Hi Joachim, I don't know what most people use, but the fastest choice is portaudio because it can output to the ASIO4ALL virtual audio device or the Windows kernel streaming device drivers. Those are much faster than the MME drivers.
For MIDI I use portmidi because it enables the "all" input device to be selected which makes things a lot easier than trying to deal with WinMM MIDI Mapper. There is also an issue with device enumeration in CsoundQt when winmm is selected, which makes choosing the correct input device difficult.
I'd definitely steer people towards portaudio and portmidi in the explanation. Cheers, ~ andy.f On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 7:09 AM, joachim heintz <jh@joachimheintz.de> wrote: ... and MIDI too, please ... |

With the current real-time audio modules, PortAudio and wdmks have the best (and similar) latency. Which to use will depend upon the device's driver support, not on Csound. wsapi is not bad but not as fast. DirectSound is next. Then mme, but it will pretty much always work. For MIDI it doesn't matter much for just input, not sure about more complex uses. Regards, Mike On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 7:53 AM, andy fillebrown <andy.fillebrown@gmail.com> wrote:

As Andy mentioned, MME is slow. For any type of real-time use, MME would be a very poor choice, due to the latency. -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/audio-module-on-windows-tp5721769p5721775.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |
