Very interesting. I was ready to hate it, but the walkthrough video was actually really good too.
My only real point would be to try to bring the user sound feature in earlier, since some of the built in sounds are a little disappointing, and that might put people off before they realise you can record your own. That might be resolvable by adding some effect dials too.
As an Android person it annoys me to think you probably couldn't do something like this so well on Android, as the highly variable touch input and audio latencies would kill it.
- akumpf 13y agoThanks. I think you're spot-on about getting to the user-recorded sound quicker. I'll definitely keep that in mind for future videos. Yeah, we've been trying to make Android happen, but it's exactly as you mentioned -- the wide range of device capabilities in general, and the audio latency in particular, makes things quite a bit trickier. Who knows, maybe KitKat or beyond will prioritize the audio/interaction a bit further and help us out. In the meantime, we'll keep trying just in case we stumble across some magic. :)
- fidotron 13y agoThey gave a good talk at I/O on just audio latency: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3kfEeMZ65c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3kfEeMZ65c The touch latency alone is generally in the >80ms ballpark as well though, and varies a lot between devices.
