Finally found another PC-connected player to test AxeFX remote use. This guy, in Canada, has an Eleven Rack, which will only send a dry signal down the pipeline through Skype. It only send dry signal because of an ASIO driver issue... being a programmer, he'll get to work on that.
In a previous test, I'd forgotten to set Skype to listen for audio through the Axe, so it wasn't sending to signal back to the player at the other end.
His bandwidth and throughput were decent enough that the audio quality on my end was pretty decent.
Latency to get the audio signal back to him was about 1/2 second, he said. OK, that's an issue for sure, and I expected a lot more latency, really. Not so bad for the distance between us, really.
But hey, it works.
Skype badly needs some bandwidth control and bitrate settings.
