Optimizing for remote recording

The initial established peer-to-peer connection between groovers includes a default added peer-to-peer jitter buffer to compensate for any network connection irregularities. These default peer-to-peer settings are optimized for remote recording. 

The session creator can control these settings for each Groover in the P2P Connection settings window. This allows for session connections to be optimized for multi-channel uncompressed audio remote recording, monitoring, and real-time synchronous performance.

Once a successful connection with other groovers has been established, the session creator can click the refine button next to the connected Groover’s stage name to open the Groove link P2P connection settings window.

The P2P Connection Settings window offers several additional options available, which include:

  1. The number of channels that can be established between the connected Groover and the session host.
  2. The audio bit rate resolution.
  3. The redundancy of the signal exchanged between the Groover and the session host.
  4. The sound quality buffer processing for both the Groover and the host. This jitter buffer setting directly affects the quality and latency the two groves experience while connected. By selecting a lower jitter buffer value, you can lower the latency to the lowest possible value.

It is important to note that if the internet connection is unstable or the groves are connected over WiFi instead of a wired ethernet connection, lowering the jitter buffer may result in audio crackling pops and dropouts.

When using a stable internet connection, we recommend trying different values until the optimal setting is reached. Usually, when both groovers have a stable connection, using a value of 6 or 8 for the jitter buffer will result in a clear uncompressed audio connection at the lowest possible latency.

If you are experiencing an unstable internet connection, we suggest trying one or all of the following:
        - increasing the jitter buffer;

        - refining each peer-to-peer connection by reducing the number of channels per groover connection

        - doubling the packet redundancy
