends of Filk Bytes, Eurofilk, and MASSFILC. The problem
    is that its main value is in bringing together people who are
    geographically far apart. If the participants are thousands of miles
    from each other, I don't think anything can bring latency down to levels
    usable for group singing.
