1. An audio processor for use by a performer, said audio processor comprising:

  • an audio input for accepting a local acoustic performance by said performer in real time, said audio input providing a local signal representative of said local acoustic performance;

    a communication channel interface, said interface having access through a communication channel to at least one remote audio processor, said access to each of the at least one remote audio processor having an associated first latency, said interface substantially immediately sending said local signal to the at least one remote audio processor in real time, said interface further receiving from each of the at least one remote audio processor an inbound signal representative of a remote acoustic performance;

    an audio output; and

    , a delay, said delay having a non-zero local delay value, said delay adding a second latency specified by the local delay value to said local signal, said delay providing said local signal to said audio output, said delay having a remote delay value associated with each of the at least one remote audio processor, said delay adding a third latency specified by said remote delay value to each corresponding at least one inbound signal, said delay providing the inbound signal to said audio output;

    said audio output converting the local signal and the at least one inbound signal for said performer to hear with the effects of said delay.
