Getting rid of Latency
Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2016 7:06 am
At the risk of briging up a toured subject, I have decided to mention this because I was giving up hope that live midi performance was not going to be possible with the way that a Droid devices currently process large midi/audio mixes.
I am using the Galaxy S with a10.5" screen and 30gb hd, quad-core 1.9mkz. I am told if any andriod device is capable of creating tracks, this tablet is one. My problem is latancy, I have reduced the latancy to roughly 12ms, but that is still way too much. I am really hopeful that I can get this down to 3,4 maybe 5 ms. I am using G Stomper and one other app which I won't name here, suffice to say that I am getting about the same results with the other. THEN, I loaded up a little music creation app for Galaxy called "Soundcamp" . It comes with some decent drum samples, (that's all I've heard so far), but, NO LATENCY! I laid down a couple of drum tracks and as I was tapping away at the screen, the notes were placed just as I played them with almost no Latency, I mean a couple ms at the most. So....I'm hoping that either I can find more ways to knock off more msecs cutting cpu load or maybe the Devs can have another look at the overcomplex way andriod handles audio. That weird little app gave me hope, it's not my tab.
By the way, can some one tell me how I get my controller to look at the Sampler? All I can play at moment is the Beast!
Thanks
