Wow, what fx are you running -- and does that or could that include convoluted reverb?

(Convoluted reverb is utterly awesome but more processor intensive than almost anything else)

Edit: and sorry, to be helpful, by low latency, could you meantion how many ms that is -- because while I'm very happy for you, and really interested, 15ms is very different to say 5ms or lower




My normal chain is a noise gate, followed by a comp, a little emulated tube drive, an SVT amp model, an impulse response modeled cab simulator (of course running a 8x12 SVT cab), a plate reverb, and a limiter. I've got some crazier ones, but as a beginner bassist, that's all I really need. There are literally hundreds of effects to choose from though.

Convolution reverb is an option, but it ended up being a little more than the Pi4 could handle iirc. I didn't tinker with it much though.

Latency is under 10ms, I'd have to go back and check my settings to confirm exactly though.


Just double checked my jack settings; I'm running my interface at 48000hz with a buffer size of 128 and 2 periods for a theoretical latency of 5.33ms. I'm sure USB adds a fraction of a millisecond as well.


Thanks! Musically that's really viable and fun setup

A really helpful data point :)

You're doing great! You don't need my help, but just share my own path, because it's fun :)

Yeah, play the bass, if i start talking about computing im not helping...

Err, why am i still here?

I switched to BSD or the OSS driver and went from massive effort ~5ms to zero effort ~2ms

Then I made a two button controller and pedal->usb, and started programming an arbitrary effects controller: a looper + buttons to switch the pedal to control any fx parameter

Fun, but it didn't help me make better music :)


You'll get lower latency with 3 buffers. Try 16/3.
