Latency: The Invisible Killer of Your Audio Flow
Latency, it’s that tiny, annoying delay between what you say and what you hear back. In the studio, online, or even in your own headphones, it can trip you up, wreck your timing, and make you feel like you’re talking to yourself in slow motion.
In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, Robbo, AP, George, and Robert dig into:
-
What latency really is (and why it’s not just a tech buzzword)
-
How it sneaks into your recording chain
-
The difference between “good” latency and “bad” latency
-
Fixes you can do right now without buying a new rig
-
When hardware or interface upgrades actually make sense
Whether you’re a VO artist fighting through a remote session, a podcaster dealing with talkback lag, or a studio pro chasing perfect sync, this is your guide to killing the delay and getting back in the groove.
Proudly supported by Tri-Booth and Austrian Audio, we only partner with brands we believe in, and these two deliver the goods for pro audio pros like you.
🎙 Listen now and get ahead of the delay.

19
00:00:44,461 --> 00:00:49,132
And like should you say there is something
heading this way towards me?
20
00:00:49,841 --> 00:00:51,426
That's me from Austrian audio.
21
00:00:51,426 --> 00:00:55,472
Can't say anything yet, but, we'll be
giving that a whirl in weeks to come.
22
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:57,682
And I'm a little bit excited.
23
00:00:57,682 --> 00:01:00,268
I want to know. Can't tell you.
24
00:01:00,268 --> 00:01:02,771
How I'm going to wonder that I'm going
to be completely distracted for this.
25
00:01:02,771 --> 00:01:03,146
What?
26
00:01:04,564 --> 00:01:07,275
It was just going to keep coming up
with random ideas through the episode.
27
00:01:07,275 --> 00:01:09,402
Yeah, exactly. Going is it is it?
28
00:01:09,402 --> 00:01:10,862
Yeah. Does it sound like.
29
00:01:10,862 --> 00:01:13,865
Can you get it at CVS?
30
00:01:14,991 --> 00:01:17,744
Yes, you can.
31
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:20,705
But it's under a plexus plexi.
32
00:01:21,831 --> 00:01:22,665
Kits.
33
00:01:22,665 --> 00:01:25,001
You have to get them to out
open it up for you.
34
00:01:25,001 --> 00:01:26,169
Is it chocolate colored.
35
00:01:26,169 --> 00:01:27,587
And there are no buts about it.
36
00:01:27,587 --> 00:01:30,590
But anyway.
37
00:01:33,343 --> 00:01:33,843
You had.
38
00:01:33,843 --> 00:01:36,554
To be on the beginning of the show.
Seriously.
39
00:01:36,554 --> 00:01:39,015
Maybe we should do that for a,
40
00:01:39,015 --> 00:01:40,391
We should put that out as the episode.
41
00:01:40,391 --> 00:01:42,185
It's a Patreon, you know?
42
00:01:42,185 --> 00:01:43,937
You want to hear the weird shit?
43
00:01:43,937 --> 00:01:46,606
I said I'd like to. Get that. Joke.
Yeah. Patreon.
44
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:47,649
I mean, the nice bit there is.
45
00:01:47,649 --> 00:01:50,527
You know, we're now talking about
hearing things late, so there you go.
46
00:01:50,527 --> 00:01:51,361
That probably sits.
47
00:01:51,361 --> 00:01:53,822
Oh, it does indeed,
because the latency is,
48
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:56,616
Well, I mean, everyone kind of knows
49
00:01:56,616 --> 00:02:00,370
what latency is,
but really do we know what latency is?
50
00:02:00,703 --> 00:02:01,454
Well, I.
51
00:02:01,454 --> 00:02:03,289
Think a lot of people are confused about.
52
00:02:03,289 --> 00:02:06,042
What is. See, delay.
53
00:02:06,042 --> 00:02:07,335
Let's let's start let's start with what?
54
00:02:07,335 --> 00:02:10,004
It's not it's not echoing back.
55
00:02:10,004 --> 00:02:11,172
Yeah.
56
00:02:11,172 --> 00:02:12,173
Well, it kind of does.
57
00:02:12,173 --> 00:02:14,676
I mean, I guess because, you know,
if you like, you can sort of hear
58
00:02:14,676 --> 00:02:16,886
ringing in other people's
headphones and stuff. Right?
59
00:02:16,886 --> 00:02:20,473
Echoing back is caused by latency,
but latency is not echoing.
60
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:24,435
Best latency is what in its most basic
form, latency is the time it takes your
61
00:02:24,435 --> 00:02:28,356
audio signal to go through your system
to be processed digitally.
62
00:02:28,356 --> 00:02:30,066
Sometimes
it might be sent to another machine
63
00:02:30,066 --> 00:02:32,318
and come back,
and then it's got to go back into
64
00:02:32,318 --> 00:02:34,320
whatever it is you're using
and then go back out.
65
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,158
So it's the time it takes
is time for that process to happen.
66
00:02:38,158 --> 00:02:40,869
Yeah. Latency is the time for a process
to take place.
67
00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:41,828
Yeah, exactly.
68
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:44,873
And sometimes for me to understand
what you just said.
69
00:02:44,956 --> 00:02:45,165
Yeah.
70
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:46,875
So like say, look, I mean, biggest place
71
00:02:46,875 --> 00:02:49,836
I know the city's on source
connect sessions when I'm working with
72
00:02:50,336 --> 00:02:53,548
maybe doing a voice over demo
with or recording someone in the States.
73
00:02:53,548 --> 00:02:53,798
Right.
74
00:02:53,798 --> 00:02:58,386
Because it's got to get to me
from the States and source connects
75
00:02:58,386 --> 00:02:59,262
for to do it sync.
76
00:02:59,262 --> 00:03:01,764
And you can talk more
about what happens there Robert.
77
00:03:01,764 --> 00:03:03,933
And then it's got to go from me.
78
00:03:03,933 --> 00:03:06,186
I've got to sort of re spot,
I've got to respond.
79
00:03:06,186 --> 00:03:09,606
And then it's got to go back
through that same process back to right.
80
00:03:09,606 --> 00:03:10,273
Yeah. That's gone.
81
00:03:10,273 --> 00:03:12,609
So that's a round trip. So that's. A real.
82
00:03:12,609 --> 00:03:14,402
Classic latency.
83
00:03:14,402 --> 00:03:17,655
The classic latency
joke is the guy who's like at the like,
84
00:03:17,655 --> 00:03:21,492
you know, the war correspondent
out in the field in the control room.
85
00:03:21,492 --> 00:03:22,952
Just like what's it like out there.
86
00:03:24,913 --> 00:03:26,331
Oh yes Kenny.
87
00:03:26,331 --> 00:03:29,334
Yeah. Yeah. It is really awful out here.
88
00:03:29,334 --> 00:03:30,543
It's there on a satellite.
89
00:03:30,543 --> 00:03:33,296
Q then it's going to be 3 or 4 second to.
90
00:03:33,296 --> 00:03:34,631
Right? Yeah.
91
00:03:34,631 --> 00:03:38,384
So so what what sort of things
are happening inside a plugin.
92
00:03:38,384 --> 00:03:41,471
Let's talk about for example,
Inside Source Connect.
93
00:03:41,471 --> 00:03:45,642
Without giving away any trade secrets,
why does like for me it's
94
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:48,186
you know, I would sort of think, well,
it's only got to sort of shoot
95
00:03:48,186 --> 00:03:50,188
through this,
you know, this computer thing.
96
00:03:50,188 --> 00:03:52,523
Why does it take so long
to get through there?
97
00:03:52,523 --> 00:03:53,983
So there's latency all over the place.
98
00:03:53,983 --> 00:03:58,196
Even if you've ever connected
your audio interface and you hear yourself
99
00:03:58,696 --> 00:04:02,742
like some computer software lets
you monitor yourself through the software,
100
00:04:03,284 --> 00:04:06,496
and when you do, you might hear a little
101
00:04:06,579 --> 00:04:11,626
like shadowing or a very quick, very,
very short echo of yourself.
102
00:04:11,626 --> 00:04:13,461
A musician would call it a flam.
103
00:04:13,461 --> 00:04:16,631
Or ProTools is a classic example of this,
because unless you use low
104
00:04:16,631 --> 00:04:19,884
latency monitoring in the native version,
you have a.
105
00:04:20,426 --> 00:04:22,303
Stream. Yeah. Yeah. Right.
106
00:04:22,303 --> 00:04:25,598
So then you're going to hear yourself
through all the buffering that occurs
107
00:04:25,598 --> 00:04:29,811
where your audio interface collects
the data.
108
00:04:30,144 --> 00:04:33,147
That's one process in the audio
interface computer.
109
00:04:33,356 --> 00:04:36,359
It hands it off to ProTools,
ProTools records it.
110
00:04:36,401 --> 00:04:39,070
Maybe ProTools even has to pass it
through a few plugins
111
00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:40,613
that you have on that channel.
112
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:43,700
That's also more time to,
you know, to process those plugins.
113
00:04:43,992 --> 00:04:47,370
And then out
it goes back to your headphones.
