3 ms. Think about that one more time. That means the ONLY time a dj
is going to really noticed any latency is when he's doing some heavy
scratching, and minute at best. When you look at windows with its 35ms
on a great day latency, you see why this system needs to be run on be
os.
Anyone have any specs on Mac OS X? I've heard from propaganda
(http://www.apple.com/macosx/technologies/audio.html)
that audio throughput latency on OS X is as low as 1ms. To quote:
"The Core Audio HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) provides ultra low
latency communication between applications and I/O devices that is
measurably more efficient than previous solutions. M-Audio reports
latency as low as 40 samples on Mac OS X from the company’s audio
interfaces. That translates into 1ms throughput latency — and you get
this performance in a full multi-channel environment."
Unfortunately there are no pro audio apps out for Mac OS X to test this
with. If this is true, I would think that it makes more sense to
release Final Scratch on Mac OS X rather than BeOS...
