50ms to 100ms is also acceptable as long as it is loopable without any pauses in playback

whats the difference between an audio API used in a music player and an audio API used in a DAW
I
Matthew Good
anyone know any API's capable of looping 1ms of audio
You can always duplicate your set of samples and make it long enough
I
Usually people use ASIO as the base for sequencers and generators
MG
ok, so apparently the Superpowered SDK is capable of looping a minimum of 11ms without any stuttering, which is acceptaable, as it refuses to play 10ms and below samples
I
There is always a minimum buffer
MG
such as
10ms.wav, 5ms.wav, 2ms.wav, and 1ms.wavI
Any sort of intermediate processing requires buffering
MG
while the IOS
AudioShare app (which i use to render the samples) can play those <10ms samplesI
You can f.e. take AudioTrack class and write your 1ms audio frequently enough for it to play normaly
MG
or rather, it can only play
2ms minimum, as 1ms does not output anythingI
It comes down to drivers
MG
ok
I
I guess this is the reason why there is a certain level of popularity around iOS devices being used for DJ and similar purposes
MG
i guess, could just be a limitation of the Superpowered SDK api too
MG
idk
I
What is the goal?
MG
also my buffer size is 420
MG
my goal is to loop a piece of audio in a short as possible length of time (or to loop it as fast as possible)
I
I took a look at suppow sdk, it seems that their focus is to be efficient and low powered, instead of giving you an incredibly low latency