114
00:04:47,745 --> 00:04:51,457
So every DAW has a usually
some sort of buffer.
115
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:54,752
And it's the classic thing
where if you lower the buffer
116
00:04:54,752 --> 00:04:56,254
you're going to have less latency.
117
00:04:56,254 --> 00:04:59,257
It'll sound
like you're having less of a flam,
118
00:04:59,549 --> 00:05:03,553
but then you're going to make it
less stable because the computer
119
00:05:03,553 --> 00:05:07,849
has less time to apply to do
all these processes that it needs to.
120
00:05:07,849 --> 00:05:09,934
And if it can't get them all done in time,
121
00:05:09,934 --> 00:05:13,396
depending on how the software handles it,
it might just stop what it's doing
122
00:05:13,396 --> 00:05:16,357
and throw an error message up and say,
oh, I had an error,
123
00:05:16,357 --> 00:05:18,067
or it might not throw
the error message up,
124
00:05:18,067 --> 00:05:20,194
but it might make all the audio
sound like garbage.
125
00:05:20,194 --> 00:05:23,281
It just depends on how the software
decides to handle that state.
126
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:26,326
So there's time it takes just locally
127
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:30,913
to get the audio into your computer
and then into the software,
128
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:36,377
be it Pro Tools or Source Connect or Zoom
or whatever it is.
129
00:05:36,419 --> 00:05:41,382
It has to digitize the audio
so it has a converted from a voltage to
130
00:05:41,382 --> 00:05:44,802
to a digital signal,
and then has to take that digital signal,
131
00:05:44,927 --> 00:05:47,930
get it into the computer software,
into the computer software.
132
00:05:47,930 --> 00:05:50,266
The computer software has to do something
with it.
133
00:05:50,266 --> 00:05:52,560
EQ compression, who knows.
134
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,520
In the case of Source Connect,
what it's doing is
135
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,066
it's taking that audio data,
which is a lot of audio data,
136
00:05:58,566 --> 00:06:01,569
and it's putting a
with a data compression on it.
137
00:06:01,778 --> 00:06:05,156
That's not like audio compression
in terms of dynamic range.
138
00:06:05,615 --> 00:06:09,077
It's compressing the audio to remove
139
00:06:09,994 --> 00:06:13,664
what it knows
you can't hear as a human, so that it can
140
00:06:13,664 --> 00:06:17,877
then send less data without losing
audio quality across the internet.
141
00:06:18,294 --> 00:06:21,672
So that time it takes to compress
the audio, data wise takes,
142
00:06:23,174 --> 00:06:24,217
only a few milliseconds.
143
00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:26,552
You know, 20 milliseconds
actually, or something.
144
00:06:26,552 --> 00:06:27,553
I think it might be less.
145
00:06:27,553 --> 00:06:30,973
I think it's 20 milliseconds
to compress it and decompress it.
146
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:34,227
The real time
147
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:38,773
that, no pun intended that occurs is in
hauling it over the internet.
148
00:06:39,315 --> 00:06:41,776
So there's a few other steps
that connect has to take before
149
00:06:41,776 --> 00:06:42,652
it gets it on the internet.
150
00:06:42,652 --> 00:06:45,988
It then has to take chunks
of those of that audio
151
00:06:46,614 --> 00:06:49,617
and has to chop it up
into what's called the packet.
152
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:53,454
Think of that as like
has to put the audio in a box
153
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:56,791
so that that box can be
sent over the internet.
154
00:06:56,833 --> 00:06:59,585
Because the internet doesn't work
in continuous streams of data,
155
00:06:59,585 --> 00:07:02,588
it works in packets or chunks of data.
156
00:07:02,672 --> 00:07:04,424
So you have to take your audio.
157
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:08,386
That's rather continuous,
chop it up into chunks or packets,
158
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:13,307
and then send those packets across
the internet, receive those packets.
159
00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:17,103
And so when you receive the packets,
you have to have another buffer
160
00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:20,356
because you need to make sure
that you get all those packets in order.
161
00:07:20,773 --> 00:07:22,650
When you start sending them out,
162
00:07:22,650 --> 00:07:25,069
you don't know how they're going
to go across the internet.
163
00:07:25,069 --> 00:07:27,655
And sometimes some of them
might take a slightly different route
164
00:07:27,655 --> 00:07:30,700
depending on how the internet,
the internet's, self deterministic,
165
00:07:30,700 --> 00:07:34,328
how it decides to deliver
data from point A to point B,
166
00:07:35,496 --> 00:07:39,000
so the buffer on the receiving side
is what the
167
00:07:39,208 --> 00:07:42,837
what gives the system time to make sure
that it has all the packets in order
168
00:07:43,212 --> 00:07:46,299
so that it can play them out
without a hiccup or a drop out,
169
00:07:47,216 --> 00:07:50,219
and then it receives all those packets,
it gets them in order,
170
00:07:50,219 --> 00:07:54,056
plays them out, decompresses them,
and then reverses everything.
171
00:07:54,056 --> 00:07:57,685
So it decompresses that makes them
the big string of audio hands that,
172
00:07:58,436 --> 00:08:00,980
to your audio software
that's playing it out.
173
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:04,108
Again, in this case, it's
sort of connect off to the audio card,
174
00:08:04,108 --> 00:08:07,820
which has a little small buffer in it,
and then out to your headphones.
175
00:08:08,237 --> 00:08:12,074
So and so all of that, depending on
where you are, it can take a varied amount
176
00:08:12,074 --> 00:08:16,871
of time, anywhere from 300 milliseconds
to possibly around a half second or.
177
00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:18,998
So with, with the internet,
because we always
178
00:08:18,998 --> 00:08:21,250
assume is like point A to point B,
and that's it.
179
00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:23,836
There's nothing in between.
But it doesn't work that way, does it?
180
00:08:23,836 --> 00:08:27,173
Because sometimes it'll veer off it off
some other direction.
181
00:08:27,298 --> 00:08:27,548
Right.
182
00:08:27,548 --> 00:08:32,261
So there's all the way the internet works
is there's these many different series.
183
00:08:33,095 --> 00:08:34,514
Yeah. I don't know.
184
00:08:34,514 --> 00:08:38,601
It's there's many, many, many different
internet service providers out there.
185
00:08:38,809 --> 00:08:41,562
And they all do
what's called peer together.
186
00:08:41,562 --> 00:08:44,565
So what makes the internet work
is that all
187
00:08:44,649 --> 00:08:47,652
providers on the internet
have to peer with each other.
188
00:08:47,902 --> 00:08:51,656
And this is where you get your issues
with net neutrality and whatnot,
189
00:08:51,656 --> 00:08:55,368
because they should all deal
with each other's
190
00:08:55,368 --> 00:08:58,412
data with the same priority,
but they don't necessarily do that.
191
00:08:58,412 --> 00:09:02,375
They really give all of each other
the lowest priority technically.
192
00:09:02,625 --> 00:09:07,296
So for example, AT&T, if it has data
from its own network, it's going to pass
193
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:12,593
that data to the next hop before it passes
data from, say, T-Mobile or Verizon.
194
00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:15,137
So the internet's built off
195
00:09:15,137 --> 00:09:18,975
of these many, many different providers
in the in the United States,
196
00:09:18,975 --> 00:09:22,895
you have what's called the tier one or,
you know, tier one providers.
197
00:09:23,229 --> 00:09:26,315
And usually at some point,
if you're connecting from one carrier
198
00:09:26,315 --> 00:09:28,484
to another, at some point
you end up going down
199
00:09:28,484 --> 00:09:31,529
all the way down to a tier
one provider and back up,
200
00:09:32,321 --> 00:09:36,617
so many local carriers
might be many tiers up from a tier one.
201
00:09:37,034 --> 00:09:42,707
But in theory, if you and your connection
partner were on AT&T, if AT&T was doing
202
00:09:42,707 --> 00:09:46,669
everything really perfectly,
the data would never leave AT&T network.
203
00:09:47,211 --> 00:09:51,966
That's not to say it doesn't hop across
many different nodes on AT&T network.
204
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:55,511
So AT&T also would peer with itself.
205
00:09:55,511 --> 00:09:57,680
You know, you're in New York.
206
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:01,517
The person you're connecting
with is in, say LA.
207
00:10:02,893 --> 00:10:04,270
Your signal might go
208
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:08,316
probably down through Texas,
through some of various servers
209
00:10:08,316 --> 00:10:12,320
and, you know, like Houston
and maybe over in Colorado or New Mexico.
210
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:17,033
And eventually it's just sort of
hopscotching across the country
211
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:21,245
from one peering point to the other
until it gets to the end endpoint.
212
00:10:21,245 --> 00:10:25,249
So with with source connect the just
source elements where your service based.
213
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:27,585
So we have relay servers.
214
00:10:27,585 --> 00:10:29,128
So normally source connect
215
00:10:29,128 --> 00:10:32,131
first going to try to create
what's called a peer to peer connection
216
00:10:32,131 --> 00:10:36,010
which AT&T or the provider
would figure out that route for you.
