I'm wondering what externals people have used to successfully share 

audio between max/msp patches on different computers, potentially 

separated by many miles (or an ocean). I currently don't have access to 

Internet 2, but with my university's connection, I should be able to 

send and receive a fairly high-bandwidth signal. Can any of the mxj 

objects be used for this purpose? Many thanks.

streaming with PD between a few cities. it worked fine. We didnt 

address sync issues though. Check out nSlam as well.

and here are my PD patches on my old site 

there is no reason the same couldnt be done with Max/MSP

for anyware ( http://share.dj/events/anyware/ ) , we used ogg  
streaming with PD between a few cities. it worked fine. We didnt  
address sync issues though. Check out nSlam as well.

Thanks for the tips! The PD objects are fine for longer-term 

investigation for me, but currently I have a fairly involved Max/MSP 

patch that needs net audio connections. I have played with both the 

netsend~/netreceive~ objects, and the oggPro packages, but didn't have 

much success with either. I believe a lot has to do with buffering and 

bandwidth issues. I am connecting to a performer in Denmark (supposedly 

over a high-speed connection), but we are not able to exchange audio 

with the netsend~/receive~ objects without serious dropouts and then 

eventually Max/MSP seizing up or crashing. With oggPro, we each streamed 

audio to different nodes on an Icecast server (at 128kbps), and then 

retrieved each other's streams. Besides the serious latency of this 

approach, I could only get a few seconds of audio from him before 

So I suppose I'm wondering what other network audio Max/MSP objects are 

out there that people have had success with? Many thanks.
