The proliferation of apps for musicians on iOS (drums, guitar amps) is explained by the iOS's longstanding API for low-latency audio. I hope we can expect the same kinds of apps, with usable latency, for Android now too.
- veli_joza 8y agoI contacted one of Oboe authors and I reached conclusion that this doesn't achieve anything you couldn't already get with openal-soft lib. You can expect some 20ms of audio delay, plus 16-33ms of touchscreen latency . If you are curious about latency, check out my android app "Hexpress" (on play store) that gives you drums and other instruments to play with. I measured roughly 50 ms of tap-to-sound delay, not consistent across devices. That lands it within 'cute audio toy' territory, which is why I stopped investing time.
- f_m 8y agoThat's too bad: on my OnePlus 6, the latencies for your app are great. It's the first time I'm drumming in an Android app, and am not bothered by latency. Thank you for having the source on Github, I'll amuse myself this weekend checking the code.