217
00:10:37,511 --> 00:10:40,514
But if your firewalls
can't trust each other,
218
00:10:41,057 --> 00:10:45,394
then you have to have the data coming
from a trusted point.
219
00:10:45,394 --> 00:10:47,188
And that would be our servers.
220
00:10:47,188 --> 00:10:48,939
So we have servers throughout the globe.
221
00:10:48,939 --> 00:10:51,275
I forget exactly where at this point,
222
00:10:51,275 --> 00:10:55,154
because we've expanded, but we at least at
one point had two in Europe,
223
00:10:56,197 --> 00:10:56,739
I think three
224
00:10:56,739 --> 00:10:59,742
in the United States and one in Asia
at least.
225
00:10:59,742 --> 00:11:00,326
Yeah.
226
00:11:00,326 --> 00:11:02,078
Those were that was in the pandemic.
227
00:11:02,078 --> 00:11:04,914
We had like 5 or 6 points.
I think we have more now.
228
00:11:04,914 --> 00:11:07,958
But if we like I'm just thinking
like, for instance, if I'm sitting here,
229
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:10,961
where I'm in Victoria in Australia
230
00:11:10,961 --> 00:11:13,964
and I'm connecting with Rob in Sydney,
231
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,427
with which service do I pass through
to get to Sydney from here?
232
00:11:18,469 --> 00:11:20,262
Would I go overseas? You might.
233
00:11:20,262 --> 00:11:24,475
You might go all the way to Singapore
I think is where I think are
234
00:11:24,725 --> 00:11:27,728
apex servers are
I think they're in the Singapore area.
235
00:11:27,728 --> 00:11:29,397
So if you were connecting peer
236
00:11:29,397 --> 00:11:32,400
to peer, your connection might never leave
Australia.
237
00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:35,361
The servers serve two purposes.
238
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:36,946
One is a meet and greet.
239
00:11:36,946 --> 00:11:40,950
So you both log in to the server
and you have no idea where each other are.
240
00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:44,120
And Robbo sends a message to Andrew
that says, hey, I want to connect.
241
00:11:44,495 --> 00:11:47,957
That message goes to the server and the
server says, oh, I know where Andrew is.
242
00:11:48,249 --> 00:11:49,625
I'll send that message to Andrew.
243
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:51,335
Robert wants to connect.
244
00:11:51,335 --> 00:11:52,628
Andrew accepts.
245
00:11:52,628 --> 00:11:57,550
Then it's going to basically give up all
the information about Robert's location,
246
00:11:58,509 --> 00:11:59,593
and it will try to make that
247
00:11:59,593 --> 00:12:03,180
connection peer to peer,
which might take, as I call it, the birds.
248
00:12:03,389 --> 00:12:06,308
As the bird flies through the internet,
the shortest path.
249
00:12:06,308 --> 00:12:08,018
That's what the internet should do
naturally,
250
00:12:08,018 --> 00:12:09,937
should make a peer to peer connection.
251
00:12:09,937 --> 00:12:11,814
If it can't,
252
00:12:11,814 --> 00:12:14,817
then you might see Source Connect,
say switching over to Source Stream.
253
00:12:15,484 --> 00:12:18,571
At that point, you guys would both
be going through Singapore,
254
00:12:19,113 --> 00:12:20,531
which technically adds latency
255
00:12:20,531 --> 00:12:21,907
because now you both
have to go all the way
256
00:12:21,907 --> 00:12:24,160
to Singapore
and back to talk to each other. Right?
257
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,080
But the only reason why that would be
happening is to satisfy a firewall
258
00:12:28,205 --> 00:12:29,373
or security issue.
259
00:12:29,373 --> 00:12:34,086
Not because it's actually technically
better to add this mileage
260
00:12:34,086 --> 00:12:36,964
to the connection.
261
00:12:36,964 --> 00:12:39,091
So you're not always
going through our servers.
262
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:41,469
We try to always find the shortest path.
263
00:12:41,469 --> 00:12:44,764
So then okay,
so now we know what causes it.
264
00:12:44,805 --> 00:12:45,931
How can we deal with it.
265
00:12:45,931 --> 00:12:49,351
So Source Connect three
you would have your ports forwarded.
266
00:12:49,685 --> 00:12:53,022
And that would very much guarantee
that you'd get a peer to peer connection.
267
00:12:53,022 --> 00:12:54,523
If both sides have their ports forwarded
268
00:12:54,523 --> 00:12:56,567
you're going to get a peer
to peer connection
269
00:12:56,567 --> 00:12:59,653
as long as you don't have that user stream
checkbox selected.
270
00:13:00,362 --> 00:13:03,199
Which would force it to use the streaming
server again.
271
00:13:03,199 --> 00:13:04,533
That's the best way.
272
00:13:04,533 --> 00:13:08,829
But port forwarding has just
become untenable for a number of reasons.
273
00:13:09,246 --> 00:13:13,000
One of the biggest reasons
is especially with the NBN,
274
00:13:13,876 --> 00:13:16,837
I've seen this
and really with more and more countries,
275
00:13:17,296 --> 00:13:20,257
in the United States,
if you have a cellular connection,
276
00:13:20,841 --> 00:13:21,300
you're not going
277
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:24,637
to get an internet connection that puts
you directly on the public internet
278
00:13:25,179 --> 00:13:28,057
and most of the internet connections
that the NBN provides,
279
00:13:28,057 --> 00:13:31,143
as far as I've noticed, do not put you
directly on the public internet,
280
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:35,439
so you can't do port forwarding
unless you have a direct connection
281
00:13:35,439 --> 00:13:37,024
to the public internet.
282
00:13:37,024 --> 00:13:39,902
If you don't have a direct connection
to the public internet, basically
283
00:13:39,902 --> 00:13:44,365
what you have is an internet service
provider that corrals all their users
284
00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:48,369
into one massive little private network,
and then lets them all
285
00:13:48,828 --> 00:13:53,541
get to the public internet through one
point of presence, essentially.
286
00:13:53,541 --> 00:13:57,670
And they save money,
they save IP addresses this way and costs.
287
00:13:57,878 --> 00:14:02,341
So you can think of it, the difference
of living in a city directly on the grid,
288
00:14:02,633 --> 00:14:04,718
or living in the little community
289
00:14:04,718 --> 00:14:06,679
where all the houses
have all their private roads.
290
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,766
But to get out to the road anywhere else
besides the group of houses,
291
00:14:10,766 --> 00:14:14,311
you have to go through that one road
that puts you on the public road
292
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:16,105
compared to the HOA.
293
00:14:17,273 --> 00:14:17,940
So most
294
00:14:17,940 --> 00:14:21,402
internet service providers are sticking
everyone B inside their HOA now.
295
00:14:21,777 --> 00:14:24,780
Therefore, you can't do port forwarding
and port forwarding is a pain in the butt.
296
00:14:25,948 --> 00:14:26,824
Usually.
297
00:14:26,824 --> 00:14:32,329
Source CNet can try to figure its way
out of those networks and still establish
298
00:14:32,329 --> 00:14:35,332
a port, a peer to peer connection,
even without a port forward.
299
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,128
But it's not guaranteed,
because a lot has to do with.
300
00:14:39,753 --> 00:14:44,341
Yeah, it gets really technical,
but essentially a really strong firewall.
301
00:14:44,341 --> 00:14:47,386
A router would realize that it's
302
00:14:47,386 --> 00:14:50,681
having a conversation with our server
and that's using a port.
303
00:14:51,098 --> 00:14:54,852
And then Robbo comes in and says, hey,
let me send data in to Andrew
304
00:14:54,852 --> 00:14:56,395
on that same port.
305
00:14:56,395 --> 00:14:58,856
And a good firewall would say, Yeah.
306
00:14:58,856 --> 00:14:59,481
See you. Later.
307
00:14:59,481 --> 00:15:00,941
I'm not fallen for that.
308
00:15:00,941 --> 00:15:03,527
Like,
like you're not the person I'm talking to.
309
00:15:03,527 --> 00:15:06,447
Whereas a weaker
firewall would let us kind of like,
310
00:15:06,447 --> 00:15:10,367
stick our foot in the door and then
let Rob go in through that same port.
311
00:15:10,868 --> 00:15:12,912
There's advantages
to those weak firewalls,
312
00:15:12,912 --> 00:15:15,247
but there's also,
of course, obviously disadvantages.
313
00:15:16,415 --> 00:15:17,833
So ultimately
314
00:15:17,833 --> 00:15:21,045
it's these days,
you know, compared to the early 2000s,
315
00:15:21,045 --> 00:15:24,089
it's just not possible
to port forward the world anymore.
316
00:15:25,132 --> 00:15:28,135
And so the whole service has gotten
317
00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:29,053
more expensive
318
00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:32,473
to provide for these reasons,
because you have to rely on a whole global
319
00:15:32,473 --> 00:15:36,268
network of servers, even more
so to be able to make all this work.
320
00:15:38,354 --> 00:15:41,106
But yeah,
that's how it establishes its connection.
