Re: [LAU] Value of low-latency in audio?

If you think 64ms is fine then you're probably not doing live
beatboxing processing ;). For percussive sounds especially, the
latency is immediately obvious to a live musician - for many
performers a high latency also manifests in a tendency to slow your
tempo down (lagging your performance to keep in sync with the lagged
output)...
