Re: about ninjam



For me, the most beneficial feature of Nijmam is that many people can 
steam 
through the same server. That's a beautful thing.  Sure, you can sync, but 
it's not in real time. You still have the time delay (it's just packaged 
up 
in a synced way), so the performance is not two or more people playing 
together in real-time in the strict sense of the term, like what is the 
case 
when playing in person. So, if you are fine with playing over someone's 
part 
that has been played 15-30 seconds beforehand (or whatever it happens to 
be), that's cool. I guess if you are syncing local software, that is a 
different matter, but I personally dislike that sort of collaboration...I 
don't like a machine correcting or defning my meter for me. It's annoying 
and unnatural for me. I like to keep things freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
