Sorry I wasn't clear on my previous post, how I meant by a lot of work, if it was automated it would need an auto limit of some kind, possibly auto eq which then timed by 6 to 8 people with possible mixing of 2 to 3 tracks a person into a stereo with these fx could be a bit much work for the machine with all the rest the machine has to handle like networking and codec stuff.
Sorry I wasn't too clear before.
If this wasn't done as a minimum then how crowded it can get atm it would be a lot more crowded sounding squashed to 1 stereo pair with no eq and limiting.
If the client took on some of the work it would be achievable keeping server load low, but with some machines just adding 2 fx can cause pops and clicks and then becomes a whole new set of issues to fix in the NINJAM community.
But the idea is good, would save on bandwidth and allow more to run servers on home connections.
Time stamp could probably be added to the reaninjam client easily enough, just a timed pulled from the local system time on ever received message and sent message then saved to an open file as a log.
Would be nice to have avatar icons eventually too, which could maybe be pulled from this forum board, this would encourage people to sign up to the forum to set an avatar.
:O its almost 2am, I'm off to bed.
