Abstract

For many years, the mechanisms of transmitting audio streams have been gaining popularity. The SARS-COV-2 pandemic completely remodeled people's habits by completely preventing participation in concerts. The technical possibilities of the musicians’ remote cooperation have not been fully used yet.The popularity of remote communication is unquestionable. However, so far this type of communication has been based on a one-to-many model. In the case of music events, or music production in general, a many-to-one or generally many-to-many model must be implemented. For this to be possible, it is necessary to solve the problem of synchornization of streams originating sequentially from many creators. In addition to the aspect of audio stream synchronization discussed in this article, one of the assumptions was also the ease of adapting the proposed solution as part of a web application.
