I suppose this is a question for devs but maybe someone has experience. I have read the manual but it is not so explicit in this area.

Question. Can I use the unsynced framerate modes to accurately and dependably test for framerate independent issues.

I am asking as I am getting some unusual buggy behaviour when using these testing modes (which are giving very high framerates anywhere from 300 to 1000+ fps ). Issues which I have not observed on up to 144hz monitors. But maybe the 144hz was not high enough to see them.

I just want to make sure I am not wasting time chasing issues that are not realworld.

just to add, finally , maybe for consideration in the future,

And adding user-configurable settings results in equal or worse problems

this is not true for audio apps,

all pro audio applications have facility to set the latency/audio buffer.

this is to allow the user to lower latency as much as possible for real time playing of digital instruments when recording

and then raise as much as needed to allow as much processing time as needed when playing back multiple tracks with effects etc without the requirement for real-time playing.

the signal to the user that they have set the latency/buffer too low is audible glitching. i.e. The glitching is actually needed it is a good thing.

i.e. When playing a real-time digital instrument, When the user hears the glitching after lowering the latency they would then raise the latency just a little to find the lowest viable value where there is no glitching.

all examples in leading music production software below.

Hi Ashley

Did you imply that there is a way to force different lower audio latency hints to solve this issue?

It may not be appropriate for games but the feature is ubiquitous on desktop audio apps.

i.e. is there a way at runtime to say have a slider that the user could set the AudioContext 'latencyHint: lower to test the results.

If audio started popping/glitching they could raise it. If there was lag without glitching they could lower it to find the best sweet spot

Even if they had to restart the app to do so each time.

If this could be implemented into C3 that would be awesome but Im not necessary asking for a new feature.

just confirmation that maybe something could be done, perhaps just in scripting ???

for those ur us who are hampered by the audio lag on android.

I quote a response from one of the chrome developers under chrome bug 1014614

“…your particular application, you could try constructing the AudioContext with 'latencyHint: 0.003'. Chrome will try to set the latency to about 3 ms (look at baseLatency to see what the actual value is). This may cause lots of audio glitches on your device. But it could also work well….”

How would we do this in C3?

so I started messing with tone.js. tonejs.github.io

i have no idea what I am doing .. just thinking it would be cool to make somesynth in construct with tone.js

I figured out I can drop tone.js into a script and start messing with the api.

i put this basic synth together in a few minutes and it works perfect when previewing on desktop

press the red boxes to make noise....

drive.google.com/open

(fyi warning if you click on the tone.js script file it can take about a minute to come to life. it will get there eventually your machine has not crashed.)

but when hosted or when previewing on mobile there is no sound...

is this some audio policy thing ? I tried adding in a construct audio object with a triggered imported audio to get over that but the tone.js synth still wouldn't play...

anyone got any ideas....?