321
00:15:41,106 --> 00:15:44,652
And you don't know, like,
you could have a situation where
322
00:15:45,277 --> 00:15:48,697
two people who live in the same city
because of the firewall
323
00:15:48,697 --> 00:15:50,199
as they can't connect with each other,
324
00:15:50,199 --> 00:15:53,202
and even though they're only one house
away from each other,
325
00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:56,080
might have to bounce
through a relay server,
326
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,083
it's hundreds of miles away
from the two of them.
327
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:01,418
But not ideal, but sort of.
328
00:16:01,418 --> 00:16:03,128
That's how it goes.
329
00:16:03,128 --> 00:16:05,172
So it's connect
four does a pretty good job, right?
330
00:16:05,172 --> 00:16:08,425
Well, it doesn't need port
forwarding anymore and it has a much more.
331
00:16:09,218 --> 00:16:12,846
It has a larger system of global
servers to get through. And
332
00:16:14,056 --> 00:16:14,348
yeah.
333
00:16:14,348 --> 00:16:17,101
So in the sense it's better
because it doesn't rely on port
334
00:16:17,101 --> 00:16:20,980
forwarding so much and it's a little bit
more intelligent about Source connect
335
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:23,983
three sometimes would end up
in a situation where it,
336
00:16:25,401 --> 00:16:29,571
for example, there's a system called UPnP
or it's called Universal
337
00:16:29,571 --> 00:16:33,242
Plug and Play, and that's
where the software asks for a port.
338
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:38,080
And then the router opens up that port
for the software, which is great.
339
00:16:38,497 --> 00:16:41,959
But then what people do
is they get service from say,
340
00:16:42,209 --> 00:16:47,172
Comcast Internet, and then they go
over to BestBuy and they buy a Euro router
341
00:16:47,172 --> 00:16:50,843
and they hook up this Wi-Fi thing
to their whole house.
342
00:16:51,176 --> 00:16:53,971
So what they've done is
they've put a router inside of a router,
343
00:16:53,971 --> 00:16:56,974
they've basically created
the turducken of networks.
344
00:16:56,974 --> 00:17:00,269
And you have firewalls inside of firewalls
literally.
345
00:17:00,269 --> 00:17:04,523
Or you know, so UPnP says, hey,
you have a port, but it doesn't know
346
00:17:04,523 --> 00:17:08,777
about the next router layer
outside of that, which blocks the port.
347
00:17:08,777 --> 00:17:10,237
And source connect
doesn't know about that.
348
00:17:10,237 --> 00:17:13,323
So then Source Connect doesn't know
at least first connect three wasn't
349
00:17:13,323 --> 00:17:16,326
as quick
or good about figuring out like, oh,
350
00:17:16,827 --> 00:17:20,039
I don't really have UPnP,
I don't really have a port.
351
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:22,958
I thought,
I have a port, and that's where,
352
00:17:23,917 --> 00:17:25,169
so sometimes you would have
353
00:17:25,169 --> 00:17:28,422
those connections that didn't work
as fluidly, and you'd have to tell it
354
00:17:28,422 --> 00:17:32,760
to switch over to source stream source
connect four is a little bit.
355
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,638
It's a lot better about figuring out
when when it needs to switch over.
356
00:17:37,598 --> 00:17:40,684
What about Wi-Fi boosters like,
you know, I've got in this house
357
00:17:40,684 --> 00:17:43,771
because the modem is actually
in the studio here, which is not.
358
00:17:44,104 --> 00:17:45,939
Typically add a layer.
359
00:17:45,939 --> 00:17:48,525
So some of them add a layer
or some of them don't.
360
00:17:48,525 --> 00:17:51,487
It depends on how they're set up.
361
00:17:51,695 --> 00:17:54,281
George, you'd actually know
more about those I think, than I do,
362
00:17:54,281 --> 00:17:58,202
but sometimes they they literally
present themselves as your first router
363
00:17:58,202 --> 00:18:01,455
is 1921681.1 and the internet boosters
364
00:18:01,455 --> 00:18:04,416
1921682.1.
365
00:18:04,583 --> 00:18:05,876
That change in that second
366
00:18:05,876 --> 00:18:09,338
number is a whole nother network layer
that's called the subnet.
367
00:18:10,005 --> 00:18:11,507
And now you've.
368
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:14,760
Yeah. Shit complicated.
There's new router.
369
00:18:14,802 --> 00:18:18,430
Well there's modern routers
now that have mesh
370
00:18:18,430 --> 00:18:21,850
Wi-Fi router, mesh Wi-Fi extenders.
371
00:18:22,476 --> 00:18:25,813
And the nice thing about mesh stuff
is they do extend the same IP
372
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:27,189
address across your home.
373
00:18:28,565 --> 00:18:30,818
But they have to
be they all have to work together, right?
374
00:18:30,818 --> 00:18:31,276
You can't just.
375
00:18:31,276 --> 00:18:34,404
And the mesh has to be your thing,
but you have to hook up
376
00:18:34,404 --> 00:18:37,491
your internet connection
directly to the head unit of the mesh.
377
00:18:38,033 --> 00:18:39,118
If not the whole.
378
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:42,079
If not, the whole mesh becomes a layer.
379
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:43,956
Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
380
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:46,333
It's yeah, it's it gets messy quick.
381
00:18:46,333 --> 00:18:50,337
Even in my little 800 square foot
apartment I have, I have a router,
382
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:54,091
a power over
Ethernet extender to go to the living room
383
00:18:54,091 --> 00:18:56,885
which is ten feet away,
but our house is made out of chicken wire.
384
00:18:56,885 --> 00:18:58,387
Yeah.
385
00:18:58,387 --> 00:19:00,973
The entire thing is a Faraday cage, right?
386
00:19:00,973 --> 00:19:03,851
And that goes out to the living room,
and then it goes
387
00:19:03,851 --> 00:19:06,895
from there to the kitchen to another Poe.
388
00:19:08,021 --> 00:19:08,522
Oh, no.
389
00:19:08,522 --> 00:19:10,607
It goes through, through the walls.
390
00:19:10,607 --> 00:19:13,735
And then it goes from there to the kitchen
to another to the other Poe.
391
00:19:14,361 --> 00:19:16,947
Then it goes to another network
extender out there,
392
00:19:16,947 --> 00:19:21,910
which is on a different subnet, completely
to get to my webcam out in the garage.
393
00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:23,370
Right.
394
00:19:23,370 --> 00:19:25,205
And that's the kind of thing
you have to do sometimes.
395
00:19:25,205 --> 00:19:30,878
But if your network is, for example,
there's one brand of router called Eero,
396
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:34,673
not necessarily my favorite,
but they are friendly to use.
397
00:19:34,965 --> 00:19:37,467
The, let me let me make one complaint
about know
398
00:19:37,467 --> 00:19:41,013
the only place you can manage
that thing is on your stupid cell world.
399
00:19:41,096 --> 00:19:42,264
Oh, wow.
400
00:19:42,264 --> 00:19:44,016
Okay. Yeah. So annoying.
401
00:19:44,016 --> 00:19:45,225
That's what I don't like.
402
00:19:45,225 --> 00:19:47,561
And I think they do it
for security reasons.
403
00:19:47,561 --> 00:19:48,979
It's easier to secure it.
404
00:19:48,979 --> 00:19:50,856
Probably over a mobile.
405
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:53,650
It makes it really hard
to tech support for people.
406
00:19:53,650 --> 00:19:55,360
It is really a nuisance. Yeah.
407
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:59,323
For you guys to help somebody on an Eero
and have to talk them through
408
00:19:59,323 --> 00:20:01,241
how to do it. On their own
while talking to them on their phone.
409
00:20:01,241 --> 00:20:02,868
It's not nearly. Yes.
410
00:20:02,868 --> 00:20:03,869
Yeah, yeah.
411
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:05,621
You set up a. Screen share
and then you're like, wait.
412
00:20:05,621 --> 00:20:08,498
You're like, oh, screen trainer computer,
let me jump in your router.
413
00:20:08,498 --> 00:20:08,999
Zero.
414
00:20:08,999 --> 00:20:11,543
You're like,
oh God, okay, pick up your cell phone.
415
00:20:11,543 --> 00:20:13,295
What do you see? Oh I. Don't know.
416
00:20:13,295 --> 00:20:13,879
It says router.
417
00:20:13,879 --> 00:20:16,298
It doesn't say router.
No it says it's supposed to say router.
418
00:20:16,298 --> 00:20:19,301
I don't see it because half the time
they don't even look.
419
00:20:19,468 --> 00:20:22,095
Oh fine. Oh now I see it.
Three minutes later. Yeah.
420
00:20:22,095 --> 00:20:23,222
Like yeah.
421
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:25,891
Yeah I haven't got a year. I said, what
are you talking about? That wasn't me.
422
00:20:27,351 --> 00:20:29,645
Okay. Yes.
423
00:20:29,645 --> 00:20:32,064
I mean you want to look for like Synology
or Ubiquity.
424
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:34,274
Ubiquity is great ones. Yeah I like.
425
00:20:34,274 --> 00:20:38,111
Like not that expensive and really,
really reliable and easy to configure.
