halo.
in a recent setup i had to sync a pc that generated sounds to another that did the visuals. all tests with udp or tcp connections were unsatisfying. the beat was not received constantly on the other machine. now i do it with midi and am happy. i didn't measure anything but a jitter is no longer obvious.
osc will not be better than netsend via udp since it still uses udp.
grkks. joreg.
