audio latency Issue:
This might not be a big deal to most but today, I went to the Android market looking for a music app, something like NanoStudio for iPhone. I found a lot of 2nd rate loop creation synth nonsense. After trying different free versions of paid software I asked myself "why are there no good music apps for Android?"
I emailed the creators of NanoStudio to ask if there are any plans to release an Android version of their software. here is the reply:
"Not until they get their act together with audio latency, no. Shame really because NanoStudio's written to be cross platform"
This greatly disappointed me. I am a music producer going on 10 years (hip hop, Trip hop, Electronic, etc..) so you can understand my interest in this issue.
iphone, iPod have amazing music apps of this sort. Android has nothing close.
YouTube - NanoStudio iPhone - First Demo
I went here:
Issue 3434 - android - need NDK support for real-time low latency audio; synchronous play and record - Project Hosting on Google Code
And learned that a great amount of Devs are looking to bring great music apps to Android but because of the audio latency issue with in Android their hands are tied. Maybe if enough of us star the issue Google will listen?
I don't normally rant, maybe I was due..