426
00:20:38,946 --> 00:20:41,198
But yes, you got to be really careful
with that stuff.
427
00:20:41,198 --> 00:20:43,242
It can slow down your whole network.
428
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:45,160
Especially the ones that go Wi-Fi
to Wi-Fi.
429
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:50,374
So one of the things about the extenders
I have a set of ubiquiti unify routers
430
00:20:50,874 --> 00:20:54,127
and they're Wi-Fi hotspots,
but they are meant
431
00:20:54,127 --> 00:20:57,422
to be connected
to each other through Ethernet.
432
00:20:58,423 --> 00:20:58,715
Yeah.
433
00:20:58,715 --> 00:21:02,094
And therefore, because if not,
what you have is like, anything
434
00:21:02,094 --> 00:21:05,472
that's wireless has more latency
than anything that is wired.
435
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:09,226
And all these things
that are wirelessly extending things,
436
00:21:09,518 --> 00:21:13,146
you have both the transmit,
the the receive and the transmit
437
00:21:13,689 --> 00:21:17,359
latency that you're adding to it
because you're basically asking it to be,
438
00:21:18,026 --> 00:21:20,529
access point and, receive
439
00:21:20,529 --> 00:21:23,532
point wirelessly at the same time.
440
00:21:23,657 --> 00:21:26,535
It's, you know, it's being both ends of it
simultaneously.
441
00:21:26,535 --> 00:21:30,247
I bought years ago, the, Apple AirPods.
442
00:21:30,872 --> 00:21:35,877
So they, you know, they plug into the plug
in the wall and then fire off Wi-Fi.
443
00:21:35,919 --> 00:21:39,715
So basically, my setup is like an Ethernet
cable connected to the modem in here.
444
00:21:39,715 --> 00:21:42,259
Underground, then into the house.
445
00:21:42,259 --> 00:21:45,762
And then there's a whole bunch of Ethernet
plugs all through the house.
446
00:21:46,388 --> 00:21:48,015
Nice, nice. Yeah.
447
00:21:48,015 --> 00:21:50,017
That's what happens
when you build your own house.
448
00:21:50,017 --> 00:21:52,686
Yeah, definitely. Exactly.
449
00:21:53,979 --> 00:21:54,688
Yeah.
450
00:21:54,688 --> 00:21:55,314
Yeah.
451
00:21:55,314 --> 00:21:59,568
Because because the power over the
or the Ethernet over the power system
452
00:21:59,735 --> 00:22:02,946
and I've seen mixed, mixed results
with those things.
453
00:22:02,946 --> 00:22:03,447
Yeah.
454
00:22:03,447 --> 00:22:06,366
Like they,
they don't they slow things down.
455
00:22:06,366 --> 00:22:09,703
I think that we talk about the latency
on the, on the computer
456
00:22:09,703 --> 00:22:13,874
and where the delay between
the add converter to the computer to it.
457
00:22:13,874 --> 00:22:15,250
And so I was getting that. Yeah.
458
00:22:15,250 --> 00:22:18,003
All of that.
I tried going over that at the beginning.
459
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:20,505
ProTools. Yeah. ProTools
native in how it's.
460
00:22:20,505 --> 00:22:21,882
Yeah. Yeah.
461
00:22:21,882 --> 00:22:24,426
Like that really matters
for people playing in sync.
462
00:22:24,426 --> 00:22:26,178
Right. Like mainly music.
463
00:22:26,178 --> 00:22:30,223
Like if you're trying to play virtual
instruments, synthesizers,
464
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,144
all sorts of layers and have everything
line up so you don't have to manually.
465
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:36,396
Or if you want to. Right. Yeah. To vision.
Well yeah.
466
00:22:36,396 --> 00:22:37,606
I mean like like
467
00:22:37,606 --> 00:22:38,565
like one thing to be really
468
00:22:38,565 --> 00:22:41,735
clear on is like what is latency
that matters and doesn't matter.
469
00:22:41,735 --> 00:22:45,906
So if you're looking at lip lip sync
you can have a little bit of tolerance
470
00:22:45,906 --> 00:22:46,198
there.
471
00:22:46,198 --> 00:22:49,201
20 milliseconds isn't going to make
something look out of sync,
472
00:22:49,659 --> 00:22:52,871
but 20 milliseconds at the right musical
tempo
473
00:22:52,871 --> 00:22:56,416
is the difference
between a good player and a bad player.
474
00:22:57,250 --> 00:22:57,584
Right.
475
00:22:57,584 --> 00:22:59,378
I always used to laugh at these systems
476
00:22:59,378 --> 00:23:02,923
that claim to let you play music
over the internet and when you would.
477
00:23:03,298 --> 00:23:05,842
Oh, go, go companies. Yeah, listen.
478
00:23:05,842 --> 00:23:07,386
Excuse me, but bullshit.
479
00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:11,556
So you read the manual and at some point
they would say things like, you know, once
480
00:23:11,556 --> 00:23:13,850
you get it all hooked up and you've driven
all your drivers
481
00:23:13,850 --> 00:23:16,978
down to the lowest latency,
so everything's as unstable as possible,
482
00:23:18,271 --> 00:23:20,232
you will get used to playing with latency
483
00:23:20,232 --> 00:23:23,318
and it works better with slower
tempo music.
484
00:23:24,152 --> 00:23:24,861
Like it works.
485
00:23:24,861 --> 00:23:26,780
Better
if the other band members are in your.
486
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:29,241
Yeah, yeah, it works. Better
if no one has a sense of.
487
00:23:29,241 --> 00:23:31,159
Time. What about Ringo Starr?
488
00:23:31,159 --> 00:23:31,410
Right?
489
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:35,038
Ringo Starr's in-built latency gave him
a name is one of the world's
490
00:23:35,038 --> 00:23:37,874
greatest drummers because he's naturally,
let's call it feel.
491
00:23:37,874 --> 00:23:40,419
Yeah. And his grandmother
made him learn to get right.
492
00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:43,422
But it took him
longer to get to the snare drum
493
00:23:43,505 --> 00:23:45,465
because of the way
he learned to play the drums,
494
00:23:45,465 --> 00:23:47,884
and that gave him that natural
swing that everyone goes, oh,
495
00:23:47,884 --> 00:23:50,595
George of stuff
like Ringo is a fucking genius.
496
00:23:50,595 --> 00:23:53,265
Yeah, yeah, no,
but it was like it was just. A but.
497
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:55,517
Inbuilt latency that he wasn't.
498
00:23:55,517 --> 00:23:57,811
But here's another point of latency.
499
00:23:57,811 --> 00:24:00,105
Why do orchestras have conductors?
500
00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:02,274
Because
501
00:24:02,274 --> 00:24:04,901
again, at the right tempo,
the amount of time it takes
502
00:24:04,901 --> 00:24:09,072
for the double basses
on one side of the orchestra to hear
503
00:24:09,072 --> 00:24:12,075
and see what the percussionist is doing on
the other side of the orchestra
504
00:24:12,534 --> 00:24:15,162
is a musical time value.
505
00:24:15,162 --> 00:24:17,456
It might be a 64th note,
506
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:21,084
but it's their speed of light conductor
waving their hands.
507
00:24:21,418 --> 00:24:24,880
Now you can get everyone to play in sync,
but you know it's true.
508
00:24:24,921 --> 00:24:27,549
Two people
sitting on either end of a football field
509
00:24:27,549 --> 00:24:30,802
at the speed of sound
cannot play in sync with each other.
510
00:24:30,802 --> 00:24:33,555
Yeah. It's impossible.
Yeah, yeah, I remember that. We did that.
511
00:24:33,555 --> 00:24:36,308
We did that, experiment at school.
We we took a start.
512
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:38,059
Has gone up to one of the ovals at school.
513
00:24:38,059 --> 00:24:39,686
And, you know, we all stood down one end
514
00:24:39,686 --> 00:24:42,230
and the teacher was down
the other end with the started down.
515
00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:44,733
And you saw that you saw the smoke
before you heard the sound.
516
00:24:44,733 --> 00:24:47,360
Yeah. Well,
that's sort of. Exactly where I saw it.
517
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:49,571
I don't like to say Pink Floyd.
518
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:53,408
I saw Dave Gilmore play in Soldier
Field here in Chicago,
519
00:24:53,408 --> 00:24:56,703
and he played money,
and he had the whole thing out in quad.
520
00:24:56,703 --> 00:24:59,831
So doing church, bom bom bom bom,
521
00:25:00,123 --> 00:25:02,959
and each
beat would go to a different speaker.
522
00:25:02,959 --> 00:25:06,421
Except I was about 20ft from one speaker
523
00:25:06,421 --> 00:25:09,966
and about a 1500 feet
from another speaker.
524
00:25:10,383 --> 00:25:15,597
So that whole thing sounded like boom,
chicka bom bom bom bom boom chicka boom.
525
00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:15,889
Yeah.
526
00:25:15,889 --> 00:25:19,351
What if you want a good lesson in latency,
sit down with one of the guys that mics
527
00:25:19,351 --> 00:25:24,397
those stadium events because like, you're
dealing with that day in and day out.
