Minim Lag?
May 12th, 2008, 1:51am  
I've made a few little games in processing, but now I'm trying to add sound, with Minim. But I'm experiencing significant lag when triggering sounds. For example, for a pong demo, if I trigger the "bounce" sound when the ball hits my paddle, the ball will have traveled almost to the other side of screen before I hear the sound. Any Ideas? Maybe the AudioPlayer class is more efficient than the AudioSample class that I'm using?

Try using AudioSnippet for quick triggering sounds.

I have this exact same problem. Sounds are delayed by roughly 0.5-1 seconds (varies) after they are triggered.

I'm running Linux so I thought maybe it was an issue with the sound daemon, so I tried disabling that and using plain ALSA, but that didn't help.

Will try it on a Windows box later to see if it has the same issue.

Tried it in Windows and have the same issue there. Maybe not quite as bad, but it's still definitely there.

Thanks for the pointer but I think csound is a bit too advanced for my purposes.
