Abstract

Analyzing the Quality of Musicians’ Experience (QoME) in Network Music Performance (NMP) typically involves having musicians perform NMP sessions and then assessing their experience via questionnaires. Such subjective studies produce results with wide variances, making the extraction of solid conclusions difficult. For this reason, we complemented a subjective study on the effects of delay in the QoME of NMP with an analysis of the audio captured during the study using automated tools. Specifically, we used signal processing techniques to analyze the captured audio, in order to detect tempo evolution during each performance and examine its correlation with delay. Our results indicate that musicians in real NMP settings are more tolerant to delay than previously thought, holding a steady tempo even with one way delays of 40 ms.