528
00:25:24,439 --> 00:25:25,690
Yeah, absolutely.
529
00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:27,400
I actually had a totally different venue.
530
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,655
I watched a geeky video from this
great podcast called 20,000Hz.
531
00:25:33,073 --> 00:25:34,908
They really it's a great show, by the way.
532
00:25:34,908 --> 00:25:35,992
Free audio people.
533
00:25:35,992 --> 00:25:37,410
Check out 20,000Hz.
534
00:25:37,410 --> 00:25:39,955
And the gentleman,
the gentleman, the host.
535
00:25:39,955 --> 00:25:42,165
The show did.
It's doing a video series now.
536
00:25:42,165 --> 00:25:45,335
And he walked the Disney property.
537
00:25:45,335 --> 00:25:46,711
Disneyland.
538
00:25:46,711 --> 00:25:50,340
And the guy he was that took him on
the tour is an expert
539
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:53,593
on everything Disney technology, you know,
540
00:25:54,052 --> 00:25:57,597
and he shows the guy where
all the hidden speakers are on the mall.
541
00:25:57,597 --> 00:26:01,268
You know, as you walk down Main Street
where the speakers are located,
542
00:26:01,268 --> 00:26:05,897
where the control, you know, control
towers are, where the audio mixer sitting.
543
00:26:06,439 --> 00:26:07,482
But what was really cool,
544
00:26:07,482 --> 00:26:10,694
what's relevant to the conversation,
is talking about how they are masters
545
00:26:10,694 --> 00:26:15,991
at controlling the delays of sound
between systems, so that anywhere you are,
546
00:26:16,032 --> 00:26:20,078
you never hear an overlapping echo
from another zone.
547
00:26:20,412 --> 00:26:21,496
Well, yes.
548
00:26:21,496 --> 00:26:25,166
Even to the point when they have parades,
their old Electric Light parade,
549
00:26:25,166 --> 00:26:29,296
which is so famous and fun, you know,
they had the speakers on the parade car.
550
00:26:29,671 --> 00:26:30,463
But nowadays
551
00:26:30,463 --> 00:26:34,134
the technology, the system sounds,
the sound is so much more sophisticated.
552
00:26:34,426 --> 00:26:37,387
So these speakers
all the way down the entire parade route,
553
00:26:37,554 --> 00:26:40,557
and there's beacons and every single float
554
00:26:40,932 --> 00:26:43,727
telling the system where the float is,
555
00:26:43,727 --> 00:26:47,105
so it knows where the music for that float
should be playing.
556
00:26:47,105 --> 00:26:49,858
And and what? See,
you know why it should be said to.
557
00:26:49,858 --> 00:26:52,444
And so as the thing travels down,
that's so cool.
558
00:26:52,444 --> 00:26:55,071
No matter where you are,
you're hearing the music for that float.
559
00:26:55,071 --> 00:26:59,034
But it's coming from,
you know, fixed speaker locations
560
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:03,079
and a lot of the speakers are hidden,
but now they have speaker towers up
561
00:27:03,079 --> 00:27:06,333
because you can only hide so many speakers
nowadays.
562
00:27:06,333 --> 00:27:09,044
They and they always
put them by the trees.
563
00:27:09,044 --> 00:27:12,547
So there'll be a nice tree
and then next to it, a big speaker tower.
564
00:27:12,547 --> 00:27:15,467
But it's kind of disguised,
you don't really know.
565
00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:17,010
Looks like a. Business or something.
566
00:27:17,010 --> 00:27:17,260
Yeah.
567
00:27:17,260 --> 00:27:20,764
Say what you will about Disney,
but they're geniuses at heart.
568
00:27:20,764 --> 00:27:23,350
Are you sure? I mean, just incredible.
569
00:27:23,350 --> 00:27:27,270
You know, the audio on and tronic,
all that stuff is just next level.
570
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:29,439
But just talking about latency.
571
00:27:29,439 --> 00:27:33,276
It's the most when you really twist
your head around what's going on.
572
00:27:33,276 --> 00:27:36,905
And what's so remarkable
is they do it so well.
573
00:27:37,155 --> 00:27:38,865
And we all know this about sound, right?
574
00:27:38,865 --> 00:27:40,158
You only know it's bad.
575
00:27:41,201 --> 00:27:44,204
You only
notice audio when it's fucking bad, right?
576
00:27:44,204 --> 00:27:47,332
It's the most like unsung hero of tech.
577
00:27:47,332 --> 00:27:52,504
Because when it's good I mean,
unless you're somewhat of a enthusiast,
578
00:27:52,504 --> 00:27:56,299
I'm like, oh, this sounds great, but
most of the time you don't say anything.
579
00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:58,551
But when it's
when it's. Bad, you're hiding. It.
580
00:27:58,551 --> 00:27:59,469
You hate it.
581
00:27:59,469 --> 00:28:02,472
So I think George Lucas line
sound is 50% of the picture.
582
00:28:03,014 --> 00:28:03,598
Yeah.
583
00:28:03,598 --> 00:28:04,724
Yeah yeah yeah.
584
00:28:04,724 --> 00:28:08,353
Or video
without sound is just surveillance. Oh.
585
00:28:08,770 --> 00:28:08,937
Yeah.
586
00:28:08,937 --> 00:28:10,146
Yeah, I like that.
587
00:28:10,146 --> 00:28:13,066
Yeah,
I like that. Talk about video and latency.
588
00:28:13,066 --> 00:28:14,984
Years and years and years ago,
589
00:28:14,984 --> 00:28:17,987
I used to do a TV show
which was live on a Friday night,
590
00:28:17,987 --> 00:28:22,158
the music show,
and it was before, Hi-Fi television.
591
00:28:22,826 --> 00:28:26,413
So the big thing was
you had an FM radio station, and you did
592
00:28:26,413 --> 00:28:28,415
a thing called a simulcast
593
00:28:28,415 --> 00:28:33,336
for anyone under 4515, somebody would have
no idea what I'm doing.
594
00:28:33,336 --> 00:28:37,799
But anyway, so you had the audio
coming out of your Hi-Fi speakers
595
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:41,177
and the pictures on your television,
so I should have the show.
596
00:28:41,177 --> 00:28:44,180
But the problem was
because we had to rely on
597
00:28:44,180 --> 00:28:47,434
the control room
back at the TV network to play the videos.
598
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:51,438
So I had on my chair under the right,
a button.
599
00:28:52,147 --> 00:28:55,024
But I had to work on, I think it was a
600
00:28:55,024 --> 00:28:58,027
2 or 3 second roll from memory.
601
00:28:58,236 --> 00:29:01,448
So when I'm doing my spiel,
I had to work out,
602
00:29:01,448 --> 00:29:04,826
you know, backwards 2
or 3 seconds before I finished
603
00:29:05,493 --> 00:29:08,955
so I could press the button, which alerted
the guys in the control room to rotate
604
00:29:08,997 --> 00:29:11,499
at a time. The rotate,
because in a three second roll.
605
00:29:11,499 --> 00:29:14,043
No way. They roll in and then.
606
00:29:14,043 --> 00:29:17,297
It's like the engine room in the ship,
you know, you push the throttle forward
607
00:29:17,297 --> 00:29:20,759
and then the downstairs,
the light comes on full steam, you.
608
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:22,927
Know, and then you'd fire up this I used.
609
00:29:22,927 --> 00:29:23,887
To have to deal with,
610
00:29:23,887 --> 00:29:27,640
with the first version of Source Live,
like back in 2014,
611
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,227
the latency to get a broadcast
that wasn't peer to peer,
612
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:34,314
it would take like three seconds.
613
00:29:34,314 --> 00:29:36,941
So I'd talk to my clients and say,
okay, well,
614
00:29:36,941 --> 00:29:38,359
here's that thing that you asked for.
615
00:29:38,359 --> 00:29:42,405
It's, you know, like, I lower the audio,
I lower the music, I raise that
616
00:29:42,405 --> 00:29:43,448
I got rid of that pop.
617
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:46,868
I hit play there, that play button is
I just slam the button
618
00:29:47,202 --> 00:29:49,746
and say a few more things
and then it would play.
619
00:29:49,746 --> 00:29:52,582
So hopefully when I said, here
it is, it would start.
620
00:29:52,582 --> 00:29:56,002
But I really had hit play like a second
and a half or two seconds earlier,
621
00:29:56,419 --> 00:29:57,045
trying to make it.
622
00:29:57,045 --> 00:29:59,714
Seem like it's like my Subaru
trying to pass a car on the freeway with.
623
00:29:59,714 --> 00:30:02,383
This.
624
00:30:02,383 --> 00:30:04,302
I'm like, I think I'm going to pass
this guy in a minute.
625
00:30:04,302 --> 00:30:06,304
I'll slam the throttle.
626
00:30:06,304 --> 00:30:09,265
For the 1980s turbo car.
627
00:30:09,307 --> 00:30:10,391
Well, you hit the throttle.
628
00:30:11,476 --> 00:30:12,018
That's right.
