In reality there
are more important timing related issues which need to be considered.
As we all know
the human brain uses the information from both ears to determine where the
sound came from using the difference in arrival time. To get proper imaging
the delay should be as constant as possible.
More important,
and definitely a challenge for MIDI like systems is that variable delay
changes the timing of when notes are heard. Jitter on a drum track results in
a different ‘groove’ or ‘feel’.
