There is almost no distance between the in-ear monitors and the ear so the latency here is basically non existent. As soon as the sound is produced – the person hears it. Now consider this guy who is using a pair of in-ear monitors.
What does it really translate to when playing on stage? Suppose the person on the left is approximately 10ft away from the speakers behind him. The speed of sound is approximately 1,000ft per second which basically means that it takes about 10 milliseconds for sound to travel from the speakers to the person’s ears.
What is latency? It’s simply the amount of time that passes between the sound being generated and perceived by your brain. How do you set your gear and Gig Performer to work for you, not against you?
By Nebojsa Djogo I hear the term “Latency” a lot when talking about audio processing.