629
00:30:12,018 --> 00:30:12,477
At turbo.
630
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:14,229
Lag. Yeah, they should call it
turbo latency.
631
00:30:14,229 --> 00:30:15,814
Yeah.
632
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:16,356
It wasn't.
633
00:30:16,356 --> 00:30:19,025
It was a turbo lag, wasn't it?
That's what they call it.
634
00:30:19,025 --> 00:30:19,692
Yeah. Turbo.
635
00:30:19,692 --> 00:30:20,068
Yeah, yeah.
636
00:30:20,068 --> 00:30:23,071
I tell you what, this does discussion
does shine a really good light on it.
637
00:30:23,238 --> 00:30:27,325
1996 or 97
638
00:30:27,325 --> 00:30:31,287
would have been I was still at triple M
and we did a triple cast right?
639
00:30:31,454 --> 00:30:33,206
Yeah, I remember the triple cast.
640
00:30:33,206 --> 00:30:36,626
There was an Australian band called
Boom Crash Opera who was still around.
641
00:30:36,626 --> 00:30:37,752
Now they're actually touring at them.
642
00:30:37,752 --> 00:30:38,711
I remember them right.
643
00:30:38,711 --> 00:30:43,508
Well, we had, a TV show, a national
TV show called hey, Hey, It's Saturday,
644
00:30:43,508 --> 00:30:46,678
which was on it's Saturday night,
and it was like a national icon.
645
00:30:47,011 --> 00:30:48,179
So we got boom.
646
00:30:48,179 --> 00:30:51,432
So the triple M network
lined up with, hey, hey, it's Saturday,
647
00:30:51,432 --> 00:30:52,433
and we did a triple cast.
648
00:30:52,433 --> 00:30:56,437
We had a band member
in each state, each capital city.
649
00:30:56,437 --> 00:31:00,483
So I think Dale rider was a triple
M in Sydney with me.
650
00:31:00,775 --> 00:31:03,611
And there was the guitarist in Adelaide,
the drummer was somewhere,
651
00:31:03,611 --> 00:31:04,946
blah blah blah blah blah.
652
00:31:04,946 --> 00:31:09,868
And it was when the internet
was first starting up and they played live
653
00:31:10,410 --> 00:31:15,248
on TV, on triple M and on the internet,
so you could tune in and listen to them
654
00:31:15,248 --> 00:31:17,917
playing on the internet,
and they were all in a different state.
655
00:31:17,917 --> 00:31:20,920
So we're talking back then
656
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,631
dial up connections, all that rubbish.
657
00:31:23,631 --> 00:31:24,757
Wait wait wait wait wait.
658
00:31:24,757 --> 00:31:27,218
The musicians were in three
different positions.
659
00:31:27,218 --> 00:31:30,138
Were all those band members 4 or 5 in boom
fresh?
660
00:31:30,138 --> 00:31:32,974
Five? Oh, pleasant had gone by then,
so I would have been four. I think.
661
00:31:34,225 --> 00:31:36,311
I suppose it might be.
662
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:38,855
I'll tell you what it's on,
but you can watch it.
663
00:31:38,855 --> 00:31:41,858
It's on YouTube if you want to go
and watch it, I'll stick the link.
664
00:31:42,108 --> 00:31:44,861
They had to have been playing to a click
that was synchronized
665
00:31:44,861 --> 00:31:47,655
with the central point.
There's no effing way.
666
00:31:47,655 --> 00:31:50,825
Don't forget they were listening to the TV
feed to hear each other.
667
00:31:50,825 --> 00:31:54,203
They weren't listening to each other
across the internet, but it was correct.
668
00:31:54,203 --> 00:31:55,538
They're all listen is something that has.
669
00:31:55,538 --> 00:31:57,957
It was on all sides, right? Right,
I tell you.
670
00:31:57,957 --> 00:32:01,002
Broadcast,
terrestrial terrestrial broadcast.
671
00:32:01,002 --> 00:32:02,253
But still I mean, you know.
672
00:32:02,253 --> 00:32:05,048
Yeah. Back then yeah it was a big thing.
673
00:32:05,048 --> 00:32:06,758
That's pretty cool. Well, you were there.
674
00:32:06,758 --> 00:32:07,425
You were there. Rob.
675
00:32:07,425 --> 00:32:10,595
Oh. When,
guild off used to come and do drive
676
00:32:11,596 --> 00:32:13,723
in the.
677
00:32:13,723 --> 00:32:14,599
Yeah.
678
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:16,893
And he,
I got a call from a record company.
679
00:32:16,893 --> 00:32:19,062
Go, girl, I was talking to her,
and I said, what are you up to?
680
00:32:19,062 --> 00:32:23,650
Some at lunch with Lee Amalia from
Hothouse Flowers went, oh, he's Irish.
681
00:32:24,567 --> 00:32:27,570
Why don't you come in
and you can get on there with Geldof?
682
00:32:28,154 --> 00:32:30,323
So he did,
and then they end up doing a song member.
683
00:32:30,323 --> 00:32:31,783
They did do the live song,
684
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:34,786
which was a Tim Buckley song,
and I wish I could remember what it was,
685
00:32:34,869 --> 00:32:38,081
but Liam Amalia played keyboards and sang.
686
00:32:38,831 --> 00:32:41,376
Charlie Musselwhite was on harmonica.
687
00:32:41,376 --> 00:32:44,379
Can't remember than a guy's name
who's playing guitar.
688
00:32:45,004 --> 00:32:46,756
And I think Geldof
sort of wandered it out,
689
00:32:46,756 --> 00:32:50,176
playing the bow role
or some weird shit, but, But
690
00:32:50,176 --> 00:32:53,388
Liam, Amalia, the headphones didn't work
and we were going live to hear.
691
00:32:54,514 --> 00:32:55,515
So he played the
692
00:32:55,515 --> 00:32:58,851
keyboards, he couldn't hear the keyboard,
and he sang.
693
00:32:59,102 --> 00:32:59,769
Oh, wow.
694
00:32:59,769 --> 00:33:01,062
But he played the keyboard.
695
00:33:01,062 --> 00:33:04,190
Didn't miss a note
without even hearing it. Yes.
696
00:33:04,691 --> 00:33:06,526
That's somebody that was amazing, Mr.
697
00:33:06,526 --> 00:33:08,236
Beethoven. Some of those guys.
698
00:33:08,236 --> 00:33:08,403
Yeah.
699
00:33:08,403 --> 00:33:11,114
I mean, my let
I have one last latency story too,
700
00:33:11,114 --> 00:33:15,368
because it ties into radio again
when I did the Eagles football,
701
00:33:15,910 --> 00:33:19,455
broadcasts, we were simulcasting
because it was television,
702
00:33:19,998 --> 00:33:22,041
but we were on the radio. Right.
703
00:33:22,041 --> 00:33:26,254
And it's not technically a simulcast,
but the fans in Philly
704
00:33:26,254 --> 00:33:30,258
and in the Philadelphia area
wanted to hear our announcer, you know.
705
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:32,969
Yeah, they want to hear the hometown
announcer. Right.
706
00:33:32,969 --> 00:33:36,556
So it's very popular to turn down
the television and turn up the radio.
707
00:33:36,556 --> 00:33:39,517
Right. Talk about sync problems.
708
00:33:39,517 --> 00:33:42,520
What often happened was
we were ahead of the broadcast.
709
00:33:43,229 --> 00:33:44,772
Yeah. Right, right.
710
00:33:44,772 --> 00:33:49,110
And so you would get calls from the fans
calling in the station saying.
711
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,446
You guys are ahead of the TV, man.
712
00:33:51,446 --> 00:33:53,948
And then we'd have to call in
to engineering.
713
00:33:53,948 --> 00:33:56,159
And they had a delay control,
you know, back at the.
714
00:33:56,159 --> 00:34:01,122
Yeah, at the station
they'd add a second 2 or 3 of delay
715
00:34:01,539 --> 00:34:04,667
so that when you lose to the game
because you see when you hear male go,
716
00:34:04,876 --> 00:34:07,420
it's just, you know, fumble
and the guy's still running
717
00:34:07,420 --> 00:34:10,006
and they're like, it's
going to be a fumble. Oh shit.
718
00:34:10,006 --> 00:34:12,341
Oh you bet. Yeah.
719
00:34:13,468 --> 00:34:13,760
Yeah.
720
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,179
So you would have to deal with that,
you know. And that.
721
00:34:16,179 --> 00:34:16,971
Well if. You watch it.
722
00:34:16,971 --> 00:34:20,308
If you watch film coverage,
you'll see that all the time
723
00:34:20,308 --> 00:34:24,395
because they'll, they'll cross the
like this the garage of whatever team.
724
00:34:24,395 --> 00:34:26,230
And you see a screen in the background
725
00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:29,317
which is showing something
you saw about four seconds ago.
726
00:34:29,984 --> 00:34:33,488
And then it will turn to the guys in the,
you know, in the in the garage
727
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:36,365
on the pit lane, two. More places
where latency comes up.
