I wonder when we'll see audiobus for android
. Sounds very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I doubt Audiobus would be needed for Android. Plug-ins are allowed in the Android system, so VSTs and such would work. Only the iPad has everything completely sandboxed.
This is all very nice for the Android musician and I know sometime in the future the platform will fully mature as viable music platform.
At the same time I also believe it may never catch up with IOS. The reason is diversity.
There are just too many different hardware manufacturers using thier own chips, DACs, and board design.
It all reminds me of the early PC days, what a mess that was, I remember being spoilt for choice, when it came to sound cards but none were any good, unless you were prepared to pay through the nose. Most cards would record or playback audio but not both at the same time, noooo, for that you needed a full duplex card, that I couldn't afford.
I think if it wasn't for the sound blaster range of cards, setting a standard, the PC platform would still be in a mess.
So diversity will continue until android phone manufacturers get together and decide on a standard chipset and DAC.
Never say never. There are a whole lot of android users out there. Surely one or two of them like making music. If you asked a developer on iOS right now if they'd turn down money from and android user, I'd bet I could guess their answer.
I usually try to do a little research before buying an app - particularly if the dev is unknown to me. When looking into Oscilab, I noticed it is also available on Android. It appears the dev started on that platform with an app called Pocketband (speculation on my part).
However, there is a serious dearth of quality music production apps on Android. It's definitely an area where iOS sets itself apart.
The dearth is a result of the serious latency issue they had since the beginning. I think the article (and others I've read) is suggesting that might no longer be an issue. If that's the case, you might be looking at the dawn of a new music making platform. Cool stuff, really. Even though android isn't my personal cup o tea, I can respect that it's a big win for all musicians if the platform is more appeing to music developers now.
The ios touch screen music app market seems to be saturated so porting the apps from there to android would make a lot of sense for developers. I think a bit of proper competition from android wouldn't us hurt either. Competition is always good for the end user.
Ios is years ahead of this.
Android audio won't lift off, just like you don't see android in webstatistics
it's just the thing they sell to non tec mummies as smartphone. Meh.
@lala: I agree.... but i'm lurking for their RAM
The article still reports around 20ms latency under low latency, unless I read wrong; that's still not quite where you'd want it for real time playing.
I was anti apple for a long time and favored Linux and android, but I realized I was spending more time tweaking and fixing my systems than actually making music. So although I gave up system control, I increased productivity by huge margins when I went all apple.
That being said, if android becomes viable for music production that's a positive, but I'm not in any hurry to dump iOS or apple. My iPad has changed my musical life, that's not an exaggeration (as well as my non-music day job life). My android was great for watching videos and listening to music, so great for consumption but not for production.
Totally agree @mrufino1 the same feeling I got when moved away from windows to osx. Windows may kind of give you more control but then you spend all your time installing drivers. Sod that!

This gave me a chuckle
I'd rather be a musician than an engineer but iOS gives you the opportunity to do music and engineer things. Very slick. Android is too fragmented at the moment so it is very difficult to port software into that environment. Imagine testing your app with hundreds of devices running different software versions etc. This walled garden of Apple's ecosystem is not perfect but I love it.
