USB C Direct VS Camera Kit, Guitar Sim, Live Streaming [Halp]
Turning down buffer beyond what I can in Cubasis really did the trick for me, I am now able to use Tonestack!.. This was such a close call for me, I almost spent 600$ on a Nano Cortex for iOS integration, Helix or similar, but using LP and AUM’s low buffer I have been able to walk away from that.
I am currently on a lightning iPad using camera connection kit with a trusty Roland Rubix, but I was thinking if i get a USB-C iPad with a soundcard I could try to “plug direct”. Maybe I can loose 1-2 more miliseconds when using amp Sim with USB C and foregoing the Kamerakit, what do you think?
I was looking at John Paul Music’s (Named after bass player in Led Zeppelin JP?) video on the Momix soundcard
I was thinking to catch up on streaming aswell.
-Does sending audio out from a soundcard mixer like Momix seperate (like in the video above) influence the Latency I am trying to get rid of while using a Guitar Sim? I’d sure like to try livestreaming with Guitar Sim.

I'm not sure USB-C alone will get you better results in your latency. A lot of audio devices still use USB 2, regardless of physical port type, because it is fast enough for this type of work. As far as I know, all Lightning-equipped iPads can do at least USB 2 speeds. Even some of the newer iPads, like 6th-gen iPad mini, connect with USB 2 over the USB-C port in a lot of cases.
The processing power of a newer iPad will have a bigger influence on this. Lowering the buffer size ultimately just requires you to be able to process more buffers per second, so in theory a faster processor would do better.
In that case I will be looking for GhZ rather than Ram?
Still hopefull the camera kit steals a couple ms
Essentially, although RAM is still pretty important in general. I'd be pretty surprised if you were losing multiple ms from an adaptor dongle, but since I can't test your actual hardware I can't say that as an absolute fact.
If I can scrounge one ms on the dongle I’d be up for it. It made the world the two MS I got from buffer. I imagined the signal getting translated through that but I guess its not so much the case.
But am i looking for Mhz rather than RAM on my next iPad you think? Its from M1 and up, but multi core might nit be as important as the MhZ in this case no?
The CCK isn't doing analog to digital conversion, so I'd be surprised if it contributes any measurable latency.
If you can run at a higher sample rate, that reduces the latency. 96kHz runs at half the latency of 48kHz with the same buffer sizes. 48kHz runs roughly 9% lower than 44.1kHz. (Assuming native support for the sample rate).
Whosh wim I dident realize that!
I was browsing other windows and that locked me at 44.1 anyhow. That ment a bunch going to 96 rn, acually. feel like im up to speed. Have to try not to buy the wrong gear here
I’ve also stuck it out with old gear til i need to upgrade.
With the abiity to livestream I guess I’d want a quality soundcard and some sort of M chip to handle screen capture while not giving latency.
If y’all have any experience about it please share
Now I know the next step, in addition to rehearsing that is