728
00:34:36,365 --> 00:34:40,745
Number one, you buy these in house
like Sony's speakers,
729
00:34:41,579 --> 00:34:43,956
and they are having to synchronize
the delay
730
00:34:43,956 --> 00:34:46,959
throughout your house
so that you walk upstairs and downstairs
731
00:34:47,502 --> 00:34:51,089
and you get somewhat
of a continuous experience
732
00:34:51,547 --> 00:34:55,968
without getting an echoey sound
when you're standing between two zones.
733
00:34:57,386 --> 00:34:57,929
That's one.
734
00:34:57,929 --> 00:35:00,389
And that's very hard to do,
especially because you're dealing
735
00:35:00,389 --> 00:35:03,101
with physical space.
736
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:05,645
At some point
you cannot actually compensate for this.
737
00:35:05,645 --> 00:35:05,937
You can.
738
00:35:05,937 --> 00:35:07,772
Only one thing to be really clear about.
739
00:35:07,772 --> 00:35:09,482
You can only compensate for latency.
740
00:35:09,482 --> 00:35:14,946
From a point of perspective, and you can
only compensate latency by adding latency.
741
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:19,492
There's no time travel like people have
latency compensation like. You.
742
00:35:19,492 --> 00:35:20,743
Can't speed it up to.
743
00:35:20,743 --> 00:35:21,702
Time travel yet.
744
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:24,705
Yeah. You can't you can't go back in time.
745
00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:25,915
So that's one place.
746
00:35:25,915 --> 00:35:28,876
The other thing
that's interesting with latency,
747
00:35:28,876 --> 00:35:32,046
you might remember with landline
748
00:35:32,046 --> 00:35:35,049
phone calls, they were quicker.
749
00:35:35,716 --> 00:35:38,261
And now everyone is so used to latency
750
00:35:38,261 --> 00:35:43,057
on the phone network with cell phones
that the funniest thing
751
00:35:43,057 --> 00:35:46,060
that I've realized, actually,
is that recently I've been on a few phone
752
00:35:46,060 --> 00:35:49,063
calls and Source Connect
beat the phone call.
753
00:35:49,397 --> 00:35:51,149
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
754
00:35:51,149 --> 00:35:53,067
Which was really interesting.
755
00:35:53,067 --> 00:35:57,488
Well, everyone
now is this culturally used to much higher
756
00:35:57,488 --> 00:36:01,617
latency conversations
than we used to in the 80s with
757
00:36:02,577 --> 00:36:04,662
wired telephones across the whole world.
758
00:36:04,662 --> 00:36:06,414
Except when you were doing.
The you're going. Through these.
759
00:36:06,414 --> 00:36:11,335
I can still remember though, back in
the 70s and 80s, because I'm fucking old.
760
00:36:12,128 --> 00:36:13,921
You know,
you be doing an international call.
761
00:36:13,921 --> 00:36:16,924
It'd be like, how are you?
762
00:36:16,966 --> 00:36:17,925
Are you there? Yeah. Good.
763
00:36:17,925 --> 00:36:19,594
Oh, no. I'm sorry.
764
00:36:19,594 --> 00:36:20,595
And then everyone's talking over
765
00:36:20,595 --> 00:36:22,805
one another and it's costing
loads of money and.
766
00:36:22,805 --> 00:36:24,432
Yeah, yeah.
767
00:36:24,432 --> 00:36:26,225
God, Jesus.
It's like a phone call. Oh, yeah.
768
00:36:26,225 --> 00:36:28,603
I a half hour interview
at a radio station.
769
00:36:28,603 --> 00:36:31,314
It cost the station,
like 200 bucks or something. Yeah, yeah.
770
00:36:31,314 --> 00:36:33,149
I see end lines go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
771
00:36:33,149 --> 00:36:35,735
Fucking. Oh yeah yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
772
00:36:35,735 --> 00:36:38,738
God forbid someone forgot to hang up
the damn ISDN box.
773
00:36:39,405 --> 00:36:43,868
Over the weekend, we we did that
when we were just, testing Source Connect,
774
00:36:43,868 --> 00:36:48,623
and we were doing some latency tests
because aptX for example, is a codec.
775
00:36:48,623 --> 00:36:52,627
We were talking about compression
and decompression, and we used to have
776
00:36:52,627 --> 00:36:56,380
a version of Source Connect that use
the aptX codec or people call it aptX X.
777
00:36:56,839 --> 00:37:00,843
And now aptX is used a lot with Bluetooth
for doing your surround speakers
778
00:37:00,843 --> 00:37:04,222
because it's it most codecs.
779
00:37:04,222 --> 00:37:07,725
A codec is the thing that compresses
the data and makes it less data
780
00:37:07,725 --> 00:37:08,684
to transmit.
781
00:37:08,684 --> 00:37:12,188
Most codecs do this
by figuring out what you can't hear.
782
00:37:12,188 --> 00:37:15,316
Is a human. But aptX didn't use,
783
00:37:16,275 --> 00:37:17,443
perceptual coding.
784
00:37:17,443 --> 00:37:20,738
It used, linear adaptive linear
785
00:37:20,738 --> 00:37:23,783
PCM or something I think had ad, I forget.
786
00:37:23,783 --> 00:37:25,785
But anyways, it was much, much faster.
787
00:37:25,785 --> 00:37:29,622
What would take most codecs around
20 milliseconds to encode decode?
788
00:37:29,956 --> 00:37:33,125
I think aptX could do it
in four milliseconds. Wow.
789
00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:38,589
So we were testing with the aptX ISDN box
and comparing it to Source Connect.
790
00:37:38,589 --> 00:37:40,216
Connect it to California.
791
00:37:40,216 --> 00:37:42,802
We had some pretty good results
792
00:37:42,802 --> 00:37:45,888
and then we just went home
and it was the weekend.
793
00:37:45,930 --> 00:37:46,597
Yeah.
794
00:37:46,597 --> 00:37:49,809
And the aptX system would take
it wouldn't take two ISDN lines.
795
00:37:49,809 --> 00:37:55,189
It would take four because it it couldn't
achieve as much of a compression ratio.
796
00:37:55,189 --> 00:37:56,315
It was much faster.
797
00:37:56,315 --> 00:37:57,358
Who didn't disconnect?
798
00:37:57,358 --> 00:38:00,361
Robert I'm. Innocent.
799
00:38:01,028 --> 00:38:03,614
The box didn't disconnect.
800
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:06,534
The the line, the,
801
00:38:06,534 --> 00:38:07,034
Oops.
802
00:38:07,034 --> 00:38:09,453
That was an expensive,
that was got to hang.
803
00:38:09,453 --> 00:38:10,162
That was expensive.
804
00:38:10,162 --> 00:38:14,542
That was that was almost $1,000 for that
one weekend.
805
00:38:14,542 --> 00:38:15,042
Yeah.
806
00:38:15,042 --> 00:38:18,045
Yeah, it happened to Miguel for our IP.
807
00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:20,131
They left it open.
808
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:21,507
Yeah, yeah, nobody hung up.
809
00:38:21,507 --> 00:38:23,050
The suit didn't hang up. Yeah.
810
00:38:23,050 --> 00:38:25,678
And he he was the one that dialed in. Oh.
811
00:38:25,678 --> 00:38:29,140
Which is not really protocol,
but for whatever reason.
812
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,976
Boom. He dialed in. And got he got nailed.
813
00:38:31,976 --> 00:38:34,395
He got the bill. Yeah. And he. Yeah.
814
00:38:34,395 --> 00:38:35,563
My my, when when.
815
00:38:35,563 --> 00:38:39,608
When I first set up the bridge,
I bought a, used my, ISDN box,
816
00:38:39,608 --> 00:38:41,235
and it came from some radio station.
817
00:38:41,235 --> 00:38:43,487
It was set up as a studio,
the transmitter link.
818
00:38:43,487 --> 00:38:46,657
And it had a program in there that said,
if you disconnect,
819
00:38:46,657 --> 00:38:50,202
like dial back
and get that connection back.
820
00:38:50,828 --> 00:38:53,164
And I didn't know that,
I didn't clear the settings out.
821
00:38:53,164 --> 00:38:57,543
And I put my new ISDN numbers in there,
and I did a bridge that dialed out.
822
00:38:57,835 --> 00:39:01,213
And then like bridges over
and I disconnected or whatever.
823
00:39:01,505 --> 00:39:06,427
And I got home and that was like 300 bucks
and that was just for like eight hours
824
00:39:06,427 --> 00:39:10,056
or something or six hours
that the stupid thing dialed back.
825
00:39:10,514 --> 00:39:14,352
The moral to the story is, if you've got
an ISDN box and you forget to hang up,
826
00:39:14,935 --> 00:39:18,356
you need to go to a CVS store right now
because you're going to need it.
827
00:39:23,569 --> 00:39:25,571
And that's the out
828
00:39:25,571 --> 00:39:26,280
literally.
829
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,283
Well, that's the that's is at the end.
830
00:39:30,493 --> 00:39:33,496
Both.
831
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:36,832
Well that was fun.
832
00:39:36,832 --> 00:39:38,167
Is it a works.
