hey hey!
probably my problems with pd's audio latency are easy to explain and eliminate, but by now i didn't make it by myself.
basically i am trying to create a looping-module for some simple live overdubbing. i already supposed that i have to factor in the latency for precise timing, but the presetted 50ms doesn't bring correct results. so i measured the latency with this latency.pd patch, using jack to create the feedback, it shows me a latency of about 24.6ms. is this latency constant? and what does the 50ms-preset mean?
and by the way, what are the first steps to optimize (minimize) the latency?
i am using ubuntu studio, pd-extended and right now the built-in sound card of my ibm think pad t41.
thank you!
